I was just thinking that. This is someone we really need to help.

I would guess that he doesn't want any help right now, but the more and better publicity we can get them would be good.
I called and left a message at their home. I might call her office later.
We would like to print their side of the story in our paper. So if you run into a press release or any info from their camp, send it our way. :)

I think that would be considered help.  Also it would be helpful to let them know we are here, invite them to the forum, and ask them to contact us if we may be of any assistance.  (Attending trials, etc.)

They have their own support network......I don't think they will feel the need to join this one.
But it will be good to get the word out to more people.
The government wants your money ..... and they will arrest you if they don't get it.

I bet their support network would like to know about us!  Do post details if they call you back.

They tried to call back, but I was on the phone I guess.

Now THESE people should be using Article 10 as their defense (like the Concord 8). Refusal to pay taxes could be considered another "means of redress."

Morse said recent improvements to the Browns' home made it "essentially a fortress."

Now tell me, how is this against the law, any law??????

Magistrate James Muirhead disagreed and released both Browns on the condition that they relinquish all of their firearms,

Wonder if the judge has heard about Drega ?

Yeah, It'd be amazing if any of us could help in some way. We'd get stronger, and the fed would become more irrelevent.

If it's true that he can get 300 armed people to guard his house, that would make for some amazing pictures.

I'm thinking that a jury should like to hear all of the defence's arguments - including what the government calls "shopworn" & "frivolous" arguments - wich the government will surely try to exclude.  I think that a judge should let defendants make there case.  I wonder if this judge will.

Wouldn't it be nice if a "fully informed" jury sits on this case.

Thanks Kat.

I've met ed twice and his wife once.  He's kind of narrow in his approach and hard to support because he doesn't like publicity stunts, but now like it or not he's getting publicity! 

One thing at least which is good about this is that it gives more people the idea that NH is full of people like Ed Brown.  And in most respects, unless I'm missing something, I wish it were.

My guess is the thing he would appreciate most based on what he's told me is attendence at well-dressed and polite attendence his trials and court hearings.

Well we can be sure of one thing.  And that is that the government will be "packing" the courtroom with well-dressed agents - of every variety.

There is a reason why they do that, and it (sometimes) works for defendants to.

My calendar is marked: July 18.
Thanks Kat.

Yes, and a FIJA flyering is so easy.  Show up 30 before jury selection, preferably with a handful of activists.  Have about 50-100 FIJA trifolds printed up.  Hand them out to incoming potential jurors.

Simple.
