State Rep. Cynthia Chase made herself famous not that long ago when she wrote “In the opinion of this Democrat, Free Staters are the single biggest threat” to achieving socialism in New Hampshire. Well…she didn’t actually say “achieving socialism.” I just added that to make her thought process clearer (after all, she’s a recent import from Rhode Island). But as each day goes by, it appears her problems with diversity in New Hampshire seem to be increasing. This report comes from Fox News yesterday:
Headline says “Libertarian movement gaining steam in New Hampshire.” It reads “Libertarians eager to move beyond mere ideological victories are making progress in a long-term effort to migrate to one state to concentrate efforts and reshape communities based on their ideals of less government and individualism. The grand social experiment can be traced to a 2001 essay by a Yale doctoral student who lamented about Libertarians’ failure to get candidates elected and argued the best way to make a real impact is for 20,000 activists to move to a relatively small state with low taxes and job opportunities, then making inroads in government, communities and courts.
In other words, the incomparable heroic Free State Project (FSP).
But wait! FSP participants aren’t required to move to New Hampshire until the goal of 20,000 sign-ups is reached…and then only within five years thereafter.
So what’s up with the 1,200 liberty & freedom activists who have already “made the move” (of which I am one)?
“They’re eager beavers,” FSP President Carla Gierke happily told Fox News.
Heh! Indeed we are! Or rather, “eager porcupines” (for the FSP’s mascot). You can read the whole Fox News article HERE.
