Conservative Business League (CBL), the sister organization to the 603 Alliance purchased a table at the Rockingham County Republican Committee Freedom Founders Dinner on Saturday, May 30, 2015 at the Executive Court Conference Center in Manchester. Among the dignitaries in attendance were keynote speaker and presidential candidate, Governor Scott Walker, former NH Governor John H. Sununu, U.S. Congressman Frank Guinta, NHGOP Chairwoman Jennifer Horn, and many state Senate and House members.
CBL received special mention in the event program and the table was in a prominent and visible position at the dinner. Thank you to the 603 Alliance and CBL steering committee members who were in attendance to give credence to the fact that 603 Alliance and CBL supports GOP functions.
The second of the series of the 603 Alliance/CBL presentations was well received at the Littleton Republican Town Committee meeting on Thursday, May 21, 2015 in Littleton, NH.
Members welcomed speakers for the 603 Alliance and CBL Andrew Hemingway and Fran Wendleboe, and the steering committee members in attendance. Judging by the many interesting questions and subsequent discussions from the audience, it was obvious that the concept of the 603 Alliance and CBL was supported by the attendees.
603 Alliance and CBL-NH, LLC members made a presentation to the Northborough, MA Tea Party group on Tuesday, May 19, 2015 at the Northborough Free Library. Jim Kofalt, Diane Bitter and Mike Rogers explained how the 603 Alliance and CBL-NH got started and the goals of the “sister” organizations to restore Constitutional principles in all levels of government and to educate and unite like-minded conservatives in support of candidates who will further these principles. With almost 45 NTP members present who were there by special invitation, kudos to Jim, Diane, and Mike who fielded the dozens of questions from the audience with exemplary aplomb.
As you know, it takes all kinds, particularly in politics. Here’s Politico contributor Ben Schreckinger’s spin on our newly formed 603 Alliance:
New Hampshire conservatives plan anti-Jeb Bush caucus
[Politico.com] Taking aim at Jeb Bush, a group of leading New Hampshire conservatives and libertarians are preparing to stage their own caucus three months before the state’s first-in-the-nation primary — and then unify behind the winner.

When you add the candidates who are almost certain to soon join the race–Jeb Bush, Gov. Scott Walker, Rick Perry, and Gov. Chris Christie–and the others who might, the field will be big enough to fill an airport shuttle van. The stage at the first Fox News debate in early August will have so many people on it, the organizers may need to put everyone on bleachers.
[Philly.com] NASHUA, N.H. – Libertarians and conservatives have banded together in a diverse coalition to try to end New Hampshire’s reputation as a RINO preserve.
Calling itself the 603 Alliance after the state’s area code, the group plans to stage a caucus in October to unify behind a single conservative candidate before the GOP presidential primary three months later.
