Free Talk Live

Free Talk Live is a liberty oriented talk show syndicated out of New Hampshire. The hosts Ian and Mark are members of the Free State Project, a project with the goal of moving thousands of liberty activist to one state to better affect the politics of that state. The show is not broadcast in this area but you can listen to it via live stream and podcast. I have enjoyed listening to the show for the past few months and I thought I would pass along the recommendation to you.

One interesting topic on the show recently was a civil disobedience event that they were planning along with the Free State Project activists. To protest hypocritical New Hampshire state laws against gambling they are going to hold an open poker game out side in a public area. This is intended to be a challenge to the local authorities to see if they will arrest the participants. They intend to challenge in court the laws against allowing members of the public to take wagers with each other, while simultaneously allowing the public to take wagers with the state in the form of the lottery. Even if they are not successful in court, they hope to point out the hypocrisy of the situation to the general public with any media coverage they may garner.

I applaud these Free State Activist in these activities. Seeing as we in Maryland live in the state that has as its actual official motto “The Free State”, is this a type of activity that we could emulate? What public civil disobedience type event might the liberty community suggest? Please comment below.
