FSP News - May 2005
It's time for the monthly roundup of Free State Project
news!
The FSP is now sponsoring Pro-Freedom Talk Radio airing 6 days a week. It's
called "Free Talk Live". They are on in 5 markets right now including Kansas
City and even parts of New Hampshire. The talk show's hosts are all Free State
Project Participants and they promote the FSP at least once an hour. If it's
not on in your area, you can listen to the show via their Archives, Podcasting,
or Live Streaming at
http://freetalklive.com If you'd like to see it get picked up on one of
your local radio stations, contact the host, Ian, at ian@freetalklive.com,
and he can give you more info about how to help make that happen.
Several new items are in the FSP Store -
a new FSP brochure, two new magnets, a new section for NH Merchandise
(currently featuring a discount
subscription to NHToDo magazine), and a
partnership with Netflix (for DVD rentals) so you can rent a variety of liberty minded movies no matter
where you live.
The FY 2005 Profit & Loss statement is now
available. Volunteers are always needed for a variety of jobs small and
large, so if you'd like to do more to help foster Liberty in your Lifetime,
just contact
us. If you can't give some time to help,
donations are always welcome and your contribution will support print and
online advertising, outreach to other pro-freedom organizations and their
members, as well as basic infrastructure like the FSP website. For more ways
you can help, see our Volunteer
Center
We never know what sort of donations or help our participants might be able
to arrange. For example: A generous donor arranged for the FSP to have radio
ads on a top-40 Internet radio
station. The audience is nationwide/worldwide. The spots are 1-minute
spots and will begin airing on Saturday, 20 times per day. Thanks to the
station and the donor for providing yet another outreach method to all of the
liberty-minded people out there.
Amanda Phillips wrote a brief report on her talk at the LP
Minnesota Convention. If you'd like to see the Free State Project promoted at
an event near you, just let us know! We had a presence at FreedomFest in Las
Vegas, thanks to Dan McGuire, and we have plenty of
upcoming events on the calendar as well.
The Jan/Feb '05 issue of American Handgunner magazine contained a great
article Can a Porcupine Save Your Guns? by FSP vice-president Evan
Nappen. The
article is now available in a nice
PDF to print and share.
On May
9, Mike Fisher, an FSP participant, violated NH's licensing laws at the State
Board of Barbering, Cosmetology, and Esthetics in Concord in an planned act of
civil dis-obedience. There's been a lot of
news coverage, much of it positive.
Have photos of an local FSP event, or even just you wearing an FSP t-shirt
in public? Send them to us and we'll include them on the website or future
emails!
The 100+ early movers are already making waves and news regularly, and as
more activists move every month, the number of activities that seek to increase
liberty will only grow. The Welcome
Wagon is always ready to help visitors to the Free State meet people and
see the sights, as well as help new movers get settled in. Just let them know
your plans to visit!
Speaking of visiting, The
Porcupine Freedom Festival is fast approaching - July 23-31, 2005! Keep your
eye on the We'll Be There
list. Is your name on it? We're now at 225 people, and the list continues
to grow! Have you made your reservations yet? Roger's Campground and Motel
will almost certainly fill up, especially after readers of Reason and LPNews
find out about the Porcupine Freedom Festival! This will be the best, most
exciting liberty event in 2005. Don't miss it! All the information that's fit
to print can be found here:

Want more frequent emails of FSP news? While we're going to maintain a
roughly "monthly" mailing to everyone, for those of you who want more regular
updates from the FSP, we've created a new mailing list just for you. If you
subscribe, you'l get more emails as news events happen, weekly or even more
often.
