Today I was made aware from KPD Officer Jason Short that removing the chalk that the parking enforcement officers put on a parked vehicle’s tires is a class b felony. I was given a piece of paper, pictures below, with the applicable RSA.
Some people, including you, have claimed that I’m “not libertarian” because I called for the censure of a State Representative who stated that she wishes to restrict freedoms in an attempt to target a specific group of people. You called this a “witch hunt to deny free speech to a duly elected representative.” You don’t specify how a censure denies anyone’s free speech. Censure is defined as, to “express severe disapproval of (someone or something), typically in a formal statement.” When a legislative body censures someone, they are formally expressing disapproval of a statement or action of an elected official. There is no removal of that person’s freedom of speech, simply a formal statement that the body disapproves of what was said. Impeachment is “a formal document charging a public official with misconduct in office.” Again, nothing about removing free speech in that definition either!

Representative George Lambert motions the House to hear the Petition for Redress against Cynthia Chase. Speaker Norelli rules that out of order, Lambert objects citing Part 1 Article 31 & 32 of the NH Constitution. Rep’s Vaillancourt & Richardson speak in favor of upholding the Chair’s ruling. (more…)

Cynthia Chase.
Speaker of the House Terie Norelli ruled that since no member of the House had sponsored the petition, no one could make a motion on it. Rep. Gary Richardson told the Union Leader (more…)
What is Robin Hooding? It is a form of activism where activists try to prevent people from having their money taken from them by paying an expired meter before a parking enforcement officer can write a ticket on the expired meter. Like Robin Hood, these activists are standing up against an oppressive government tax.
If your local area has meters that you can pay, robin hooding is a very easy to start up form of activism that is effective, affordable, and popular.
It’s always a great day when I get to go out and robin hood. It’s even better when I get to help people not have their money taken and get thanked for it.
Here are some recent positive interactions I’ve had with the good people of Keene while trying to save them from the parking tariff.
