Here’s a video with some Boston conservaclone talk show host yammering over some footage of today’s 420 in Concord including a great shot of Rich Paul which clearly directs viewers here to FreeKeene.com. Thank you Rich and the FOX editors! Most of the clip is pretty dull and uninteresting, but publicity is always best when it’s free:
Thanks to the Union Leader’s Melanie Plenda for this story, covering both Keene and Concord’s 420 celebrations yesterday:
It wasn’t ash from Iceland creating a haze in communities across New Hampshire yesterday.
April 20, or 4-20, has become known in cannabis-loving circles as the day to “smoke ’em if you got ’em,” according to those who gathered in Keene’s Central Square to smoke marijuana in protest of drug laws.
In recent years, pot-fueled rallies have been held across the country to mark the date of 4-20, the numbers that have become a rallying cry among smokers. A rally took place in Concord yesterday on the steps of the Capitol.
Some lit up marijuana cigarettes while organizers with bullhorns, including former Epping police officer Bradley Jardis of Hooksett, cautioned them not to say a word if police came to arrest them.
The 29-year-old Jardis said he is just a free person now “trying to protect the liberties I’ve taken away.”
State troopers watched from inside the State House, but planned no action unless the crowd got unruly. (more…)
Thanks to Lauren C. for the video of last week’s Census Burning Party at the 420 Celebration:
Concord-area liberty activist Neal Connor announces the State Capitol Smokeout in a post to the Free Keene Forum:
“Would you smoke a bowl for freedom?”
After years spent engaging the political process, fighting not just for legalization but simply for decriminalization and medical marijuana, it should be apparent to all that New Hampshire politicians have no intention of listening to reason.
Instead, we must demonstrate to all that we will not be intimidated by their words on paper. As peaceful people we refuse to submit to their violent rule of law. As Penn Jillette said, “Fighting for freedom is a losing battle. Taking liberty is what real Americans do.”
Let us take our liberty. Join us on the lawn of the State Capitol building as we celebrate our rights as free people! Bring some friends, some bud, and a revolutionary spirit.
Invite your friends to our Facebook event!
Date: Tuesday, April 20, 2010
Time: 4:20 PM
Place: State House lawn (107 N. Main St., Concord)

Thanks to Jodie and Marc Emery and the rest of the great crew of Cannabis Culture for publishing this awesome feature article all about Keene’s cannabis freedom movement, starting with Andrew Carroll’s arrest last year and going through the Nashua crackdowns. Not only that, but they allowed JJ from the Free Keene Press to write the piece! They included activists’ photos as well as videos from OTN and Anarchy in Your Head. It’s an amazing piece that is going to help put Free Keene on the cannabis activism map!
If you found this website via Cannabis Culture, please take a look around – there’s a lot more happening here than cannabis freedom activism.
Here’s the text of the piece: (more…)
At least, so the supporters of the statist quo keep trying to get us to believe. Clearly all the people who wave, honk, shout-out, and give peace signs to us absolutely hate liberty activists and want us to leave New Hampshire:
Thanks to the Ridley Report for continuing to cover the Keeniac inspired and attended Nashua 420s.
