New Hampshire Family Photo

NH Family Photo

I know roughly 50% of the people in this photo well – yet I would trust my life with all of them.  To be honest, I would trust the lives of my children with them too.


I feel comfortable saying this because everyone in this photo had the burning need to take time out of their precious weekend to be part of New Hampshire’s annual “Day of Resistance 223” rally at the State House in Concord.  All came out on a cold, raw Sunday in February to express their passion for liberty and individual sovereignty, as free New Hampshire citizens, particularly regarding their natural right to bear arms in order to protect their lives, family, and property.

Continually, Liberals in the New Hampshire Legislature plot to restrict these liberties in the name of “reasonability” and “common sense”.  But we know that their motives are anything but pure and that they have little sense for what the Second Amendment means, why it was codified into the US and NH Constitutions, or what we are willing to do to prevent it from being further infringed.  We know that they push, in pathological fashion, towards complete State control over every aspect of our lives – but they face a determined roadblock in us.

Combined with the New Hampshire Liberty Forum held in Nashua, the voices of freedom and liberty were alive and well in New Hampshire this weekend.

It is widely known that about 3% of the population of colonial America took an active part in fighting for this nation’s independence.  While this photo does not represent that number (which would be about 31,000 New Hampshire residents), the men and women shown here, along with the Liberty Forum attendees, represent the Vanguard of that very real III%, forming the core group of those who would actively fight to defend our liberties at the drop of a hat.  I am proud to have been there today, standing shoulder-to-shoulder with these fine New Hampshire Patriots.

We took this photo to show the people who were elected to temporarily represent us, that, even though they were not in session on this Sunday, WE WERE HERE and that we are watching them, very, very carefully as they incrementally approach the line.  They were entrusted by our votes, and compelled by their oaths, to make laws that preserve and defend our Liberties, not to whittle them away.

One way or the other, this tide will turn.
