Dada in Federal Court 7/17 .... leads to 4 days in jail

[Kat Kanning]

I just made a t-shirt with iron-ons from Walmart.  But...I have your iron.

Authorities have scheduled a court date related to my citation for handing out "handbills" at the Nashua, NH IRS office.  As most of you probably already know, I entered that office in mid September and did a silent demonstration in support of Russell Kanning.   This involved handing leaflets to IRS workers.

The date is currently set for 11/13 at Fed. Court in Concord

I am given the choice to pay a $125 fine, appear in court or face arrest.  I intend to appear in court.  It would be a great honor to me if a respectable number of you were to join me outside the building that day, to demonstrate against whatever you want to demonstrate against!  Hope to see you at:

9:00 a.m.
November 13
55 Pleasant St.
Concord, NH

My appearance inside is set for an hour and a half later.  Maybe after court we (or depending on how things go  just *you* guys - LOL) can do some more demonstrating and then get together for lunch.  Maybe we can eat at the same restaurant as our rulers.

We should not worry too much about whether they change the date of the appearance.  If the change is far in advance then maybe we'll reschedule the protest.   If they make a last minute change we can still demonstrate just as happily.

Oh, what fortuitous timing!

I will be in NYC on the 16th and I was trying to figure out if I could get in a visit to NH either before or after that. So I just might be able to be there.

Can you reschedule that for a Tuesday, Dada?  No?  Oh well.   

[Dave Ridley]

I'm not going to attempt a reschedule probably...however for those who can't make it there is plenty of other stuff you could do that would be just as helpful.  I'll post some ideas on that later.  For now one thing I need is your ideas how to get the most bang for the buck...

What would you do if you were me going into court charged with petitioning the government for a redress of greivances? 

[Tom Sawyer]

Dress like Thomas Jefferson?

[Dave Ridley]

does anyone have an NHfree.com hat I can wear?

[Braddogg]

I'm not going to attempt a reschedule probably...

Heh, I didn't think so; I was kidding.

We the People are doing something like this on November 14th. They're asking 100 people to dress up like V for Vendetta and stand outside the White House while one person goes inside with a list of greivances they have.

There's a 90% chance I'll be able to be there to support you. I just wish it were under more happy circumstances.

#1 Get a lawyer. You have to know how the opposing player's tactics if you want to win any strategy game, and a lawyer will tell you the State's likely next move. INVALUABLE.

#2 Read, and re-read, the Bill Of Rights of the US Constitution, and the NH Constitution Bill of Rights, especially NH Articles 13, 14, 15, 20, and 22. TAKE A COPY INTO COURT WITH YOU. Force yourself to have read and studied these as if you were about to take the biggest college-entrance exam ever. Because you are.

[Rocketman]

Dada, for whatever it's worth, I totally agree with Denis.

I will be there to support you, man.  Promised my folks I'd be home for Thanksgiving so no continuances, okay?

isn't the point to not make an argument at all like Russell and Lauren because you don't recognize the legitimacy of the federal government?

[Russell Kanning]

I would recommend not showing up at the evil government gang's court.

[Tom Sawyer]

Yeah Dave you should spend a thousand dollars to a mouth piece to protect you from that 120 buck fine.

Fuck the evil lying bastards. They don't care about any damn constitution. Have fun with the process, your paying for it. Pay your fine in pennies after you drag it out as long as you can.

[d_goddard]

Pay your fine in pennies

Now THAT'S good advice

[Quantrill]

It's probably a good idea to get a lawyer.  You must KNOW THE LAW.  Impress the judge or piss him/her off.   Know what is constitutional and what is not.

I have a habit of fighting speeding tickets and one time I blew away not only the prostitutor, but also his holiness the judge.  I pulled out court cases, legal terms, etc...  I challenged the cop reading from his citation as "hearsay" and even named the case that affirmed my objection.  The prosecutor wasn't aware of the case.  The judge was and said I was right, but overruled my objection anyway.  Sometimes you just can't win. 

My advice, have fun with it, but don't get charged with contempt of court.  Try to pay in pennies, dress "patriotically"  (a la T. Jefferson), know which previous court cases support what you've done, etc...    But at the end of the day, you could probably do more good out on the streets than in jail for going overboard.

Good luck to you.  If I was in NH I'd love to stop by...
