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-

I've formerly lived and worked in Alaska and think I could make a go of it there, but I suspect it's probably highest among the states that have been *opted-out* by FSPers. Delaware was my last choice of the ten, though a nice locale in which to reside; it's pretty out that way, as it is in Maine. But the numbers in those two states don't jibe well with the hoped-for political effect.

You may have a point and if the FSP groundswell attracts numbers twice or 5 times the barebones 20K minimum, ID or NH might not be bad choices for the following effort. Initially, however, I want to see the quicker success possible in a state with a smaller number of resident voters where the effect can be made to happen soonest.

I have 640 acres of land in eastern Wyoming on the SD state line [literally within sight of SD] and some ideas on how to best utilize it for the FSP project, particularly in the earlier stages. I think we can do a little better than having you flop on the floor, though. Something similar can probably be made to happen in MT, though I don't yet have property there. But there is a town for sale there....
