Free Talk Live Interviews Shelly Roche Tonight

[FSP-Rebel]

Shelly is highly considering the Free State Project. Listen to the interview.

It's a good interview. Too bad the loser calls in with a silly comment. Shelly does a great job, though.

And even though I am a huge fan of the FSP (clearly, I did join and move), I'd still like to call Ian of FTL out on one of his statements. While NH was one of the top primary states (and did very well compared to the other primary states), Ron Paul did not do better in the NH primary than all of the other primaries.

Shelly explained how she thought RP was going to win NH and that was her first big disappointment in politics. As everyone knows, she has had dozens of big disappointments since then. The pro-freedom side almost always loses when it comes to elections and votes. Of course, some of us are working to change that. I'm glad that even though Shelly is new to politics and very inexperienced (as she says in the interview), she is learning to take the loses in stride.

On a related note, even though I've been in politics for ten years, most of my freedom related wins have happened since I moved to NH last September.

RP did do better in NH than other places when you consider that all major GOP candidates were in the race in NH, and not in later races. Oh, and Keith is the NH Liberty Activist of the Year, so he can say whatever he wants.

It's true that NH has the first in the nation primary and is the most competitive state when it comes to the presidency. However, even I must admit that I was very happy with how well Ron Paul did in the (sadly at the time, meaningless) PA primary.

Anyway, more to the point, if the amateurs that ran the Ron Paul campaign in NH really thought they were going to win, it shows how off they were. Hopefully all of the Operation Live Free or Die folks are all much less noob now, just like Shelly.

I didn't win NH Liberty Activist of the Year, ok, I did. However, I won that award by the New Hampshire Liberty Alliance. It's not like I was the best activist in NH or anything.

Awesome! I haven't heard about this yet. Mind sharing the story?

[UnReconstructed]

What statement, Keith, is it that you want to call Ian out on?

Oooh, freestater fight. Tell me more!

[Keith and stuff]

Don't get me wrong, I'm Ian's friend. Nevertheless, I don't mind correcting my friends Feel free to correct me if you think that I'm wrong.

Ian claimed during the FTL interview with Shelly that RP did better in the NH primary than any other state primary. I'm pretty sure that the 8% RP got in NH was actually around 3-4th best. It was the best of the early states but RP got a higher percentage of votes in PA and other states.

I organized New Hampshire Liberty Alliance tri-fold handouts (pdf warning) at four freedom rallies in the state and worked a NHLA table at a couple of other events. I reviewed bills for the NHLA and helped decided which bills would go on the NHLA annual report card.

I helped organize the Boston End the Fed Rally.

I was the key person working against the adult seat belt bill which involved organizing dozens of people to contact thousands of people. NH is still the only state without adult seat belt laws. I worked hard for several pro-freedom bills in NH: helped organize rallies, drive people to rallies, testify before committees, call, email and sent post cards state reps and state senators.

I helped on nine state representative campaigns. Four of them were successful and one RP Republican only lost by sixty votes. I donated to the NHLA and a couple NHLA endorsed/ RP supporting candidates.

Then there is all of the national political stuff, online activism and non-political stuff but the NHLA didn't consider that when deciding the Activist of the Year Award.
