Have you Signed up for the Free State Project?

I'm very happy to have moved, especially after learning we are the only state in the union to have a budget going down, and its mostly due to efforts like NHLiberty and the Free State Project.

NH is my backup plan.

I wonder how much the population of NH will grow as this election goes bad?

 

[centure7]

NH is my backup plan.

Do you have any projects in mind to work on when you get here? I am promoting silver as money.

 

[69360]

Not really, just try to keep my head down and survive. I figure it'll be safer there and as free as you can get in the US. Things are going to get real bad in this country soon. I service and sell used Subaru cars. I think that'll be a useful skill to barter in NH when the monetary system goes bad. I can buy a house cash in NH too, I can hardly believe how cheap houses are in northern NH, so I'll be pretty well set.

I think the FSP is the best chance we have for liberty in our lifetime and I'm a big supporter.

I wish there were a Free State Project in a few regions of the country. I know that sort of defeats the purpose a bit, but some of us would love to join but will never move to cold, upstate, largely rural New Hampshire.

There's lots of space in the cultural mecca that's regrowing down in New Orleans. Maybe we should have a Free City Project. NOLA has a long history of libertarianism, including drinking at 18, drinking outside, and legalized prostitution. The Feds forced the city to raise the drinking age a few years ago (otherwise they'd lose highway funding) and forced them to get rid of legalized prostitution in 1917 (apparently the soldiers heading to WWI were spending a lot of off-time in The District and so the Feds forced the city to close The District so that the troops could build up their 'moral armor' before heading into battle); but there's still a free spiritedness that pervades the community, which is why the place is nicknamed "The Big Easy."

There's probably a few other locals in the US that would be good to foster freedom. A small selection of places could help freedom build greatly, because in the end... NH has a rather limited appeal if you want a different city-life, culture, and climate.

No because I don't want to live in a cold and miserable climate.

I love California, I love the beach areas here. I'll try to change things from within here.

Im glad to be in PA right now. Open Carry, decent taxes, jobs. They could all change though. Ive been thinking about NH.

 

[MozoVote]

Some of the low flat-tax states like Colorado and Pennsylvania are worth considering too.

North Carolina has a high income tax and a beefy sales tax. I'm getting tired of both of them.

 

[Mark37snj]

There is no way Im gona consider NH if I do go. After they voted for INSANE McCain and now Mittins I would probably head to Montana.

 

[MichaelD]

I think the free state project is a notably goal, but I just don't see it getting any traction. I would say politically Montana has done more to bee free than NH.

Since most of the encroachment of our freedoms over the last decade have been at the federal level, I dont think any one state to better than another. Maybe if Ron Paul won NH, I would have considered it.

 

[Justinfrom1776]

I've been throwing it around for a while now.. To be honest after watching Romney get 40% of the vote there, I'm a little turned off. I'm thinking of moving to Isle of Man and starting an online casino/sports book.

 

[69360]

You all have to realize the masshole transplants are the ones who voted for McCain and Romney. The massholes only live within 20 miles of the border for the most part. Southern NH is a suburb of Boston. Northern NH is way different.

Think about this-

No sales tax
No income tax
No mandatory car insurance
No seat belt laws
No gun laws

State reps and senators get a $200 a year salary

You can buy a house on a few acres for less than $50k

NH has been creeping bluer since 2000. Now almost the entire State except those along the Massachusetts border votes Democrat. As someone that was knowledgeable on CSPAN said, New Hampshire is getting a major influx of Democrats from all over the New England area, and a lot of Republicans from Massachusetts.

Subaru is like the unoffocial state car of NH. You should get a job here *very* easily. I suggest you keep an eye out at Subaru dealerships starting now!

I remember when this first launched and they had a internal dispute as to which state to choose. If I am not mistaken I believe there were three "free state" groups: NH, SC and WY. While it is a nice concept the practicality of it is not. Most people have family ties to the state in which they live, and would never consider moving to another state.

Had the >900 people who have moved to NH so far moved to one city like Grafton, NH then we'd have a free city project. However, there are definite downsides to such a thing, including the fact that you don't spread influence throughout the entire state.

I'd never work for anyone again, I'm way too independent for that. I'm self employed and would do the same in NH. The laws and lack of zoning in rural areas are favorable to somebody like me, I can do things the way I please.

 

[centure7]

The laws and lack of zoning in rural areas are favorable to somebody like me, I can do things the way I please.

In that case I'd suggest you check out Grafton first, because they have extremely little zoning laws, a number of FSP members, and are 1/2 an hour away from civilization which isn't too far.
