Last September, Derrick J Freeman held a dance party in Central Square. As many of you know, the party was quickly shut-down with the arrival of Keene PD. This year to commemorate the infamous “Live Free or Dance” Party, I will be hosting “Live Free or Dance II” at Ashuelot Park on Sunday September 9 at 10pm.
I ask that anyone planning to attend remain peaceful and respectful of the rights of others.
Using a portable battery-powered radio (and battery-powered party lights) – we shall have a dance party this year, hopefully without any arrests!
If the KPD shows up, I will take full responsibility and if arrested for any (bogus) reason, I ask that bail NOT be paid.
With that said: LET’S DANCE!

A recent Mother Jones’ article, Chalk a Sidewalk, Go to Jail by Josh Harkinson features a review of major incidents across the country of chalking arrests. The comprehensive article features references to stories previously covered on Free Concord, such as the chalking cases out of Orlando, Richmond, and LA. There’s even a reference early in the article to the Chalking 8. Midway through, there’s an interactive United States map with a brief description of events in each case. An incident not included in the map, but not forgotten nonetheless, are the original two War on Chalk arrests at the federal building in Concord, November 13, 2010.

On Tuesday September 4, 2012 the officers of the Libertarian Party of New Hampshire submitted close to 15,000 certified petitions to the Secretary of State.
LPNH Chair Rich Tomasso sent an email to party members stating, “The Patch and WMUR were both there to cover the event. WMUR interviewed me, and Tony from The Patch interviewed me, John Babiarz and Hardy Macia. We talked about the petition drive, the issues and general remarks on the election.

If you didn’t already know, I’m running for the Republican Nomination for High Sheriff in beautiful Coös County. I haven’t posted about it here because I don’t think a person seeking a high political office should intertwine it with libertarian related activism. Seeing as our campaign website just mysteriously crashed immediately after I posted this link to it, I figured re-posting it here on one of New Hampshire’s most highly viewed blogs would now be more than appropriate.
After you follow that link and watch the news report, read NH RSA 104:6 section II.
High Sheriff’s in New Hampshire can lawfully enforce the federal court order that stops the Obama Administration from behaving like a group of blac-bloc anarchists regarding constitutional law and federal court authority. That’s right: Sheriffs in New Hampshire can even stop the United States Military from indefinitely detaining Americans without due-process by lawfully enforcing an Article III court injunction at the state level.
My friends in Keene should find out if all of their High Sheriff candidates will defend the rule-of-law against the Obama Administration by enforcing this particular court order.
Everyone in our nation should stand behind the ability of the federal courts to hold the Obama Administration in contempt of the Constitution.

The Union Leader reports on lawyer Brandon Ross taking Ademo’s case:
MANCHESTER — A lawyer has asked a judge to rethink the guilty verdict against Adam “Ademo” Mueller, the Free Stater convicted last month of illegal wiretapping.
In a court filing, Concord lawyer Brandon Ross said the law was applied incorrectly, and Mueller should have been convicted of a misdemeanor, if anything. He also said Mueller, the co-founder of the police-monitoring CopBlock.org website, has a constitutional right to make sure the taped individuals — police Capt. Jon Hopkins, West High principal MaryEllen McGorry and a school secretary — are accountable to the public.
“It is unconstitutional to allow public employees to convert a privacy shield for citizens (the wiretap law) into a sword with which to attack citizen journalists for recording statements those public employees made while they were on the job and voluntarily interacting with the public,” Ross wrote.
