Kal Penn and John Cho, aka Harold and Kumar’s recent visit to Keene State College has been documented by the school’s publication keene-equinox.com. My “forwarded” question to the campaigning duo, which was the subject of my article on the event, is discussed in the Equinox article. I am quoted as well. Curiously enough, the content of my question is not included. See the article from yesterday at the Equinox’s page:

Harold and Kumar Escape From Tough Questions

by | Sep 17, 2012 | 5 comments

John Cho and Kal Penn, known the world over as Harold and Kumar, spent yesterday and today touring the state’s colleges on behalf of the Obama reelection campaign. Of the eight stops on the two day tour, Keene was the only location in which the duo appeared together.

Harold and Kumar are an awkward choice for the young face of the Obama campaign. Their characters are a target of forces within the Obama administration which the president has done little to address. Campaigning in 2008, he had said that medicinal cannabis enforcement would be the lowest priority of his law enforcement. Under Obama, the United States has seen an increase in raids of medicinal cannabis clinics as well as increased enforcement against undocumented immigrants. While many expected change, the result was a slightly worse version of the same. (more…)

Heroic Attorney Joins Courthouse “Trespass” Case

by | Sep 17, 2012 | 3 comments

As you may recall, Derrick J, Kelly and I were all arrested at the Cheshire “Superior” court in late February for “trespass” after we were banned “forever” by Sheriff Dick Foote for singing to bureaucrats and asking them questions as they went to and from work. The trespass order is highly unconstitutional, and attorney Jon Meyer agrees and has taken the case pro-bono. Meyer has made a splash in Cheshire county before, with his win in the Bigfoot free speech case.

Now he has filed a Motion to Dismiss the charges along with a Memo in Support of Motion to Dismiss.

In court, judge Ed Burke gave the prosecutor 30 days to respond to the motion to dismiss. Next court date is a hearing on the no “trespass” order, November 14th at 9am in Keene district court. Here is the video from today’s hearing:

Update on KAC Raid – Response Filed

by | Sep 17, 2012 | 1 comment

If you’ve been wondering what happened after the raid on the KAC back in July, I have an update for you. Two months later I was sent this NOTICE OF VIOLATION from the city “Plans Examiner”, Gary Schneider and Gary LaFreniere, “Fire Prevention Officer”. In it, they claim that there is a “tourist home” being run at the KAC, and they demand it be stopped or else I’ll be fined $500 per day.

Even by their own rules, they have no case. The evidence they collected was from former tenants who no longer live at the property. That aside, my response to their NOTICE, calls the warrant into question based on the clear bias that district court judge Ed Burke shows against Free State Project participants.

Will they continue to aggress and give us the opportunity to go to court? Stay tuned for the latest.
