Resume? Are you serious?
Most days I get my lunch at the Concord Boloco (burrito place). It turns out, the guy who works the register there was a State Rep for a few years. He's not unusual. Reps are retirees, contractors, auto mechanics, landlords, and yes, guys who work at the burrito place.
It's hard to deprogram people who weren't born here -- there's no money in NH politics. NH has a citizen legislature, not a "legislative class".
The reason I focus on the legislature is because it's the only realistic way I see major changes happening anytime soon, and because I've seen those changes happen. We came within 1 vote of getting medical MJ (1 more state senator and we'd ahve overridden the governor's veto). We got same-sex marriage -- by a thin margin, like 1 dozen votes IIRC. We lose dozens & dozens of issues every year by similar margins.
2-3 dozen people in the House and we'd be passing all those things: legalizing MJ (which we're passing more & more already), fully-informed juries, home schooling, eliminating bureaucracies, etc, etc, etc.
The calculus is so simple: have volunteers go to every single court every single jury selection day to hand out literature that most people will view as "unauthorized" and hence suspect, or get a FIJA law passed so that the courts themselves have to inform every juror about nullification?
Activists who work on only 1 issue are getting low return on investment.
Activists who think that a few dozen activists going to jail will somehow "bring the system down" are simply wrong.
Activists who know that "politics won't change anything" presumably are not looking at the roll call votes -- or can't do math.
