We need our own state.

State of Washington?

Austin, TX, the best feeling place in the country. Used to live in New York for most of my life. Way too cold and expensive. Austin is heaven. Don't be afraid of the heat. It only lasts 3-4 months. The rest of the year, the weather is paradise. Lots of Dems here, but if their stinky Obama gets messed over by the press or hacked voting machines, they'll be joining us.

How is RP going to do in the "crown of Texas" area? (Amarillo)

For those of us who are committed to starting our own state, we need to be on a border. What country in the world is surrounded entirely by another country without remaining totally dominated by that country??

Again, I really would like some feedback on Brewster/Presidio.

Well we already know you're trying to promote Maine since you live there

But ya... it's still one of the top states

If not Alaska for what you just said, but I doubt people are willing to go all the way to Alaska. Besides, it doesn't give a serious message to the US since it's so far away and isn't a part of the main 48

Honestly, probably about the same as he has everywhere else...not that good. Our meetup group has about 55 people, and only about a dozen of those people will actually get off their asses and do anything. The Lubbock group (Lubbock is the only other big city in the panhandle, about 125 miles south) is a little bigger and their members are more active.

Totally off the subject but an interesting, feel-good story.....The leader of our meetup group in Amarillo is a 17-year-old junior in high school. He has by far done the most work of anyone in the group. He stood out in freezing rain this past weekend to sign-wave when Bill Clinton's sorry ass came to the Amarillo Civic Center. It makes you feel good to see some signs of hope from that generation.

Alright, here is my argument for Vermont.

*Population 600,000, second smallest population after Wyoming.
*7% of the population already wants to secede
*Awesome Skiing
*Home of Ben & Jerry
*If we succeed, we can probably convince NH and Maine and the Canadians to join us.

Haha, this is all fun and games, but 19 pages worth???

Buying an island might work but there is no way to ACTUALLY secede as a state. The pwnage of us would be hilarious.

I think we should talk about fundraising to buy an island rather than seceding from our country

Texas Population: 23,507,783

New Hampshire Population: 1,315,828 (packed full of "northeast" minded collectivists)

Vermont Population: 621,254 (packed full of "northeast" minded collectivists)

Wyoming Population: 522,830 (stubborn conservatives... but at least they are NOT collectivist LIBS)


PS- Wyoming is totally energy independent, it has a huge cattle industry, and great skiing!.

PSS- There is already a movement heading there http://www.freestatewyoming.org/index.html


-- the views are great...

"Home Sweet Home"?

Well let's talk about which county in Texas then. Or NH, or any of the other states we have mentioned and see if we can coalesce around a particular county.

Montana is NOT going to be "taken over" with 20,000 people. 100,000 might do it though...

Steve....... I disagree. Montana is the best chance.

MONTANA​

I'd move there.

Chances are my hubby and I will be moving to a different state within a couple of years or so anyway, and it will definitely be a state further south than Missouri. We were thinking Tennessee, but if a bunch of like-minded people start heading for Texas, we'd have no problem moving there instead.

The Free Republic of Texas sounds good to me!

The problems today aren't caused by the state governments but rather by the federal government. Not sure how a new state would be any different - it would still fall under today's federal government.

Believe it or not, the housing over here is pretty slow, lot's of houses for sale...the average sale would be 92 days at least....that's what I heard on my local news

I think you are missing the point, we're talking about Secession here.

 

[Anyeong]

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)

I disagree, the freedom virus would surely spread into those military bases.

 

[Anyeong]

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 think we should go for a state that's at least no stranger to being a country, and Texas seems to be the only state.

I prefer warm weather, I do, but I'll go for NH because so much thought has already been put into it and we have a welcoming committee already there, preparing the path. I don't see the point in starting over if fellow freedom lovers have already done the research and gotten started. I appreciate their work and am thankful for having less to do on that front. I'm totally ok no plans to secede, plans are subject to change based on need. For now, I want to be safe, with likeminded people...people who are not sheep and won't look the other way when black cars come in the middle of the night to take folks away to fema camps. I want to live among people who will put up their own roadblock. What did Franklin say about hanging together or assuredly we'd all hang seperately? That's where we're at imo.

See you in NH!!!!

I bet we could move to hawaii and create technology to harness the power of the volcanoes to transfer energy to the rest of the world. We'd all be so set for life supporting the rest of the world that we could hang out on the beaches all day.

Don't secede... just follow the Constitution, and ignore all other FED mandates.Writings of our founders and even past supreme court decisions have stated such. A state could pull this off. Throw out the the IRS, the BATF, FBI and others. It would be easy if the majority of the population thought that way.

The Federal government would have to send troops in -- they would not. And if they did it would make IRAQ look tame. Why? Every hunter in Wyoming IS A SNIPER.

Ask what has caused the most concern to troops in Iraq -- IED's and Snipers.

(notice it was NOT fully automatic weapons)
