Imagine you're in a state filled with tolerant people who allow you to live your life any way you want as long as you give them the same respect. Imagine a state where government intervention into our personal lives is virtually non-existent. Imagine doing anything you want with your own mind, body, and other possessions without anyone saying anything about it whether it's drug use, medical procedures, prostitution, suicide, gambling, etc. Imagine keeping what you earn so you can have the best healthcare, secure retirement, superior schools, and still have enough left over to give to your favorite charities knowing the vast majority of what you've given will actually make it to those it's intended to reach. Imagine being able to have more than one husband or wife if everyone involved is a consenting adult. Imagine getting a drivers license without taking a test or giving a social security number. Imagine rave promoters throwing parties without permits, security searching you for drugs, etc. Imagine opening a coffee shop like those in Holland. Imagine actual freedom to do anything you like as long as your actions don't physically harm non-consenting others or their property? Sound like a far off, fictional, utopian fantasy? It's not.
This may very well be a reality during our own lifetimes, especially if you take part in the THE FREE STATE PROJECT. What is the Free State project you might ask? You can find out all you want by following the link I just provided, or you can read my brief explanation. The Free State Project is a group 20,000 freedom-loving small government advocates who will all move to a sparsely populated state in order to make changes to the local laws. This isn't a TAKE OVER of a state. The States in question are all chosen because the local population has shown an outward display of contempt for large government intrusion into their lives and a desire to live both freely and privately. You may ask, "What Can 20,000 Liberty Activists Accomplish?" The states in question are Alaska, Delaware, Idaho, Maine, Montana, New Hampshire, North Dakota, South Dakota, Vermont, and Wyoming. The vote on which state will be on August 15th long after we've hit 5,000 people. All of these states have a small enough population give us an opportunity to make a powerful impact on every election in the state. The entire state of Wyoming has less than half a million people and not all of them vote. Also the people taking part are mostly activists who will spread the word among the locals. This coupled with the influx of others who will come seeking freedom after the laws become more relaxed will give us more than enough people to control, or more accurately reduce control, over the entire state and to keep the federal government's influence to a bare minimum on our private lives. Eventually when other states saw how prosperous, free, and happy the people of the Free State were, they would want to become additions to the project. At the very minimum we'll have one state in the union that is genuinely free. I encourage all of those who value freedom, liberty, privacy, and personal responsibility to take part in the Free State Project. If you sign up in the next few weeks you can still have a say in which state is chosen. Personally I would prefer a Western state, but that's just me. If you’re smart enough to realize the valid role of government doesn’t include making our choices for healthcare, charity, retirement, or education for us, the Free State Project is for you. If you’re a socialist who supports government-sanctioned theft or racism and charity at the point of a gun, the Free State is most definitely NOT for you. I hope to see some of you in the Free State. I intend on buying some land (it's cheap in the Western States), building myself an EARTHSHIP, and opening my own business. I'm thinking a bar called the Porcupine Pub (the symbol of the Free State Project is the Porcupine) or a bar/laundromat called the Rub a Dub Pub. I hope you don't miss this chance to experience actual freedom during our own lifetimes. If you do, I'll try to enjoy my freedom that much more for you. |
