Dear folks at Concord P.D., Concord City Hall, the Attorney General's office and the NH Legislature:

Somewhere between 12:00 and 12:30 p.m. on April 23, I plan to commit an illegal act in Concord.  I will hold a puppet show, for profit, without government permission.  The show will be wholesome and unobtrusive.  But it will violate RSA 286:1.*   Conducting it appears to be a misdemeanor, with a maximum penalty of one year in jail.   Hopefully, it will draw some small attention to the neglected importance of repealing bad laws.

Earlier this year, the State House overwhelmingly voted down HB1347, a bill aimed at removing obsolete statutes.  There were problems with the bill's wording, but the fact remains Concord has declined to eliminate dozens - maybe thousands - of senseless laws which clutter our books at best and endanger our freedoms at worst.  The problem is milder in New Hampshire than most places.  But even here it's illegal to pick up seaweed off the beach.**  It's illegal to clean litter off the White Mountains without a permit.***  And, of course, it's illegal to grow hemp for even for the most constructive of purposes.

Some crazy state laws lie dormant and unenforced, others crowd our jails with victimless "criminals."   More appear upon the scene each year to confuse or strangle individuals and businesses.

After 200+ years of adding state laws (8,200 Kilobytes worth), it's time to reverse the curse.   It's time for Concord to start eliminating statutes instead of imposing them.   A sunset provision on all new laws would be nice.  A robust "repeal committee" might be an option.  Some statutes I can't argue with, but others hemorrhage tax dollars and prevent people from living their lives.  So I beg lawmakers:   Stop "protecting" us from peaceable commerce you don't approve of.  Stop saving us from G-rated puppet shows, rope-making plants and clean mountains.

We who cherish our vanishing freedoms are often told we should work within the system to achieve these ends.  But the system has just refused to carry out this repair.

Thoreau put it best:   "As for the means the state has provided me for changing it....they take too long, and a man's life will be gone."  So I will do what Thoreau did, and openly violate the law rather than wait for a repeal that may never come.  My intent is peaceable; I bear no grudge.  But I won't not stop until I am arrested or have amassed a thousand dollars in illegal puppeteering profits.   I will come back again and again until one of the above occurs.  And I urge other New Hampshirites to do something similar.  Don't mindlessly obey laws that harm the people, just because they are laws.

This event will occur outside the State House near Main.  So it may violate not only RSA 286 but also the prohibition against demonstrating without a permit on House grounds.  I'm ready to be flexible on this issue if we're not forced to request a permit, forced to leave the state house area or forced to stand in anyone's way.  But I'm prepared to face charges of demonstrating without a permit.

In any case, RSA 286 appears to ban unlicensed puppet shows for profit, not only on public property but everywhere in the state.  So it apparently would still be illegal to do this, even in your own home! 

Again, this is about more than the right to hold public performance.  It's about the need to reduce the estimated 100,000+ pages of often-harmful New Hampshire law, something we will never accomplish through conventional means.

Respectfully yours,


Dave Ridley

Video: NorthEastShooters.com to perform armed litter pickup

On April 26, trash-affected Hampton Beach is set to get a makeover from the open-carry activists at NorthEastShooters.com.   And maybe their presence will deter a crime or two...

Ron Paul NH campaigner wins GOP congressional nod

Richard Matthews of Operation Live Free or Die squares off against authoritarian Democrat Dutch Ruppersberger in a Maryland Congressional race sure to capture the attention of Ron Paul supporters.   But will Maryland's "Iraq war opponents" really vote for an Iraq war opponent?

Openly armed Free Staters clean litter in "troubled" NH neighborhood

Curious mainstream reporters drop by to get a look at Free Staters' fourth open-carry litter pickup event in New Hampshire.   But how are locals and media reacting to the site of so many holstered weapons?

I think this law is ridiculous, and a probable reason why all those anti-homeschooling representatives wouldn't give you an interview is that there is no logical defense of their position. And you saw a lobbyist with one of them, so that's probably why this bill keeps getting pushed: because lobbyists want it.

But Dave Ridley, why are you always telling everybody to move to Keene when you moved to Manchester, so obviously you must have thought that Manchester was a better place to live than Keene.

As for me, I looked at Keene and it looks like there are noisy cars everywhere and it looks kinda crowded. The best checks and balances against tyranny of majority and tyranny of government is the fact that the USA is very large and that there are a lot of rural areas where you can do a lot of what you call "victimless crimes" with nobody even caring, because there aren't very many police out there to care. Provided that the crimes are truly victimless, of course. Not just victimless from the point of view of libertarians.

Would *this* be good civil dis in NH: Outlaw puppeteering

Over at NHfree.com we are kicking around another idea for civil disobedience, in our quest to come up with the pefect act:  This idea is an unlicensed puppeteering event.
That's right:  In New Hampshire it's illegal to perform a puppet show for pay without getting a license from your selectmen.

It's important to get feedback from average nh residents (not just libertarians) before undertaking an act of civil dis.  What are your thoughts on this one?

Most likely what we would do is appear in front of the Attorney General's office and perform the show on the right of way nearby.  She's the prosecuting entity.  The puppet show would probably be a re-enactment of Ayotte's brave 2005 attack on Outlaw Manicurist Mike Fisher.  Probably we would make it a recurring for-profit occurrance in front of her office if no arrests were attempted.

You can find our Outlaw Puppeteer discussion and a copy of the law at:

http://nhunderground.com/forum/index.php?topic=13574.0

Do you support or not support us performing this proposed act of civil dis, and why?  Do you like it more, or less, than the TSA protest idea:

Of course it's a good idea for civil disobedience. The only part of it that I didn't agree with was some of the stuff that you were saying and implying about the Mexican-American War. And no, I don't agree with Thoreau either on it. The objective of the war was not simply to "kill Mexicans" as you implied it was. The war was started because Mexico was being belligerent and was interfering with the U.S. annexation of Texas, which at that time was a free republic which had won its independence from Mexico and wanted to be annexed by the USA. Mexico brought the war upon themselves by interfering with that process in a belligerent manner. If I had been in Thoreau's shoes, I would have gladly paid the money to support the troops who were fighting against Mexico's belligerent and unwarranted actions.

But nonetheless, even though I do not agree with the content of the puppet show, I will agree with your free speech rights to have the puppet show, and I think any law that infringes upon your free speech rights is unconstitutional and I agree with you that it should be struck from the books.

Also Dave I read some of the comments on these forums you've listed that were directed at you, and I have to say I am impressed at how you can keep calm with all those people swearing at you and calling you names on many of those forums, and on Ridley Report comments. I think it's unfortunate that there's such apathy now in this country towards these issues, and that some of these forum people and Ridley Report commenters took it out on you in the form of swearing and name calling when you tried to bring these issues to their attention.

FOR limiting 1st amendment rights at military funerals on public property

What do you mean by "'limiting 1st amendment rights' at military funerals on public property"?

I'm hoping that you're not advocating that leftists and liberals should be able to go to military funerals and heckle and cause disruption and disrespect all throughout the funeral. I don't know about libertarians, but I do know that whenever leftists and liberals say "I want 1st amendment rights at military funerals", that's liberal code speak for "I want the right to heckle all throughout the funeral, and to disrespect the serviceman who died at his funeral, and to create disruption and discord all throughout the funeral".

What liberals don't understand is that when a serviceman dies defending the United States, that is an extremely serious matter. And military funerals are the way that we as a society honor those who die for our freedom. So for them to heckle all throughout the funeral, for them to cause disruption and disturbance throughout the funeral is absolutely unacceptable. And they have absolutely no first amendment right, or other right, to do so. It is both morally and legally wrong for them to do so, and when they do it, they need to be punished.

The funeral protesters are actually often right-wing, fundamentalist Christian groups—not leftists and liberals.

Fair enough. Fred Phelps and his church have been going around doing this, and are the main culprits of this. Phelps has some screws loose in his head, and is in no way representative of the right-wing, or even of the religious Right.

Anyway, guess who prods him along when he does this, and screeches for his "rights" to do this. You guessed it, none other than leftists, liberals, and the ACLU crowd.

Anyway, this sort of thing needs to stop for the reasons I outlined before, and my hope is that Denis Goddard would be more reasonable than to chastise a Representative for voting for a bill to restrict this lunacy.

Luke, free speech we support is easy to defend.  Free speech such as protesters at a funeral or the preachings of groups like NAMBLA is something we all find vial yet it is every bit as much free speech as political speech, or anything spouted on say this forum.  Likewise it needs to be defended as a constitutional right.  Once we allow constitutional rights to be taken away because a majority finds it in "poor taste" or "offensive" then it allows that line to be moved to include other examples found in poor taste or that offend.

Personally I would rather have seen us move the other way and give MORE freedoms by allowing the consequences of the free speech to become legal.  In other words make it legal for me or someone to take protesters behind the woodshed for some schooling and teach them some respect.

We all? I don't have a problem with NAMBLA, and I find Phelps and his ilk to be more amusing than vile. Loonies like Phelps make the entirety of Christian fundamentalism look loony, which is a good thing in my opinion.

You're advocating committing aggression against someone for what they've said?

My answer to this is simple: Hold funerals on private property, deep enough within such that you're out of earshot of protesters out on the public sidewalk or street—and if they set foot on the private property in order to get closer, they're trespassing and can be dealt with accordingly.

My answer to this is simple: Hold funerals on private property, deep enough within such that you're out of earshot of protesters out on the public sidewalk or street—and if they set foot on the private property in order to get closer, they're trespassing and can be dealt with accordingly.

Sounds like a good plan to me.
