Welcome to our newest blogger, Lorri Rodier!
Free Keene welcomes longtime local and entrepreneur Lorri Rodier as our newest blogger. Here’s her bio as it appears on our Bloggers page:
Lorri lives in the Keene area, and has almost her whole life. She’s the mother of three children, and runs a small business. She loves NH, raising her family here, and recommends it to others looking for a good place to live. The only thing that would make NH even better, in her opinion, is if we could truly be the “Free State”. She hopes to help make this happen.
Al Jazeera Reports on the FSP & Keene
One of the best news agencies in the world (since they aren’t necessarily biased in favor of the American state), Al-Jazeera, has reported on the Free State Project:
Loudon, New Hampshire – On Tuesday, Republicans in the state of New Hampshire vote for their presidential nominee in the first primary in the nation.
With all eyes on the horse race between the six major Republican candidates, some interesting political trends within the state of New Hampshire itself have gone unexamined. The state – with an official motto of “Live Free or Die” – has a political culture steeped in a small-government mindset. And partly for that reason, almost 1,000 political migrants have moved to New Hampshire over the past several years as part of the Free State Project. Read more
Over 100 Occupy Keene’s Railroad & Central Squares
Filed under: Introduction, Issues, National, Outreach, Personal Freedom, Photos, Social
Today was a major activism day in Keene as over 100 gathered at Railroad Square and after a meeting walked down to Central Square. During the walk, traffic was blocked for a few minutes (a tactic with which I don’t agree).
The occupation began at 12:15pm and was still active late this afternoon. A hardcore contingent of activists seems committed to camping out on the ground that is supposedly “public”. Will the aggressors called “the city of Keene” make a move against the peaceful demonstrators on the first night? Only time will tell.
Stay tuned here for more, but for the latest, drop into the Occupy Keene facebook page and discussion group. Read more

Talley.TV Shows Medea Benjamin of Code Pink the Violence Inherent in the System
Filed under: Economic Freedom, Introduction, Personal Freedom, Update, Video
The Civil Disobedience Evolution Fund‘s Jason Talley talks with Code Pink‘s Medea Benjamin. This video drips with cognitive dissonance, as a nice woman who is committed to peace around the world is shown the violence that is part-and-parcel of the system in which she believes. I hope she continues to think about what Talley.TV shares:
Meet LOT!

Liberty on Tour’s “Free State Friendship Tour” Launches!
Ademo, Pete, and the newest crew member, Beau have kicked off the “Free State Friendship Tour”! Today they left from Keene to begin a solid month of traveling in and around the Shire. Free Keene’s Ademo filed this first post on LibertyonTour.com. This morning they traveled to Greenfield, MA in an attempt to get accountability, as the people calling themselves the “commonwealth” are still aggressing against Ademo and Pete for recording bureaucrats in public. Stay tuned at LibertyonTour.com for the latest.
Welcome to our newest blogger, Heika!
Heika met Ademo and Pete from Liberty on Tour last year at her workplace at the time. She ended up coming out to the summer Nightcap events in the park and getting to know many other liberty activists. She excitedly got involved in the movement and began learning about the ideas of liberty. Her road to liberty has been a particularly difficult one. When she was arrested for enjoying a beer in the park last summer, many of her family members and “friends” ostracized her for being associated with liberty lovers. Despite the setback, she continued down her path and has now become involved in the local homeless shelter and Keene’s government through council meetings and committees and is even planning a run for city council later this year. So, welcome Heika as our newest blogger. You can get full details on the rest of our bloggers here. Here’s her bio:
Heika Courser (“hcourser”) – Heika is a Keene native and friend to many FSP members. She is a big supporter of the phrase, “No victim, no crime.” Although she is not in support of many things the government does, she has recently become very interested in local politics, such as city council and other city committees. Heika also proudly partakes in many acts of civil disobedience as well as supports her liberty-oriented friends with vigils, protests, attending court hearings and trials, and more.
