ESCAPE HATCH - THE FREE STATE PROJECT

If Kerry wins, and you're looking for someplace to flee to, may I recommend New Hampshire?

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.

Yes, I'm serious.

These people are not kooks or cranks. Just some ordinary folks who weary of excessive Federal nanny-statism. I've been watching this organization since before they even had a web site, when it was nothing but one man with a speculative essay and a dream.

I'm not currently planning on moving there myself. At least not right now. But for the last 3+ years, it's been in the back of my mind.

And I keep the site bookmarked.

Just in case.

1 I wish you'd move to New Guniea [sic] or somewhere like that so we wouldn't have to listen to your crap every day...
