A short while ago I heard some loud banging noises downstairs. Not like knocking on the door, more like someone trying to break the door apart.
I grabbed my pistol and went to find out what was going on. What happened next is one thing that sets New Hampshire apart from the rest of the country, and perhaps even the world.
In the front room of the house, I was quite surprised to find that the noise was coming from one of our State Representatives, Joel Winters (D-Manchester).
He was tearing down some drywall to expose a window which had been covered up at some point in the past.
With New Hampshire’s true citizen legislature, much more than in other states, many representatives are truly part of the community. When they aren’t at the State House in Concord, you’ll often find them running their own businesses or volunteering in their communities. So you shouldn’t be surprised if one of them turns up at your house and starts tearing up your walls — at least, if you were expecting someone to come over and tear up your walls.
Like myself, Winters also moved here as part of the Free State Project. But he’s been here for almost three years now. I have no idea how many people’s walls he’s torn up, but I do know he votes on the side of liberty. Even if he does have a Lynch for Governor bumper sticker on his truck. Anyone want to help scrape that thing off?

I love Joel, but didn’t he vote for the raise in minimum wage? Politics isn’t very pleasant. Now I have to wonder if he really believes a raise in the minimum wage is pro-liberty. Or does he want to pick his battles to not lose his democratic constituents? Or did he trade votes with other reps? Damn, I didn’t want to wonder about my friends principles. I couldn’t vote for him as we live in another district, but I held a sign for him many times.

I don’t know offhand. I’ll reserve judgment until I see his NHLA rating. :)

It’s not making any sence to me either.

The article is pretty simple: a guy heard someone tearing up some drywall and it happened to be HIS LEGISLATURE. POINT: legislatures in NH are normal everyday people (b/c they only get paid $100 per year).

After such a build up, I feel bitterly p****d at the turn out of the rest of this foolish-ness…
Waste.
