Forums discussing NH freedom movement

[Dave Ridley]

Do you want to spread a piece of info without relying on reporters or even on the liberty media?  Here's how I've been doing it for eight years at no expense.  You can too.  Join some of these discussion boards and talk up your issue or your news!

Good national web forums:

http://www.libertynewsforum.com/   still a good place to post as of 2012.  Not libertarian, just another web forum. lots of complaints about my posts being too NH-centric and that I don't follow up enough.   Standby sam sada  Still active enough to use, in 2016.
http://FaceBook.com - You'll do best if you have a lot of FB friends I guess.

Active New Hampshire web forums:
(You should probably be in NH to post on the non-libertarian NH forums.  And its best to weigh in on topics of the day rather than bringing up Free State propaganda out of the blue)

Armed New Hampshirites torch UN flag - again

Keene, New Hampshire
Dec. 18, 2005

Carrying pitchforks, revolvers and pistols, 21 New Englanders came together in southwestern New Hampshire Sunday for the Second Annual UN Flag Burn.? ?All smiles despite sub-freezing weather, most indicated they are members of NHfree.com, a local offshoot of the Free State Project.?

Demonstrators focused particular scorn on the UN's repeated efforts to support gun bans around the world...But a more subtle goal is to re-inforce New Hampshire's Live Free or Die reputation, drawing additional freedom lovers to move to the state.? ?New Hampshire has some of the loosest gun laws in America...and a tiny crime rate as the reward.

"This kind of thing helps get the word out," says activist Dave Ridley of Keene.? "If you are a freedom lover, there's a party going on in New Hampshire, and you're missing it."?

Since New Hampshire was chosen as a target for migration by the libertarian Free State Project, about 150 have moved and become increasingly vocal in the state's political process.? ?It's estimated that the two major parties in-state have only about 1000 hardcore activists each, and the Free Staters tend to be allied with conservatives on most issues.

New Hampshire bill aims to prevent Katrina-style gun seizures

January 2, 2006
Concord, N.H.

Concerned by perceived abuses of Federal power during the Katrina crisis, New Hampshire state reps are reviewing a bill which would criminalize certain weapons seizures - even if the perpetrators are Federal officers.  House Bill 1639-FN, prohibits the confiscation of lawfully owned and lawfully carried firearms during a state of emergency, making a felon of any law enforcement officer who attempts to seize such a firearm during a disaster.

The bill was sponsored by Rep. Paul Hopfgarten at the request of local Free Staters - members of a group trying to recruit freedom lovers to New Hampshire and turn it into an even more libertarian state than it already is (www.freestateproject.org).

The bill reads:   "Any law enforcement officer, person acting as a law enforcement officer, or other public official who confiscates or attempts to confiscate lawfully carried or lawfully owned firearms in this state during a declared state of emergency
shall be charged with a class A felony."

In the chaos following Hurricane Katrina, various government agencies - including Federal Marshalls - made systematic
attempts to sweep New Orleans of guns - even if that meant entering the homes of law abiding gun owners.  The move did not cause widespread outrage in most states.  But New Hampshire residents reacted by burning a FEMA flag in front of a local Federal building.  They also circulated a petition pledging resistance if such a move were ever attempted in the "Live Free or Die" state....a place where guns are part of the culture and gun laws are the second-loosest in the nation.   

Activists say whether it passes or not, this "Gun Protection Bill" is one more small thing they can do to try and protect themselves from disarmament at the hands of any government, during a time when they believe they will need their weapons most.

Here is a response the videos received... thanks for spreading the word Dave and everybody else?

http://www.politicscafe.com/forum/index.php?board=7;action=display;threadid=2562;start=0#lastPost

Well I watched both videos and I am quite impressed.? Like I wrote above I am not sure if it is the type of protest I would personally be comfortable participating in but I am glad that there are those who do.? Additionally I like the spotlight it brings on the issues.?

To be fair though I should note I have never been a "protester" in the sense of making a public physical statement.? I prefer to argue in a classroom setting, or through the use of research.....? letters to the editor, contacting legislatures, financial contributions and of course with my vote.

Good job.

[Kat Kanning]

Nice!
