  • The Koch's Criminal Justice Hypocrisy in New Hampshire
    CCWWTT::^^RRWW11aa^^ccWWTTaabb´´ 666AAA000===888CCC444 BBBCCC000CCC444 ???AAA>>>999444222CCC 77^^ffccWWTTAAPPSSXXRRPP[[00VVTT]]SSPP^^UU >dc^UBcPcT1XV>X[1X[[X^]PXaTb 77PPbb77ddaacc==TTff77PP\\__bbWWXXaaTT 1 Charles and David Koch pour hundreds of millions of dollars into our political system to advance their self-enriching agenda and elect their puppet candidates. At the state and national level, the Kochs use their unlimited resources to influence policy to suit their political and personal needs while hurting middle class and working families. The policies they favor include cutting taxes for corporations and the wealthy; reducing and eliminating regulations to protect workers, consumers, and the environment; privatizing and cutting both Social Security and Medicare; and cutting other programs, including Pell Grants for college. For decades, the Kochs and their network of dark money political front groups have been pushing the Koch agenda in New Hampshire — perhaps more than any other state in the country — which has benefitted billionaires like the Kochs at the expense of Granite Staters. In 2016, New Hampshire will continue to be on center stage in American politics with the First In The Nation primary, a top- tier Senate race, marquee Congressional contests, an open governor’s mansion, and a number of hot button issues in the limelight. At the same time, the Koch network has promised to spend nearly $900 million to buy elections for candidates who will do their bidding for them. The Kochs themselves admit they “expect something in return” for the millions they spend propping up their candidates, but for candidates, backing from the Kochs comes with a high price tag.

Jack Schneider And I’m Jack Schneider. Berkshire And Jack, this episode features a trip down the rabbit hole. Schneider I feel like that's every episode. Berkshire No, actually, you don't even know rabbit hole until you've joined me for this episode. Schneider Okay. Well, here I am. I've joined you. Berkshire So the idea for this episode actually came from a book talk that you and I did in New Hampshire. And somebody who participated in that, he described a situation where things in his town were kind of unpleasant. And he asked a question just about, you know, like, did we have any tips about how to, you know, make the discourse in a community more positive around the schools? And I think we answered in kind of a generic way. We mentioned some conversations we've been having with other groups around the country. And then he and I started corresponding and I realized, wow, he's not just talking about like ordinary levels of acrimony. There is something really weird going on and I need to know more about it. And so that's where we're headed. Berkshire We’re going to Sunapee, New Hampshire. Are you ready? Schneider I'm ready. Let's do it.

  • Libertarians Seek a Place in the New Hampshire Sun Page 1 of 5
    Libertarians seek a place in the New Hampshire sun Page 1 of 5 Libertarians seek a place in the New Hampshire sun By ADAM GELLER The Associated Press Saturday, July 25, 2009 3:34 PM LANCASTER, N.H. -- He fled the "People's Republic of Massachusetts" to escape tyranny. Now he strides the campground in a plaid kilt and mirror shades, an AR-15 semiautomatic rifle across his torso, an immense Scottish sword sheathed between his shoulders. Out here, though, the only signs of danger are the ones warning drivers to watch out for moose. Could it be he senses a threat we're not seeing? "Not expecting," says the swordsman, who calls himself Doobie, grinning broadly. "Just ready." There's no escaping the long arm of big government - even here at the far edge of a state whose license plate decrees that without freedom from oppressive authority you might as well choose death. But for Doobie and 500 others, this tent colony on this particular weekend is about as close to Libertarian Nirvana as they're likely to get. They've come for the Porcupine Freedom Festival, four days of beer, burgers and bonfires. But more importantly, they are here to carve out an enclave of less government and more liberty to do as they wish. They are here to show a lost nation the way back to its political roots. It hasn't been an easy message to sell these past few years. Their group, the Free State Project, has struggled to attract followers. But now, with Americans thinking anew about the reach and role of government, Free Staters see at least the hint of an opening.
