Paulville News! $180 per acre

[Mckarnin]

I think we can make this work... we are just missing the right logo.
Some snappy graphics could overcome all of the problems.
Here are some ideas:

Glad to see you putting your graphic design skills to use....those are very funny

i don't mind west texas.... and im totally down for something thats NOT on the coast... everything seems to happen on the coast, which means broke people like me can't go/participate

(don't get me wrong both of the coasts are my top choice but too expensive and far away from family) its just not feasible for a lot of us to just pack up and move 2,000 miles away but a couple hundred miles i could totally go for...

i do know some of the acreage in KS goes for about $140 an acre as well

OH also

on the paulville.org site i found a typo

These communities are not for the faint at heard they will start as undeveloped land in non city locals, as this is the way to secure large tracts of land needed for these efforts.

just lettin ya know!

This isn't a bad idea, its like the Free State Project (and we know how effective that was ) only more concentrated.

What people fail to realize about the Free State Project is that it's still in its infancy. Only about 500 people have moved there so far. You can't expect much too soon. But, the early mover folks have stopped the implementation of a state income and/or sales tax, they've preserved their right to carry guns in the state house/senate, they have a state law prohibiting Real ID compliance, they've killed a proposed seat belt law, they've helped loosen homeschooling laws and other things I'm missing. The MSM has no manipulation affect on a local/state level like they do over the Presidential Race.
The key to their early successes (which makes you wonder how much more effective they'll be with a few hundred/thousand more) is the New Hampshire Liberty Alliance (www.nhliberty.org) which is a liberty political activist org that reviews every bill before the legislature and gives annual ratings to all legislators as far as how pro-liberty they are--and this is all on a statewide basis. The NHLA also makes calls to action in which numerous folks show up to the state house from all around to testify for or against certain bills. They have many state reps as members (both dems and repubs), who do their bidding for them. Point is, no other state has an a org that is this effective with a small activist pool, who according to some people, are a joke--hence my response. Good luck with Paulville, though. You got a lot of work ahead of ya.

Yeah I find it perplexing that so many people who purportedly support freedom are so quick to lash out at those who are actually fighting to achieve it. The FSP is the most practical “libertarian” endeavor I’ve ever seen and I can’t wait to be a part of it (hopefully within 6 months or so, depending on the employment situation).

By the way, Paul did better in NH than he did in any other primary, which are a much better indication of true levels of support than caucuses.

Interesting Idea, but...

There are many places that are far superior to West Texas if you want to buy a large piece of property cheaply and subdivide it as a 'gated community'. East Texas is far better than west Texas. Most of Oklahoma is better, Half of Missouri, and Half of Arkansas are better. Most of Northern Louisiana is better. Much of Eastern Montana and a huge part of South Dakota are better.

In a perfect world, you would be within a half hour of a major city so that people can hold jobs while they build their self sustaining vision. DFW is a great option, so is Billings, Sioux City, Kansas City, MO, Springfield, MO, OKC, etc...

Land that is 1000-2000 dollars an acre but has sufficient rainfall to grow crops, trees, and sustain livestock is vastly superior to land at 180 an acre that is good for nothing but sitting on and importing the necessities of life.

I agree that the NH FSP is making progress, Im just not sure that they will ultimately be successful, and I find myself hating the intolerance and abrasiveness of many FSP activists. As for me, my wife would rather sever a limb than move to New England, so I will sit where I am for a while. I do see a relocation to the NW, MO or TX in my future, though.

Uh, no. Ron Paul did his best in Montana.

flights of fancy...

Whats the point of a libertarian gated community?? its still subject to state and federal law dictated to the people by the democrats and republicans who serve as the mouthpiece for the money men.

Also, ever heard the phrase dont put all your eggs in one basket??

the government will accuse you of being radical sepratists and the people will believe them and stand idle while they lay you all to waste like the Branch Davidians.

Much better to stay embedded in large communities with mixed political affiliation, and slowly grow our ranks. recession is certain, depression is possible, government blunders and corporate abuse are inevitable. Every time the establishment fails a citizen, we should be near by to offer kind words of encouragement, and reinforce the old American ideals that have been so long forgotten they seem new and foreign. Sepratism and isolationism will just reinforce the public misconception that we are all fucking idealistic crazies, with no grasp of reality. We know thats not the case, but they generally beleive what they are told to believe. if media misinformation is coupled with crappy decisions tied to our movement, it will just reinforce the misinformation.

I'd like to live on a commie commune lol. When I say that, it surprises people. But I do support voluntary socialism

 

[crazyfingers]

I said he did better than any other primary. Montana was a caucus...not exactly the best indication of popular support.

 

[LibertiORDeth]

With that kind of attitude toward RPF and the members here, I'm not the least bit surprised. I know I won't even bother to check it out because of all the spam I've seen here by you. Good way to win friends and influence people.

I have confined nearly all the posts relating to it in their respective topics.

 

[bojo68]

Anyone driven through west Texas? There's nothing there!

They had 1200$ speeding tickets there 20~30 yrs ago...

Just FYI, if the land is that cheap there, that means there is no water, not municipal, not in the ground, and certainly not on the surface. You are going to have to import water if you want to live there. I think that place is actually right next door to the most sparsely populated county in the United States. I myself had eyed that place as a possible location for a giant, highly isolated ranch so I could retire away from civilization. The water thing swayed me against it, though.

If you could find someplace that has a salt water aquifer or otherwise access to salty or polluted water for cheap, I have access to bleeding edge water filtration technology (long lasting reverse osmosis membranes--theoretically unfoulable to boot). In addition, the wind in that area is pretty strong, and probably constant. One can purchase a 5MW windmill for about 1.5 million dollars, and it will produce electricity more cheaply than grid electricity. These types are quite large, and if not maintained they can be quite deadly, but we should be able to situate it well away from a populated area and keep homes and businesses out of the range of the turbines should they come apart.

I would actually say North Dakota was better since he won half of our national delegates.

 

[rockandrollsouls]

I know this thread is near dead, but how did you guys locate the land for so cheap? What webpage did you use to find it? I was considering purchasing land, but I don't know where to start or what to use. If I could find it for as cheap as you guys did, I'd be a happy camper

How much weed can you grow on 50 acres?

 

[Perry]

We found 50 acres at a low price of $180 a acre in Texas..

Log in and check out West Texas Land Prospect #1 in the forums at paulville.org

1 share per acre

there are 50 total shares and only 11 more shares available

I can't believe you can buy land that cheap anywhere. I have land in Alaska where there's a square mile per person and my
one humble acre is $80,000.

Is this anything like the FLDS? And just how influential are they on Texas policies?

As much as I need to medicate with.

Over here by me, I have located 120 acres for under 200k. I think that is damn good pricing here in California myself. Look for areas that are not so "expanded" upon yet.

My plan, not a paulville style anything but rather locate a small enough city with a council and then take it over with CONSTITUTIONAL platform. At least that is my plan but we shall see how it goes.

Land is the way to go but I think this paulville should be done in all states. Just make each city a paulville by taking over the council and mayoral positions and any other office position that has any pull in how things are ran.
