Hey KingCast, you're just an angry dude, and you are not motivated out of pure intentions in the Franconia shooting tragedy!

By Christopher King

Someone who wrote in to my last post, in which I make light of being called a douchebag and call someone else a douchebag, posed that question to me and I duly responded, as noted in the comments section.

Nonetheless it bears repeating here so I will post some of my response to that inquiry, unlike mass media outlets like 20/20 that censor critical remarks. You can start by clearly seeing my generally angry nature in the picture at left, but let's look further:

5:27

I have a long, long track record of working for the oppressed. As you can see, I successfully work with any reasonable person or entity, like the Nashua School Board, got a Commendation from the Mayor (himself a 30 year Governor's/Executive Council member) and served on his Ethnic Awareness Committee.

At present, I am also helping to put together a program in North Country that will bring together a broad coalition of people "my minions" as you say to approach the U.S. House and speak to a HUGE media outlet that I'm not getting into right now.

So then, where is that history to which I refer? Some, but hardly all of it, is right here for your review:
Education Coalition, 1992.
High school feature, 2005
Nashua Telegraph Editorial, 2007 on prevailing on First Amendment, Right-to-Know issue.

"KEY POINTS
BACKGROUND: The Nashua Board of Education, under threat of a lawsuit, has reversed its previous policy of not allowing members of the public to comment on school personnel during the public comment section of its meetings.

CONCLUSION: The school board has done the right thing and this should be a first step in reframing how the board deals with the public."

Email from Lawrence mother Izzy Figueroa in a First Amendment battle over her daughter's dress code, 2008.

"First and foremost I want to say THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH! You are an angel. I feel it is very important for everyone to know what an impact you have made in our community by empowering parents such as myself to speak up.

We went to the meeting tonight. I have to say a whole different atmosphere and attitude. I even got a hypocritical apology from Superintendent Laboy but an apology nonetheless I feel my daughter needed to hear."

Letter from non-profit business partner and respected educator Chris Hookway, 2005. We had to stop this program after the bogus case against me was instigated by Kelly Ayotte and her minions.

Excerpt:

"I have eaten with, spoken with, worked with, socialized with and argued politics with him. As a matter of fact, I?ve even let him near my kids! I was, and remain convinced to this day, that he is of quite sound mind. It is this trial that's crazy.....Chris may be guilty of many things: including non-stop questioning of and challenging the establishment, being one of the most dogged people I have ever met in pursuing an ideal...

My family and I have always found him to be an honest, hard working, warm, caring and sincere human being.... Chris? big mistake was believing that he could make a difference in this whitest of states in our land of equality and "justice for all."

If I were only motivated by anger and righteous indignation at our government, then perhaps you should be asking "what motivates the government?"

I enjoyed having you stop by, please continue to do so if you like, and if you don't, don't. But when you stop by, speak in the voice of the informed mind.

PS: But of course by noting my successes then I will have people say "Oh, he's so full of himself."

Nice Catch-22, don't you think?
