The injustices of government are many, brave challengers are few. These few are the individuals we seek to cover. If you know a person or story we should cover e-mail Suggest@FreestarMedia.com and put "Lexington League Story Suggestion" in the subject.
The Lexington League will cover stories of people challenging laws that prohibit them from engaging in activities that do not involve the initiation of force or fraud. For example laws that…
...prohibit freedom of speech when someone is using their own money, facilities or space.
...prohibit them from putting something into their own body
...prohibit consensual trade between adults or laws that require permission from the government
...prohibit them from building on their own land
...force one person to pay another person's bills or to pay for improper government activites
...prohibit them from competing with a government monopoly
We will also cover the passage of shocking new laws that abuse the power of government and take away even more freedom.

Legal Disclaimer
We are not encouraging anyone to break a law. Furthermore, people who are considering breaking laws should be aware that imprisonment, financial penalties and other negative consequences may result. Our show will simply cover people who have already decided to challenge unjust laws. In this way we are no different than any other news media. We are simply specializing in our coverage. As with all media our role will be to record the ideas and actions of people on the show and to comment on the larger philosophic questions involved. We hope to start a great global discussion about the proper role of government. We are not seeking to promote disagreement with laws in general. An ethical society requires laws to protect people against the initiation of force and fraud, and to arbitrate disputes.
