Here’s the article appearing in today’s Keene Sentinel about tonight’s drinking game. It reports that on tonight’s agenda is a letter from Keene native Heika Courser regarding the repeal of the open container ordinance, so the councilors will be addressing the issue. All indicators show a larger turnout of activists is expected tonight than last time. Here’s the text of the piece by “Sentinel Staff”:

Any case made to legalize now illegal drugs in the U.S. is really a case to repeal acts that made them illegal in the first place, namely the Controlled Substances Act. When marijuana was first outlawed it was done so in a constitutional, albeit shady, manner. It was prohibited the same way way alcohol was during the prohibition by raising the taxes for it requiring you to obtain a marijuana tax stamp. All of these stamps were locked away so no one could actually obtain one, but at least from a legal standpoint the government was obeying the constitution. (more…)

Lew Rockwell, the founder of the Mises Institute and the most popular liberty-oriented website in the world, LewRockwell.com, has endorsed Keene’s activism! In an hour-long interview on Keene’s syndicated talk radio show, Free Talk Live, Lew called Keene “The northern capital of libertarianism” and suggested it was the “epicenter” of NH liberty activism. Lew identified himself as an “enthusiastic supporter” of the Free State Project, saying, “I definitely endorse the Free State Project”. About Keene, he said “[i] especially like what you guys are doing in Keene”, adding that activists “do amazing things here”.
Thank you Lew for your visit to Keene, the great interview, and the excellent endorsements. I’m adding them to the top of our Endorsements section of the 130 Reasons to Move to Keene!
