We need our own state.

Reasons not to move to the Northwest:
  • It rains all the time, even summer
  • It is cold all the time, even summer
  • The Liberals assume they rule here and that you are liberal too
  • The streets are rolled up at sundown (which is 4:30 in the heart of winter)
  • The only thing to do on the weekend is to shop for second rate garbage at local mall (if you aren't canvassing for Ron Paul, that is probably more fun than most things up here)
  • If you want to open a restaurant in my town the total government fees are upwards of $100,000 if 100 tables
  • Portland food sucks outside of the few good downtown restaurants, which have waits of several hours
  • People are jerks for the most part,
  • and did I mention it is cold and rains all the time

Rain= Good thing
It would help the state out a lot. A drought ridden state is useless.
If you think people from the NW are jerks, you should see people from the SE and NE.

Not when there is so much rain the I-5 has an annual inundation.
 
Texas sounded ok at first, because of the RP connection mostly... but I think in terms of contingency plans:

My husband makes the point that we might want to stay out of states that have several (or any) major military instilations in them. (He is active duty)

Also, while a costal state is nice for a water getaway (I am 100% serious), and the proximity of Mexico is a good point.... porximity to Canada is better. Canada wouldn't allow people to be persued across their borders (as I understand things) but Mexico certianly would (and does).

I wanted a southern state too. But if we want to seriously affect local politics, senate districts, state representatives, congress, mayors, sheriffs, governers and then even more... we have to pick carefully and NOT based on the personal tastes of a few members.

Pros and Cons- be resoonable. INTJs should understand this... (google it if you dont know what I'm talking about, many of us Ron Paul supporters are INTJs)

my picks for the new state mottos are

THINK- its not illegal yet. and LEGALIZE the constitution!
 
I heard people from the Northwest are the nicest people in the country

maybe southerners are nice too

but I'm from New England and you definitely don't have the nicest people here, lol

We're real friendly in Texas. We say "howdy" alot....or at least that's what the TV would have you believe.:rolleyes:
 
OK.... I'm just going to have to stick to the Washington / Montana area
 
The Free State Project is big in NH....

Hey, Texan promoters...is the "Republic of Texas" group still active out there?
 
Being from Florida, anything starting from Central-North Florida and northward is what I consider colder winters (where you can't comfortably wear shorts and a shortsleve shirt 365 days a year, or aka frostzone). But I like extreme weather (no in between). Northern Maine or Alaska anyone??

Oh, and I have never met a single Southerner who has treated with courtesy and hospitality, and I have been to the South plenty of times. The day the South turns her back from that is the day that there is no more South.
 
Couldn't we actually take over less populated states like the dakotas and wyoming. maybe even throw in Montana. I mean they have small populations so we could have a chance to influence the politics there... and in the Dakotas we have some good mountains to hide behind to shoot the Unionists neo-con/libs if they attack.

I'm up for that as long as I can stay away from tornadoes.

We have storm cellers here in Texas. Of course, there are those sneaky storms that creep up while you're asleep. You run the risk of going to sleep in your bed to wake up in your neighbor's bathtub. hehehehehe :D

I love Texas!
 
Erin,

Excellent points. Proximity to Canada is important I think...

Nobody liked my Hawaii idea though?
 
I'm ready to move. Warm, good place to grow food, plenty of fresh water are must haves. Mountains would be nice, too but not prone to natural disasters (earthquakes, landslides, wildfires, hurricanes, tornadoes, etc.). And definitely not surrounded by other states.

If you are looking for protection from the neocons, look no further than Alaska, any idiot could defend that place.

For crying out loud, I wear shortsleeve shirts in 20 degree weather up here in CT :p

It can get below 0 once in a while... not usually... but most of winter is in the 20s

That place doesn't exist that I know of.
 
Northern Maine has a lot to recommend it. We actually had a nascent secession movement here ten years ago (I was elected president) and the convention was attended by several state legislators. There is 11,000 square miles of mostly wilderness in my county alone (pop. 80,000). We could dominate that in a hurry. We have a huge opportunity to build a hydro dam that would power our new state all by itself...We have very low real estate. Plenty of firewood...Canada is two miles behind my house. Nothing but woods to the border...
