Free Talk Live Interviews Shelly Roche Tonight

Oh, well, he may have said that. I didn't listen to that show. So I have no comment other than I agree with you, I think Paul did do better in other states than NH. That doesn't mean anything to me though. The people of the FSP are actually doing something there... running candidates, imo, is pointless.

People can do what they want though so don't any politicos jump in my shit.

Pointless in what regard? I would agree that federal politics is a sinking ship (though I will support Rand and Schiff if only in order to help further spread the message, and at best to have a voice of reason in the Senate.)

However, at least on the state level, running candidates in New Hampshire is quite fruitful! "On average, each [NH] legislator represents about 3,000 residents. If the same level of representation were present in the U.S. Congress, that body would have approximately 99,000 members, according to current population estimates." (Wikipedia) So it's much easier for a candidate to meet most, if not all, of their electors (and win!)

We've already elected 6 Free Staters to the New Hampshire House of Representatives, and dozens of others have been voted into local offices around the state. An organization, the NH Liberty Alliance, reviews every single bill that comes before both Houses, organizes rallies and speakers supporting/opposing major bills, and grades each legislator in a yearly report card based on their pro-/anti-liberty votes. I'd say that's pretty effective, given that I'd hear about threats to my liberty by my old state legislature only after they were passed.

If you're an out-of-the-system activist, that's great: I want more acts of civil disobedience! Just pointing out though, that if one chooses the politico route here, I'd say it's far from 'pointless.'

At the end of last night's show, Ian teased that Ron Paul may be on tonight's (Saturday's) Free Talk Live show at 8:30 pm.

Listen live and call in if you want, http://freetalklive.com/

I just heard that Ron Paul may be on at 7 pm instead. Sorry, I'm not sure either way. Don't worry though. If you miss the interview, you can always download the podcast. Otherwise, the link to the interview should be on the FTL website for a while.

I'll be listening!

One can also watch & listen to their live studio cam (w/ chatroom): http://cam.freetalklive.com/

Pointless in that the very first day on the job these people violate liberty... swearing an oath to the federal constitution or even a state constitution is a violation of liberty. Having a "representative" at any level is a violation of self ownership.

I agree, but listen to Free Talk Live for the goods. Trust in FTL, they have an anarchist and a minarchist in the host box. They will explain everything in time.
