Report from boot on the ground:
Only
residents of Concord will be able to testify at the school board
meeting, but you can expect activists rallying outside with signs that
read,
Textbooks Not Tanks
Let [Police Chief] Duval Hold a Bake Sale
It's not "For the Children"
In
the meantime, we're contacting the members of the Concord School Board
and ask that they oppose the BearCAT. If activists are City taxpayers
or past, present, or future parents of a child in the school district
they are sure to mention that specifically. We are also continuing to
contact the City Councilors and write letters to the editor.
When
you decide whether to send a letter supporting the Concord Police
Department's request to put America another $260,000 in debt, please
consider that every dollar borrowed for that purpose can't be borrowed
to keep teachers in the classroom; and every dollar borrowed will weigh
down our children's opportunities to live full and happy lives.
The
change we want to see must come from the local level. It is one thing
to drive a car saying, "I hope for the day that the school has all the
money they need and the military needs to hold a bake sale." It's
another thing to stand up for your principles.
What
kind of message does it send to our students that they are in constant
danger at all times of being attacked and that the military industrial
complex needs to be built up literally around them?
Why
do we want to literally terrorize everyone for a threat that, terrible
as it is, is so remote to be almost laughable? Concord is a safe
city. New Hampshire is a safe state. According to the National Safety
Council, your chances of being killed by lightening are 1:124,000.
Your chances of being killed in a terrorist attack are 1:20,000,000.
Please
tell the Police Chief that your board is not going to be used as a
pawn in this conflict. Better yet, tell him it is a waste of tax
dollars and send a message to other towns across the state and nation
that we are tired of having our money wasted down rat holes. This is
even worse than just burning the money. The attempt is being made to
make our community afraid. People that are afraid are easily
manipulated.
Watch
how easy it is to manipulate people and how terrorism preparation
works in a school setting to do just that. Do you think the DHS is a
wise steward of our tax dollars? Do you think this is healthy for our
children? Do you think this will lead to adults making wise decisions?

Thank you for taking your time to think this important decision through.
We
have also organized a petition drive for this weekend with donated
prizes for the people with the most signatures: two tickets to the Free
State Project's annual
Liberty Forum
(over $200 value), OUNCES of silver, bitcoin, books, etc. We will
provide the materials and help organize the teams. Volunteers just need
to show up. T
The final City Council vote is scheduled for September 9.
