NH Free Press Reports on FSP Reaching 10K

by | Mar 15, 2010 | 4 comments

From the NH Free Press’ Kat Kanning, a more detailed story covering the Free State Project reaching 10,000 signers, complete with several reasons liberty activists made the move NH:

Ten thousand people have now signed up with the Free State Project to move to New Hampshire – halfway to the group’s goal of 20,000. I am one of the approximately 1000 people who have already made the move. It’s been over 5 years since I packed up one daughter, one cat and a truckload of stuff to drive from Texas to New Hampshire. Since then my life’s been turned upside down. I now run a newspaper, I’ve been arrested three times, and I don’t think twice about waving a sign on a street corner.

There are a few main areas where people have chosen to move, but there are freestaters scattered all over the New Hampshire. Concentrations are in Manchester, Concord, Keene, the seacoast and Grafton. Keene has become the focus of Voluntaryist action, from civil disobedience to filming bureaucrats in their misdeeds. Manchester houses more of the political activists who work toward getting freedom-minded candidates into office and enacting pro-liberty legislation. Grafton was the site of the Free Town Project and now has the highest concentration of freestaters in any one town. (more…)

Free State Project Reaches 10,000 Signers!

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…)

Radio TowerLiberty-minded people called “Talkback” on WKBK last week to discuss Molly Kelly’s seemingly broken promise, the nature of the state, inflation, voting, KPD breaking and stealing Sam’s camera. Listen as Cynthia and Kendall Lane excuse the police acting like thugs. It’s sad.

Grab the archive.

Please join us for our weekly chat and calling sessions on Saturday mornings from 11a-12p in the Liberty Radio Network Chat room. If you’re online, you can listen to Talkback streamed live via the Liberty Radio Network and if you’re in the Keene area you can tune in to WKBK 1290 AM or 104.1 FM.
