On an event that Agent Kelly James posted to Facebook she writes that she is ”very excited to share the news that we will have music and dancing at the airport for Don’t Strip Our Rights Liberty Forum.” She encourages people to join her and Agent Derrick J to at the Manchester Airport to “attend, film, hold signs, hand out literature, dance, and of course – strip for our rights!”
So far the event has 35 people listed as going and 52 as maybe.
After the jump is the call to action for Don’t Strip Our Rights:
On the morning of Jan. 20th, I headed off to the Manchester airport to tell the TSA “Don’t Strip Our Rights” in response to the unnecessary and invasive strip searches of elderly ladies Lenore Zimmerman, Linda Kallish, and Ruth Sherman by TSA agents at NYC’s Kennedy airport in December. Wearing nothing but pink lingerie in below freezing weather, I passed out TSA related literature both inside and outside of the airport and attempted to connect with individuals who were traveling to and from New Hampshire; taking the opportunity to educate them about the immorality inherent in the TSA’s standard procedures, the oppressive and tyrannical federal government, and the ideas of liberty.
My demonstration of peaceful resistance was so well received that Derrick J. Freeman and I decided to hold another “Don’t Strip Our Rights” event on Thursday, Feb. 2, again at the Manchester airport. We handed out over 250 flyers in our underwear while avoiding any initiation of force against us by agents of the state. A Londonderry police officer even affirmed that doing this is our right as granted by the constitution.
This form of activism, for me, is not without a fair amount of risk. Due to the fact that I am free on personal recognizance because of actions I took on January 9th when I was arrested for chalking “Free Ademo” on the front of the Manchester District Court building; if I am arrested again for any reason, I could be caged on charges of contempt of court until March 22, which is my next court date for the chalking. In addition to the risk involuntarily imposed upon me and my actions by the state, Derrick J. is currently out on bail for actions he took in his “Give Peace A Chance” arrest last September. His bail conditions can be viewed in detail at LiveFreeOrDance.com, and the key condition is that he refrain from partaking in any action which results in another arrest.
After careful consideration of the inherent risk to reward ratio, Derrick and I each still decided to participate in this important anti-TSA activism. I hope that our actions show others that they too can stand up for their rights without having force initiated against them by the oppressors.
Therefore, I am asking for others to join me in telling the TSA “Don’t Strip Our Rights”. While I cannot guarantee the actions of law enforcement officers in cities across America, I can guarantee that if any force or caging is initiated against any peaceful person participating in a “Don’t Strip Our Rights” event, that it will be very public and that I will personally invest my utmost efforts and resources into making those initiating the force or caging look very, very bad.
In consideration of this fact of matter; if you believe as I do that TSA procedures are conducted in direct violation of inherent human rights and are therefore a crime against humanity, I ask that you take this as an opportunity to stand up to tyranny and oppression and make the choice to participate in this event at your local airport. And yes, I am available to travel to your city to participate in your event :)
