Out in front of the “town hall” with Kelly Ayotte yesterday in Fitzwilliam, I had the chance to interview a group of people with signs referencing “Don’t Tread on Me” and the constitution and such. I wanted to know what they thought of secession. I got some mixed answers, a lot of collectivist-speak, and ended up talking about Islam with one of them. Enjoy!
Those of you who often read this blog will know that I have long been a critic of US Customs and Border Protection. My critique has always been their authority to force people to answer questions in light of the 5th Amendment when entering our country.
Last year I even campaigned for High Sheriff in Coos County, NH and spent considerable time talking about the issue.
Last week I dropped my suit against the United States Government because I’ve been convinced that their legal position is correct.
WHEN YOU ARE AT THE BORDER DEALING WITH US CUSTOMS YOU ARE NOT IN THE UNITED STATES. YOU >MUST< DISCLOSE EVERYTHING YOU'VE DONE WHILE OUTSIDE OF THE COUNTRY OR YOU CAN AND WILL FACE SERIOUS LEGAL PENALTIES.
IF YOU CITE MY CASE OR ACTIVISM AT THE BORDER AS A REASON NOT TO ANSWER QUESTIONS I WILL HELP THE UNITED STATES GOVERNMENT IF THEY CHOOSE TO PROSECUTE YOU FOR NOT ANSWERING QUESTIONS.
The lower (or any) border of the United States is just that: a special zone where the 5th Amendment doesn’t apply.
US CBP and US Attorney in AZ: My sincere apologies for the legal headaches I caused with this issue. I was wrong.
At her “town hall” meeting in Fitzwilliam, NH yesterday, I encountered Kelly Ayotte, former NH Attorney General and now US Senator outside before she entered the building with her security. Since I didn’t think there was a chance I’d get to ask my question inside the event, I asked it here. Of course, I was ignored, but had a little Cop Block with officer Lenny DiSalvo where I was “asked” to go around front and politely declined his suggestion.
Normally, these aren’t worth posting, but Pete’s was more interesting than the usual arraignment:
His “crime”? Parking on-street a few weeks ago when there was no chance of snow.
Kelly Ayotte held a “town hall meeting” in Fitzwilliam, NH on May 2. I attended, and rode with a few others from Keene. The crowd was larger than I expected, and included several dozen members of the media.
The event began with Senator Ayotte giving a brief powerpoint presentation on some of her key talking points, and then moved to the audience Q&A. (more…)
