Becoming Free Starting With One Small Town

Current Events

Instead of focusing solely on loftier goals and national politics, the movement would be able to spread much faster beginning with small towns or villages.

By selecting a town/village and flooding into it (it wouldn't take that many people), then registering as voters and electing pro-freedom, limited government members of the city council, the mayor, the sheriff, etc. and setting up a structure to protect individual freedom and self-sustenance, as well as trading in gold/silver, this town could then start re-building wealth and jobs on a solid foundation.

This process could be repeated over and over again throughout the US, and mostly under the radar, while creating a strong backbone and network of an alternative system to the status quo. Then, that strength could be parlayed into winning back a state. All it would take would be ONE state in the union to stop the agenda. By building a single free-state, with a decentralized backbone of small-towns, it would be unstoppable.

The Feds would never be able to stop this kind of freedom because the sheriff could simply deputize all the citizens in the town to defend themselves, as members of law enforcement (cops can't get away with beating you down or killing you when you're a cop too), and arrest any agents acting under illegal or unlawful / color of law orders. Plus, once you have enough of these little towns, it would be impossible to enforce because they would literally have to station troops in every little village and small town in order to police it and they would not have enough manpower or money to pay for it with worthless fiat currency.

With this kind of approach, it wouldn't matter if our guys lost the national elections or whatever illegal laws Congress passes, people would still be able to maintain their freedom and rights even after a total monetary / government collapse.

This would be easy here in the West,

as many small farming communities have dwindled to nothing, empty buildings that used to be banks and grocery stores and schools----driving through Eastern Washington's wheat country I see many small towns like this. Sad, empty homes and businesses.

That's the best plan going

However, I have come to realize that a better plan is one family at a time. Your own.
People are hard to herd. Patriots even harder. The Free State Project never took off, Freedom Town never took off, Freedom County never took off. Slaves go to where jobs are. Otherwise they don't get all the stuff. Anyway, pick a town and give it a go. You know it's easy to start a town also, it's just a municipal corporation. I'd do one of these ideas if I don't have to join any clubs or cook anyones dinner.
