Runoff election for a free state - round 2

[Cleaner44]

Let's move onto round 2 of "where should liberty lovers move to". This is like the the NH Free State Project but bigger. We need a few places around the nation to gather and create communities of people that want to live free.

Gota go Montana

Gota go Montana

I can guarantee that Montana doesn't look like that today. Probably around 0 and frozen over.

I chose, Texas, Montana and Alaska.

We had to fight our own revolution down here in Texas, believe it or not people are pretty individualistic and we were once our own country, we could do it again.

People, in order for a FSP type thing to work you have to pick a small populated state. So, AK, NH, and MT are the only logical choices. I'm thinkin that some a yall are worried about weather as your chief concern--you're only wasting your time. And out of those three, NH has better accolades than MT or AK+the fact that no one will move all the way to AK. In addition, secession wouldn't work up there since the Feds probably won't let that oil go and whatever else AK has resource speaking. NH is the only state who's constitution offers the explicit right to revolution. As libertarians, we all have our petty pet projects without consolidating. This type of thinking will always keep us spread apart. It's hard to start a FSP type project and get it going. But NH is the closest avenue for us to effect change. Think about it before ya start talkin wacky shit like moving to some island or Michigan or Texas. I mean please

 

[Arklatex]

Wow all of those states are winners. EDIT: Besides NH.

 

[INforRP]

No option for Vermont?

 

[thehittgirl]

nevada, cause its warm

[Richie]

Alaska, Montana, and New Hampshire.

Good points but we could take over a congressional district of a more populated state. Not everyone is going to want to live in NH or whatever. I am thinking that if we had 2, 3, 4 or 5 different places that would be good. Planting the seeds of liberty in different plots accross our nation.

 

[Cleaner44]

MT has only 1 congressional disrtict
AK has only 1 district
NH has 2 districts
NV has 3 districts
WA has 9 districts, I personally love district 6

 

[Peregrin]

I voted:
#1 Colorado--because I grew up there and wanna take it back from all the California Crazies who have moved in
#2 Montana--because of their opposition to National ID, and no sales tax
#3 Texas--because it's big but not as far away as Alaska (which would've been #4 if I'd been allowed another vote)

West Virginia for the win, man. Nevada and New Hampshire are cool choices. I don't get the popularity of Montana, but I guess some people here are total loners.
Colorado is a really terrible choice for such a list, there's quite a bit of fascism on the books in Colorado. Most likely in Washington too, though I'm less familiar with it.

New Hampshire is the real FSP though - if you're trying to compete with them, you probably won't have much luck in reality. Why make a new concerted effort when we've had a perfectly good one at http://www.freestateproject.org/ for years now?

 

[BuddyRey]

Montana, Nevada, and New Hampshire were my choices.

Montana because there's already a burgeoning secessionist movement there, Nevada because they have proven their love for RP's message with his 2nd place win, and NH because of the established Free State Project (even though their primary results have got me pretty disillusioned with the whole thing).

You can't hold the fraud of a few against the many. NH was not lost legitimately.

I voted:

#2 Montana--because of their opposition to National ID, and no sales tax

NH voted down REAL ID.
NH has no sales tax.
NH has no income tax.
NH has a 400 seat rep. One seat held by a freestater and one seat held by a former LPer now GOPer.

Montana and Wyoming are great choices in my opinion. I'm already in the process of moving to Colorado (my wife grew up there), so that would be my first choice for that reason.

I thought it was funny that someone posted against Montana because its so cold but then suggested Alaska....umm... Alaska is pretty doggone cold.

Alaska has some real positives, but not enough people are going to move there. New Hampshire isn't exactly balmy in the winter either....

Ultimately it will have to be 2-3 "free states", and encourage as many people to move there as are willing. Many easterners won't move west, and many westerners don't want to move east. Likewise, many people in southern, warmer states won't want to move up to Montana, New Hampshire, and certainly not Alaska, or even if they do move there, won't be able to hang.
Why can't it be New Hampshire, Wyoming ( http://www.freestatewyoming.org/ ), and Montana, Colorado, or Nevada?
