	Free State Project - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Free State Project (FSP) is a plan to have 20,000 or more "liberty-oriented" people move to a single state of the United States, with the intent of influencing local politics and policy.
		The Free State Project is an agreement among 20,000 pro-liberty activists 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 Free State Project inspired or contributed to several splinter groups, such as the Free State Wyoming, which was created independently of the Free State Project, but which absorbed some of those who had voted for a western state and were disappointed by the selection of New Hampshire.

		The Free State Project (FSP) is a nonprofit corporation chartered in Clark County, Nevada.
		"The Free State Project is a plan in which 20,000 or more liberty-oriented people will move to a single state of the U.S. 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."

		Project members say secession is not their goal, but that the provision could be a useful bargaining chip.
		Though the premise of the project is that 20,000 committed individuals could be a genuine force in a small state, members bristle at the suggestion they want to "take over" a state.

		Whatever a free state is, it's certainly not being served and protected by regimes posing as constitutionally authorized state and federal governments.
		The FSP is specifically not affiliated with any political party, but rather a coalition of “libertarians, classical liberals, constitutionalists and others who believe that, at a maximum, the role of civil government should be the protection of citizens' rights to life, liberty and property.”

		Therefore, the state of New Hampshire shall not participate in a national identification card system; nor shall the department of safety amend the procedures for applying for a driver’s license under RSA 263 or an identification card under RSA 260:21.
		State sovereignty was a major issue during the civil war, but the claim that one human being has a right to own another human being was a poor selection for an issue to hang state sovereignty on.
		A drivers license is identification to prove you have passed whatever test the state that issued it deems is required to operate a motor vehicle.

		That movement, the Free State Project, aims to make all of New Hampshire a laboratory for libertarian politics by recruiting libertarian-leaning people from across the country to move to New Hampshire and throw their collective weight around.

		I am not wishing failure upon the FSP's, if they succeed in their stated goals that is a good thing.

		And, yes, states have a right to take back (resume) powers delegated to the federal government – in a word the right to secede from the Union," he wrote in his Aug.

		After the freest state is chosen by FSP members (probably this Fall), they hope to eventually persuade at least 20,000 FSP members to move to that state to enjoy freedom, and maybe also work to enhance the quality of freedom there.

		A silly and irrelevant question, but I was wondering whether the plural subject in "The Free State Project have voted" (as opposed to "has voted") was a UK cultural thing...
		It's the state with the fewer crime, one of the richest per capita, one of the less taxed, one with low unemployment and poverty rate and finally one in wich you can carry a gun without much problems...

		The use of force against a state would look more like a declaration of war than an infliction of punishment and would probably be considered by the party attacked as a dissolution of all previous compacts by which it might be bound."
		It has had a devastating legacy for future generations of Americans, in that since the issue of secession was brutally settled, the federal government is free to run roughshod over the safeguards envisioned by the Framers, namely the Ninth and Tenth Amendments.
