As FreeKeene.com approaches its first anniversary, I would like to look back at the past year.
FreeKeene.com was launched in December of 2006 and has quickly become Keene’s #1 blog for pro-Liberty news, opinion, and activism. We are your Internet source for original liberty-oriented television content like Free Minds TV and the Keene Weekly News as well as FreeKeene.com’s own videos covering events involving Keene area activists. We also bring you audio of interviews and more. We have organized things to do like weekly social meetings as well as outreach events like Keene Freedom Fest. In addition, we ran an amazingly successful campaign for city council for less than $70.
That brings me to the point of this article. We have done a whole lot over the last year with next to no money. We have a handful of monthly contributions that total about $40 a month. Because FreeKeene.com is graciously hosted by HomelandStupidity.us, the website itself does not cost us money to operate. We are currently spending $30 a month advertising on the Ridley Report to recruit new activists to the Keene area. We would like to do more outreach and advertising, but we just can’t afford it. Whether you are already in the Keene area or somewhere outside, if you are enjoying what we’re doing here at FreeKeene.com please consider becoming a monthly contributor for as little as three dollars a month.
If you can’t afford it, continue enjoying the blog for free. If you can, your contribution can make a big difference for us! Contribute at: http://contribute.freekeene.com/
Thank you!

Join us for “Social Sundays” (formerly The Monadnock Porcupines Meet N’ Greet) now weekly on Sundays, starting at 3 p.m., at The Ceilidh House Pub.
The Ceilidh House does not have a waitstaff, so if you’re not hungry or thirsty there won’t be any pressure for you to order anything. All ages are welcome. We should be pretty easy to spot as some of us will be wearing name badges on lanyards, but if you have trouble finding us call 603-513-2449.

Keene Citizens Government Review asked this question of city council candidates: What specifically would you recommend doing to hold down spending and, thus, prevent high tax increases?
Here is my answer:
I’m not only interested in preventing tax increases, I’d like to actually lower taxes. Many politicians say this, but I’m serious. To prove it, I’m giving all of my tax funded paychecks back to sixteen lucky Ward Four taxpayers that vote in this election. There is only one realistic way to cut taxes and it’s to transition programs to voluntary funding methods, while voting down government increases. The truth is, no one knows how to spend your money better than you. A vote for me is one for personal responsibility!
On November 6th, if you are tired of the constant growth, increasing intrusiveness, and tax burden of government then you finally have a candidate worth voting for in the Keene municipal election, Ward 4. That candidate is me, Julia Miranda. So far, I am the only candidate who has signed the Small Government Pledge which says I’ll vote small government. You can see my signed pledge in full at vote.freekeene.com.
In case signing the pledge isn’t enough to prove that I’m serious about working to increase freedom, I’ll go the extra step of giving away my City Councilor paychecks. Councilors are paid $2,000 a year in $500 quarterly installments. I expect they will be taking taxes out of my check, so I will give away whatever is left. Four giveaways per year over four years means 16 taxpayers will be able to get a little bit of their money back and that I won’t be getting paid a dime to be your City Councilor!
I would appreciate it if you would vote for me. You can learn which Ward you’re in, where to go to vote, more about me, the Small Government Pledge, and Liberty, as well as contribute to my campaign at vote.freekeene.com . Please let me know what’s important to you. Feel free to contact me directly at 603-852-8482 and julia at freekeene.com.
Please vote for me on November 6th.
