According to the Sentinel, four homes are scheduled to be stolen by the violent, monopolistic gang calling themselves the City of Keene. These families aren’t protesting taxes, they just can’t afford to pay them in the troubled economy. The city’s response? They are choosing to proceed with stealing the homes from these people and kicking them into the street.
If you’ve been listening to the Talkback archives here on FreeKeene, you know that city councilor Cynthia Georgina has until this point refused to believe that families will be tossed out of their homes for nonpayment of property taxes. Now she can no longer deny it, as the Sentinel reveals the ugly process that will happen to you too if you don’t pay the gang: (more…)

Thanks to owner and local entrepreneur Dorrie O’Meara for having the courage to not only open a restaurant in a down economy but to have the courage to anger Keene’s entire population of busybodies by painting her building a bright yellow. See the Sentinel’s article for coverage of the “controversy”, including comments from local busybodies. Local liberty activists ate at Pedraza’s on Sunday and had an enjoyable meal. The food was good and it’s conveniently located next door to liberty activists’ favorite bar, Vendetta in Keene’s Central Square. I’d like to also remind Keeniacs that the competition down the street from Pedraza’s (“Margarita’s”) supported the NH smoking ban, so they are being boycotted. It’s great to have an authentic Mexican restaurant here in Keene again, especially one run by a lady who has the courage to stand up for her choices even in the face of the nastiness of the local busybodies. So, gracias, Pedraza’s!

Liberty activists called WKBK’s Talkback this morning and discussed dancing licenses, recording public trials, property taxes and business development, the free market and the economic situation, the violence of the state, alcohol and young people in Europe, liberty activists showing up at city council meetings, property rights, and privatization. You’ll get to hear Cynthia and fellow city councilor Nat Stout actually talk some sense in the beginning of the archive, though Nat blames the free market for the economic troubles the country is facing. While NH has it’s share of problems, at least many of the politicians are friendly towards a number of freedom ideas. To their credit, both Nat and Cynthia voted against a ban on bars being built within 500 ft of an existing bar.
If you are awake on Saturday mornings, we could really use your help! Please join us in calling the program with a pro-liberty viewpoint. Get details on when and how and discuss with other activists on this Free Keene forum thread.

MPP has set up a handy form allowing you to easily mail all the “representatives” in your area of NH. It passed the committee with a solid 13-7 – a good start! The full house vote could happen within a week, so please contact these folks and encourage them to support HB 648, and let’s begin the end of this insane war on drugs.

A few weeks ago when Free Keene blogger AnarchoJesse was arrested for wearing a hat in Milford District Court, the presiding judge explained it was disruptive to the proper administration of justice. Today however, activists were allowed to wear hats with no incident. In fact, they were explicitly told that hats were allowed! Sure enough, the court procedure went on as it normally would have.
There is much more to tell from today’s court activism in Milford, but I’ll let Kat Kanning at the New Hampshire Free Press tell the story.
