Is secession treason?

[osan]

There are 4 of us in this thread alone, who, by previous comments I've read, are supportive of this type of initiative. In a country of ~350 million people (and plenty of "anti government" web sites) and support for Constitutional principles seemingly on the rise, we should be able to find a large number of participants.

We could use some good brainstorming sessions and strong leadership.

Well, I am always up for some creative mischief, though I would prefer to start in a thread because I know how these things end up more often than not. A bunch of us were going to start a PAC to help RP get elected 2012. Either I was the only person serious about it or I missed a crucial memo because it dropped off the radar from one second to the next and nobody, not a single soul, would answer my "what's going on?" query. So even in this I found people to be all talk. So I'm not in a big mood to sit in on teleconferences nor secure outside commitment as I have until I would know the folks around me are serious and will act. I am not the type to get on a soap box in town and go off on my own like the local crazy person either, if you know what I mean.

So if you guys are interested in casually skying county-up resistance, I am all for it.

The plan is relatively simple, which is why there might be a chance of success. A county has been targeted which has a part time sheriff and no other law enforcement, a county wide school district with less than 50 students, a low population, no zoning laws, low property and other taxes as a result of low population, and no aquifier district, which under the laws of the state, do not restrict water wells.

Do a FSP in miniature, but the location is isolated (which makes it a good SHTF bug out location), so you move your residence there for voting and tax purposes and build your bug out place. Then we start on economic development that would eventually allow for full time residence and build an actual defendable community.

At the state level, ther is no income tax, a sales tax, which a barter system avoids, car registration @ about $50 per year, and controlling the county board controls tax rates on property. Depending on your profession, there may be some state licensing or regulations, but other than that you could be as free person as is possible in the US.

PM me for more specifics on the deal for those interested.

Sounds like Nevada.

Sounds like Nevada.

A good bit of the "Rocky Mountain Redoubt" would probably qualify as worth considering. I'll copy some of the info about the effort into a new thread in Freedom Living.

To answer the original question: no.
