For the last month, I’ve been delighted to produce what I believe is the best daily 5-minute newscast anywhere. You’ve heard it on LRN.FM, but have you subscribed yet? Subscribing to Peace News Now is easy, cool, and free.
Or, if you prefer audio only, you can subscribe on iTunes by clicking this link.
Below is the latest episode of Peace News Now. I usually include at least one story emanating from the Shire in each episode of PNN. This episode features James Cleaveland of FreeKeene’s Robin Hood fame. Enjoy!
An excellently produced video report by Dave Ridley. He addresses the need for students to be prepared to document the increasingly closed environment of the government school system.
When you lose with a camera rolling, you win. If the video survives to become public, some of the abuse you suffered is proven. If the authorities snatch the camera and the video doesn’t survive, they show themselves to be thieves…That camera might not save the student. It might get her into more trouble initially, but it should give her some ethical high ground she wouldn’t have had had she kept the camera in her pocket. Whipping out that camera forces the authorities to choose between censorship and openness. Whichever one they choose, you win, as long as the public is well informed of what happened.
Free State Now was originally started by Free Talk Live co-host Mark Edge with a dynamic outbound calling program. I recently took up the torch from Mark and with the help of Will Kostric, we have expanded it to include 2 more aspects. It has been a great learning experience as we turned a idea into reality. I just want to thank Mark Edge once again for all of his hard work.
The Phone center aspect is working well after much practice and patience. The cloud-based virtual call center software required some trial and error as we learned how to most effectively implement it. We have a large call list from New York that we hope to start on soon.
Additional aspects to the campaign include an online component. The Affiliate Link program will allow approved users to have a unique URL for the Free State Project website which will track the results of those who click through it and possibly sign up. This will incentivize and encourage a new breed of internet marketing for the Free State Project. Early results show great promise as we have had 14 signers already in just a couple weeks of implementation.
The final new aspect focuses on in-person sign ups at liberty events and more. We are planning both easy and cost-effective day trips as well as high profile out-of-state tours. The first Free State Now Road Tour is slated for April and more details are going to be made public as the tour develops.
I put together this video to provide an update about the campaign. Take a look!
On January 30, 2013 the NH House of Representatives discussed the petition against Cynthia Chase. Representative George Lambert motions the House to hear the Petition for Redress against Cynthia Chase. Speaker Norelli rules that out of order, Lambert objects citing Part 1 Article 31 & 32 of the NH Constitution. Rep’s Vaillancourt & Richardson speak in favor of upholding the Chair’s ruling. (more…)
