I am curious to hear from you who are free state project members. Please give us your personal thoughts. Specifically, are you really going to do it, that is, move?

If Wyoming or South Dakota are chosen as the project's goal state, I expect to relocate within 30 days of the announcement, since I have family land in that area. I can do almost as well if it's Montana; Idaho, Alaska or North Dakota might take me a little longer, but still, I foresee no immediate problems, just a bit more of a delay.

I really don't think the project is as viable in most of the potential eastern seaboard locations, and a couple of them are on my *opt-out* list. But New Hampshire and maybe Vermont have possibilities, and I've had some really touching offers of assistance with initial housing and relocation from some of those already resident there, so that spirit is also very much a factor in my considerations of a possible eastward move, though I don't favour that course.

On October 01, we'll find out. And I have a porcupine suit all ready to wear for my first Halloween party in our new home.

I better pick up a set of snow tires and chains, something I've not had much need for for my last half-dozen years hear in Memphis.

"Please give us your personal thoughts."

It all depends on what state is chosen.

Real estate prices, especially rural ag, and state housing construction ordinances would play significantly in my decision.

Climate makes little difference to me and I think far too much attention is being paid to the subject.

Im concerned about some specifics of how this is supposed to occur. Are we aiming at a specific region within these states? 20,000 spread widely over any state will have absolutely no effect and make us out to be the fools that many claim. Yes, Ive considered the economics, pro and con, of what Im suggesting.

Ive always wondered what kind of retard would live on a volcano (or a major fault or hanging out over the ocean). As much as I like Wyoming, I wont be parking my family on a caldera. I doesnt matter to me if it might not blow for hundreds or thousands of years, its there.

Hello Archy, and all other FSP members and friends.

Yes, there are States which some of us have opted out of. For me, those States are Alaska, South Dakota and North Dakota, and Delaware. Maybe I would reconsider the Dakotas if one of them was actually picked.

My personal favorites are New Hampshire, Idaho, Wyoming, Vermont, and Montana, pretty much in that order. Of course my top 2 States have high populations, Idaho at 1.8 million and New Hampshire at 1.3 million. However, I believe that is where the most initial freedom and liberty can be enjoyed while increasing that liberty and freedom in the long run for maximum effect.

In regards to moving, I could move to New Hampshire or Vermont within 1 year, because I live in New York State and have the ability to scout it out and look for work, housing, etc. I have never been to MT, ID, or WY and cannot afford to travel there until spring 2004, at the earliest. (Note: anyone living in MT, WY, or ID who would let me sleep on their floor... heheheh)

God bless you all, I only pray that Americans have a serious wake-up in regards to Natural Rights, our Constitution, and related matters.

As my high school economics teacher told us often: Americans have become fat, dumb, and lazy.

Or, in the words of Thomas Jefferson to John Adams:

"Yes, we did produce a near-perfect republic. But will they keep it? Or will they, in the enjoyment of plenty, lose the memory of freedom?"

In Liberty-
