Man arrested for crossing the road to buy a pizza, AZ police purchases $4 million jet but doesn’t have the money to pay someone to fly it, health care discussion, TN repeals law prohibiting live fish from barber shops, and a TV star who visited Saudi Arabia has been sentenced to death for sorcery.
The Australian government is after a man who lives in the US because he posts satire on the internet and the kangaroos are offended, a 200-year-old cheese rolling race has been canceled due to health and safety concerns, the Downsizer Dispatch, the NH legislature debates whether to make milk or cider the official drink of the state, and the Venezuelan government wants to crack down on the internet.
The FSP reached an important milestone yesterday – the halfway mark of 10,000 participants! Here’s the press release from the FSP:
America’s boldest experiment in liberty, the Free State Project, officially signed its 10,000th participant today. The organization is dedicated to migrating 20,000 pro-liberty activists who agree to downsize government to New Hampshire. The announcement comes in advance of the Free State Project’s annual winter convention, the New Hampshire Liberty Forum.
Jason Sorens, founder of the Project, said, “This is a great milestone for us. It feels good to be half-way there. There’s still much to do, but the project is continuing to grow and I am confident we’ll reach our goal of 20,000 participants.”
Participants come from many backgrounds but all agree to move to New Hampshire, where they will “exert the fullest practical effort toward the creation of a society in which the maximum role of government is the protection of life, liberty, and property.” The agreement avoids political labels and allows individual participants to set their own course to reach their goal.
“The Free State Project has no political platform or membership dues”, Sorens stated. “We have participants who identify as conservative, classical liberal, libertarian, anarchist, voluntaryist, you name it. The things we care about are: Do you want more liberty and less government? Are you willing to work toward it? Are you going to be a good, neighborly person in your community? If so, the Free State Project may be just what you’re looking for.” (more…)
