Watched Bills

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 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.
