The Free State Project is a plan in which 20,000 or more liberty-oriented people will move to a single state of the U.S. to secure there a free society. This will be accomplished by first reforming state law, opting out of federal mandates, and finally negotiating directly with the federal government for appropriate political autonomy. The Free State Project is a new strategy for liberty in our lifetime. It is worth a look.
