Free Ward Bird now on Facebook
December 13, 2010
Ward Bird is a New Hampshirite who has been jailed for 3-6 years for defending his property. His incarceration has sparked outrage here in New Hampshire and people are flocking to support him. In addition to the website, Free Ward Bird, there are now three Facebook pages dedicated to his cause.
Here are the links: here, here, and here.
If you are a freedom loving American who believes in the constitutional right to keep and bear arms please take a little time out of your day to visit Facebook and voice your support for Ward Bird. We must keep the pressure on until Governor Lynch signs Ward Bird’s pardon!

Good looking out on this one. I joined the first two pages. It is a sad day when we have stuff like this going on and it gets no real attention. Great job following up on this issue, too.

I was wondering if anybody would catch that pun, it wasn’t really that bad was it? 🙂

Quite a story I’m surprised I haven’t heard of it yet. I read the original article you wrote. Shared on Facebook. Thank you for a well written piece. I can’t believe a jury would go against testimony from his wife saying he didn’t wave his gun at the woman who came on to his property.

Thank you for the compliment and thank you for sharing this on Facebook! It is important that we get the word out to as many people as possible. This is a travesty of justice!

Has your governor said anything on the subject or is he hoping that people get tired and the issue will die? This is a frigging outrage!

My governor has a habit of not taking sides on controversial issues and this is no different. He remains non-commital on this issue. Here is what he said on Facebook:
“Thank you for your comments on Ward Bird. I cannot overturn or reduce a prison sentence. NH’s constitution requires both the Governor and Executive Council to consider pardons. A person seeking a pardon submits an application, which is reviewed by Governor and Council to determine whether to hold a hearing. If a hearing is granted and held, the Governor and Executive Council would then vote on the request.”
He knows the details of this case and he must have an opinion on it, but he refuses to state his position. The pardon application is in process and by the time it is taken up the new Executive Council will consist of a 5-0 Republican majority, I have to believe they will vote in favor of pardon and I do believe that John Lynch will go along with them.

A Facebook page can be a powerful thing, but 3 pages? All dedicated to the same effort? Seems to me they would want to consolidate their efforts…

A good point Fred, but maybe this will mean three times the publicity!
