Cornerstone Policy Research, a New Hampshire policy think tank, sent out a news release to the Laconia Daily Sun to publicize the rally held in support of that State's now-defeated sovereignty resolution.
They received a reply:

What nonsense. Can’t you people find something better to do?
Ah yes, the "mainstream" media...
As another New Hampshire group put it "[the New Hampshire House] chose to Die rather than to Live Free."
Part of our problem is that State sovereignty has come to be branded as a "Republican" or "red state" issue; but as I will show in coming days, it is really an issue that crosses party lines. State sovereignty should appeal just as much to core Democratic principles as it does to Republican ones, rooted as it is in the philosophy of the man who founded the Democratic Party -- Thomas Jefferson.
The challenge for the States where the issue is (or soon will be) active is to bring that message home to the Democrats. It's not just about who is in the White House, it's about our survival as a nation -- it may even be about the freedom to even be Republican or Democrat.
