WestVirginiaRebel Posted November 21, 2014 Share Posted November 21, 2014 UK Telegraph: Nirvana for a libertarian in New Hampshire is a gay married couple guarding a stash of marijuana with an AK47. “I could live with that,” said Ian Freeman, a leading light of the Free State Project and one of the pathfinders in a mass migration of like-minded people to the New England state. He left Florida and moved to New Hampshire to push the libertarian agenda in a state whose motto is “Live free or die” - one of more than 1,600 to have done so. They are the first tranche of 16,000 people who have pledged to up sticks and make the state a “beacon of liberty”. Depending on one’s point of view the Free State Project is just a logical extension of the libertarian tradition, or a bunch of disruptive anarchists who have taken a perverse pleasure in niggling the authorities. Mr Freeman, 34, hosts a radio show which is syndicated around the country. He is also ran for governor on behalf of the New Hampshire Liberty Party. The Free State Project was founded more than a decade ago by Jason Sorens, who was studying for a doctorate at Yale at the time. His dream was to trigger a mass migration of 20,000 libertarians to a state with a small population by early 2016. The idea was to follow the example of the Mormon migration to Utah in the mid 19th century. A number of states including Maine,Wyoming, Vermont and Alaska were considered as candidates for the movement before supporters decided on New Hampshire. ________ The libertarian invasion?
