New Hampshire Liberty Alliance
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The New Hampshire Liberty Alliance (NHLA) is a New Hampshire non-partisan coalition whose goal is to increase individual freedom. The organization encourages private charity, a civil society, and citizen involvement in government, and they do so by supporting pro-liberty candidates for state and local offices, and other pro-liberty causes and organizations.

The NHLA sponsors a website, GeneralCourt.Org, that tracks the status of bills in the New Hampshire legislature. NHLA volunteers testify at the legislature on bills of interest to them. Dan Itse, a state representative from Rockingham County, is currently Director of Political Action.
