The NH Free State Project

[porcupine]

Tired of losing?

Good news is beginning to trickle in from local elections in the Free State (New Hampshire) and it's showing how much libertarians can do when they work together.

At least one free stater was elected (which adds to the growing list).

Also, since most taxes are collected through the local government and much of local government is controlled by Town Meetings (a form of direct democracy unique to New England), a few free staters congregated in one town can do alot as well as Free Staters in Grafton recently showed us.

Hello,

For those of you who haven't joined yet, the new Liberty Island Forum is now online. The link is:

www.libertyisland.tk

without the threat of terrorism;
where peace reigns;
where the free market decides the value of goods and services;
with a beautiful climate and almost perfect weather;
with rolling hills, beautiful forests, and a clear blue sky;
with farms equipped with the most modern farming techniques;
with no tariffs, no property tax, and free trade;
where competing currencies are not outlawed;
where your children can roam peacefully and safely;
where people can earn money for themselves and their families;
with a strong infrastructure;

Imagine Liberty Island, a place where all of the above will be true. But we need people like you who want a place like this to raise their families. Join Liberty Island forum; Register, post, discuss, and plan, so that we can make this happen.

I am sorry, but the New Hampshire freestate project is well intended. But will fail. For the simple reason more liberals are moving from Boston and its subs than patriots moving in. Unless you come to New Hampshire willing to have 5 kids and wait 2 generations to change the state then I would pick another state already open for the movement.

Those are just the harsh realities from someone who lives in New Hampshire.

You're completely wrong. The refugees coming to low-tax New Hampshire from Massachusetts are actually mostly conservative, low-tax types. Here's a link

ya we proved that in the election! Give me a break. My part of New Hampshire did better than those areas. My area is next to socialist VT. I guess i should have said NEO-con not liberal.

Yes, we actually did. Ron Paul did better in New Hampshire than in any other primary

I am not trying to belittle the efforts. I just think it is not realistic. I say keep your fight going. You have done a lot of good here. I guess proof me wrong

Feel free to help out.

What exactly isn't realistic now?

Today I read about some great changes in the NH homeschool laws that were brought about by a freestater.

We need to come together somewhere. If our economy falls apart we need at least ONE state to stand up and fight the socialist environment that will ensue. Scattered across the country, we will be powerless in the face of economic chaos and sheep en masse clamoring for handouts. We MUST be together.

Do NOT move to New Hampshire...astronomical rents, backbreaking property taxes, horrible weather...nasty, nasty, nasty.

Give me a break. I don't know where you live but the rent and property taxes are comparable to other states (possibly even cheaper), and the lack of an income/sales tax means the overall burden is lower. As far as the weather, it's a similar climate to about half the U.S. It's not like it's the tundra...

Overall taxes in NH are the lowest of any state in the USA. There's no income or sales tax. The weather isn't bad, and even if it were, you putting your comfort ahead of liberty and freedom would mean you wouldn't fit in in New Hampshire anyway.

We are moving in April! A fellow freestater has an empty house for my fam to use for 2 months- no rent! So we are speeding up our plans, we are packing now, and should be moving in the week of the 6th and we'll have 2 months to get to know NH and decide where we would be most comfortable, where we will work, etc.

I forgot the hundreds of dollars involved in registering a car and the gangs that have overrun Manchester and Nashua. It is currently 21 degrees with a howling wind out of the northwest. You are severely limited in the types of crops you can grow. There is more freedom in the south or west. Look at the people on the Free State forum having trouble finding housing. Rents are well over $1000 per month for ANYTHING bigger than a crackerbox. If you like Boston, you'll LOVE New Hampshire. Otherwise, forget it. (Property taxes are roughly TEN TIMES more than most southern states.) Oh, yeah...toll roads. Yeah...you'll save so much on taxes you won't know what to do with the money.

I'm from New Hampshire. I left. Anybody with any common sense leaves. Overall taxes are the lowest of any state in the US? LOLOL!!! ALL statistics can be manipulated to provide any outcome you desire.
