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.
