Playboy Magazine’s Joe Donatelli reports from Freedom Fest 2015, where over 2,000 people gathered this year, including many libertarians.
The Free State Project had a large contingent there, working the crowd, and was able to garner at least twenty new signers, bringing us ever closer to the goal of 20,000 people pledging to move their lives to New Hampshire!
Morgan Spurlock’s “FREEDOM! The Movie” premiered last night on CMT. The documentary film features comedian Billy Wayne Davis on a search for freedom in America. Along the way, he meets a bunch of interesting characters including Free State Project early movers Silver Dave, Carla Gericke, Keene’s Robin Hooders, and more.
Here’s the full movie: (more…)
Is your liberty movement getting major media coverage? The FSP does.
Every year the Porcupine Freedom Festival, a week-long gathering in Lancaster, NH garners media coverage from various places. Libertarians in other areas of the country virtually never get mainstream press, but in NH it happens all the time. That’s because the idea of concentrating our efforts is WORKING. If you love liberty, join the Free State Project today. Meanwhile, here’s another Porcfest 2015 Media Roundup:
The trailer has just been released for “FREEDOM! The Movie”, which premieres Saturday, July 11th at 9pm Eastern on CMT and features liberty activists and Free State Project early movers from both the Manch and Keene areas. In the upcoming feature-length documentary produced by Morgan Spurlock, comedian Billy Wayne Davis is on a search for freedom in America and his path takes him to various interesting places and people.
Here’s the trailer that just hit the web today. Please share and mark your calendar for 7/11, 9pm, on the CMT network.
Last week, Porcfest (the Porcupine Freedom Festival), the Free State Project‘s yearly camping festival in the White Mountains of Northern New Hampshire, was already generating headlines across the state, before it had even begun.
Here’s more media coverage of Porcfest 2015:
I may update this post with more entries as I discover them.
Near high noon today, the first full day of the Free State Project‘s annual Porcupine Freedom Festival, two agents (Phillip Lawrence and Ray Persinger) from the “Department of Revenue” rolled up to Rogers Campground. The sharply-dressed thugs inquired with campground staff if there were food vendors in Agora Alley, a place renown for delicious food available from some vendors who may not have bothered asking government permission to serve their fellow hungry humans.
Upon exiting the office, I immediately began recording and confronted the men. Here’s the video of that encounter:
A crowd of activists quickly gathered, with multiple alerts going out via two-way radio, facebook, and word-of-mouth. They weren’t able to get any further than the first vendor before being told they were not welcome by multiple people in the crowd. A campground staff member ultimately told the criminals to go speak with the park owner, Crosby.
After thirty minutes of meeting with Crosby, the men immediately exited the property. Crosby refused to be interviewed about the conversation, but claimed he was not threatened by them. I suspect he’s not being forthcoming. Porcfest organizers would also not speak on camera, but the conversation I had and overheard leads me to believe that Crosby has been recruited to pass out government paperwork to food vendors. I plan to investigate further with the vendors and see what’s happening behind-the-scenes. Stay tuned here to FreeKeene.com for the latest on this developing situation. Also, Porcfest is just starting, so come out and join us through this weekend!
UPDATE: One vendor reports that Crosby did not hand him the paperwork from the state when the vendor indicated that he’s got his books in order. We’ll be discussing the incident on Free Talk Live tonight at 7pm Eastern. You can listen live at LRN.FM.
