Several activists came out to Cheshire “superior” court yesterday morning to perform jury outreach with NHJury.com fliers encouraging jurors to learn about jury nullification – your right as a juror to judge the law itself and vote your conscience.
Hopefully jurors will take the information to heart and use compassion for their peaceful neighbor in the upcoming trial of heroic 420 celebration founder Rich Paul. Rich is facing multiple cannabis distribution charges that could result in 81 years in prison. Rich has been offered a plea deal of a year in jail and has refused. He wants to be the first person acquitted for the peaceful, victimless “crime” of selling some cannabis to consenting adults. Most people would have taken the deal. Rich is standing firm on his beliefs – he has done no harm. No victim, no crime.
Here is a facebook event for the trial which begins Tuesday April 16th at 9am at Cheshire “superior” court at 12 Court St. Jury nullification sigh waving begins at 7:50am. Please come out and support Rich!

Congratulations to the Free State Project for crossing the 70% mark with now more than 14,000 signers of the goal of 20,000. Despite the fact that the move hasn’t been triggered yet, (and won’t be until 20,000) the FSP has had tremendous impact with only 1,144 people in NH already. The aggressors are scared and have called the FSP “the single biggest threat the state is facing today”. If Rep. Cynthia Chase thinks it’s a big threat today, I wonder what she’ll think when the mover number hits 2,000, 5,000, 10,000 and so on. Remember, the amount of the 20,000 who are already here is only just over 5%!
We’re just getting started. If you love liberty and are willing to take action to achieve it, there is no better place to be than The Shire. Please join the Free State Project now and plan your move ASAP! There is much to be done.

Dave Ridley is back in disobedient mode as he prepares for a showdown with corrupt Manchester officials. From Spirit of Arcadia:
Dave Ridley vows civil disobedience at an April 8th demonstration after attempts by Manchester Mayor Ted Gatsas and a security guard to restrict him from recording in the very public lobby of City Hall.
On March 26th, Ridley was trying to interview local officials including Gatsas who told the independent journalist that he must get permission from the City Clerk’s office before recording. According to Ridley, “an enraged security officer shortly appeared and made similar demands.” He describes the upcoming demonstration:
“In the absence of some major unexpected event, there will be an anti-censorship demonstration outside City Hall starting 6 p.m. on Monday, April 8. Then I intend to enter the lobby *with* my camera recording and *without* asking permission. I’ll try to record, non-disruptively, the outskirts of a City school-committee meeting. I’ll likely remain until arrested or until 7:30 p.m…whichever comes first! I invite all peaceable folk to join me.”

After some discussion it has been decided to repurpose the nearly-defunct Monadnock Porcupines yahoo group to be more of a forum for liberty people in the area. (It used to be for facilitating welcoming new Free State Project movers – something that is now done on Facebook.) – so feel free to use the invite button and invite the people that you know love liberty and live in the Monadnock region.
Maybe it won’t pan out into anything since people love Facebook so much, but I wanted to have a way to connect with liberty-oriented people who don’t want to use the facebook or Shire Society forum.
We’ll see how it goes. You can join the yahoo group here.
