FSP News - December 2011

Liberty Forum

The Liberty Forum is just two short months away!

We are pleased to announce that Peter Schiff will be the Friday night keynote speaker.  In addition to his after dinner talk... he has agreed to do a 1.5 hour seminar on Friday on investing.  You are not going to want to miss it.

We also have added many more sessions, a session on 'mini farming' and a session on 'the fateful fork'... both with tie ins to Saturday night's keynote Joel Salatin.

Panels on things going on in NH, a jobs in NH  panel, an unconference and MORE.... there will be more than enough sessions that you will NOT want to miss.
www.freestateproject.org/libertyforum has the details on speakers, sessions, schedules and more.  Sign up now!

We have also opened up an 'a la carte' menu for those that can't make the whole event.  That is something you won't see at most conferences but the FSP believes in CHOICE.

We also have vendor options, sponsor options and really inexpensive ad options.  Support the FSP and hit a great target audience with your message.
Any questions feel free to email libertyforum@freestateproject.org

Queen's Quill: Keeping New Hampshire Awesome

You know when Tom Woods is touting the Free State Project as a solution, as he does in Rollback, we have arrived. Which means, if you’re not in New Hampshire, you haven’t... arrived, that is. But many others have and are, with this month bringing another bumper crop of new movers. Free State Now has also been hard at work getting more signers. More movers, more signers, more chances for Liberty in Our Lifetime. We appreciate your support.

FSP and NH in the Media

The President of the FSP, along with the director of a documentary about the FSP (Libertopia), were interviewed on NH Public Radio's The Exchange.  You can listen to the discussion here.

Reason TV Interviewed FSP President Carla Gericke.

New Hampshire is the least corrupt state, Manchester, NH is the 2nd Happiest City in the US and NH residents are most likely to live near a ski area. 

The Free State Goes to Harvard

On a cool Saturday morning in November, three Free Staters found themselves in a car traveling south towards Cambridge. The three FSPers were traveling to the number one institution of higher leaning in the world to talk about the New Hampshire Advantage, the Free State Project and to listen to a wide range of speakers, including a libertarian Harvard professor.

Traffic was very light so the car arrived early to a mostly empty building. Keith, James and Greg were able to set-up the FSP table before the event started.

Do you like liberty?  Do you want to get involved with the system and make a difference?  Would you like to be a State Representative?  If you answered yes to all three questions, continue reading because I know how to make it happen.

 

I’ve been involved with dozens of campaigns.  Many of those campaigns were successful campaigns for State Representative in New Hampshire.  Before I go into the how to get elected part, I’ll explain why you have the best chances of getting elected in NH.

Merchandise

It’s that most wonderful time of the year again - time for another 'adjusted' holiday favorite. Sung to the tune of, well, you can figure it out…

O Porcupine, O Porcupine,
Your pointed quills delight us,
They’re good against the fascist rule,
They’ll never be a statist tool,
O Porcupine, O Porcupine,
Your pointed quills delight us.

O Porcupine, O Porcupine,
Your wisdom is such pleasure,
Gather the free in warm embrace,
Oppressive laws we will efface,
O Porcupine, O Porcupine,
Your wisdom is such pleasure.

O Porcupine, O Porcupine,
So dapple is your color,
Accepting all of liberty,
Those in a suit or cut-off tee,
O Porcupine, O Porcupine,
So dapple is your color.

O Porcupine, O Porcupine,
Your chaste entreat like music,
For in our lifetime we’ll be free,
The end of thralldom we shall see
O Porcupine, O Porcupine,
Your chaste entreat like music.

There are new items on the FSP Store page. I’d tell you all about them, but why ruin the surprise. OK, fine, so they’re not really new, but we should have polo shirts back in stock shortly and more of the Don’t Tread on Me Gadsden Porc shirts. Although, the large magnets are new. The awesome Reflecto-Porc that was so popular at the last PorcFest and we now have our bumper stickers available as magnets to. So order your FSP merchandise now to assure delivery by Christmas, Festivus, Hanukkah, Boxing Day, Kwanzaa, Modranect, Pancha Ganapati, Yalda, Feast of the Winter Veil, Holiday Number 11 or, well, whenever you want to get it.

The Free State Project is an effort to recruit 20,000 liberty-loving people to move to New Hampshire. We are looking for neighborly, productive, tolerant folks from all walks of life, of all ages, creeds, and colors who agree to the political philosophy expressed in our Statement of Intent, that government exists at most to protect people's rights, and should neither provide for people nor punish them for activities that interfere with no one else. freestateproject.org

The Free State Project (FSP) is an effort to recruit 20,000 pro-liberty activists to move to New Hampshire, where they will exert the fullest practical effort toward the creation of a society in which the maximum role of government is the protection of life, liberty and property. The work of creating and sustaining such a society in New Hampshire is the job of residents, including project participants, not the Free State Project itself.

The FSP does not endorse any specific changes to government or strategies to achieve them. The FSP does not take positions on issues, candidates, legislation, places to move within New Hampshire, tactics or methods of action. The one stipulation the FSP does make is that people who promote violence, racial hatred, or bigotry are not welcome.

Reporting by the FSP on participant activity or NH events on the website, in the newsletter, or in any other place does not represent support or endorsement and may not portray the diversity of opinions and activities that exists among participants.
