9/11 for me is different. It`s a victory story.

Twelve years ago, I won a landmark First Amendment case: Gericke v. Begin.

After police in Weare, New Hampshire charged me with felony wiretapping for filming a late-night traffic stop, the First Circuit affirmed what should never have been in doubt:

You have a First Amendment right to record police performing their public duties--including during a traffic stop.

And here’s the part every public official should internalize: the court denied the officers qualified immunity.

That means an officer who retaliates against you for lawfully recording may be held personally liable--meaning they can`t just hide behind the town or department or taxpayers anymore.

Shiny badges don’t grant extra rights.

They should come with extra accountability.

Film the police.
Know your rights.
Use them--or lose them!

When I say the US national debt is out of control, this is what I mean.

Can we imagine and craft a better future?

The "American Dream" just got smaller (NH), and bigger (we can do this)!

What is "public health"?

A myth.

Accepting that will set you free.

Reclaim your sovereignty!
