Another Anti-BEARCAT Letter to the Sentinel

NO BEARCATThe Sentinel publishes a letter from David Crawford about speaking out to city councilors regarding the BEARCAT:

BearCat: Call your city councilor!

Hundreds of Keene residents and businesses signed a petition against the BearCat. More than 30 letters to the editor since mid December, when it started.

An online poll done by The Sentinel with 87 percent opposed or wanting it to be reconsidered.

Locals Livid Over Scary “Bearcat” Armored Vehicle

Constitutional Arguments in Support of USNH v. Bradley Jardis and Tommy Mozingo

Excellent work by exceptional Attorneys Brandon Ross and Seth Hipple. I’d recommend their services highly.

PDF is here.

We started a second Chip-in as the first one ended before we intended it to. A small of $5 or $10 will help Tommy and I recoup our costs for the initial phase of the case.

Please consider donating if you haven’t been so kind already. 🙂
