Runoff election for a free state - round 2

[ThomasJ]

If NH was so great why did they go and epic fail at voting for Ron Paul.....


Montana on the other hand....

The problem with NH is that there is so many god damn fucking liberals from New York, Mass., etc....


We need a spot with a small amount of population per square mile. Otherwise we will get swallowed up by the masses of thoughtless sheep.

NH has failed at the free state project. It failed at voting for Ron Paul, and it Fails at secession.

If the supreme court rules in favor of collective right for handguns then Montana will leave.

As for the cold....... That is what heaters are for....

You can only take off so many layers of clothes during the summer... You can't take off your skin... But you can layer the crap out of yourself during the winter.

I really hate to see the momentum fragmaneted. FSP has been working on it since 2001, and we have about 530 residents and another 8k pledged. Adding a second or third state is going to dillute the already small pool of people willing to move for liberty. Some people are complaining about the showing in the primary, but it is still Ron Paul's best showing in a primary so far.

I lived in Los Angeles my whole life, just moved to NH (FSP #488!) five months ago, and I love it. I see now why NH won the FSP vote by a landslide. I've already gotten heavily involved in local politics, and we're making great progress. The NH state government structure is uniquely accessible.

The number of Free Staters moving to NH will never outnumber the amount of people who decide to move to southern NH to commute to Boston.

A state with low population densities and a more "libertarian" environment would be the best place to start.

I still have hope for NH but I am quite disturbed at how the Secretary of State has handled the recount effort. There needs to be 100% transparency and they have failed miserably. Even if they are not corrupt, they have given the appearence that they are. NH people need to step up and clean house.

I think you are right, that is why they are a blue state and why they may have been shaving votes for Romney.

Soon to be property of the RPR.

I want Texas to be the choice, but New Hampshire is the way to go.

NH - you will be ours!

I love this...

Look at all of the Texas people here! I haven't voted for Texas, and I probably won't. I just don't believe it would work in Texas just yet. However, it is encouraging to see all of the Texas folks in the house.

Whatever you Texans do... Get out and talk with your neighbors. Take some information pertaining to the highway. Take some DVD's with the interviews, and the debate questions answered by Ron. If the crowds are the size that the local media reports, then go there. Get involved. Pass out some info. Take second amendment slim jims. All politics are local, and the rest of us are waiting for Texas to prove that they are ready to lead the charge!

I'd go with Northern Colorado. There is a huge contingent of liberty minded people there. It's the birthplace of the TRT (Tyranny Response Team), which was quite effective for awhile against the gun grabbers. For anyone who is unsure about it, show up at the city park in Johnstown, Colorado on any 4th of July and you will see Fife and Drum Corps, a insanely patriotic community, patriot music, and Constitutional Speakers.

The free state project hasn't failed at all. It has barely even started. Once 8,000 people move there the GOP of that state would be ours for the taking.

I don't see how anyone can shout "failure" when only 500 people have moved.

Support our people in New Hampshire.

Montana should be the second choice.

This is the approach I favor, having a 1st, 2nd and 3rd choice. Not everyone will want to move to NH. For some MT or TX will be better. Just imagine if we have a 2nd or 3rd congressman in TX, 1 in MT and 1 in NH.

Growing up in Canyon Creek Montana was fun would love to move back!!

New Hampshire is by far our best hope.

New Hampshire is by far our best hope. The state legislature is uncommonly accessible. It is one of the largest elected assemblies (per capita) in the world.

We already have many free state friendly reps... and at least one FSP member elected to the state house.

We have local activist organizations already in place like the NH Liberty Alliance:

Also, there is a growing anarchist enclave in Keene... if you're burned out on the political front.

If you want to go retreat into a bunker, there are better places. NH is the best place to fight for freedom. Close access to media markets is somewhat important to gain prominence.

Ron Paul himself has endorsed the FSP.

Why fracture the movement? Why re-invent the wheel?

Thank you for your dedication. I attended college in Keene and lived briefly in Manchester. Unfortunately I had a difficult time finding a halfway decent job and recently ended up moving back to Connecticut where I have better connections. I'm planning on heading back up there once I get some experience under my belt, though. I don't even planning on changing my license/registration over if I can help it.

People in NH voted in the Democrats, not because of a "liberal invasion", but because they were disgusted at the direction of the national GOP. However the backlash has already started as people begin to realize they don't want higher taxes and invasive laws (like the smoking ban). It seems like the main hurdle to overcome will be convincing people not to take the sins of the national GOP out on the local guys.

No option for Vermont?

Vermont is a socialist state.....there was a big hippie movement there in the 60's

 

[rayzer]

uhhh?

Why are we having this vote? It was already done in 2001. It is was MUCH better thought out and researched than this!

There are 500 freestaters in NH now, who have done an amazing job. But there only 500 people! it's not going to swing a vote. and not all of them voted for Ron Paul. They are laying the groundwork so it's easier for people to move. The FSP is just getting started, and it's growing.

The problem with Montana, is there are no jobs, and no seaport. Otherwise I would support it.

Any state that's picked will take time. Once people find out about it, they will need time. People have houses, kids, and other obligations. Some of us can't just pack up and move.
Don't be so negative, there are people in the FSP who have radio show, newspapers, tv shows. The only thing your doing is.......spewing your negativity in a internet forum.
