Young Libertarian Lady, Heather Mullins Makes Splash in NH Media - VIDEO
Hey Steemers, perhaps you've heard about the libertarian migration to New Hampshire? Here's what happened to new mover Heather Mullins when she testified at some hearings at the state house in the past couple of weeks. It shows how easy it is to be a big fish in the small pool of NH activism. Just show up and speak out!
Two weeks ago, on her first visit to the state house, she testified on a hemp bill and immediately got a job offer as a paid lobbyist. Last week she attended the state house hearings to expand access to medical cannabis and testified in favor of the legislation, attracting attention of NH media including the Union Leader newspaper and WMUR-TV.
Heather knocks it out of the park with her comment appearing at the end of the Union Leader piece:
Marijuana saved my dad. He would not be here today if not for it,” she said. “He has PTSD and chronic pain that the VA tried unsuccessfully to treat or years. Who are we to deny my father who served this country for 30 years access to the medication he needs? The data is out there that this stuff works. To deny people access is criminal in my eyes.
You can listen to Heather, every Thursday night on Free Talk Live, 7-10pm Eastern.

I sure do miss the Yankee spirit. Can Do. WIll Do. Is Done.
NH was always a bastion of libertarianism when I was young (back when dinosaurs roamed the earth) Then the liberals from Mass who didn't want to fund the programs they voted in started emigrating North to avoid property taxes. Nice to see NH returning to it's roots! Bill Loeb once picked me up hitchhiking when I was in uniform.
