Every year the Free State Project puts on the Porcupine Freedom Festival (Porcfest) in Lancaster NH at Rogers Campground in the middle of the majestic White Mountains.

It begins on the far side of the campground, winds through Agora Valley, and ends at the main field for the group photo of all the attendees.

As the presidential campaign for 2016 heats up, more presidential candidates will make the mistake of visiting Keene. Last month it was Bernie Sanders. This month, it’s Chris Christie, the well-fed governor of New Jersey, one of the most corrupt and awful of all the fifty US states.

The place was at overflow capacity while liberty activists (and former state rep Steve Lindsey) waited outside for Christie’s arrival for a chance to ambush him with tough questions, as has become the tradition since 2012 here in Keene. Here’s what happened:
