Years ago, the 1st edition of Dr. Mary Ruwart’s excellent book, “Healing Our World” was posted here in audio and e-book for FREE to download. It’s one of the best books to introduce someone to ideas of liberty and you can still get it free over on the Free Books page. However, it’s pretty dated – I recommend picking up the brand-new 4th edition! Here’s Mary’s pitch:
Do your friends and family think that liberty is cold-hearted? Dr. Ruwart’s 4th edition of her award-winning liberty primer, Healing Our World: The Compassion of Libertarianism, changes minds and wins hearts! This international best-seller illustrates how only liberty can enrich the poor, protect the environment, deter crime and defuse terrorism. Discounts for multiple book purchases make Healing a great gift for Christians, liberals, pragmatists and environmentalists. With updated references (over 1,300!) of how liberty works in the real world, new cartoons, and a foreword by Dr. Ron Paul, Healing will take your understanding of libertarianism to a deeper level, enhancing your ability to show how liberty is the key to universal harmony and abundance.

On Sept 22, 2015 the Keene Liberty Alliance hosted a Mayoral Debate between the three candidates who will appear on the October 6 primary election ballot: Rick Blood, Kendall Lane & Kris Roberts.
Moderator, Darryl W. Perry, asked questions submitted by voters and City Council candidates. The debate was aired live on Cheshire TV channels 8 and 10, and will be rebroadcast a few times between now and the election. If you don’t have Time Warner Cable, you can watch the debate on youtube.
In an editorial published in Sunday’s Keene Sentinel, the editors express gratitude towards liberty activists and the others running in the municipal election this year in Keene. With 16 people in the race for the five at-large council seats (including Free Keene bloggers Conan Salada and I) as well as contested ward seats and a three-way race for mayor, it’s definitely a record number of candidates for the near-decade I’ve been here.
Whether the increased candidates result in a greater voter turnout, as the Sentinel speculates, remains to be seen. People in Keene, like pretty much everywhere, are notoriously apathetic and they sit back and allow the politically connected to come out and dominate the elections here.
Of course, who can blame them? Life is distracting. There are bills to pay and mouths to feed. Meanwhile the government gets bigger and bigger, and so do the taxes. It’s totally understandable why young working families are driven out of Keene. Why fight city hall when you can just leave?
For those watching from outside Keene: If you love liberty, how many libertarians are running in your municipal elections? In New Hampshire, libertarians are running all across the state – Keene, Manchester and elsewhere. When you move here as part of the Free State Project, you can help build momentum and success here like no where else.
On September 22, the Keene Liberty Alliance will host a debate between the three candidates for Mayor of Keene. Both challengers, Rick Blood and Kris Roberts have confirmed their participation in the debate against incumbent Mayor Kendall Lane.
On the day he signed up for the election, Kris Roberts posted on facebook: “I would like to have three debates with everyone who signs up to run for mayor. One run by the Sentinel, one at the college, one live on channel 8 where people can phone their questions in.”
It is not yet known if the Sentinel or college will host a debate. However, the debate hosted by the Keene Liberty Alliance will be broadcast live on Cheshire TV at 2p, and will include questions from the moderator as well as questions from the viewing audience, who will be invited to call or tweet with their questions. Questions can be submitted via Twitter using #KLADebate or via phone during the broadcast.

The New Hampshire Union-Leader published an editorial, expressing disappointment that the Libertarian Party’s ballot access case lost in U.S. District Court on August 27, and suggested the prohibition on collecting petitions before the year of the election be repealed.
It is very likely the Libertarian Party will appeal.
