Yes, research done by the Wall Street Journal actually backs up that fact. MA movers tend to be small business owners or blue collar workers who are basically tax refugees. That's why Southern NH is so Republican, actually.
Vermont's secession movement is the most popular and successful at this point. New Hampshire's movement is gaining steam as the Free State Project gains steam and the Federal Government becomes more tyrannical.
I disagree. It was New Hampshire that insisted that there be a Bill of Rights added to the Constitution and they also wanted an Amendment added to the Federal Government forbidding standing armies.
I'm a free stater who moved to NH and doesn't agree that women should be able to go around topless. Perhaps FTL_Ian thinks I should go back to where I came from? ;)
The state debate and vote is archived on our website. I'd recommend checking it out. I think NH and the West both have plusses and minuses. Plusses for NH include the fact that activists can meet up easily since the state is drivable and the job market is much more diverse in NH, which allows...

You can't shrink government until you stop its growth. Seat belt laws are a very, very basic (and most think small) infringement on liberty and New Hampshire has been unique in facing down the federal government on this. We are proud to have continued this tradition.
Yes, they'll bring it up...
