It should be run as a for-profit business (even if it loses money) with completely open books. There would be a one-time membership fee, and people would have to agree to the non-initiation of force and to Move to NH to join (people who have already moved would be counted) It should have a "full time" media relations/advertising person. It should endorse anyone who agrees to reduce the government as much as possible. It should ban Keith from any leadership position (lol).
Its about time they hashed this shit out.

It should have been done 3 years ago when the 20k number wasn't reached. But nobody gives a shit in the organization enough to do that, or they do and they're too much of a pussy to disagree and lose their precious current or possible future spot as a useless board member.
I think to make it successful we'd need to pay at least one person in the organization to work full time promoting the FNHP. This whole volunteer thing just doesn't work in reality, thats why the FSP ended up with Republicans and a former military intelligence agent in charge.
You know who should join? Terry Funk. And he should pound you into a puddle of tardpaste with his rock hard fists.

It should have Doug Stanhope as celebrity spokesperson.
What are you in the same union, the International Brotherhood of OldFarts?

I would recommend membership be left open to people who aren't just part of the 100% Libertarian group. So I would say yes a Ron Paul type should be allowed to join even though they are only 80 to 90% there. If you leave it to just the 100% people your recruit pool is only 4% of the population. You would be excluding people like Mark cause he isn't in the 100% club of Libertarianism.
We should go through with this, I see no good reason not to.

Meh.

Oh come on, it can be fun. And possibly profitable.
Looks like you care, Mark does, I do, and I'm sure various people from the FSP would be willing to jump ships. The FSP pioneered the movement, it just needs to be done better, with the people willing to get active allowed to get active.:(We should go through with this, I see no good reason not to.

I just don't think enough people care.
Does it have to be in NH?
They can move again. They jumped the gun.Does it have to be in NH?
I think its a little late for that. The people are already there.

The free state project has already done something that none of you has. It's signed up 9,800 people.Wow, that is so impressive.

I'm not in it for the PR, and the government counldn't find their own arse with both bloody hands anyway. |

Good questions.Does it have to be in NH?
Where should it be?
I'd like a secondary place farther south to go in the winter.
But I don't think the goal should be to take over any state. That isn't going to happen.
Hypothetically, how many people would it take?

Need all be participants though? Can't some be convinced of the virtues of liberty?

Drill! Just drill! Just fucking drill!
Drill! Don't stand just standing still!
Drill! Don't count not on any goodwill!
Drill! Don't feel! Don't heal, fire the ill!
Drill! Count your yield, not what you spill!
Drill! Drill here! Drill now! Just fucking drill!
I have not read through the whole thread, so please forgive me if this has already been brought up. I think a major issue with the FSP is that they want to get 20,000 to sign up. Who cares if 20,000 sign up, and only 100 move? What needs to be created is an organization built to help people move and encourage people to move, ASAP, not within five years of 20,000 signing up.

You know that this entire subject is being debated because (some of) the people doing the bulk of the work on the FSP dispute the validity of the 9800, right?
