Civil Disobedience

[Russell Kanning]

You guys are "wicked good" (working on my New England phraseology) at breaking laws....we need more of your types in NH

[FTL_Ian]

Bad laws deserve to be broken.

[AllanHampton]

"Bad laws deserve to be broken."

That is true and bad legislation (laws) are broken everyday and people go to jail or pay a fine and will continue to do so until bad legialation is repealed. Citizens cannot repeal legislation they must force State Legislators to repeal State legislation and Congress critters to repeal federal legislation.

Then the letter to the Board (Exhibit A) and the initial press release (Exhibit B) were attached to the letter.

[KBCraig]

At least they're telling the whole story to the court. The judge knows from the outset that this is a political protest.

Don't go

[SethCohn]

This hearing will determine a few things...

You are holding a protest and have not gotten a permit... As they mention

13.  Upon information and belief, the respondent has not completed an application thirty (30) days prior to the event, nor has the respondent obtained the requisite permit from the City of Concord.  City of Concord, Code of Ordinances, Chapter 15, Section 15-10.

14.  Such application must be rejected or such permit must be revoked for just cause, including the purpose of the event, which is to violate state laws.

Since you know such a permit is unlikely (and shouldn't be as mentioned above since it's for unlawful purposes) to be granted, this is pretty much a given...

WHEREFORE, the petitioner respectfully requests that this Honorable Court:

A. Issue an order of notice for service on the respondent;

Done.

B. Schedule a hearing on the merits of the temporary relief requested on or before May 6th 2005; in the event the Court cannot schedule a hearing within said time frame, that this Court grant this petition for temporary relief ex parte;

Done.

C. Order preliminary and permanent injunctive relief restraining and prohibiting the respondent from engaging in any practice regulated by RSA chapter 313-A without the appropriate license. RSA 313-A:9, I.

D. Order temporary and permanent injunctive relief restraining and prohibiting the respondent from operating a salon without the direct supervision and management of a professional licensed under RSA chapter 313-A. RSA 313-A:9, II.

E. Order preliminary and permanent injunctive relief restraining and prohibiting the respondent from hiring or employing any unlicensed person to engage in a practice regulated by RSA chapter 313-A. RSA 313-A:9, III.

F. Order preliminary and permanent injunctive relief restraining and prohibiting the respondent from engaging in the instructing of any activity licensed by RSA chapter 313-A. RSA 313-A:9, V.

G. Order preliminary and permanent injunctive relief restraining and prohibiting the respondent from protesting without the requisite permits.

H. Grant such other relief as the court deems equitable and just.

The real question is this:  The law already DISALLOWS C-G... the only effect of a court rulling relief would be to add to the penalties...
In other words:  Hold the event and you'd also be violating a court order telling you not to break the law in the first place.

NOT LEGAL ADVICE: Go, keep your mouth _SHUT_, refuse to answer anything, and record it all with a tape recording... Invite the Media in fact...

[FTL_Ian]

Private video cameras should be in attendance as well...

The Exeter Newsletter reporter just left after taking a lot of photos of me pretending to give her a manicure.? Of course I gave her a cookie before she left - no protest or report is complete without one!?

It was pretty hard to stop laughing long enough for her to take any pictures.? It's probably rare that a photographer's hand should be present in a photograph, but it was in this case.? It should be interesting to see how this will be reported by the press.? I'm enjoying this!? ?
