Free State Project Reaches Goal of 20,000 Signups (freestateproject.org)

Okian Warrior writes: As a followup to our recent story, at 11AM Tuesday, Free State Project president Carla Gericke announced the FSP had reached its goal of recruiting 20,000 participants. The 20,000 mark is significant, because it 'triggers the move' – the mass migration of the Free State Project participants who have all agreed to move to New Hampshire within the next five years. So far, almost 2,000 have already relocated to the state.

    "The issue is that getting 20k people to click on an internet link saying "I will move to New Hampshire in the future" is way easier then getting them to move to NH, much less getting them to move to NH and all agree on a single political program."

    It's the same concept as Mars One, except that the organization would have to get its people to move the harsher New Hampshire climate.

    And just picture the guy in prison that has to stamp out the license plates with the Live Free Or Die on them all day long.
