		Although Sorens founded the movement, he is currently the Chairman of the project's board of directors, a role he described as less involved.
		Sorens acknowledged that there will be disagreements on certain issues -- such as abortion -- goals and strategy among Free Staters since the project itself does not delineate any particular policies.
		Sorens personally favors the last strategy, he said, because he maintains that Libertarians are non-partisan.

	The Free State Project: An Interview with Jason Sorens
		Jason Sorens: At the time, around 2001, there was a great deal of discussion among libertarians about the failure of libertarian electoral and political strategies up to that point.
		Sorens: It basically means that the tenth amendment is taken seriously — that the federal government doesn’t get involved in matters that are, according to the constitution, purely state and local matters, from education to housing to health and welfare.
		Sorens: I think his influence was particularly in the realm of showing how competing philosophies of justice fell down at one point or another.

		Jason Sorens, 26, who received his doctorate May 26 of this year, envisioned a plan in late 2001 to move at least 20,000 liberty-minded folks to a single state, therewith affecting the political climate of that region.
		Sorens' plan is not contingent upon specific political actions or ideals -- “freedom-minded” or “liberty-oriented” is sufficient qualification for membership.

		Sorens takes OrHai’s idea a step further, saying that there’s no reason Free Staters have to announce to their native neighbors that they are indeed Free Staters.
		Jason Sorens talks to his fellow Free Staters about responsibility, tells them that things will not be easy, that the status quo is comfortable to most people.

		SORENS: We also have a good proportion of married people, I think about 40 percent was what we found, but very few married with children, about 10 or 15 percent.
		Jason already alluded to it, that back in the '90s New Hampshire elected four state representatives and I was the first person and so far only person to ever have served as the chief of staff to a seated Libertarian delegation.
		Jason, you mentioned that one way the project could leverage its impact with existing New Hampshire citizens is to educate them about the opportunities for policy in a Libertarian direction.

		Jason Sorens said he hoped to create an "autonomous territory".
		Jason Sorens, a lecturer in political science at Yale University and president of the project, said he wants to create an "autocratic territory" and the Free State Project will follow the examples of the Mormons in Utah, the French separatists in Quebec, Canada, and the conservative Amish religious communities.
		But Professor Sorens claims membership is soaring as people become angry over increasing restrictions on personal freedom, government surveillance of private individuals and greater state power in the justice system.

		Inspired by an article published in The Libertarian Enterprise on July23, 2001, Jason Sorens, a Ph.D. candidate at Yale University, argued that the thinly scattered libertarian activism was failing.
		The logical conclusion was that would be necessary for libertarians togeographically concentrate their efforts in order to achieve "liberty in our lifetime." As a result, the Free State Project wasfounded on September 1, 2001.
		Sorens continuesto remain active as Chairman of the Board of Directors.

		Not only was Sorens underestimating the difficulty required to change the Vermont Constitution, Pollina said, but adding 20,000 people to the state will be a tremendous burden and people here will resent it.
		Sorens admitted that he had moved around a lot in his life, and considered nowhere to be home.
		It is obvious that he has not felt what it is like to have a home, or else he would understand why those of us who have had the option of voting for Libertarian politicians but chose not to would prefer our home, Vermont, to be what it is. A weird mix.

		Jason Sorens, a 26-year-old Yale University political science graduate student, started the project after publishing an essay about the idea in online journal Libertarian Enterprise (webleyweb.com/tle) in July 2001.
		Sorens is sensitive to the danger of coming off like some rube group of Constitution-drunk, utopia-chasing interlopers.
		Although Sorens recognizes that the employment prospects in a small-population state may discourage some would-be converts, he imagines that the antiregulation, low-tax policies of the Free State, whichever state it is, will help create an attractive climate capable of drawing more businesses and citizens.

		Sorens figured it would be best if the state had a population below 1.5 million and a political culture already sympathetic to libertarian thinking.
		Jason Sorens’ dream is off to a better start than the soggy failures of the past.
		As Sorens has written, New Hampshire has a history based on “settlement patterns centered around small towns occupying rills, dales, and valleys” that gave rise to a “town meeting system [that] allowed citizens to keep their government officials close enough to ‘grab them by the scruff of their necks’ if they overstepped their power.

		Sorens was also a very nice person whose interest in the FSP was supported by the thesis he wrote to earn his Ph.D -- secession movements in the 20th century.
		Sorens' explanations for some of these concerns have been lucid and in keeping with his decent character.

		The Free State Project is primarily the brainchild of Jason Sorens, 26, a political science lecturer at Yale.

		Sorens believes New Hampshire was a good choice because it is fairly wealthy, pays more in taxes to the federal government than it gets back, and has no large metropolitan areas.

		Sorens advocated slashing state and local budgets and eliminating “substantial federal interference by refusing to take highway funds and the strings attached to them.” Threatening secession could be used as a bargaining tool, he said.
		After Sorens' essay was posted on the Internet, people with similar outlooks and reading lists jumped on board, starting up Internet chat rooms on the subject of a Free State.

		In the essay that launched the project, founder Jason Sorens wrote of concentrating individualists with the goal of "reducing government to the minimal functions of protecting life, liberty and property." The project isn't overtly secessionist, but it reserves the tactic as a last resort.
		Thomas Naylor's bicycle-riding communitarians butt heads with Jason Sorens's live-and-let-live libertarian allies.
		They would probably be happier to be governed according to their own values, and they might even get along better with one another if freed from each other's conflicting ideologies.

		As for Sorens, he's so taken with Vermont that he conducted a scouting mission to Vermont in February.
		He also told of an exchange with Clavelle during which the mayor was asked to draw a map to show what parts of the state would be most welcoming to Libertarians.
		Sorens' and the Free State Project's enthusiasm for Vermont is also based in part on the results of their research into the so-called hippie invasion here in the early 1970s.

	Liberté Chérie - The Free State Project in The Context of History
		The project, founded by Jason Sorens, is a plan to move 20,000 or more liberty-oriented people to New Hampshire, where they will work within the political system to work toward a free society based on classical liberal principles.
		Sorens seems to think so: “Applying the same ratio to the FSP's membership goal, we get 1.2 million population for a state in which 20,000 party members could win majorities at the state level.” The differences between Quebec and New Hampshire notwithstanding, it seems that 20,000
		Sorens claims that we could increase our impact sixty fold: “In a country of nearly 300 million [...] one out of every 3,000 Americans is a freedom activist.

		When the Free State Project began, the idea was for a collection of people with similar political beliefs to choose one state where they would be able to have a voting block, a shared identity, and a common interest in supporting mostly libertarian beliefs.
		On Oct. 1, 2003, Sorens and his group announced that New Hampshire had beaten out Wyoming and eight other finalists for the Free State designation.
		It was decided that the group's mascot would be the porcupine -- an animal that is ''cute, non-aggressive, but you don't want to step on them," according to the organization's website.

		In short, Jason Sorens later joined me on a general free state path from July 2001 until he and the FSP took a wrong exit last October down a dead-end New Hampshire street.
