I posted about the Souter case to Pledgebank on two different pledges that I joined.  I noticed that other FSP members also posted to at least one of the pledges.  Remember, you don't need to pledge to post.

Here is one of the posts below mine-

"Hello all,

I have to admit that I'm new here. Just read all your posts this evening--interesting stuff. I'd just like to say that I'm a reformed-liberal-turned-libertarian who has lived in NH for the past twenty six years, and am now a 'friend of the FSP'. For all you fellow porcupines out there, I believe you'll find a pretty warm reception should you choose to make the move. The folks here generally tend to be very liberty-conscious--we take our license plates seriously :-)"

NH: Free Staters to protest at Supreme Court Judge's house

This went out to New Hampshire media yesterday: 

Weare, New Hampshire

U.S. Supreme Court Justice David Souter lives at 34 Cilley Hill Rd. in Weare, N.H.
Why do you need to know this?  Because that's where you'll be Sunday, July
17 at 1:00 p.m, those of you who want want to take a stand against his decision to reduce
your property rights. 

Ultimately, you could say there is - or was - an unspoken contract between the people
and their government.  You don't show up at our homes with bulldozers, and we won't
show up at yours with signs.  This month, in the already infamous Kelo vs. New London
decision, the court broke that contract, with David Souter's support.  He
voted with the majority, not merely to allow but to *support* vicious land grabs
against homeowners.

It's beyond our poor power to counter every evil this man has loosed upon us.  But
we *can* rally outside his home to support the efforts of Free Stater Logan Clements,
who has turned the tables on this robed tyrant by asking the city of Weare to let
him demolish the Souter home and build a hotel in its place.   We'll have signs that say
"Give Souter the Booter!"

What:  Protest outside U.S. Supreme Court Justice David Souter's house
When: Sunday, July 17 1:00 - 2:00 PM
Where: 34 Cilley Hill Road, Weare, N.H.
Why: To express our opposition to Souter's ruling against property rights in Kelo vs. New London.  And to support Free Stater Logan Clements' effort to fight back.  Clements has asked the town of Weare to give him Souter's propety so he can build the "Lost Liberty Hotel" there.
Who:  Activists from NHfree.com and whoever wants to come!  Projected turnout: 15

There's a great thread on Slashdot right now about overzealous Government regulating video games.
Of course, I've chimed in as usual with an FSP-related post

http://politics.slashdot.org/comments.pl?sid=157187&cid=13178963

As usual, any follow-ups would be much appreciated, slashdot is a very high-traffic site.
And of course, if anyone has Slashdot mod points at the moment, I'd much appreciate your boostership.

P.S. See y'all at PorcFest!

I posted the following as a bulletins on the Myspace Libertarian Group.

I created a profile for the FSP in the Intentional Community Database at http://icdb.org/index.php .  We're definitely in there now, but for some reason don't come up when you search by words such as "libertarian" or "New Hampshire". Hopefully there's just a time-delay with that. The Port Watson project is in there (libertarians on an island).

edit: It's working now. The FSP comes up on searches for "libertarianism", "capitalism", "private property", and "New Hampshire".

thanks for posting these, guys!

I just posted a juicy one to Slashdot... anyone with /. mod points, please, please mod this up!

Video Game Industry to Sue Michigan's Governor

My post:

Quoth the poster:
It's not the Government's place to tell it's population what they can, and can't play. Really, it's gone way the f*** too far.

Well... whose fault is that? Are you sitting on your butt and letting them? Huh?

Folks, please do more than just bitch on Slashdot about how restrictive the U.S. Government has become.

There is a real, active plan to make at least one single U.S. state as Free as possible. Moreover, it's a plan with actual results, in which thousands have signed up, and over a hundred free-market, free-speech, "free-Everything" activists (including myself) have already moved in and are making a difference right now.

It's called the Free State Project [freestateproject.org].

Armed New Hampshirites torch UN flag - again

Keene, New Hampshire
Dec. 18, 2005

Carrying pitchforks, revolvers and pistols, 21 New Englanders came together in southwestern New Hampshire Sunday for the Second Annual UN Flag Burn.   All smiles despite sub-freezing weather, most indicated they are members of NHfree.com, a local offshoot of the Free State Project. 

Demonstrators focused particular scorn on the UN's repeated efforts to support gun bans around the world...But a more subtle goal is to re-inforce New Hampshire's Live Free or Die reputation, drawing additional freedom lovers to move to the state.   New Hampshire has some of the loosest gun laws in America...and a tiny crime rate as the reward.

"This kind of thing helps get the word out," says activist Dave Ridley of Keene.  "If you are a freedom lover, there's a party going on in New Hampshire, and you're missing it." 

Since New Hampshire was chosen as a target for migration by the libertarian Free State Project, about 150 have moved and become increasingly vocal in the state's political process.   It's estimated that the two major parties in-state have only about 1000 hardcore activists each, and the Free Staters tend to be allied with conservatives on most issues.

New Hampshire bill aims to prevent Katrina-style gun seizures

January 2, 2006
Concord, N.H.

Concerned by perceived abuses of Federal power during the Katrina crisis, New Hampshire state reps are reviewing a bill which would criminalize certain weapons seizures - even if the perpetrators are Federal officers.  House Bill 1639-FN, prohibits the confiscation of lawfully owned and lawfully carried firearms during a state of emergency, making a felon of any law enforcement officer who attempts to seize such a firearm during a disaster.

The bill was sponsored by Rep. Paul Hopfgarten at the request of local Free Staters - members of a group trying to recruit freedom lovers to New Hampshire and turn it into an even more libertarian state than it already is (www.freestateproject.org).

The bill reads:   "Any law enforcement officer, person acting as a law enforcement officer, or other public official who confiscates or attempts to confiscate lawfully carried or lawfully owned firearms in this state during a declared state of emergency
shall be charged with a class A felony."

In the chaos following Hurricane Katrina, various government agencies - including Federal Marshalls - made systematic
attempts to sweep New Orleans of guns - even if that meant entering the homes of law abiding gun owners.  The move did not cause widespread outrage in most states.  But New Hampshire residents reacted by burning a FEMA flag in front of a local Federal building.  They also circulated a petition pledging resistance if such a move were ever attempted in the "Live Free or Die" state....a place where guns are part of the culture and gun laws are the second-loosest in the nation.   

Activists say whether it passes or not, this "Gun Protection Bill" is one more small thing they can do to try and protect themselves from disarmament at the hands of any government, during a time when they believe they will need their weapons most.
