I like the idea behind the free state project. Have a bunch of libertarian-minded individuals move into an area, and turn it into a liberty stronghold and start the revolution at a local level.
Absolutely great idea. But its not working fast enough. Plus New Hampshire is way too cold (I'm from Arizona) and with over a million people, there's huge amounts of political inertia to fight.
Why don't we just make a new state from the ground up?
Think about it, we could write our own constitution based upon the principals of liberty!
I propose that we focus on one of the territories. Specifically the Northern Marianas Islands. They have less than 90,000 people, meaning that far fewer of us need to move compared to NH. And they reportedly have the most equable temperature in the world and a large immigrant population already.
But any of the territories, aside from Puerto Rico, would work exceptionally well. If several thousand of us move into one of these regions, we can take over in no time, with less sacrifice and far more gain.
Just think of all the fun we can have with 2 Senators and a couple of Representatives!
Thoughts?

See if you ever get anyone else to actually join you. If you get 10 people to join you I will be surprised. We've got almost 9,000 signed onto our idea.
We'll be making actual progress in New Hampshire in the mean time. It's really not that cold, but we're not looking for fair-weather friends of freedom anyhow.
