In 2004, New Hampshire had 2 Republican Senators and 2 Republican Representatives in Washington. Now they're down to just 1 Senator.

So, sure, the Free State Project hasn't worked. Plus, it's stupid to make conservative or libertarian policies look like something new residents are trying to impose on old timers.

If you want to move to New Hampshire, fine, you can offset the liberals moving up from Massachusetts. But if you announce yourself as an adherent of some out-of-state movement intending to change the states politics, be prepared to have a lot of doors slammed in your face.

*******

A lot of Internet arguments tend to degenerate into "They did it first" and become pointless. But in this case, it's clear that the Mises-Rothbard-Rockwell-Paul guys were arrogant pr*cks first, and at this point anybody who simply dismisses them has more than enough reason to do so.

The Free State Movement isn't just about getting conservatives elected. It's about working bottom up to bring liberty to the state. Yes we want to see more tea party favorites and liberty candidates elected but what do you do between elections? Examples of liberty work by the free state project:

Liberty Sign Wave at Keene High School. Letting kids know they CAN leave government-run education and still go to college and get a real job. Less government public school, more homeschool and less taxes for schools we didn't ask for.

Liberty Homeschoolers mob NH state house

Keene plans massive tax revolt

Liberty protesters query income tax pushers at legislature
