What should we do this year?

Also to be technical I think taxes are due April 18th.  ( 15th is a Sat)  And the 17th is a holiday(Patriot's Day)-- anyone want to go down to Concord and Lexington MA??) in MA so I think taxes are due on the 18th.
Not 100% of that.

Patriot's Day isn't a recognized federal holiday. The actual date, April 19, is also the anniversary of Waco and Oklahoma City.

It isn't a Federal Holiday but I think that the tax collection center in MA is closed.
I will check.

The 15th is the date that holds the symbolism.

[Russell Kanning]

Yea the 15th might have to do. If you go to the irs site it tells you the 18th or 19th ..... I forget.

Should we do one big honkathon or in each of our towns?

Will we miss any of the insanity if we don't do it at the very last possible minute?

[Kat Kanning]

Something at the IRS on the 15th, and the post office on the 18th?

This sounds like a winner.

Last year the protest that got media coverage was the one where we had just one guy acting on his own somewhere on the seacoast... and no one covered our much bigger protest in Manchester.  Go figure!

One idea to guarantee coverage is to get behind one of the news reporters with a sign when they do a live shot.  They would probably enjoy that since it spices up their story.  Ideally the sign will have the NHfree.com URL on it!   that can best be done in manchester I assume, at the main post office...but you could probably call channel 9 and find out where they're going to be.

I like this idea.  We could reenact "The Shot Heard Round the World".  With a big enough crowd and enough advance media notification, we could get some good publicity.  Also, I favor the 15th, both for symbolism and because it falls on a weekend this year.

We could reenact the battle, only instead of it being Americans vs British, it'll be Americans vs the IRS!!  One group will dress up like colonials, while the other group will dress in 3-piece suits and be armed with laptops, calculators and thick stacks of papers.  I think that could be hilarious and film-worthy.

Don't forget the jail balifs and biased judges! :twisted:

PS- This event might we a good time to try out any creative electronic/telcom related info relay/organization schemes hint hint wink wink.

[Dave Ridley]

I'd rather us do something inside NH than in Mass.

[PowerPenguin]

Wait what? How did MA get into this? There are identical facilities in NH...

Have the suits drive the manacled working people of america to a bonfire, with whips, and have them throw piles of photocopied Monopoly money into the fire.  FRN's have about the same real worth as Monopoly money, and the FedGov's use of the money has about the same productive result as just burning it.

Have Socialist / Communist Party members sit around the fire and cheer the senseless destruction of wealth and property.

You could have Uncle Sam sit nearby on the toilet, using the Constitution / Bill of Rights to wipe his fundament.
