Gun Raffle Tickets

Tickets are only $20 each and you don’t need to be present at the dinner to win. Contact treasurer@nhliberty.org to make arrangements.

Read the bills? Now write one!

As the bill review season comes to an end, there’s no doubt that in the process you’ve encountered some section of our statutes that urgently cries out for change or deletion. Now is the time to start drafting legislation for next year. The NHLA will be evaluating proposed legislation on August 1 at 1:00 pm at Murphy’s Taproom in Manchester. Bring your suggestions! The more details you can provide, the better.

Anyone can suggest a bill, and most legislators are willing to sponsor a bill for a constituent or a friend. However, if you are interested in actually getting a bill passed, more work on your part will improve the odds. The more carefully your bill is drafted, the more thoroughly you have checked other related statutes for conflicts, the better the bill topic aligns with the sponsor’s interests, the greater the chance it will go forward. If you need help getting started, or in identifying and contacting a sponsor, any member of the board will be glad to help.

NHLA on Capitol Access

Board members Mark Warden (vice chair) and Paul Comeau (secretary) joined hosts Denis Goddard and Lydia Harman for a casual conversation on the Concord’s Capitol Access TV show regarding the NHLA activism during this year’s legislative session. The 30-minute program was aired during the week of June 21 to over 100,000 viewers across southern New Hampshire. To watch the episode (#73) online, visit www.nhcaptv.com.

NHLA Annual Meeting

We will be holding our Annual Meeting on August 16 at 3:00 pm in Epsom. All members are welcome. Meet the board, bring your ideas on how you can help protect and advance liberty in N.H., and give us feedback on important issues of the day. Email chair@nhliberty.org for location. When we’re done with the “meeting,” plan on staying for a potluck BBQ.
