Rich Paul remains incarcerated for exercising his right to have a peaceful revolution against unjust laws. “Unjust laws” in my humble opinion are those laws that are unsupported by science, immoral, and completely unchangeable by democracy.
I find this completely unacceptable.
I (like everyone else) have the right to ignore RSA 311:7‘s oh-so-mysterious “commonly” reference (wink, wink) if it means peacefully practicing law in court to reform the government. The law belongs to The People… not a private monopoly organization beholden to the government and centered on control and profit.
Rich Paul is a good man who has been following the direction given him in Part I, Article 10 of the New Hampshire Constitution. He has been doing it even though he has never sworn an oath to the document.
If I’m not mistaken… all of you all have.
I demand the NH Constitution be followed and Rich be released by 05/13/13. If Rich does not walk free, I will be taking on his appeal. Pardon him, commute his sentence, leave the back door unlocked, let a bird fly up to his window with a key… it really doesn’t matter to me.
Sundays at 4pm, join us on 101 across from the jail in Keene for a rally to support Rich Paul, jury nullification, and the release of all peaceful prisoners. Bring your own signs, or you can use ours.
Rich Paul also called in to Sunday night’s live edition of “Free Talk Live”. You can listen to that here.
Please take a moment to sign the petition and also call Hassan’s office today at 271-2121 to politely encourage her to allow cannabis patients to grow their own plants.
If you have any reason to believe the words coming out of his mouth, then former sheriff Dick Foote would like you to think he has no idea about his no-trespass orders he issued against several activists last year being ruled unconstitutional. He didn’t have much to say beyond the common political dodge of, “I haven’t read it, so I can’t comment.” Here’s the footage of my interactions with him outside the “town hall” with Kelly Ayotte recently in Fitzwilliam:
While out in front of the “town hall” with Kelly Ayotte in Fitzwilliam, NH I encountered Gary Chase, a property owner in the geographic area commonly known as Winchester. The people calling themselves the “Town of Winchester” stole over $300,000 worth of industrial equipment from his shop because he was not willing to sell his property to the town to turn it into a parking lot. This is his telling of the awful aggression against him. We then take a trip to Winchester to see the property.
Many moons ago I posted on the Free Keene Forum that police officers in New Hampshire who arrest the sick using marijuana were do so illegally.
After much reflection on the issue, today I am forced to stand by my previous position. Today I find the need to stand further up than I did just a few years ago.
Police officers in New Hampshire have no right to arrest people under state law, anybody, for possession of cannabis. Read Part I, Article 10 for yourself:
[Art.] 10. [Right of Revolution.]
Government being instituted for the common benefit, protection, and security, of the whole community, and not for the private interest or emolument of any one man, family, or class of men; therefore, whenever the ends of government are perverted, and public liberty manifestly endangered, and all other means of redress are ineffectual, the people may, and of right ought to reform the old, or establish a new government. The doctrine of nonresistance against arbitrary power, and oppression, is absurd, slavish, and destructive of the good and happiness of mankind.

The federal Drug Enforcement Administration ruled back in the 1980s that Cannabis is safe. Politicians have consistently hid this information from you. They rely on you either not knowing the law or not being able to afford to defend yourself.
