Last weekend on Saturday, February 20th, 2010, I had the privilege of attending an event in Jaffrey, New Hampshire. I met NH gubernatorial candidate Jack Kimball and US congressional candidate Jennifer Horn at Grand View Inn, a historic lodge where voters came to discuss the important issues affecting the state and our country.
It was worth the drive up from Maryland and was quite pleased with turnout as I was able to connect with a few Facebook friends. I had a chance to talk briefly with Jack Kimball and Jennifer Horn, both expressing many concerns shared among many voters all across the Granite State. When it comes to jobs, state growth, taxes, personal liberty, second amendment gun rights, national security, and other important issues, New Hampshire residents are fed up with the direction leaders are taking the state.

Solutions are reflected with a common-sense approach and need to be tackled one challenge at a time. Some of what was discussed: auditing and ending of the Fed, U.S. term-limits, hidden taxes affecting businesses, residential land ownership, the LLC business tax that was rushed to pass before residents could respond, protecting the environment through limited regulation,…

There is deep outrage among voters, continually being lied to for political gain and power. Both Jennifer Horn and Jack Kimball expressed that integrity is something they value and in order for us to move forward we must return to an open and honest debate. Sure for many, we have heard the same tune but something has to change. The issues are too huge to be pushed aside. Future generations will suffer dearly if we do not get a handle on our financial crisis.
It’s time for New Hampshire free-staters to stand up and defend liberty. The common message among voters – Republicans, Libertarians, Independents, Conservatives and even some moderate Democrats are elements of commonsense free-market solutions of fiscal responsibility and personal liberty. Holding those in power accountable and fixing the nation’s debt problem seems to be the front issue.
I left the event feeling thrilled at the excitement and honored to have had an opportunity to chat briefly with Jack and Jennifer who are not politicians but average everyday Americans looking to help make a positive difference. Their appeal is refreshing and having business background truly does help when it comes to understanding what it takes to run a job efficiently. I stand firmly with them in support and look forward to future events.
