New Hampshire's excuse

[GunnyFreedom]

Why not start a second FSP in Wyoming, for those who like that environment better than N.H.'s? Then there can be a competition between the two states to see which can become the most free first...

There already is a second FSP in Wyoming, but it's emaciated, with all the people going to NH based on the decision of the primary group. Just like NH is treading uphill vs Massholes, Wyoming is treading uphill vs the NH-firsters. No way the Wyo FSP will gain the population to challenge Wyo gov as things currently stand.

I'd prefer WY over NH anyway, and I think continuing a FSP there is a great idea. One huge advantage is not being surrounded by or in close proximity to statist cesspools (which essentially composes the entire northeast). Other advantages include the large land area, natural resources, and comparable rugged individualist mindset you'll find up there.

Honestly, if FSP had gone with Wyoming, I'd already be living there. Much smaller population to overcome.

More than 48% of the land in Wyoming is owned by the U.S. Government, leading Wyoming to rank sixth in the U.S. in total acres and fifth in percentage of a state's land owned by the Federal government.[8] This amounts to about 30,099,430 acres (121,808.1 km2) owned and managed by the U.S. Government. The state government owns an additional 6% of all Wyoming lands, or another 3,864,800 acres (15,640 km2).[8]

New Hampshire had 4,824,000 acres (1,952,000 hectares) of forestland in 2004, of which 4,503,000 acres (1,822,000 hectares) were considered suitable for commercial use. Of that total, 83% was privately owned. Forests cover about 84% of New Hampshire. Lumber production in 2004 was 232 million board feet, 72% softwood.
