Fox News has now aired the Cynthia Chase story. Jump to 1:10 to see it in this video. Like the Limbaugh and Breitbart pieces, they get the story wrong, claiming Chase was targeting conservatives, which is not what Free State Project participants are.
Recently, Free Keene reported on a small group of Free State Project participants sending flowers as a “thank you” to state rep Cynthia Chase for helping us recruit even more movers to NH.
Now, Foster’s Daily Democrat, a NH newspaper from the Dover area, has called the delivering of flowers to Chase “childish”, and claims the “FSP has some growing up to do”. Maybe the Foster’s editors should check themselves to see if they actually possess a sense of humor. Here’s their editorial:
FSP Has Some Growing Up to Do
We would expect more political savvy from an eight year old.
On Wednesday, supporters of the Free State Project reported they had sent flowers to State Rep. Cynthia Chase thanking her “for all the free media coverage, which naturally resulted in more new people signing up for the Free State Project.”
According to an email from FreeKeene.com, (more…)
The former Cheshire county attorney and even more former NH Attorney General was arrested last evening for driving while intoxicated. State police received a report of an erratic driver on Rt. 9 headed toward Keene before his vehicle was intercepted and he was arrested. Heed resigned from the highest lawyer’s office in the state following a sexual harassment allegation in 2004, and has been with the Cheshire county government’s legal team since 2006. He suddenly resigned in November 0f 2012, weeks following his reelection to the post in order to join a private firm. Heed has worked on and off as a lawyer for the state since the 1970s.
“I sincerely regret any error I may have made and I will address it in a straightforward way,” the bar-certified man stated today.
Presenting Day Zero of Free Concord’s Occupied Chicago series. The series features limited commentary over the raw video taken while traveling to and attending the NATO summit protests last May. This segment takes place in Boston, and begins with the group returning to its starting point eight hours after departure. After finding out that our bus trip would be replaced with a flight from Logan airport, some consumed their goods that were not approved by the TSA. This attracted South Station’s police, who in decriminalized Massachusetts chose not to act against the smokers. Once bus transport for the two or three among us who couldn’t fly is secured, an activist from Acton reads the subway guidelines for the week of the summit in Chicago. The video ends with a preview of Day One’s footage, to be released in the next week.

Here’s audio from a message Fred left on my voicemail where he claims he’s not a thief (as I alleged earlier) and that Clyde, who owns the house across the street, “authorized” him to remove the sign and further claims he didn’t want it there.
Clyde has yet to weigh in with his side of the story, but considering its Fred’s job to be the “code enforcer”, that he likely intimidated Clyde into allowing him to take the sign. Clyde’s roommate and blogger at Free Keene, Ademo Freeman, states that Clyde was told he needed to take down the sign, to which he responded that it wasn’t his and he didn’t live there. Fred then said he’d take it down for him and Clyde said, “Fine”.
When someone uses a threat of aggression in order to obtain obedience, that is called extortion. So, looks like Fred is not a thief after all, but instead is an extortionist. He’s a very nice extortionist, but that’s what he does for a living – threatens peaceful people whose property doesn’t meet the arbitrary rules set by a group of people calling themselves the “city of Keene”.
He also really believes he’s not doing anything wrong, as the end of his message reveals. He thinks he’s hung up the phone apparently when you can hear a co-bureaucrat in the background (more…)
