Free State Project Crosses 14,000 Signers – Now Over 70% to the Goal!!

Free State ProjectCongratulations to the Free State Project for crossing the 70% mark with now more than 14,000 signers of the goal of 20,000. Despite the fact that the move hasn’t been triggered yet, (and won’t be until 20,000) the FSP has had tremendous impact with only 1,144 people in NH already. The aggressors are scared and have called the FSP “the single biggest threat the state is facing today”. If Rep. Cynthia Chase thinks it’s a big threat today, I wonder what she’ll think when the mover number hits 2,000, 5,000, 10,000 and so on. Remember, the amount of the 20,000 who are already here is only just over 5%!

We’re just getting started. If you love liberty and are willing to take action to achieve it, there is no better place to be than The Shire. Please join the Free State Project now and plan your move ASAP! There is much to be done.

Dave Ridley To Disobey Media Restrictions in Manchester City Hall on 4/8

Dave RidleyDave Ridley is back in disobedient mode as he prepares for a showdown with corrupt Manchester officials. From Spirit of Arcadia:

Dave Ridley vows civil disobedience at an April 8th demonstration after attempts by Manchester Mayor Ted Gatsas and a security guard to restrict him from recording in the very public lobby of City Hall.

On March 26th, Ridley was trying to interview local officials including Gatsas who told the independent journalist that he must get permission from the City Clerk’s office before recording. According to Ridley, “an enraged security officer shortly appeared and made similar demands.” He describes the upcoming demonstration:

“In the absence of some major unexpected event, there will be an anti-censorship demonstration outside City Hall starting 6 p.m. on Monday, April 8. Then I intend to enter the lobby *with* my camera recording and *without* asking permission. I’ll try to record, non-disruptively, the outskirts of a City school-committee meeting. I’ll likely remain until arrested or until 7:30 p.m…whichever comes first! I invite all peaceable folk to join me.”

Sheriff Rivera Withdraws Unconstitutional No Trespass Orders

riveraNewly elected sheriff Eli Rivera has done the right thing and withdrawn all the no trespass orders that were issued by his predecessor, Dick Foote. As you may recall, the orders were recently ruled unconstitutional by Keene district court judge Ed Burke.

After Burke’s ruling, on behalf of all those issued the letters, I wrote to Eli requesting he officially rescind the unconstitutional orders and issue an apology to the activists whose rights have been trampled by these illegal orders. I also asked him to issue a proclamation that his agents will respect the rights of those who wish to access the courts and that media will no longer be threatened for recording in the court lobby.

To his credit, Eli did quickly issue an official letter rescinding the no-trespass orders (more…)
