Call John Lynch to Support Medical Cannabis

Medical cannabis has passed both the NH house and senate, but as usual, “governor” John Lynch has promised to veto it. Please take a moment and call his office at 603-271-2121 and encourage him to sign SB 409 into law and support medical patients rights to use the medicine of their choice. Here’s a personal story from Sarah Levesque about her father:

This is my father as a medical marijuana patient. The marijuana alleviated his nausea and allowed him to eat. It eased his pain to a tolerable level and allowed him to function, instead of being in a zombie like state from being doped up on the pharmaceutical pain killers he was prescribed. (more…)

Monadnock Students Speak Out Against Oppressive Silence Campaign

As you know if you’ve been reading the blog over the last few months, school outreach events have been taking place at Monadnock Regional High School – much to the chagrin of some administrators and students, who don’t believe in free speech. They believe that you need to ask permission from your betters prior to speaking. (This is one thing they teach you in government school.) The anti-speech students, ostensibly on their own, have come up with a campaign of oppression to discourage their peers from taking information from freedom-loving activists – they call the campaign “Remain Respectfully Silent”. Recently, they have hung signs in the school hallways featuring the slogan.

Thankfully, some in the school support free speech and have made signs to counter the oppressors. Since it would have looked really bad for them to say no, admins approved the students’ signage. See the full photo by clicking the thumbnail on the right.

It’s crystal clear that the side of liberty and free speech is the right message, which is why the oppressors have resulted to taking the low road. While I was writing this article, I saw an update from MRHS student Hayden relating that someone has taken down her “Speak your mind” poster, within the first day of it being hung. It seems she struck a chord!

Thanks to Hayden, Apey, and anyone else who helped with this awesome project. Updates to come as they develop.
