Philosophy of Liberty DVD for NH Legislators

UPDATE: The ChipIn was a success! The DVD is with the replication service right now. We'll be distributing them to every State Rep, Senator, Exec Councilor, and the Governor, starting next week! If you'd like to help, check for postings on the NHLA Calendar

What is the greatest obstacle to getting people to truly agree with the pro-liberty message? Simple -- it is getting them to understand that Government is force. As George Washington put it, "Government is not reason, it is not eloquence, it is force; like fire, a troublesome servant and a fearful master."

One someone understands this about Government, they have begun the slow process of discovering Liberty.

The NH House and Senate are about to come into session. Many of the legislators will be first-term newbies. Many more -- the vast majority -- have never come across the message of freedom and liberty in a clear, digestible format.

We have a golden opportunity now. For the first time, we have multiple, libertarian Free-Staters elected to both major parties and sitting on multiple House committees. These people will be making our message known to the other legislators. But, as with any advertisement, that message needs to come from multiple different channels and to be presented in a variety of media to be an effective "sale"

The Philosophy of Liberty animation is a perfect way to get across our pro-Liberty message. It's short, it's simple, and it's entertaining. It's also something that Democrats and Republicans alike can find "hooks" to agree with. Each disc will be hand-delivered to each Legislator's seat in committee, along with the attached cover letter.

This is a brand-new experiment. The animation has been around for years, but to the best of my knowledge, never before in history has an entire legislative body been exposed to the message in this form. At least among Libertarian circles, this is quite a newsworthy event -- just the kind of thing that makes the FSP unique!

This legislative session, any time you contact a State Rep -- whether to talk about marijuana policy reform, education, gun rights, or mandatory seat-belts -- you will know for sure they have a copy of this video. You don't have to start from "Square One"; you can refer back to this video. When you call them, it will not be the first time they have heard that "government is force" -- not even the second time.

I do not believe that simply getting these DVDs into the hands of the legislature will suddenly turn New Hampshire into a truly Free State. I do believe, however, that a few bucks from you could bring about a powerful political experiment that has never before been tried in the history of the United States.

Please, if you value the effort I have put forth over the past few years, take a moment now to chip in and help me in this one.

Thank you.
