I am a member of the FSP. Please add me to your list.

Wyoming, Idaho and Montana were my top three choices, followed by Vermont and New Hampshire. I lived for 6.5 years in Flagstaff, AZ, and prefer the "Big Sky," but will move when FSP officially kicks off.

The "Galt's Gulch" similarity with the FSP concept is most intriguing to me. I have been fascinated with that concept since I read "Atlas Shrugged" in 1958, and would love to contribute, however modestly, to the effort.

You're added, brother porcupine; see ya in the Free State.

Wyoming, Idaho and Montana were my top three choices, followed by Vermont and New Hampshire. I lived for 6.5 years in Flagstaff, AZ, and prefer the "Big Sky," but will move when FSP officially kicks off.

Pretty close to my choices, but I picked South Dakota over Idaho, with hopes that an initial success in one western state could eventually spread to an adjoining one- and the numbers work best for Montana and Wyoming.

The "Galt's Gulch" similarity with the FSP concept is most intriguing to me. I have been fascinated with that concept since I read "Atlas Shrugged" in 1958, and would love to contribute, however modestly, to the effort.

I'd bet that Atlas Shrugged was very much a prototype for Jason when his initial thoughts about the FSP began to gell into his first studies and position papers. Too, you might find the name of a porcupine-flavored trailer court in the fictional description of the FSP movement in 2006 by fellow porcupine Boston T. Party [FSP member #5000!] to be of interest; he too favours a Wyoming initial effort. But if we do become neighbors in the Cowboy State or in Big Sky Country, I think you can look for me around a new little community called Penman.
