2010 NHFP Fundraising Drive
Sun, 01/10/2010 - 09:55 — katkanningThe NH Free Press needs your help!
I hear libertarians so often say that their goal is to educate people. I share this goal of disseminating the ideas of liberty. The way I've chosen to do that is to print the New Hampshire Free Press. There are certainly other effective means of doing this – The Ridley Report and Free Talk Live come to mind, being active in New Hampshire. The New Hampshire Free Press fills a different niche. I reach out to the people on the street, ones who are not necessarily “wired” in our modern world. A lot of people like to have something physical to hold on to, it makes the ideas more real for them. The paper currently is distributed to stores all around Southern NH, from Plymouth to Manchester to Keene. It is delivered to colleges in an attempt to capture young minds. It may be the only anarchist newspaper in the country.
Presidents Day week of lobbying against the War in Afghanistan
Tue, 02/02/2010 - 08:27 — russellkanningLast December, President Obama announced the latest in a series of escalations of the war in Afghanistan. When he took office one year ago, there were 32,000 troops in Afghanistan. During 2009, that number was increased to 68,000. When this most recent escalation is completed, there will be 100,000 U.S. troops and 150,000 contractors in Afghanistan.
In 2009 the death toll for U.S. troops tripled starting in June, and rose to a monthly high of 59 in October. General Barry McCaffrey, who studies our Afghan operations for West Point, warns that American casualties will reach 500 per month by summer.
The death toll for Afghan civilians has skyrocketed as well, particularly since the U.S. has radically increased the number of drone attacks which indiscriminately kill innocent civilians. Estimates are that 98 innocent Afghans are killed for every two terrorists killed by drone strikes.
