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

[FSP-Rebel]

Thought I should get around to posting in this thread.

I am not moving for 2 reasons.

1. It's New Hampshire.
2. I already live in the 2nd freeist state in the Union.

1. What is that supposed to mean?
2. Yeah?

Regarding #1, You must be kidding by slandering NH, you have little to no standing with that. And, NH is numeral uno as the #1 free state so far by the Mercatus Center, plus we have a worldwide movement that is padding that. Accept it and move on. So, as far as trashing NH as whatever... Watch your words, cause I'll be peeping and coming back with the flame-throwers. Speak wise, cause it will come back to haunt ya. I won't even need to bring out the crew to deal with your mantra.

Where does Stossel live?

[He Who Pawns]

Why, because they chose the wrong state. We need another free-state project somewhere with nice weather and cheap land.

 

[Andrew-Austin]

Why can't we just have two Free states, the second one can be Texas. We have our own power grid, and it never gets very cold down here.

 

[He Who Pawns]

I think Nevada would be better than TX, but certainly Texas has good weather and cheap land.

Problem with Texas is the large population. NV has a relatively small population, especially when you look at population density vs NH.

 

[scandinaviany3]

likewise

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...

Agreed...maybe montana or the western US states..not NH

 

[He Who Pawns]

Not to mention that Texas is being flooded with Hispanics, which makes "taking over" the state nearly impossible.

Awesome, professionally done video of the Free State Project for those who are interested in it:

To be fair, Ron Paul should've done more campaigning there.

What kind of artistic and cultural opportunities exist in New Hampshire? I'm an aspiring full-time professional musician and my sister is a musical theater actress.

I'm not fond of east coast weather, and all of the eastern seaboard is waaayyyy to crowded for me.

I'd prefer to make Idaho or some other Inland western state that isn't too close to Mexico for the free state project. Idaho still has the decent Weather of most of the pacific northwest with 4 distinct seasons but no really extreme blizzards, no tornados, no hurricanes, no really extreme heatwaves, no "Noreasters".

You could try the Wyoming Free state project.

This is interesting.

The Freedom Index: The Constitutional Report Card
http://www.thenewamerican.com/files/Freedom_Index_111-1.pdf

Wyoming has more Constitutional Congressmen than New Hampshire. In fact, NH scored embarrassing low!


Wyoming

Lummis (R) 90%


New Hampshire

1 Shea-Porter (D) 30%
2 Hodes (D) 20%

Should have been in Wyoming. It makes more sence IMO

 

[Libertarian Ideals]

If you're a small government libertarian-conservative, you probably would be interested in the Montana, Idaho and Wyoming region. If you are a consistent radical libertarian who opposes war, racism, intolerant cultural conservative statism and NSA snooping with as much veracity as your opposition to economic regulations and taxation, there is no better place than New Hampshire.

For example
a. Drug war civil disobedience wouldn't fly in Wyoming but it is making waves in New Hampshire.
b. Marriage equality is a long way off in Wyoming. With the socially tolerant and anti-tax culture (very rare mix indeed) in New Hampshire, marriage equality was passed this legislative session.
b. Wyoming has next to no tech jobs, but New Hampshire has one of the highest rates of internet usage and a blooming tech industry.
New Hampshire is the black sheep of the east coast and it's Live Free or Die motto and lack of seatbelt laws makes it subject to plenty of snide remarks from Boston city dwellers.

 

[RM918]

If I was ever going to move out of state, I'd do it all the way and get the hell out of this country.

 

[muzzled dogg]

too many boston shitheads

I live in Massachusetts and I hear Conservatives around here praise New Hampshire all the time. If there are people moving to NH from Mass, they're probably small-government Conservative. Just saying.

I'm not sure. The people at the Free State Project forum might be able to answer that for you.
