So a gay marriage bill was passed by the house and the senate. It’s up to the governor now and New Hampshire could be the next state government to grant permission for two individuals to partake of a contract between them that’s really no one else’s business. Good news, I suppose. As long as the government is involved, they shouldn’t discriminate. But I hold to what I’ve said for some time now. Even if I were heterosexual, I wouldn’t touch a government marriage with a ten foot pole.

A medical marijuana bill is also now awaiting the governor. Also good news, though it’s yet another personal matter they should never have butted into in the first place.

History repeats itself as another peaceful activist is imprisoned indefinitely simply for not actively validating and participating in a system he doesn’t believe in. The video below gives a nice summary of the story of reporter Sam Dodson of the Obscured Truth Network.

Regardless of whether you agree with Sam’s motivations, do you believe that a punishment should fit the crime? Is life in prison a just sentence for remaining silent?

Part 3 of rose-colored glasses.

When the cops beat an innocent man for standing up for his rights at a checkpoint, a Baptist pastor no less, you know you’re in a police state… unless you’re wearing some seriously amped up rose-colored glasses. Checkpoints, people. Checkpoints inside the U.S. where everyone is stopped without any sort of suspicion, much less reasonable suspicion, and asked for their papers. Is this not sounding disturbingly familiar?!

Protest & Vigil for a Political Prisoner

by | Apr 19, 2009 | 1 comment

The first video is a bit of footage from a protest at the Cheshire County Correctional Facility where Sam of the Obscured Truth Network is being held as a political prisoner. He declined to obey an order to stop video recording in a public lobby of the Keene courthouse and went limp and refused to cooperate with his kidnappers. The protests seem to be a moral boost for the prisoners there, many of whom are there for victimless crimes. The second video is footage from a candle light vigil held in Sam’s honor. Sam, may you soon be free so you can continue to speak the truth.
