I'm not sure if this is a good or bad thing but this is what the local New Hampshire news reported about the Browns:
"Monier said officials cut the phone to prevent supporters from flocking to the Browns. They have developed an online following of fellow anti-tax activists,
Ron Paul supporters and others who believe in a federal government conspiracy to deprive Americans of their liberties."
