Love him, hate him or even just think his idea is interesting, Jason Sorens changed the way modern liberty lovers think about creating more liberty. Dozens of 'move here' projects where people are encouraged to vote with their feet have been created, inspired by his idea called the Free State Project. 1 of the complaints about the project he created is why hadn't he actually made the move to New Hampshire as part of the project? That complaint is finally dispelled as Jason Sorens made the move from New York to New Hampshire this month as part of the Free State Project. He put his money where his mouth already was, so to speak.

A lot of people took a liberty bus from Manchester. https://fbcdn-sphotos-e-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-ash4/1011429_10201085049621205_454390045_n.jpg
Then there is the group of people that came from Concord and stopped at a brewery along the way. It only took about 20 minutes to upload the moving truck. https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=10201085050181219&set=a.10201085043221045.1073741869.1017488029&type=3&theater
Then there was a several hour party featuring guns, state reps, streak, pizza, watermelon, GMO-free cookies, sausages, cheeseburgers, coleslaw, ballon hats and a whole lot of fun! https://sphotos-b-lga.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ash3/282965_10201086102967538_1069084952_n.jpg

Free State or Bust

On Saturday I moved with my family to Lebanon, New Hampshire. I am teaching for a year in the Government Department at Dartmouth College. Although my reasons for leaving my tenure-track job at Buffalo were several, I decided last year to apply almost exclusively to jobs in New England so that I could fulfill (early) my Free State Project commitment.
Fifty-nine people greeted us when we arrived at our new home, unloaded the truck in 20 minutes, and then held a party.
The things that really matter in life are family, friends, community, a sense of purpose. Financial security is secondary. In the United States today, we enjoy unparalleled wealth, access to technologies inconceivable until just a few decades ago. There is much that we can give up financially while still enjoying a decent life.
But my daughter also played in a river for the first time, throwing rocks and trying to catch tadpoles. We can walk to the
