99% of the population is unaware of what a “True” First Amendment Rally is or that it is the hardest type of event to organize requiring hundreds of volunteer hours all year. Recruiting volunteers to assist the weekend of the rally is very difficult, so, if your available please register to volunteer. The many costs over the items and features donated,(approx. $40,000), to put on the event that require cash payment, (approx.$10,000), are paid out of very few of ours blue collar pockets to keep the rally all free & true first amendment. Donations made by participants, campers or vendors at the Rally on the week end of the event will be greatly appreciated. Please make donation at the Rally to assure the legacy of The Annual NH Live Free Or Die Rally lives on.

State Live Free Or Die Rally is a non partisan, non aligned,non profit, all free true First Amendment event advocating freedom of speech and providing opportunity for the public, appropriate advocacy groups, legislators, politicians of all parties to come together on Common ground once a year to discuss, share or review controversial topics. This event is still in its infancy being the only one of its type. It is the most difficult to almost impossible to organize where it relies on recruiting volunteers and donation pledges to keep event all free. Advocacy groups united on common ground and causes are the only real chance for reforms this event initiates. Please participate & help it grow.
1) Discrimination displayed at any level, verbally, in literature, through music, provacation, between participants, organizations, the races, or political parties will be considered stepping out of the bounds of peaceful and orderly conduct protected by the First Amendment of the U.S. Constitution. Such rancor also defiles the events purpose and is not welcomed.
2) Organizations, Legislators, or anyone whom would like to speak on any topic are requested to schedule a time slot in advance no later than 90 days prior to the event. Each speaker allocated 15 minutes.
3) Event is non-partisan. Anyone scheduled to speak at the podium is asked to speak on a topic or issue, not promote their particular organization,agenda or candidacy. They are welcome to promote their agenda, have a booth, or campaign with participants at rally.
4) All contributions are welcomed by anyone, businesses, organizations, through items, cash donations, features all for the support of the event as a whole. No contributions will be accepted for influence in the support or opposition of any particular topic, party, organization, business, or otherwise. All contributions are not tax deductible.
5) No single Organization, group, participant, organizer or party has claim to being sole host, sponsor or endorser of event for their own promotions or agenda. The Live Free Or Die Celebration is a sole entity in N.H. supported equally by all.

Waxman Markey Cap and Trade’s Biggest Losers: Wood Products
One of the advantages of The Heritage Foundation’s economic analysis of the Waxman-Markey climate change bill is we can determine out who loses most of all the losers. We’ve detailed the negative impacts cap and trade would have on farmers, manufacturers and construction workers. This time, it’s the wood product industry.
Wood products encompasses everything from logging, sawmills and planning mills, manufacturing veneer and plywood, treating wood products, building wood and mobile homes, building wood containers and pallets, etc. Simply put, it’s everything dealing with wood, and Waxman-Markey hits the industry hard. Wood product employment falls by over 23,000 on average (2012-2035) due to Waxman-Markey climate change legislation. By 2035, cap and trade would reduce the industry by 68,573 people.
The industry is already struggling: “Booming timber towns with three-shift lumber mills are a distant memory in the densely forested Northwest. Now, with the housing market and the economy in crisis, some rural areas have never been more raw. Mills keep closing. People keep leaving. Unemployment in some counties is near 20 percent.”
Allegedly, the forestry industry could collect paychecks from the carbon offset program. If a company believes it’s cheaper not to reduce its carbon footprint, it can pay someone else to do so. For instance, a company could pay a logger not to cut down trees, or they could pay someone to grow trees, since trees absorb carbon. The problem is, it’s highly susceptible to fraud and corruption. This has been most evidenced by the EU’s carbon trading plan. As a result, electricity prices are up, windfall profits are plentiful, and carbon reduction is negligible. Consequently, environmental groups are upset knowing businesses profit, consumers suffer, and there is no chance for environmental change. Even the Italian mafia’s getting involved.
There is also the problem of “proving that emissions cuts are reductions that would not have occurred absent the offset payments is proving difficult. For example, India’s largest exporter of Basmati rice, KRBL, was set to receive several hundred thousand dollars’ worth of CDM credits a year for installing a $5 million generator to produce electricity from rice husks, a renewable energy source. Though the company claimed the biomass generator would not have been installed without funding from the credits, the senior manager at the plant admitted to the British Broadcasting Corp. that KRBL ‘would have done the project anyway.’”
For the logging industry, there is the lost opportunity of cutting down timber to make profit. It’s highly unlikely the offset program would recover the economic costs Waxman-Markey would inflict. And those offsets wouldn’t cover the rest of the wood products industry hurt by cap and trade.
If a tree falls in the woods after policymakers pass cap and trade, would anyone hear it? The loggers won’t, because they won’t have jobs anymore.
