Fighting big government is a

good idea but what they are

doing will not change the large

size government.What is needed

is political action,changes in how

government officials are elected,

getting honest people elected, and

starting and growing one or two

more major parties to challenge

democrats and republicans and

break their monopoly on political

power.

" He fled the "People's Republic of Massachusetts" to escape tyranny. Now he strides the campground in a plaid kilt and mirror shades, an AR-15 semiautomatic rifle across his torso, an immense Scottish sword sheathed between his shoulders.

Could it be he senses a threat we're not seeing?

"Not expecting," says the swordsman, who calls himself Doobie, grinning broadly. "Just ready."

Land of the free and free radicals, lol

Birds of a feather flock together in various encaves in USA, some would own nukes if they could each fondle a weapon that gives them the feeling of power, each indoctrinated with some silly belief. Thankfully they are out number by the sensible people. But tommow there could be trouble with guns and even tanks at a blaze for no other reason than a silly or very stupid belief. God bless America i say that knowing there is no God but USA needs all the help it can get to protect it self from damn stupid citizens and a damn stupid governing system. Any body want a buy a lolipop or a gun? and the suckers will buy both and thats for sure, those sucked in by stupid indoctrination.

One thing these groups do is point out some silly laws and maybe lead to changing them.

I do agree tjhe US needs help and needs to improve the system but it is still better than that in most countries.

Find me a better system any where is the world. Broken, Yes but no where is it better that I am aware of.

I never heard of the Free State Project. Interesting group, non-political.

The group now has 9,400 participants. About 450 have moved to New Hampshire, joining 250 already there.

...One Free Stater spent 58 days in jail after filming in a courthouse lobby and refusing to give police his name. Behind bars, he preached the message of less government to fellow inmates.

...They've even filed each other's nails on a public sidewalk, defying state requirements that manicurists be licensed, their cuticles defying the heavy hand of government.

"This is what America is all about - individual freedom, less intrusive government, self-reliance," says gunsmith Tony Stelik, a political refugee from 1980s' Communist Poland. "Now it's rulers are trying to change it."

Thanks for this.

In theory I support them but the world has changed in the past two hundred years.

It is an interesting movement but so far it is too small to have an impact.,\

I will try to watch them in the future.

What are they doing right in New Hampshire?

FSP participants chose New Hampshire because it has the lowest state and local tax burden in the continental U.S., the second-lowest level of dependence on federal spending in the U.S., a citizen legislature where state house representatives have not raised their $100 per year salary since 1889, the lowest crime levels in the U.S., a dynamic economy with plenty of jobs and investment, and a culture of individual responsibility indicated by, for example, an absence of seatbelt and helmet requirements for adults.
