The First Freedom Fest Was A Success

The first Keene Freedom Fest was a big success. Free Minds TV, the New Hampshire Liberty Alliance, the Keene Free Press, the NH Coalition For Common Sense, a Fully Informed Jury Association table, and an Operation Politically Homeless booth all came together on Railroad Square on Main Street in Keene NH to talk to the public about small government and ideas of liberty. It was not only a great opportunity for liberty groups to spread the message of freedom to the public, but also to talk with the fifteen to twenty activists who showed up to help make the event possible.

The most successful part of the event was probably the Operation Politically Homeless booth. Keene is known to be one of the most liberal parts of NH, so it was no surprise to see a lot people scoring “left liberal” on the quiz. It was surprising to see only one person fall under the “right conservative” section of the quiz, but it was great to see a very large number of people fall under “libertarian,” essentially meaning socially liberal but fiscally conservative. It is great to know that a growing number of people want to see the size of the government significantly reduced.
