Free State Wyoming vs. Free State Project (New Hampshire)

[John F Kennedy III]

I have visited the websites of both and admittedly dont know much about either one. Which do you think would be better to join and why?

I vote Wyoming. Smaller state, more of a chance to do good. I wish there was also a Free State project for the Dakotas

Having recently been to Wyoming, I can say that I'm afraid that the biggest obstacle is the fact that the land is probably the least productive land in the USA. Homesteading Wyoming is a good way to starve to death slowly, and their economy is dismal. It's sparsely populated for a reason.

New Hampshire is a much bigger project in terms of the number of activists involved.

That's why I'd like to see a Free State North Dakota. great place for farming, has oil and a booming economy. Tiny population too.

The problem with new hampshire is that it's sandwiched between the most socialist states in the country and eventually it will be overrun in my opinion. Not sure what I think about wyoming. North Dakota seems like a better choice if you want to be in the middle of nowhere since it's economy is booming and has one of the lowest unemployment rates.

People complain about New Hampshire being too cold; North Dakota makes it seem like the tropics.

You're right about the tiny population though. I remember reading an article a few years back where some ND town held an election and no one (not even the mayor) showed up to vote.

Cold = lots of time to stay indoors and breed more liberty babies

 

[muzzled dogg]

i picked NH!

 

[KCIndy]

Huh.

I'll have to admit, I didn't know about Free State Wyoming, and I had thought I was pretty well up on this sort of thing. I know that the Free State Project had, at one time, considered Wyoming as well as Alaska before finally settling on New Hampshire as their target. I was totally unaware of the Free State Wyoming effort.

JFK III, I'm assuming you're talking about:

is that correct?

Perhaps we can start a Free State North Dakota

Thats how we can restore Liberty. Have so many kids that in 18 years we will win everything.

I'm not sure about land prices in NH but WY prices always seemed high for what you were getting.

Thats the one.

Bump for the night crowd.

 

[Jingles]

I probably say NH. I'm a Northeasterner though. Why not Montana maybe?

Hmmm. What would make Montana a good choice?

 

[TexMac]

I'm not sure about land prices in NH but WY prices always seemed high for what you were getting.

Half of the land in Wyoming is owned by the state.

ETA: 48% is owned by the feds and 6% by the state of Wyoming.

I used to live in Casper and Sheridan.

There was a vote by the top liberty activists (lol, well, those involved with the FSP) back around 2003 b/t the 10 states that the FSP was seriously considering because there was a possible chance of positive change in those states. NH came in first. ND came in last. Feel free to start such a project but I don't think anyone else will get involved. Besides, while ND is perhaps freer than WY, SD is freer than both of those states and it borders both of them.
