Actually, some national Libertarian organization (I forget which one) sort of decided to do just that. They chose New Hampshire, because it's the state with the laws already most closely matching their goals, and also because the population is small enough that several thousand people of a like mindset moving in could genuinely affect things.

Thousands have already moved, and around ten thousand have pledged to do so, IIRC.
You're referring to The Free State Project.

The Free State Project is a plan in which 20,000 or more liberty-oriented people will move to New Hampshire, where they may work within the political system to reduce the size and scope of government. The success of the Free State Project would likely entail reductions in burdensome taxation and regulation, reforms in state and local law, an end to federal mandates, and a restoration of constitutional federalism, demonstrating the benefits of liberty to the rest of the nation and the world.

These people seem a little more reasonable than Radar though, on the surface at least.
