In case you missed it, Meg posted earlier today here on the blog, but likely because she is modest, didn’t make a big deal out of the fact that there is a fundraiser going on to help her get home to the Shire from Florida. See, US Airways screwed her over and reneged on their offer to get her home, and she doesn’t have enough cash to get back. Can you help? We’re already halfway to the goal, and any money that is raised over and above the cost of travel will be donated to WeWontFly.com!
UPDATE: Apparently Meg had the money fronted by WeWontFly‘s George Donnelly – thanks George. Every dollar raised will go to pay him back and beyond that will benefit WeWontFly.com
In the controversy surrounding the TSA intimidating Free Keene blogger Meg McLain and removing her from the Ft. Lauderdale airport, someone’s lying, and we know who has a history of lying: The TSA. Yesterday they released some security footage (Video 1, Video 2) of the security area where Meg had her encounter with the TSA agents. The release of the footage was an attempt to make Meg look like she was telling lies, but the evidence points to TSA being the liars. What kind of security footage doesn’t have a timecode? There is no way to tell what happened between the two videos, and the TSA would obviously like us to believe they are contiguous. Regardless, the footage raises many questions about what Meg claimed in our interview with her on Free Talk Live, of which the YouTube video has received about half-a-million hits in a day’s time. Was she actually handcuffed? Did they rip up the ticket? Is the TSA showing us all the footage? These questions and more were asked and answered on 11/11’s Free Talk Live in the third hour, which I have uploaded to YouTube. Thanks to Meg for taking an hour out of her busy schedule to talk with us again to clarify what really happened. Here’s the interview:

Thanks to the Sentinel’s Kyle Jarvis for this well-researched article, covering a variety of the groups involved in the NH liberty movement:
New Hampshire has many attractions, from natural beauty to relatively low unemployment.
But for some, it’s the “Live Free or Die” image that has them packing up the moving van and heading to the Granite State.
In addition to an active state Libertarian Party, New Hampshire is home to several growing “pro-liberty” organizations that share many of the same ideals.
These include the Free State Project and the New Hampshire Liberty Alliance, which take different approaches to the same goal: more freedom.
And then there’s Free Keene, a loosely arranged group of local residents who’ve caused quite a stir in recent months, most notably by playing a drinking game during a City Council meeting in August, which was the group’s way of protesting the city’s open container law. (more…)
