That a liink to text or a video? I have a 56 k mo dumb and the page won't load.

I read about Free Staters coming here. Most of them moved into around Peterbourgh.

Their ideas are very left, and the attraction to NH is the smaller size and the lesser people.

I am none to sure what they call Freedom is really.

The video is 26,917,989 bytes. On a 56 kbps modem running at full speed it would take about 80 minutes to download. Your throughput must be roughly half that.

Maybe you're not familiar enough with the Free Staters' work, Mac. Take a look at this link to their forum, with all the new legislation proposed:

Lots of hot, pro-liberty bills in NH legislature

I don't agree with some of the things they want (or do), but I have no problem with the majority of it. And I commend them for putting so much effort into trying to keep the state free.

Just one thing bothers me about the video, which was otherwise good... it kind of made it sound like the Free Staters are all Libertarians, which isn't true. They don't care what party you belong to (last I knew anyway), they only care if you want to help keep NH free.

From what I've seen of these so-called "Free Staters" in Keene; they're a bunch of whiny kids more concerned with smoking pot in public, open carrying firearms and a few ugly topless women.

Then again these are the ones giving the other ten percent of the "Free Staters" a bad name. http://bestsmileys.com/lol/2.gif (broken link)

Yeah, that's one of the things I don't like. If not for those people, I bet they'd have a lot more members.

I noticed that too when reading about it. Not something that's good for public image, imo.
