Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of New Hampshire

Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of New Hampshire follows a libertarian political migration known as the Free State Project. Twenty years ago, one man penned a manifesto encouraging 20,000 libertarians to sign a pledge and move to the Granite State for more freedom. Now “The Free State Project” is shaking up politics and communities in New Hampshire and growing in strength and numbers.
