This is the twelfth annual Liberty Rating issued by the New HampshireLiberty Alliance, based on 50 roll call votes in the House and 22 in theSenate. This year the House earned a collective grade of C and theSenate a C+. Individual grades for each representative and senatorare based on pro-liberty or anti-liberty roll call votes on bills that havebeen included in our Gold Standard liberty voting guides distributed toSenators and Representatives each session day. The Legislator of theYear is awarded to the individual with the highest score calculated fromthese votes.
Pro-liberty votes protect individual freedom of choice and personalresponsibility; recognize the superiority of freedom over coercion;respect the citizen’s right of self-ownership; promote governance thatis transparent, accountable, and adheres to the Constitution; andrecognize the value of voluntary economic decisions.
Anti-liberty votes replace self-governance with interventionist regulation;assume rules made by agencies backed by force are superior tovoluntary choices backed by personal accountability; and assume abetter economy can be managed by a central authority that compelspeople and businesses to pay for policies they may not willinglysupport.
The Liberty Rating is the result of hundreds of hours of work by manyvolunteers who have read and analyzed bills, testified beforecommittees, called and written their representatives, worked on ourother signature publication, the Gold Standard, and culled extensivedata from legislative voting records.
We encourage New Hampshire citizens to learn the facts about howtheir elected representatives are voting in Concord and to use this toolto hold them accountable. This report card serves as a valuable voterguide when these same representatives are running for re-election.

During the 2011/2012 housesession, he served as Chairman of the Committee on ConstitutionalReview and Statutory Recodification.

He has been an advocate for JuryNullification and has introduced many bills defending State's rights and thetenth amendment. Furthermore, Representative Itse has been a memberof the NHLA's 5 year honor roll every year since it was begun in 2010,showing his outstanding commitment to liberty in New Hampshire’slegislature.
Rep. Itse served a two year term as the NHLA's political director, in 2007-2008 and continues to contribute to the Gold Standard. He also directed the NHLA's State House tour during this year's New Hampshire Liberty Forum.

Activist of the Year
Bill Alleman was born in Massachusetts, at an undisclosed date and time. In 1983, he moved to California, and in 1988 to New Hampshire, where he has remained. Bill is the guiding force behind the group Free Weare, and for many years was the videographer for Capitol Access, a current events show about NH politics.
On February 22nd, 2011, on his way home from a protest supporting a local restaurant owner against the Weare Police Department, Bill was pulled over. He informed the officer that he was recording the interaction. The officer responded with a "that's fine", but later Bill was charged with felony wiretapping inState of NH vs Bill Alleman. The case resulted in a ringing victory for freedom in New Hampshire. Bill won the case and proceeded to sue the town for violating his rights under the Constitution. His case became a precedent and rallying point for freedom of the press.
For many years, Bill has recorded hearings in the New HampshireHouse and Senate at his own expense. Often, winners of the Activistof the Year award are celebrated for their work on a single issue. Thisaward celebrates a great work spread over time, spent largely behindthe camera instead of in front of it.
Bill Alleman is also the author of the blog, "Adventures in the FreeState, which can be found here: http://bikerbillnh.blogspot.com/
