Jason Talley is not only the Managing Director of the Civil Disobedience Evolution Fund, but he is also a talented videographer and editor. In his first year living in New Hampshire, he has made a name for himself with his distinctive video coverage of the liberty movement here via Talley.TV. Most of his episodes have been featured here as blog posts at Free Keene.
Now, you will begin to see Talley.TV episodes that are sponsored by Free Keene! Free Keene continues to market through various nh-based liberty media. Please help pay for these campaigns (like Ridley Report, Liberty Conspiracy, Free Minds Media, and now Talley.TV) with the chipin in the right column of this page. Thank you!
Some political liberty activists have been upset by the amount of press coverage that civil disobedience receives. They have worked very hard to make headway in the NH state house and have finally gotten some coverage for their successes. However, it is also revealing something many of them want to keep secret for some reason – that there are about a dozen “free staters” in the NH house. I’ve never understood this fearful approach, but then again, I’m not a politician. I think if you believe in liberty, you shouldn’t hide. Well, it’s going to be a lot harder for those people to hide now that the media is on the case. Here’s a feature story from the Seacoast online about the elected free staters. Unfortunately it pigeonholes liberty activists as being republicans, when that is not true at all. Liberty-lovers are active in both political parties as well as outside of the left-right paradigm. That said, it’s a good piece by Joey Cresta:
There are roughly 12 members of the Legislature who came here as part of a movement to transform New Hampshire into a Free State. While their official numbers are small, their impact has been undeniable.
Free Staters and other libertarian-leaning individuals swept into the House amid Tea Party-spurred disavowal of incumbents last fall. Democrats and moderate Republicans say the Free State movement has mounted a libertarian invasion of the Legislature in an attempt to dismantle government (more…)
You may recall her letters to the editor or her articles in Counterpunch – one thing they had in common was they were packed full of misinformation. Pam Martens and her husband Russ, have been on an anti-free-state crusade for years, ever since they discovered liberty activists moving into the Monadnock region. Pam ignored all attempts to reach out to her for a discussion and continued to publish her anti-free-state conspiracy theories (that we are all tools of and funded by the billionaire Koch brothers) in as many places as possible.
Then, she put their house on the market in Westmoreland. It has sold. Rumor has it they have moved to Florida, as so many statists do. If you can confirm this rumor somehow, I’d appreciate it.
Pam, thank you for all the free publicity, and enjoy your statist paradise down in Florida. Hopefully more people who support aggression, as you do, will also choose to leave New Hampshire. It will make liberty activists’ job much easier, as more continue moving in every week!
It’s great having another video-oriented porcupine in Keene. Derrick gushes about “Don’t Take the Plea Deal” outreach, and rightfully recommends it for outreach in anytown:
