Hi- I'm Joan Bastek

I believe most of you know Joan. I've been chasing after liberty in my lifetime since I was 14 and realized that sending soldiers to Vietnam was wrong, very, very wrong. So most of my high school days were spent on Boston Common with the "hippies" protesting war. Unfortunately most of those hippies became socialists and moved to Vermont. I moved to NH. Most of my adult life was spent in Georgia with a couple of years spent in Alabama and Florida. I moved back here to NH from Lakeland Florida at the end of 2004 and then found the free state project. The same awesome people kept showing up at everything I was protesting or supporting at the state house. People kept referring to me as a free stater and the rest is history.

Y'all are awesome and for those of you I haven't met, I hope that will change soon!
