Spent some time seeing Portsmouth from the water. History, working waterfront, beautiful buildings and a pretty spectacular stretch of the New Hampshire coast. Another thing to love about the Granite State

1/ Sept. 27 - Born on this day 1722: Samuel Adams Long before independence, Adams was already organizing resistance to British overreach. He understood that liberty needed more than good ideas. It needed people willing to act.

2/ Adams helped build the Committees of Correspondence, creating a network that spread information and coordinated resistance across Massachusetts and beyond. When Britain tightened control, the colonies got better at organizing against it.

In 1773, Adams chaired the Boston meeting that confronted the tea crisis. When the ships were not turned back, the Boston Tea Party followed. After Britain retaliated with the Coercive Acts, Adams helped rally support across the colonies. Liberty movements need ideas. They also need organizers.

Sept. 25: On this day in 1789, Congress sent 12 proposed amendments to the states, ten became the Bill of Rights. Unlike 99% of laws today, these do not restrict the people, they restrict the government! Here’s what they guarantee 👇

1. Speech, religion, press, assembly 2. Bear arms 3. No forced quartering 4. Protection from unreasonable searches 5. Due process 6. Fair criminal trial 7. Civil jury trial 8. No cruel punishment/excessive fines 9. Unenumerated rights 10. Powers reserved to states & people These are still worth defending!

1889: electricity is an “unrestrained demon” that will kill people in the streets. 2026: AI and data centers will do the same. Imagine life without electricity. Future humans will regard today’s panic the way we regard whoever drew this.

It’s long overdue New Hampshire pass a property tax cap
NH is one of only seven states without a law limiting property taxes.

New Hampshire really does have a bit of everything. Mountains one Sunday. Seacoast the next. This state is hard to beat.

Sept 17: On this day in 1787, George Washington became the first to sign the U.S. Constitution. NH’s John Langdon and Nicholas Gilman signed it too. Limited government. Individual liberty. A new American framework.

On this day: Sept 17 1787, the U.S. Constitution was signed in Philadelphia. The document created a new federal government, and more importantly, set limits on its power. 239 years later, those limits still matter.

1/ On this day: Sept 16, 1774 New Hampshire readers were watching a country edge toward revolution. That day’s New-Hampshire Gazette survives in the Library of Congress 🧵

2/ For much of the Revolutionary era, the New-Hampshire Gazette was the colony’s only newspaper. In this issue, readers got updates from Philadelphia, Boston, Salem, Hartford, Newport and elsewhere as the First Continental Congress met and resistance to British rule spread.

3/ Portsmouth merchants were resisting British tea, Boston was under pressure from the Coercive Acts, and the paper warned that future “Enemies of America” might not be treated so gently. The Revolution had not begun yet. But you can feel it coming. “There are now the most interesting Matters depending that ever were in this Country.” Read the Sept. 16, 1774 New-Hampshire Gazette: adverts250project.org/2024/0…

We all need to be talking to people. Every day, for the next 49 days.

1/2 Friday a Merrimack County judge heard the lawsuit aimed at pulling the school tax-cap question off the November ballot. HB 1300 does not impose a cap. It asks voters in every town and ward whether they want one. That question should stay with the people who pay the levy.
