Move to Paulville: the town where rightwingers will be free

start a munitions factory. They will need it.

Mees thinks this has been tried on a small scale already such as WACO and the FLDS. You cant get much smaller than Ruby Ridge. It didnt turn out so good. They dont like you having a free society. They dont even want you thinking that way. We could all join the Lakota Souix ( I think thats how you spell it ) they are claiming thier independance from the union. When I was a child and we played cowboys and indians, I always wanted to be the indian. :)

Paulville will become the new Freetown Christiania.
Greeeeeeaaat!!! <-sarcasm

sounds like a hippie commune without the hippies...they are all democrats, right?lol

I spent a good bit of time in the Free State Project back before the state vote, and in thinking about how everything turned out, I decided that a small project like Paulville would have been a better way to start. The problem with a large scale effort is that there is always going to be doubt as to whether it can succeed, and people are always going to be very reluctant to move until they see some proof that things are going to work out (they've seen too many such efforts fall apart in the past...usually after at least a few people lost a lot of money).

The advantage of a Paulville type effort is that it is far easier to put together than an effort to change a state government, and yet it can lay the foundation for ultimately doing so. How? Consider:

1. Putting a small town together is relatively simple. At the very least, all you need do is buy some land and put some trailers on it. It can be more elaborate and inviting than that, of course, but, hey, trailers are a beginning.

2. Once the town is put together, you have visible proof that your project is not just another harebrained scheme that is doomed to failure. You have a success story to crow about, and people will see that.

3. Those who see what you've accomplished with your small town, and who desire the same sort of proximity to other freedom-lovers, will either join you, thereby enlarging your town (and its impact in the region), or else they'll start other such towns. Either way, chances are very good that you'll see more freedom-lovers joining up. Again, the key is a small, successful venture. Moving is a tremendous commitment, especially if you have to move very far, so not many are going to do it until they see substantive results. This type of effort will give them that.

4. As more people come on board, your influence grows, giving you the ability to start changing government at all levels.

The statement, "If you build it, they will come," is absolutely true. Most people are not pioneers, but many will join an effort that someone else starts. The key is to establish a good community charter, thereby ensuring that everyone who signs on knows what to expect where community life is concerned; and, of course, to pick a good state. In the FSP we poured over heaps of data on the various states, and basically came to the conclusion that Alaska, New Hampshire, Montana and Wyoming are the freest. My personal favorites are Alaska and Montana.

Something to think about.

I was talking to a guy from Camden, new jersey, who is working on community outreach shelters and a network that would function autonomously of the government. They work with local farmers, have buses, and do services etc. They don't use money, and rely on voluntary co-operation to provide a positive altertnative to the rule of the corrupt competing governments in the area (the bloods and the city). He was not a Ron Paul supporter, but he shared the same principles of opposition to centralized government.
I think these types of ideas are very positive. Ultimately, it will be the responsibility of liberty minded individuals to pick up the pieces when the empire inevitably crumbles. If nothing else, these types of projects are great learning experiences. If it fails, mistakes can be analyzed, and new attempts can take into account what went wrong.

BTW, as far as the free state project goes, Vermont, being the 49th smallest state in the union population wise, would be strategically viable, as well as being extremely clean and unspoiled.

Sheesh, when is someone going to get it right? You don't have to be a right winger (whatever that means) to support Ron Paul. There are people who are just interested in freedom and non-intervention who support Paul.

See the Village? The director is M Night shamilan.

Anyways, It is an interesting movie that I dont want to ruin it for you, BUT it is alot like what you are talking about. ACTUALLY they do it right, and you can get some hints about it. ALTHOUGH, I cant and do not sugguest living without electricity....

NEVER tell me that I am certain to fail at ANYTHING. Go find a rock off the coast and invite your flock of pansies to Loser Island. I didn't become a delegate, which required that I stand shoulder to shoulder with McCain people (ewe), for NOTHING. Now into the kitchen and wash some spuds, we need the fighters up front!
