As a Free State Project participant who moved from California five years ago, I’m tired of seeing these attacks on people who want to make our society a freer place.
Participants are not trying to “take over” (loaded phrase) the state’s government. They are gathering in a small state so their political beliefs are not drowned out, as mine were. I’ve enjoyed life in New Hampshire, but where government is concerned, I’m scared to death of what’s been proposed and passed by the House of Representatives this year: raising taxes, chipping away at gun (and other property) rights, insistence on government schooling, etc.
The one sentence I’ve found espousing positions of Kathleen Martins, endorsed by Virginia Kozlowski (Monitor letters, Feb. 27) in a letter in this publication, suggests that she will fall in lockstep with that agenda if elected.
Regarding Elliot Axelman: I went to libertyblock.com as the previous letter suggested and saw nothing about forcing people to own guns or quashing free speech. Nothing of the kind appears on his current campaign website.
I hope Hooksett voters want to stop the madness and vote for Axelman.
