Elections can be depressing. Usually you are presented with a choice between Big Government Candidate A and Big Government Candidate B. In most cases it’s not even worth voting. Here at Free Keene, we want to change that. We’re going to give you a reason to show up and vote by recommending Liberty-oriented candidates who have signed the Small Government Pledge. You can find the full pledge at that link but here is the essence:

“I will vote small government. Every issue. Every time. No exceptions. No excuses.”

That’s right, Free Keene will be endorsing candidates in the 2007 Keene Municipal election! We have already found one candidate with the courage to sign the pledge. Find out who she is, get details on how to vote, and learn more about what we’re doing at the Pro-Liberty Voter’s Guide at http://vote.freekeene.com
