CARDELLO: It is Not Weaponization, It is Respecting the Law

Granite Grok - 2 hours 31 min ago

The Department of Homeland Security executed a federal judge-approved search warrant at Congresswoman Ilhan Omar’s (D-MN) Washington, D.C., residence. This action triggered the Democrats and brought out the typical vocabulary of weaponization and election manipulation, one, of course, racism. For Democrats, it is not the crime; it is the color of the accused and the ... Read more

Quantum mechanics has a reputation for being random. Dice rolls at the heart of reality, God playing games, and so on. But the full story is stranger: for most of its life, a quantum system is not random at all. The randomness shows up only at one particular moment. The old dream of a predictable ... Read more

If you were even the slightest bit excited about the charges brought against President Trump and not Ilhan Omar, then you’re not interested in justice, just revenge. And while it might be fair to say that it works both ways, the financial crimes Trump was charged with had no victims, while Omar’s victims are you ... Read more

This isn’t a conspiracy. Facts don’t lie. On 8 September, during the primary, a Nashua Ward 9 moderator held a radio-frequency meter next to an ImageCast voting machine. The meter detects cellular, Wi-Fi, and radio activity. The radio number registered. The electric and magnetic rows stayed at zero, so it was not a motor despite ... Read more

FOX News celebrated its 30th anniversary. That is quite a milestone for this much-maligned news organization. There are many reasons for this angst, or maybe it is jealousy, because this network is consistently on top of the monthly ratings, and it exposes the liberal bias of every other left-leaning network.

Media Release: NH Liberty Alliance Announces 143 Endorsements, Reaffirms Organizational Independence

N.H. Liberty Alliance - Tue, 2026-10-13 20:33 +0000

As the November 3 election approaches, NHLA addresses claims about its endorsements and highlights the legislative records behind its candidate evaluations.

CONCORD, N.H. The New Hampshire Liberty Alliance (NHLA) has announced 143 endorsements for the November 3 General Election, including 139 House candidates and four Senate candidates across all ten New Hampshire counties. The organization is also addressing claims about the independence of its candidate evaluations.

At the heart of NHLA’s work are questions that affect everyday life: how much of their earnings residents keep, the control they have over their property, and the freedom to make decisions for themselves and their families.

As New Hampshire prepares to elect its next Legislature, NHLA’s evaluations examine candidates’ positions and voting records on issues including taxation, government spending, property rights, regulatory reform, healthcare choice and parental rights.

NHLA Reaffirms Its Independence

NHLA is challenging descriptions of its endorsements as Free State Project endorsements or as evidence that candidates are “Free State aligned.” The organization maintains that its leadership, legislative ratings and endorsement decisions are determined independently.

NHLA Chairman Shawn Faber addressed those claims directly:

“In this election cycle, a far-left conspiracy group, along with other members of the New Hampshire Democratic Party, have purposely misconstrued the New Hampshire Liberty Alliance endorsements as being endorsed by the Free State Project or even the incorrect ‘Free State aligned.’ To simply state that a good grade by NHLA (or being on the board of NHLA) equals being a Free Stater is lazy, disingenuous and a purposeful misrepresentation of the facts.

“The New Hampshire Liberty Alliance is a completely separate organization. We were founded in November of 2003 by native Granite Staters before Free Staters even lived here. Our grades are based on our board’s work, not on any contributions, suggestions, orders, communications or any interaction with the Free State Project. In fact, our endorsements are based on our grades and other criteria, again with no influence, contributions, suggestions, orders, communications or any interaction with the Free State Project.

“We are a completely separate, independent organization. Our board members are chosen independently, without any contributions, suggestions, orders, communications or any interaction with the Free State Project. To suggest we are the ‘political arm’ of the Free State Project is complete misinformation designed to apply an incorrect label to our almost 150 endorsements to directly benefit the Democratic Party in the November elections.”

Legislative Records Behind the Endorsements

NHLA’s endorsements are based on candidates’ legislative voting records, policy positions and alignment with the organization’s principles of individual liberty and limited government.

The organization’s annual Liberty Rating allows voters to examine how current legislators have voted on bills evaluated against those principles. Candidates without legislative voting records are assessed through detailed questionnaires about their policy positions.

For NHLA, the focus remains on how candidates will represent New Hampshire residents once elected, and whether their legislative decisions reflect the principles on which they campaigned.

“Decisions made in Concord affect how much money people keep, what they can do with their property, and the choices they can make for their families,” said Rep. Henry Giasson, NHLA Political Director. “Campaign promises matter, but legislative votes tell the real story. We want people to know where their representatives stand and hold them accountable for the decisions they make.”

Every Vote Counts

Midterm elections traditionally attract fewer voters than presidential elections, despite determining who will represent New Hampshire residents in the Legislature. NHLA encourages all eligible voters to participate in the November 3 election, including those in districts without an NHLA-endorsed candidate.

Voters will also have an opportunity to consider the school district tax-cap question on their local ballots. Every vote counts.

NHLA focuses its endorsements on New Hampshire state-level offices and does not endorse candidates for federal office.

The complete list of 143 endorsed candidates, including their districts and offices, is available on NHLA’s website.
