On Thursday, June 21st, roughly sixty New Hampshirites and visiting tourists will gather outside Gunstock ski resort for a candlelight ceremony.   They're protesting Washington's recent show of force in Plainfield.

Starting around June 7, U.S. Marshals brought snipers, armored vehicles and Massachusetts police into the rural New Hampshire town, and into the nearby city of Lebanon.  Their small army seized a once-prosperous dental office, placed camouflaged gunmen in the Plainfield woods and "evacuated" the innocent neighbors of tax protestors Ed and Elaine Brown.  They blocked roads, sealed airspace, barred reporters and pressured corporations to stop doing business with the Browns.

Then they tasered and detained Danny Riley, an unarmed pedestrian and Brown supporter who discovered Federal gunmen hiding on the Brown property.  Riley claims they also opened fire when he fled, and that they've threatened him with forty years in jail for telling you his story.

All this because Washington covets the assets of a New Hampshire couple and treasures its partial control over your finances.

In months preceding, Federal operatives have taken other controversial measures which have harmed innocent persons:

They've shut down Elaine Brown's successful and unique dental practice.
They've at least briefly put all of her employees out of work and cut off patients from access to her service.
They've threatened New Hampshirites with prosecution if they deliver food to the Browns.
They've co-opted the docile state police force into their service.
And they've sent *you* the bill for these costly endeavors, all aimed at scaring you into filing the hated 1040.

But something else is happening:  Angry phone calls, pouring into Federal offices by the thousands.  Neighbors, and strangers, coming to the aid of the beleaguered couple.  Demonstrations.  Activists, mobilizing and securing new bonds of mass communication, raising a voice of opposition which rings out even in the dispatches of the national press.   

You're invited to join or witness this phenomenon first hand at our vigil on Thursday.  It will go on regardless of weather. Media outlets unable to send a team may be able to grab images and info from the links and contacts above.  We look forward to seeing you at Gunstock!

Please remove my number from it, since it has no service, and it's 401, not 404. That's why I said it twice.

Shoot, does that mean it's going to be canceled?  I might actually be able to make it.   What about those little drink umbrellas over the candles?

[Kat Kanning]

No, it's not cancelled.

[Raineyrocks]

No, it's not cancelled.

Oh goody!  If Rick can work at home tomorrow we're coming!  I'll bring all the umbrellas I can find just in case.   Is Gunstock real big, is there a specific meeting place?
