Folks may recall that last year, the NHLA created the “Fire Brigade”, a volunteer liberty-emergency alert system.
Effective immediately, the Fire Brigade is activated in an effort to pass HB 774, legalizing medical marijuana.
This bill is likely to be voted on by the full House of Representatives this Tuesday. NH Common Sense, the NH Marijuana Policy Initiative, and the NH Liberty Alliance are working together on this effort.
The legislature is divided on this issue. It really could go either way. Whether the State of New Hampshire continues to persecute sick and dying patients, or grants them compassion and dignity, is going to depend on YOU. Not “someone”, not “them”, but YOU, individually and personally.
Are you willing to spend just a few minutes to make a real difference? (more…)

We here at Free Keene have big plans: Running pro-Liberty city council candidates, doing outreach to spread the message of Liberty, continuing to develop and bring you Liberty-oriented media like Free Minds TV, and more. We want you to be a part of it. How? Two ways.
1. Get active. Some suggestions: Attend our monthly meetups or anything else on the ToDo Calendar. Tell friends and family about Free Keene. Show them the 8 minute “Philosophy of Liberty” video. Turn them on to Free Minds TV, Free Talk Live, the Eric Scott Show, and the Keene Free Press. Get active in our Forum. And/or #2:
2. Support us with your dollars. Become a Free Keene supporter for as little as $3 per month. The things we’re doing do cost money in addition to time. Three dollars may not seem like much, but when multiple people are supporting us at $3 each, it can add up! Please visit http://contribute.freekeene.com to learn more and sign up!

As the guy behind the scenes who makes sure that Free Keene stays up and running, even though certain people would rather it didn’t, you all probably won’t hear much from me. (I have a site of my own to write for, and it takes up much of my time. Plus, I live in Manchester.) But on rare occasions I’ll have news for you.
So it is today that I’m happy to report that Free Keene is now listed as a news source in Google News. Several weeks ago, when the site first got going, I submitted it to Google News, and never heard anything back. But today, while doing a news search, I found Free Keene in the news results.
Being listed in Google News will bring the message of liberty in Keene to an international audience. Congratulations to all of you who write for Free Keene, for it was your writing, more than anything I did, that made this possible.

I got my picture in Tuesday March 20, 2007’s Keene Sentinel, looking very somber with a “Eminent Domain = Stealing” sign. I didn’t care much about the expansion vs roundabout issue, until they brought eminent domain into the mix. Now as I understand it, Tom Eaton’s funeral home sits on a lot with a funny little peninsula that due to set-backs is unbuildable. Tom objects to the expense and inefficiency that has plagued this project for years. So, he is unwilling to sell his property to the city for this boondoggle. This man holds the lynch pin for the whole project! Well not really. He holds the lynch pin for the most expensive way to do the project. I for one support him and I will go so far as to call anyone that wants to force him to sell a THIEF!. Your mom taught you not to steal and being the government doesn’t make it OK. (more…)

Sometimes you have to wonder what some folks under the golden dome in Concord are smoking. Why do so many reps have an “I have to save the world” complex?
What I’m talking about is one of the stupidest bills I’ve ever seen-a bill to tax candy. Not just tax it, but create an entire new taxation system supposedly to fund education but it seems to your humble narrator that the costs of compliance and enforcement will be far greater than the revenue.
