JeffNH: Add NHLA link. Add question about parents bill of rights with positive rights

This is a page for tracking bills that are potential wins for liberty. There is no guarantee that any of this information is up-to-date or accurate. Your mileage may vary. The best thing to do of course is to join the [https://nhliberty.org/join NH Liberty Alliance] and get access to the bill review system. Remember of course that bill reviews are the opinion of the reviewers - not the organization. Until a position is published in the Gold Standard, its just other activists taking positions and not the position of the org.

If you want a list of bills that would be nice to kill, see [[Bills to Kill]].
