Why aren't we all members of the Free State Project?

[mport1]

If only a small portion of Ron Paul supporters signed up we could reach the project's goal. Wouldn't you want to move if 20,000 other liberty activists were going to be there? Sadly it is looking like the federal government is beyond repair and I think concentrating our efforts in one state would have a much higher chance of success.

The Free State Project is an agreement among 20,000 pro-liberty activists to move to New Hampshire, where they will exert the fullest practical effort toward the creation of a society in which the maximum role of government is the protection of life, liberty, and property. The success of the Project would likely entail reductions in taxation and regulation, reforms at all levels of government, to expand individual rights and free markets, and a restoration of constitutional federalism, demonstrating the benefits of liberty to the rest of the nation and the world.

I'm not because I can't move for many reasons.
I am registered at their forum though.

 

[haaaylee]

i'm going with the cost of moving being an issue........... maybe if we could all have guaranteed jobs? find me one and i'll move.

Ha, after the NH primary... I have my doubts about NH ever being "free" again.

[edit] I take that statement back. Lets keep on fighting folks. Lets not lose hope...

 

[Sematary]

Not everyone, including myself, can just pack up and leave. However, in a few years, when the real estate market turns back around, perhaps I can sell what I have and move.

Because I dont want to live in New Hampshire. I dont cross the mississippi.

 

[yongrel]

Frankly, because I hate New England.

Um.... you live in New England already.

Only in the summer. DC for me.

I would love to join, but I'm a born and bred cheesehead through and through. Plus, I don't want to be far from my family. I'll be rooting for the Free State Project, but it will be from the bleachers.

 

[BuddyRey]

I'm strongly...and I mean strongly considering the move. The only thing holding me here is my family and their reverence for the deep roots we have here. Plus, I'll admit I'm sort of dreading the transition to sub-zero winters!!! :::insert chattering teeth emoticon here::::

Anti-War Republican vote going to McCain FTL. Live Free or Die (100 years in Iraq)

"awww, but McCain came to my townhall meeting and rubbed my pee pee...even though he's a warhawk, I still gotta vote for him."

NH and no other state is currently "free." The point is to get enough liberty lovers there to make it free.

Also, remember that you don't have to move now for it, but wouldn't it be worth any inconveniences to make the move when the 20,000 goal is reached? Even after that you have a 5 year window to straighten everything out and find a job. I think a little sacrifice is worth our freedom, we have already given so much of our time and money to the RP cause.

There is no way I would move to New Hampshire. Nice state, but I prefer being able to kayak in January without a wetsuit.

I've always had a link to their website in my signature because I support it very much, but I'm not a pledged member, since I couldn't ever afford to make that happen. I'll load up everything I own in a uhaul and start driving within 48 hours if somebody out there wants to give me a job and a paycheck advance while I'm still "in between jobs" here in Cali! :-O

I plan on moving within a year or so, possibly to Grafton, NH as part of the Free Town Project, although that might not be possible due to it being in the middle of nowhere (and the accompanying lack of employment opportunities).

Heh. Having been born and raised in Wisconsin, I've had enough of long, sub-zero winters and all that snow. New Hampshire would only be moreso.

Places like Wisconsin and New England are beautiful vacation destinations, but not places I personally want to live. Besides, freedom shouldn't mean everyone who wants it has to relocate to some tiny, out-of-the-way place. Sounds too much like a "free speech zone" to me. Let's keep trying to make every state a truly free state again.

I really like that idea. That's something I could participate in my state.

I know what you mean about the winters, I usually like the cold, but driving in it just puts me on edge all the time. My commute last winter was about 25 miles, virtually every day I was risking my ass to get to work and back; I moved much closer now thank goodness.
