Does New Hampshire Need the Threat of Death? @NHLF14
HB1170, a bill to repeal the crime of capital murder in New Hampshire will be one of the most controversial issues the legislature takes up this year. Support and opposition to this bill seems to fall outside traditional party lines and libertarians in the state house are far from unanimous on this issue. In 2000 the republican house and senate voted to repeal the death penalty but the democratic governor vetoed it. More recently in 2011 a republican legislature and democratic governor passed a bill expanding the use of the death penalty to include burglary.
New Hampshire has executed 24 people since 1738 a time when a capital crime under the laws of the Province of New Hampshire included rape, homosexual acts, abortion, and bestiality. Today capital crimes are limited to knowingly causing the death of another in seven circumstances, including the death of law enforcement officers and judges. Convicted of the 2006 murder of police officer Michael Briggs in Manchester, Michael Addison has been sentenced to death. Addison is the only inmate on death row in New Hampshire which hasn't executed anyone since 1939, dismantled it's gallows in 1992 and has no execution chamber.
Each panelist will have an opportunity to respond to opposing viewpoints presented by the moderator and each other. The panelists have a range of opinions on the issue and each come from a different background. Renny Cushing is the prime sponsor of HB1170 and is leading the current repeal effort in the state house. Renny's father was murdered in 1988 and his tragic experience has informed his views on the relavancy of the penalty. Richard O'Leary's law enforcement background as Deputy Chief of the Manchester Police Department could provide insight into case of Michael Addison. Devon Chaffee of the NHCLU can offer perspective on law regarding capital punishment and how it use varies among the states. Libertarian legislators Mark Warden, Joel Winters, and Keith Murphy make up the rest of the panel each with a different stance on the death penalty. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eH6D7KhOU18

The roots of feminism are essentially collectivist. From the Declaration of Sentiments of Seneca Falls, published the same year as the Communist Manifesto, the language and philosophical framework of feminism is identical to that of marxism repurposed. It is a model of class struggle which casts men as the bourgeoisie and women as the proletariat, a social dynamic Karl Marx insisted must be internalized by women if women were to be convinced to participate in any communist revolution. This model lingers today in modern feminism and in mainstream society, despite a mountain of evidence that gender relations simply do not work this way.

Gender discrimination has been a fixture in our history from suffrage through to equal pay and other rights under the law. Historically equality movements like feminism have had a hugely important role in achieving equality but many people believe modern third wave feminism focuses on gender exceptionalism rather than egalitarianism. Additionally policies typically suggested by modern feminism aim to use government force to correct the remaining problems they perceive within society.
This panel examines the role feminism currently has in society and asks if it is necessary to support egalitarian objectives or if it has just become another adjunct for statists to advance their goals.

101 Reasons to Move to New Hampshire for Liberty: http://freestateproject.org/101Reasons
The Free State Project is an effort to recruit 20,000 liberty-loving people to move to New Hampshire. We are looking for neighborly, productive, tolerant folks from all walks of life, of all ages, creeds, and colors who agree to the political philosophy expressed in our Statement of Intent, that government exists at most to protect people's rights, and should neither provide for people nor punish them for activities that interfere with no one else.
