You know how well Ron Paul did in New Hampshire, you know all about the Free State Project and you know that Keene is the undisputed liberty media capital of the world. Consider moving to Keene to be part of the action. Want to coordinate with liberty activists that campaigned for Ron Paul, interviewed Ron Paul, made videos about Ron Paul, blogged about Ron Paul and have met Ron Paul over and over again? Want to see the place Penn Jillette said he should live? Want to see the studio Lew Rockwell and Gary Johnson were interviewed in? Want to see where the internationally known 420 Rallies at Central Square happened?

I would love to have additional Ron Paul activists in the area. Ron Paul only won 8 of the towns in Cheshire County in 2012, compared to the 13 Mitt Romney won. We need to be better prepared for the 2016 elections. Let me introduce you to the 2012 Ron Paul Cheshire County Coordinator. Let's lay the groundwork for 2016.

Consider moving to the only room currently available in downtown Keene with a pro-liberty landlord. No state income tax on wages, no general sales tax and rent is only around 300 per month.

Note: There are other rooms available in Keene with pro-liberty landlords outside of the downtown area and in 2 other communities in Cheshire County. There are also plenty of rooms available, at higher rates, with not pro-liberty landlords in Cheshire County. There are also rooms with pro-liberty landlords and rooms without pro-liberty landlords available in other parts of the state. Please click on either of the 3 resource links I posted for more information about any of these rooms.

I wish the Free State Project would update its website. It doesn't look as though it's been updated in 5 years or so, and it doesn't have very good usability. Surely there must be many tech-savvy young people in the movement, willing to spend some time on it. That being said, I hope to join the FSP in a few years, love their activism.
 
There are also houses available in Cheshire County for greatly reduced rates right across the street from pro-liberty landlords. Here are a couple of examples.

Across the street from a pro-liberty landlord in Keene.
This 4 bedroom 2 bath house went on the market for $140k in January. It is now $120k. It includes a hook-up for a wood heater in the house so heat in the winter could be very low compared to what many people pay in New England. The house needs a little bit of work. http://www.zillow.com/homedetails/68-Leverett-St-Keene-NH-03431/2122060436_zpid/
Here is a thread about the house I found on the Keene resource list above. http://forum.shiresociety.com/housing/another-home-across-the-street-from-the-kac-is-for-sale-$140k/

Here is a duplex across the street from a pro-liberty landlord in Winchester, NH (2 towns south of Keene, on the NH/MA border) for $39,000. It needs quite a bit of work, but thankfully, there is a pro-liberty construction worker in the area. Someone could easily live it in while he or she was fixing it. It comes with a 2 car garage and a white picket fence. The property taxes are high, meaning that it was once worth a lot more than it is currently priced at. A landlord could live in 1 unit, rent the other unit out, and use the profit to pay all of the property tax. http://bellvillerealty.7022798.1994...opertysearch/propertydetail.aspx?LID=44099845
Here is the thread where I found the house. http://nhunderground.com/forum/index.php?topic=24031.msg342534

Winchester is 30 minutes from Keene, 15 minutes from the Walmart Supercenter in Hinsdale, 48 minutes from the University of Massachusetts, 60 minutes from Springfield, MA and 3 hours and 40 minutes from Manhattan.

Note: I have nothing at all to do with these 2 houses and would in no way financially benefit from the houses being sold, improved or rented.

Come on now, 1 of the Ron Paul Forums moderators in on the frontpage of the FSP website. The in the spotlight information is from May 2012. I agree that 1 of the 6 news stories on the frontpage is from 2011 but the other 5 stories are from March or April 2012.

The flash animation near the top central part of the frontpage is old. However, volunteers are working on updating it, eventually. In fact, the actually website design is several years old, as you guessed. Volunteers are working on rolling out a whole new website, but it is taking them a long time to do it. That is likely due to them being volunteers. I actually work on the website a couple hours per month and have been doing so off and on for years. I'm not the only volunteer that works on the website. There aren't plenty of tech savvy people but lots of liberty activists in NH are especially active, even overcommitted to various projects, if you will. At least a couple people on the FSP IT team are NH state Reps. So they spend 20 hours a week doing state Rep. stuff, work, do other activism, spend time with their families and friends and so on.

You are not the first person to notice the website lacking, as you could likely guess. Here is an active thread on the FSP Forum about it. The person that created the thread was extremely hostile so some of the responses are less than encouraging but that's what sometimes happens when extremely hostile people or trolls start threads on forums they are new to. http://forum.freestateproject.org/index.php?topic=25177.0
