Do you like the activism you see here at Free Keene? If so, you may wish to support it financially.
We use the money to print fliers as well as buy advertising on liberty media like Ridley Report. In addition, FK is a yearly sponsor of the Liberty Forum and Porcfest.
Turns out that Chipin is going away in a matter of weeks, so the widget in the right panel of the site has been updated to a Paypal widget.
Want to check out Keene, NH this fall and meet other liberty activists? Come to Keenevention 2013, now an event on Facebook. Feel free to invite your liberty-loving friends.
Bitcoin is the dollar-killer. It’s easily the best, most popular alternative currency in the world. It’s also the most valuable of all the world’s currencies. No wonder Keene businesses are taking notice. (Haven’t heard of it or want to learn more? Visit WeUseCoins.com)
In order to further facilitate people who buy and sell with Bitcoin coming together in the area, the Keene Bitcoin Network has been launched! Right now it is just a facebook group, but bigger things are being plotted.
Bitcoin can help strengthen the local economy by avoiding pesky taxes, since it’s essentially a barter as far as the government knows (if they can even understand it). Not only that, it could also be considered an investment that may help you fight the weakening effects of inflation.
So, drop in and say hello at the new Keene Bitcoin Network! When you are added to the group, feel free to post your business if you are accepting Bitcoins in Keene!
Free State Now was originally started by Free Talk Live co-host Mark Edge with a dynamic outbound calling program. I recently took up the torch from Mark and with the help of Will Kostric, we have expanded it to include 2 more aspects. It has been a great learning experience as we turned a idea into reality. I just want to thank Mark Edge once again for all of his hard work.
The Phone center aspect is working well after much practice and patience. The cloud-based virtual call center software required some trial and error as we learned how to most effectively implement it. We have a large call list from New York that we hope to start on soon.
Additional aspects to the campaign include an online component. The Affiliate Link program will allow approved users to have a unique URL for the Free State Project website which will track the results of those who click through it and possibly sign up. This will incentivize and encourage a new breed of internet marketing for the Free State Project. Early results show great promise as we have had 14 signers already in just a couple weeks of implementation.
The final new aspect focuses on in-person sign ups at liberty events and more. We are planning both easy and cost-effective day trips as well as high profile out-of-state tours. The first Free State Now Road Tour is slated for April and more details are going to be made public as the tour develops.
I put together this video to provide an update about the campaign. Take a look!
Welcome to our newest blogger, James Cleaveland. You may recognize James from anchoring Shire TV or on the streets of Keene doing Robin Hooding. Here’s his bio from the bloggers page:
James Cleaveland (“lightspeedliberty”)- After being frustrated by the lack of progress of elsewhere and learning of the Free State Project in 2010 through Dave Ridley of the Ridleyreport and attending Porcfest 2011 and 2012, James Cleaveland moved to Keene in June 2012. Since arriving, he has been involved in many forms of activism in the Keene area from hosting ShireTV, chalking, Keene Copblock, jury outreach, trying to film in courthouses, and most recently, Robin Hooding. James believes that through dedication and hard work a more peaceful society can be achieved.
