In 2025, a woman named Shiloh Hendrix was at a playground with her toddler when she caught an older child taking something from her diaper bag. After she called the 8-year-old Somalian boy the “N” word, the boy's father and another man confronted her.

BEDFORD, N.H. — A record 104 New Hampshire legislators earned an A or A+ Liberty Rating in 2026, more than double the previous year’s total, as the New Hampshire Liberty Alliance (NHLA) honored the lawmakers, activists and volunteers behind New Hampshire’s expanding liberty movement at its annual Liberty Dinner on Saturday evening.
Held at Murphy’s Taproom & Carriage House in Bedford, the annual awards gala brought together legislators, activists, volunteers, donors, and supporters from across New Hampshire to recognize outstanding service to the state’s liberty movement.
Rep. Brian Labrie was named the 2026 Legislator of the Year, the organization’s highest legislative honor. The award recognizes a legislator whose voting record, legislative leadership, and broader contribution to advancing liberty stood out during the year.
Jeff Creem received the 2026 Activist of the Year Award, recognizing his commitment, energy, and impact advancing liberty in New Hampshire.
Longtime liberty advocate Dan McGuire received the 2026 Lifetime Achievement Award, honoring his years of sustained service and contribution to the liberty movement.
Diane Pauer received the 2026 Chairman’s Award, a special recognition presented for exceptional contribution to the NHLA and the cause of liberty.
“This year’s award winners demonstrate that protecting liberty takes many forms,” said Shawn Faber. “Some sponsor legislation. Some cast difficult votes. Others research bills, organize volunteers, recruit candidates and build the movement. Tonight we recognize the people whose work helps keep New Hampshire the freest state in America.”
The NHLA also presented a series of special awards recognizing outstanding contributions during the 2025–2026 legislative session:
In addition to the award winners, dozens of legislators were recognized for earning A and A+ Liberty Ratings during the 2025–2026 legislative session.
“The people we honored tonight are proof that liberty is not standing still in New Hampshire; it is growing,” said Pedro Serra, Membership Director of the New Hampshire Liberty Alliance. “Every new member adds weight to that work. It shows legislators, candidates, and the wider public that there is a real constituency behind the cause of liberty in New Hampshire. The growth in this year’s Liberty Ratings shows that momentum is translating into results. Strength in numbers matters.”
That momentum is reflected in this year’s Liberty Rating. Compared with 2025, the number of legislators earning an A or A+ increased by 154 percent, from 41 to 104. The number earning the highest possible A+ rating also rose from 18 to 30. The Liberty Rating is widely used by voters to evaluate how consistently elected officials support individual liberty during each legislative session.
New Hampshire is the freest state in the nation, making the work of its Legislature closely watched by advocates of limited government across the country. The Liberty Rating provides an annual benchmark for measuring how consistently legislators protect and advance those principles.
For more than two decades the New Hampshire Liberty Alliance has monitored legislation and informed citizens about the voting records of state lawmakers. Its volunteer bill reviewers evaluate hundreds of bills each legislative session, producing the weekly Gold Standard and the annual Liberty Rating.

Bitcoin Pizza Day 2025, Keene, NH
Thanks to the Shire Free Church Bitcoin Pizza Day 2025 Keene edition was a roaring success despite the rain and we’re doing it again for 2026! Last year we got our Little Zoe’s Pizza to go with most paying in one form of cryptocurrency or another. Our plans for May 22, 2026 Bitcoin Pizza Day Keene edition will be the same. If it rains the Shire Free Church has agreed to host our backup location at: 73 Leverett Street in Keene, New Hampshire (go around to the back of the building as there is a large room for events).
If the weather is good we’ll be outside Little Zoe’s at their outdoor tables:
Location: 149 Emerald St #5, Keene, NH 03431
Date & Time: Friday, May 22nd, 2026 @ 4:20 PM
Bitcoin Pizza Day, celebrated annually on May 22, commemorates the first real-world commercial transaction using Bitcoin, which occurred on May 22, 2010. Florida programmer Laszlo Hanyecz posted an offer on the Bitcointalk forum to pay 10,000 BTC for two large Papa John’s pizzas, a sum worth only about $41 at the time but valued in the hundreds of millions to billions of dollars today. The order was fulfilled by fellow user Jeremy Sturdivant, who accepted the cryptocurrency payment and delivered the food, marking a pivotal moment that proved Bitcoin could function as a medium of exchange for tangible goods.
Crypto users gathered at Little Zoe’s Pizza in Keene for Bitcoin Pizza Day 2019.
For libertarians this isn’t about “value go up”, like it became for some percentage of those who came later. No, it’s about the principles and morals. It represents and enables: Freedom, control, privacy. The later of which Bitcoin isn’t, but unlike fiat currencies (government money and the associated systems of banking, money transmission, etc) it does retain a pseudonymous property compared to fiat in a bank account in that a user does not need to register their identity to merely utilize it. However it enabled the people to gain real control of the money in their pocket, that is something government couldn’t easily step in and steal, was always just the first step. Later came cryptocurrencies like Monero that added stronger privacy mechanisms.

Libertarian Youth @ Porcfest Checking Out Guns On Display
House Bill 1793, the “Protecting College Students Act,” passed the NH House to allow firearms and non-lethal weapons on public college campuses. Scheduled for a Senate Judiciary Committee hearing on April 14, 2026, the bill prohibits institutions from enforcing gun-free policies, protecting Second Amendment rights against threats like active shooters.
Students opposed to the bill are being “bussed in”. Fortunately other libertarians and students in favor of the bill will also be at the hearing to testify in favor of it. Restoring the gun rights of our young folks is just one of the many freedoms libertarians have been focused on in New Hampshire.
Unlike “adults” students and other young adults are generally disenfranchised from advocating for their own rights under our current system. They’re inhibited or prohibited from getting drivers licenses, employment, and similar.
Without the assistance of adults many college students can’t get to a state house hearing to testify on this bill who’d otherwise support it. Unfortunately “adults” with more fiscal resources are enabling those opposing the bill to attend that it would otherwise be difficult or impossible for them to testify against.
The wonderful thing about New Hampshire is that there are an increasing number of doers advocating for freedom thanks to the Free State Project’s migration of like-minded liberty conscious folks from around the world.
Whether this bill passes or not is less relevant to our overall long term success, but it none-the-less very well may soon be another check on tyrannical government that has infected every government on earth.
For those interested in attending the hearing:
It’s being held in Room 100 @ 01:45 pm on Tuesday April 14th.
Address: 107 N Main Street, Concord, NH 03303.

The powers that be want to ban cryptocurrencies and they’re doing it via fear mongaring and AARP at the state level now; that effort has hit New Hampshire
The powers that be have failed to kill cryptocurrencies at the federal level, but are now targeting state legislators and getting bills passed in many states that effectivity makes Bitcoin and other cryptos more difficult to utilize than cash and other mechanisms of transferring value (ie credit cards, wire transfers, etc).
They’re utilizing fear mongering around 3td party fraud with the help of AARP’s large membership. With enough ignorant people testifying they manage to get these bills passed despite that these bills don’t stop or even inhibit scams and frauds. They do on the other hand make cryptocurrencies all the more difficult to get and utilize for EVERYONE else.
The bill doesn’t do anything to stop scammers from utilizing mules (a common method), the mail (mailing cash), using gift cards (another common means of getting cash out of older folks), using PayPal/Venmo/and similar, nor other means (like having old people wire money to a mule’s bank account and forwarding it onward).
What is happening here are the powers that be are utilizing the same methods as scammers, but this time to exploit old people into making them believe crypto is the devil. They then put forward bills that regulate Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies in the extreme and for all intensive purposes ban Bitcoin sales in practice via vending machines. The senate hearing was packed with old people from AARP and it disturbingly passed the senate.
Help save cryptocurrency in New Hampshire!
The address for the house version of the bill is Tuesday April 7th at: 1 Granite Place, Concord, NH 03301.
The hearing is on house bill SB482. “Granite Place” Room 159.
This bill will mandate full KYC for cryptocurrency vending machines, put a $2000 per day limit on purchases, put a 14 day hold on your funds, and make vending operators liable for 3rd party scams if users send their crypto to scammers. It will also mandate chainalysis.
This effectively bans the sale of cryptocurrency through vending machines as it’s economically infeasible to ensure little old ladies buying crypto don’t send their crypto off to scammers after acquisition. If even a small percentage of users did so it would completely eliminate the margins on selling and therefore WILL put every vending machine operator out of business in New Hampshire.
The scary thing is this already passed the senate.
It’s extraordinarily important that everyone who cares about financial freedom show up to the hearing and testify against this bill on Tuesday. Testifying against the bill is easy. You just sign up when you get there and tell the reps why you think this bill should not be passed.
Of the 57 hearings in the House, we are recommending support of 13 and opposition of 6 with 6 being of interest.
Of the 53 hearings in the Senate, we are recommending support of 7 and opposition of 5 with 3 being of interest.
