Saturday. April 25:
Last night I was called down to see Dr. Siegal. He’s a very nice man in his late 40s. Last week was the first time we met. He gave me a physical, and I answered some medical questions. He understood the basics of what I am doing and wished me the best.
Last night when we met he asked, “What are you still doing here?” At our last meeting we discussed my plan to give my name, before discovering that there was in fact no standing in NH law requiring a name to identify someone. That’s why fingerprints and photographs are taken. In fact, the opposite is true, there are to be no penalties for someone who does not provide a name. (more…)

Ivy and Marc Stevens have worked up a writ that you can fill out and file to help get Sam out of jail. The more that are filed, the more likely the superior court judge will look seriously at Sam’s case. Here are her instructions from the discussion thread on the FK Forum:
Download it. Put your name in the “your name” spots. Make sure the dates throughout it are correct (especially at the bottom in the signature line, the certificate of service, and the affidavit). And file them at Superior Court right there in Keene on Monday.

Sam called Dan Mitchell on WKBK from jail this morning to discuss his political imprisonment. Listen as statists call in afterwards to show how inhumane and confused they can be. Learn how to contact Keene-area talk shows on the Free Keene Forum.

The heroic photojournalist Carlos Miller (who himself was arrested for photographing the police in public) has blogged about Sam’s arrest and imprisonment, Andrew Carroll, as well as the Free State Project and more. I’m sending him a donation for his legal defense fund.
Yesterday, LewRockwell.com’s Manuel Lora also blogged about Sam’s situation. Plus, NolanChart.com’s Steven McDuffie has also covered the situation in a popular article. Thank you, Manuel and Steven.
If your favorite blog or news organization hasn’t covered Sam yet, please encourage them to do so!

I have finally spoken with Sam. Turns out my upstairs phone was off the hook slightly for three days, which is why I’d not heard from him. He is still on a hunger strike. He had been trading his food for things like stamps until recently. A new jail guard handing out food would ask Sam if he was going to eat it and when Sam said no, the guard would deny and is denying Sam the food.
Also, the jailers apparently don’t turn on the air conditioning until June, so the inmates suffered in sweltering heat in the upstairs facility these past few days, and that will only get worse over this next month. More adventures coming in his blog posts here at FreeKeene.com and also Sam is expected to call in on tonight’s Free Talk Live.
Sam has requested that those sending books should send them to the jail library and is very appreciative of all the letters he’s receiving through mail-to-jail.com
