Listened to FTL for a few months.
Went FSP site.
Decided to move to NH.
Was directed to Kat.
Kat told me about this site.
Met a bunch of you for Pizza.

Oh my god... I am tearing up... think I am gonna have a little cry...

No wait, better yet, I have an idea!
School just started. I think the NH High School students need FTL flyers!
Headline: "What is the GOVERNMENT SCHOOL not teaching you!??!!"
It could leverage the material already on my TooL flyers.
Maybe also include the NHFree.com URL.
And along the border, the recycle symbol and the request to "please don't litter -- recycle or give to a friend when done!"
Maybe I can get some volunteers to help pass these out at the main NH high schools... in Manchester, Nashua, and Concord...

I find that talking to high school students about liberty is easy and effective. I have fun talking to the kids at work. Most of them don't really have political opinions, except maybe what they have heard their parents talk about.

Good idea, though your volunteers will have to be students, as you are probably aware.

I'm not so sure of that.
I was thinking of using the public areas near the schools, not the school property itself.

Thats a great idea, I use to do that when I was starting my concert production company.

We would hit one highschool in the morning, then hit a couple of college parking lots during the day, then hit another highschool when they were getting out, then hit the clubs at night.

FSP -> FTL -> FTL Forum -> NH Underground

with regard to the leafletting at schools idea, it might be fun to start inside the school right after the closing bell and work your way out as they force you to move.  You'd get twice as much attention from students if you were backing out slowly with a sign aimed at their bureaucrats.

On December 11th, 2004 Seth Cohn (in a Participants-only board) suggested the FSP forum was the wrong place to be discussing the U.N. flag burn.  He suggested Kat's NH Underground might be a better place (it was only a wiki then).
I tended to agree with him, as I thought NH Activists should have a place that would survive the FSP to plan their activism, and draw native residents.
http://forum.freestateproject.org/index.php?topic=8953.0
Dada asked where in NH activism should be planned.  Kat said she would set up this forum but worried it would take traffic from the FSP forums.

So basically, this is all Seth's fault.  Thanks Seth!

For myself, I would prefer to be outside the school and firmly within my established state-recognized legal rights for this particular activity. Furthermore I plan to check with city and school officials as to any guidelines they have for distributing commercial advertising.

SCOTUS has made clear that purely political speech is the least restricted, whereas commercial speech is the most restricted. In this case, I'll be handing out flyers asking young people to listen to a radio program and podcast, and visit a particular website (nhfree.com)
While the case could certainly be made that:
a) this is primarily political, not commercial, speech, and
b) I'm free to make speech of any non-defamatory kind on public property anyway
... the above are NOT challenges I which to invest my time and energy on at this point. I just want to get the FSP/FTL/NHFree message to a large number of NH high school students. I especially want to engage the young people who *don't* consider themselves politically active, who think of themselves as normal, mainstream kids...

... because I want to live in a society 10 years from now, where the normal, mainstream of working-age people know in their gut that government is force, government is inefficient, taxation is theft, one owns one's own body, and property rights are sacred.
