Ian,
Could you please add this to the calender.
Chris
Cool, it looks like this first outreach date also coincides with the anniversary of the John Peter Zenger trial.

geez. this hasn't been well publicized. I was about to post that I couldn't make it since I didn't arrange to be late to work on Monday, but if we're only out for half an hour, like the freekeene post says, I can swing it. Where are we meeting in relation to landmarks? This is close to the central square right?
you guys could go barechested and each have a letter painted on your chest
F I J A
then put on a shirt and head to work :)
I would like to thank everyone that showed up today and would like to see everyone back in September (and maybe some others also) .
Between the (5) of us, we managed to hand out (51) FIJA fliers!!!!!
I wish we had a way of knowing how effective the fliers were.
The line that I used was very similar to Ian's:
"Good morning sir/mam, would you like some information on a juror's rights?"
Looking forward to Coconut's video.
Chris
Video Posted. Thanks to Jesse for being an assistant producer and voice over artist 8)
Wish I could have made it. My packing and re-organizing for my move took all day. I thought it would only take a few hours. Good news is I sorted through some stuph that was a huge mess and got rid of more clutter. I should be able to make most of the Keeniac events in the future.
Let's see, friendly skinny guys with brochures vs surly fat guys with guns. Who is more likely to be harassing people?
Thanks FIJA fighters!
Yeah those funny uniform wearers are giving fat folk a bad name. >:(
"Are you on county property?"
That's a wierd question. Maybe the worthless a-holes thought you would run away in terror if you knew the court house is owned by the county. (Whoever "the county" is?)
Nice work, guys! :D
This activism is so easy, there's no reason this shouldn't be happening in Manch and other places where there are more than 4 activists. C'mon guys!

Dave Ridley organized one of these here, once, but I haven't seen a second one. Is there anyone in Manchester who has time to organize and do something like this on a weekly basis? I could certainly attend at least every few weeks if not every time.
Honestly, this is something that with enough people, we could saturate the entire state—jury selection only happens once a week, and there are only ten counties and a handful of other courthouses we'd have to cover. We could literally get the nullification message out to every single juror in the state.

Double check that with your local court. Here it's once a month. Probably more in Manch.

That makes it even easier in some places then. Manchester (Hillsborough County) was where I got the "once per week" statistic from. Less populous counties must do it less.
what if you answered "no"? :)
Did anyone take photos of this event?

Did you see the Ryder Report on it? Other than the video I made that from, there are no images. I can get stills from the video though. Let me know generally what you want and I'll see if I can find it.
Yes I did, thanks :) Video and video stills don't work that well in the paper.
No problem. We'll do it again on 9/8. 8)

She was probably trying to run a story before that happens, to announce it, and using images from the last one. Just a guess.
Good idea, I'll add an announcement for the next one.
