The primary goal is to first achieve a majority in the legislature and then work towards filling the other branches of government. Just as many formerly “democratic” politicians in Idaho have infiltrated and became “republicans” to join with the party in power, FSP members can infiltrate the two dominant parties and take them over or support the various 3rd parties and raise them to greater political standing. Are there 20,000 republican and democratic activists in Idaho now? Imagine what 20,000 FSP members, dedicated to liberty, could do to the dominant parties at the local and state level.

Assuming you can achieve a majority in the first place, what do you do if the voters don't happen to like your agenda and vote you out next election? Are you planning on running like regular Republicans and only then revealing your true agenda after you get elected?

Do you have a contingency plan in place if you encounter major resistance from the majority of voters?

What's your long-term plan to "soften" the voters so that they will be receptive to your ideas? What would a typical campaign slogan be?

You can drop dead for all I care.
You can disrupt this thread all you like.
BUT
The idea of the FSP is going to grow by leaps and bounds.
It's going to happen.
Get use to it

what do you do if the voters don't happen to like your agenda and vote you out next election?

The idea is to find a state with a populous that already has a large number of liberty minded individuals. They could be Republicans, conservatives, libertarians, independents or anything else. There are a lot of people, regular folks who are not registered to vote as they think their vote doesn't matter because we're screwed no matter who wins. There are more of these people out there than you may realize. They have a "just leave me a lone" attitude and would enthusiastically vote for the ideals expressed by the Free State Project and many would vote with their feet. I live in NJ and people are being taxed out of the state. I know people actively looking for a place to move to. BTW, you talked about seatbelt laws. Around here they have police roadblocks to check and see if your wearing your belt one day, if your registration is ok the next. Do you feel safer when sitting in traffic wating to get a bill of clean health from the police(or a hefty fine)?
