City Files Robin Hood Appeal, Spends $2,200 on Transcript Alone

by | Dec 27, 2013 | 6 comments

RobinHood_sheriffThe people calling themselves the “City of Keene” have officially filed their appeal in the Robin Hood cases. They have also filed a motion asking the NH supreme court to accept amicus briefs in the case from other interested parties, which will likely be various state employee unions, and other state agencies interested in destroying freedom of speech and the press.

The appeal paperwork lists the amount “the City” will be forcing taxpayers to pay for the transcript of the three-day “evidentiary hearings” that led to the dismissal of their illegal, unconstitutional civil cases against the Robin Hooders: $2,200! Add that to the at least $20,000 that taxpayers have forked over for this frivolous case against us in the first place, and then keep counting, because the legal bill from the fancy private attorneys “the city” hired isn’t going to get smaller!

A recent Keene city council meeting shows a non-public session where the council appears to have voted 12-0 on a legal issue, presumably this case.  Is the city council really in favor of this move by “the city”?  How many taxpayer dollars are they willing to lavish on this case before people boot them out of office in the next election?

Usually the court will take a month to docket the case.  Stay tuned to Free Keene for the latest on the Robin Hood saga.

Perry, one of the founders of the NH Liberty Party, hosted this panel of secession advocates at Keenevention 2013. Panelists included Conan Salada of the NH Liberty Party, Able Freeman of Shire Micronation, and Chandler Gabel of the Foundation for NH Independence:

Journalism Student’s In-Depth Report on the Free State Project

Free State ProjectMelody is a college junior who apparently had heard some rumors about the Free State Project. Rather than believing what she was told, she decided to check it out for herself and went to a meeting of the Concord Porcupines. Here’s her detailed report as posted to her blog:

In Liberty: The Free State Project

“Thank you for contacting the Free State Project and your interest in our efforts to ‘achieve liberty in our lifetime.’” Finally, a response, I say to myself, scrolling though the e-mail. I was getting worried that they didn’t want to be bothered; my e-mail was sent five days ago.

The message was full of basic information; when and where meetings are taking place, links to blog posts and forums, along with what the organization stands for: life, liberty, and property.

“I would suggest going to the Concord Porcupine meeting this coming Saturday. They meet at Tandy’s around noon.” Porcupines? Is that really what they call themselves? (more…)
