The sign on the door at Abunara says, “Closed until further notice”. I sure hope they come back, because it was a pretty cool place to hang out. Until that time, Social Sundays / Game Night will be at 12 Emerald St. in Keene at 5pm. Here’s the forum thread about the change.
Westmoreland busybody and statist Pam Martens has continued her uninformed hit pieces on Free Staters. Normally they don’t get mentioned here, but this time she mentions Keene activism (it’s such a great quote, I added it to the “unintentional endorsements” section of the 111+ Reasons to Move to Keene.):
the Free State Project holds extremist views and their participants have wreaked havoc in areas like Keene and Grafton. We’ve seen a steady stream of Free Staters taunting the Keene police and ending up in the Westmoreland jail, costing taxpayers dearly.
You can see her full hit piece below. Wreaked havoc? What exactly has been ruined or destroyed in Keene besides old ideas? Are the 420 celebrations wreaking havoc on the idea of prohibition? Quotes like these make it clear that the liberty movement is really bumming out the statists up here. You should come join the fun – just over 25 more signups before the Free State Project reaches 10,000 participants!
We also had a youtube critic send me an angry message where he accuses liberty activists of making an “unimaginable blunder” by holding candlelight vigils outside the homes of government aggressors. (I posted the full text of his message and my reply here.) In it he claims FreeKeene.com is “failing”. Really? By what measure? Failing because some people are upset? What about all the people who appreciate the liberty activists? I imagine liberty activists aren’t too popular amongst those who work for or benefit from the state. We can’t please everyone and shouldn’t try. To say this website is failing, however, is simply a denial of reality. Let’s look at the numbers, shall we? (more…)
Nearly 800 are in New Hampshire and nearly 10,000 have joined! As of this writing, only 82 more participants are needed to reach 10k! Then the Free State Project is over the hump and on its way to 20k and completion!
Will you be one of the first 10,000? If you’ve been sitting on the fence, hop off and get signed up! With any luck, 10,000 can be reached before the Liberty Forum in Nashua, March 18-21.
Thanks to one of our Manchester liberty activist friends, Keene411 has launched! It’s like an SMS party line. You send a text to a phone number and the message is blasted out to an unlimited number of phones via Twitter. Here are the instructions for signing up:
This information will always be available in the top menu and via this shortcut: Keene411.freekeene.com. You can also learn about how to sign up for Manch411 and follow the Kwik411 blog here.
The Civil Disobedience Evolution Fund is entering a new era with a website redesign (more changes coming) and the HUGE announcement that former LEAP speaker and veteran law enforcement officer Brad Jardis will be heading up the organization as Executive Director!
Here’s the release from CDEF Chairman Brian Travis as posted at CDEvolution.org (please go and become a contributing member!):
It is my great pleasure to announce that Brad Jardis has joined the Civil Disobedience Evolution Fund as Executive Director.
Brad is a well-known figure in the liberty movement in New Hampshire. He spent 11 years as a law enforcement officer. His outspoken criticism of the illegal drug war has made him a pariah to the established law enforcement cabal. For the same reason, Brad has become a hero to many people in the liberty community.
Because of his public stance on the drug war, as well as criticism of other crimes that imprison non-violent people, Brad was recently forced out of his job.
We are fortunate to have Brad as the public face of the Civil Disobedience Evolution Fund and look forward to the impact he will have on the liberty movement in New Hampshire.
Robin Hood and the Merry Men celebrate a successful first year! From Lauren C.’s post on the Free Keene Forum:
Hip Hip Hoorah to Robin Hood’s parking meter rescues!
Let it be known that in the course of one year the outlaw Robin Hood has deposited $54 in expired meters, denying approximately $1350 to the crown, and allowing about 270 people to relax and smile.
He also accepted $273 in donations, and spent $248 on expenses. That means $25 for the Merry Men!
Awesome job!
