I have been suggesting that the parts of the states outside NYC, Philadelphia, St. Louis, and Chicago secede and form new states outside the socialism loving cities.

Here's a previous but not the same story about this posted earlier.

I seriously doubt Vermont would allow this town to secede. Read Article 4 Section 3 of the US Constitution. In order for this town to seceed, both the Vermont and New Hampshire legilatures would have to approve it as well as the US Congress

Article IV.

Section 3
New States may be admitted by the Congress into this Union; but no new States shall be formed or erected within the Jurisdiction of any other State; nor any State be formed by the Junction of two or more States, or parts of States, without the Consent of the Legislatures of the States concerned as well as of the Congress.

from website: "We are not tied to any political party or organization; we do not run candidates for election, we do not financially support or endorse candidates, and we do not oppose or endorse legislation."

Then, what do you do exactly? If people are going to move all the way to NH, I would assume there's some thing in it for them, in the way of shaping a state so that it maximizes individual freedom. If you don't run candidates or endorse them, how are you going to really make a difference?
