Putting it in the vernacular of little people everywhere: “The worst has happened”.
The 4th Annual New Hampshire Live Free or Die Rally is quickly sinking into a quagmire of bureaucratic red tape, and with no 11th hour reprieve on the horizon, chief organizer Jean Coutu may have to cancel.
Billed as the All Free, Only TRUE First Amendment Rally in the U.S., this years Live Free or Die Rally is scheduled for August 21, 22 and 23.
“It looks like it’s finally over. Not just for us, but for the right to assemble, Coutu wrote Canada Free Press (CFP) in an email today. “Though I don’t agree with the ACLU on everything, almost every year the ACLU has gone after city hall bureaucrats to get our permits.”
The landscape has changed, dissent is being suppressed in America and now the ACLU is refusing to back the LFDR, in part because of the rally’s Appleseed Project Instructional Shoot Feature--even though it meets all state ordinances.
This is not a good sign for the scores of Tea Parties planned for July 4th.
Politically correct and compromised by stimulus money, the bureaucrats of town and city halls decide whether Tea Parties and rallies can be held in their jurisdictions.
Coutu sees it as the death of the right to assemble in President Barack Obama’s USA.
Below in his own words is a message to patriots he is hoping the Internet will take viral this weekend:
“Dear Patriots,

Find a rural venue close by and have the gig, anyway.
I live in the Ohio Valley, and most of the cities and large towns have some sort of permit process for public gatherings. But, travel a few miles in any direction and you can be out of the jurisdiction. Of course, there’s more planning to do (facilities, security, etc.) but at least no Big Brother hassles.
Permits are BS, for the most part anyway.
This is nonsense...anybody serious would go ahead and hold it anyway.....dilute the organizers...dare ‘em to lock up ALL the organizers.....
“Politically correct and compromised by stimulus money, the bureaucrats of town and city halls decide whether Tea Parties and rallies can be held in their jurisdictions.”
Somebody doesn’t understand.
From a search on “Jean Coutu”:
Jean Coutu, Chairman of the New Hampshire state C.A.A.C.P. (Citizens Alliance Against Creepy Politics).
Say what?...
Hi,
Jean Coutu here with NH the National 4th annual N.H. Live Free Or Die Rally & NH CAACP. The Rally IS ON!! It is the largest and only all free true first amendment in the U.S. doubling in size every year. Many have not heard of it, though thousands have attended, because the main stream media does not want the general public or sheeple finding out about it. Its a fabulous annual 3 day rally on 350 acres with 40+ Constitutional & Liberty Organizations that redress the hottest topic’s. Admissions, camping, R.V. & booth spots, fireworks, revolutionary battles, motorcycle show, appleseed revolutionary shoot ARE ALL FREE. Look forward to seeing you.
