The Libertarian Party (LP) had, after the late, great Harry Browne’s campaigns, been falling further and further from it’s original principles. In the early portion of this decade, when the LP removed from the party platform their calls for the abolishment of the CIA and FBI, I wrote their newspaper to say I’d not send them another dime of money until they got back to their founding principle: the non-initiation of force.

As I drifted away from the LP and politics and toward market-based action, I paid less and less attention to the LP. I even said on the air recently on “Free Talk Live“, my talk show, that the only reason I was still a member is because I bought a life membership and it hadn’t been worth my while to cancel it.

Keene area Senator Molly Kelly called me back for the very first time ever today. I originally called to ask for her opinion on the marijuana decriminalization bill that the Senate will be hearing soon. I wish I had recorded the call. Allow me to break it down for you:

I first thanked her for her return call and asked how she felt about the legislation. She gave the standard politician answer that she had not yet read it. I then summarized the bill for her (<1/4oz possession would no longer be an arrestable offense) and asked not for a response on the legislation but for her thoughts on the issue of marijuana decriminalization. She responded that she was not familiar with the legislation.

I once again clarified for her that at this point I was just curious as to how she felt about marijuana users being arrested and put into jail cells. She responded that she did not believe that actually happens! (Read on …)

A tithing of 40% of all incomes is required unless the King’s armies are in the midst of strife or conflict in this or any part of the world.  In the case of such troubled times each serf will be required to part with 50% of all incomes until such time as peace has been established.  The King has also authorized the inflation of the money supply by as much as 15% in said tragic times.

If you would like to beg some politicians to act in a sane manner, here’s what you can do:

The full NH House Criminal Justice and Public Safety committee will vote an up-or-down recommendation on marijuana decriminalization as early as THIS TUESDAY.

This bill has a decent shot of passing, if there is a public outpouring in favor of it.
The number of emails from New Hampshire residents in favor of the bill will make all the difference.

(Only) if you live in New Hampshire, PLEASE take one minute of your time RIGHT NOW! (Read on …)

The Attorney General’s threats to Julia resulted in another interview on Gardner Goldsmith’s “Against the Grain”. Here is the MP3.

Also, the Keene Sentinel ran another front-page article about her and the Attorney General situation. Here are scans:

Ward 4 City Council candidate Julia Miranda has been threatened with one to seven years in state prison by the New Hampshire Attorney General. In a “Cease and Desist Order” sent to Miranda today, the Attorney General alleges that Ms. Miranda’s offer to give away her $500 city council paychecks to randomly chosen Ward 4 voters amounts to “a direct or indirect bribe”.

Liberty activists visit Milford District Court and Hillsboro County Jail to gather information and protest the arrest of nonviolent civil disobedience superactivist Lauren Canario. In two parts:

Yesterday approximately 20% (3,188) of Keene’s registered voters turned out to decide on a 33% more expensive Teachers’ Contract than the one that was voted down back in March. 62.5% (1,995) voted to approve the Teachers Contract. That’s a total of 12.4% of Keene’s registered voters who’ve decided that you’re going to be paying more in property taxes (or more in rent, if you don’t own).

How could you be against this? Do you hate teachers? Do you hate public schools?

Of course I don’t hate teachers. Education is very important. That is precisely why it needs to be taken out of the hands of government. Eating is important too. Would you want the government deciding what you can eat? Would you want government bureaucrats distributing food? If not, why would you want bureaucrats deciding what your kids should learn?

Once again the NH Legislature is showing its increasingly anti-freedom bent by trying to ban the use of handheld cellphones while driving.

The following paragraph is from www.stateline.org:

“A University of Utah study released in February found that 18- to 25-year-old drivers talking on a cell phone with a headset reacted as slowly as 65- to 74-year-old drivers without cell phones. Older drivers also reacted more slowly while talking on cell phone, the report said. Wireless phone companies, on the other hand, point to research that using a cell phone is among the least common distractions for drivers. A 2003 study funded by AAA found that fiddling with radio dials, eating and drinking, talking with passengers, grooming, reading and writing were more common activities for drivers than talking on a phone.”

Allow me to put this another way. (Read on …)
