Free state is a good idea, but we aren't that big yet. I suggest a free country project. Perhaps one in every region or even state, we we can move to that particular county, elect our sheriff and go from there in the various towns within the county.

This has actually been discussed quite a few times. It has gotten down to a free town project. The issue is that the vast majority of the guidelines and bylaws come at the state level so towns are often shackled because of the state. In New Hampshire, even though it is much more town-focused than in the majority of the United States, especially in northern New Hampshire, the truly anti-liberty stuff is at the state level. It is certainly possible to counteract some of the anti-liberty stuff at the most local of levels, and Free Keene in NH is one such movement, but on the whole, it always comes down to the state.

I'm not against this at all and, in fact, it is a great idea, but the larger issue is that each state controls the towns and counties.
