I wish someone would have taped Russell's "Waiting-for-Big-Brother" protest.

Humor is a great viral marketing strategy!

5. It thoroughly confuses the bureaucrats.

3. ...and there's nothing they can do about it because they're struck with confusion.

It will be great to have Dave filmed.

Next demo at the airport is 1/17, if someone wants to film it for some reason.

Political Churches Questioned By Anti-Tax Protesters

CONCORD, NH - Opponents of New Hampshire's anti-tax pledge were surprised to see protesters in their offices today.  "The Pledge" is a promise by political candidates affirming that they will vote against sales or income taxes.  Since 1972 no New Hampshire governor has been elected without taking the pledge.  Church and political organizations such as the Episcopal Dioceses, New Hampshire Council of Churches of and the League of Women Voters have announced that they will fight for an end to the pledge.

Members of nhfree.com, a forum advocating lower taxes and smaller government, held silent protests at several locations around Concord.  The protesters, who refuse to argue, shout or even speak, planned to hold signs, distribute leaflets, and leave when asked.  Protest signs said "Thou Shalt Not Steal".  Leaflets pointed out that "Taxation is not much different from theft", and asked where Jesus recommended loosing hardships and losses on innocent neighbors.

The reaction of Church office workers ranged from giggling in disbelief to stunned anger.  The protesters received one short sermon, one threat to have the police called, and one curt demand to leave immediately. When they were asked to leave at each location, the activists backed out of the offices slowly, continuing to display their signs of disapproval outside the property.

I would have just given you freshly baked chocolate-chip cookies if you protested against me. Then we'd hopefully sit down and have a talk.

These guys threaten you and kick you out. It really shows you where they're coming from, and how much they care about liberty, which is apparently very little.

Thank you for putting yourselves on the line to do this!
