The Sentinel’s Feature Story About NH Liberty Activism

Thanks to the Sentinel’s Kyle Jarvis for this well-researched article, covering a variety of the groups involved in the NH liberty movement:

New Hampshire has many attractions, from natural beauty to relatively low unemployment.

But for some, it’s the “Live Free or Die” image that has them packing up the moving van and heading to the Granite State.

In addition to an active state Libertarian Party, New Hampshire is home to several growing “pro-liberty” organizations that share many of the same ideals.

These include the Free State Project and the New Hampshire Liberty Alliance, which take different approaches to the same goal: more freedom.

And then there’s Free Keene, a loosely arranged group of local residents who’ve caused quite a stir in recent months, most notably by playing a drinking game during a City Council meeting in August, which was the group’s way of protesting the city’s open container law. (more…)

LRN.FM News – NH Division – Now Recruiting Reporters

by | Nov 10, 2010 | 9 comments

In case you haven’t heard, the guys from Freedom’s Phoenix are working with Copblock.org to produce a weekly newscast. It’s pretty good right out of the gate, so I added it to LRN.FM and replaced our old not-so-liberty oriented news service. However, weekly isn’t often enough, and news should be more decentralized, so what would be cool is to have 2:00 of news each hour come from the Freedom’s Phoenix crew and 2:00 of news come from NH (Free Keene, Free Grafton, etc). Or, if you’d prefer to do a full 5:00 news block, we could alternate hours – with the Phoenix crew one hour, NH the next, and so-on.

Are you interested in doing this? You theoretically could make money by selling a live sponsor for part of your 2:00. If we had enough people, we could split up the week and make the workload on each person involved fairly low, and perhaps have a daily newscast at some point, but starting at least weekly might be what needs to happen in the beginning.

Reports could be filed from anywhere, via a podcast which our LRN.FM automation system would pick up and put on-the-air nationwide, and of course people could also subscribe to the podcast.

Your thoughts? If you’d like to help, please respond to this topic on the Free Keene Forum.
