    If the economic situation doesn't defeat the US 1st, I believe NH has the best opportunity to secede. Being in the 13 original colonies is a great bargaining chip since these states actually created the Constitution. States that were bought and paid for by the US gov or annexed would have a major uphill battle to split. And yes, NH is the only state that has fresh libertarians moving in all the time and is small enough (with large state representation) with many natives being energized for liberty all the time. A business partner, me and others have officially filed the 527 non-profit status for "10th Amendment NH" and we have many people who are signing on including statewide politicians. We plan to organize a rally sometime in the near future and are working on the Judge to speak at the event. We are organizing with Tea Party groups, the NHLA, LP/CP and the GOP in order to push this thing through (a law that forbids NH from following federal laws that supersede the state's 10 Amendment rights). At 1st, our mission isn't to secede, just to opt out of federal bullcrap. But depending on how things go, secession could be thrown out there down the line.

    Oh, and our State Constitution allows for rebellion: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_Ham..._of_Revolution

    Well back when they were colonies, I think New Hampshire was one of the more statist states. Rhode Island and Connecticut were the most libertarian. But that has obviously changed, lol.

    Actually more seriously I doubt SC would be the first although I wish it would be.

    Alaska is very likely to be the first in my opinion.

    People, AK and HI cannot secede, they were paid for. If the feds gave them up, I'd faint. It will be NH or VT if any. MT and WY are landlocked so not good choices from the get-go. Plz, look at the big picture.

    SC has some good things goin for it but I'm just not seein it happenin.

    The state of Superior.
    But not till the crash and society descends into chaos.
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Superio..._U.S._state%29
    Liberty is lost through complacency and a subservient mindset. When we accept or even welcome automobile checkpoints, random searches, mandatory identification cards, and paramilitary police in our streets, we have lost a vital part of our American heritage. America was born of protest, revolution, and mistrust of government. Subservient societies neither maintain nor deserve freedom for long.

    SC isn't happening without drastic political changes sadly. Its probably not commonly known because from the outside SC looks extremely conservative, but there are liberal strongholds in certain parts of the state, its just that the conservative strongholds have held onto their strength.

    And two districts here in SC may be turning blue which would actually mean SC might become a toss up in elections in the future, but its unlikely.

    Still my point is SC is too divided right now to unite in secession unless drastic political changes occur.

    So, come up here and help the cause brother. You'll have a way better chance to have your voice heard up in this neck of the woods, plus be along side many balls-to-the-wall liberty lovers - and those of us that scope out the scene and chip-in money to the cause. RP people have the best chance to exercise political clout here than any other state in this Revolution. I didn't want to move from Michigan but I did, it is so different here. Check it out for yourself, we are having the NH Liberty Forum in mid-March and The Judge will be here, plus either Rand or Peter, come and enjoy and meet us!

    The thought crossed my mind the other day when the FSP had a money bomb.

    I am going to certainly think about moving there later on after I graduate because it would be the best time to do it in my life probably if I ever do it. I mean I won't own a house or anything, or have a job or a family, so moving and starting off there wouldn't be that hard.


    Edit:

    I would sure hate the cold up there though being from SC lol!! But the good thing about that is that I would get to see real snow lol!! It only snows in SC once a decade, and thats only about 5-10 inches lol.

    When considering which state would be willing to first abandon the US, I wouldn't necessarily expect any state with a significant Libertarian population.

    Having a complex and informed opinon on the government requires first caring about the government in some manner. I think states that ignore national politics, and are generally uneducated and hate the government would be the first to get out.

    1. Hawaii. They haven't forgotten they lost their queen by the end of an American gun. They do not need American money, they have become the playground for Japan. They are also ethnocentric and appreciate their non-American heritage.

    2. Texas. If you think people are only wary of Texas' loyalty from recent events, the lone starstate, has some other aspects that might require some attention.

    3. California. Bordered by buffer states (desert, desert, rain forest) Californians don't really know crap about the rest of America. They'd learn more about America from TV, movies, etc. except 90% of all TV, movies, etc. are made in California, paid for by California, involving Californians, or simply expressing people in the other states talking like they're from California. If the rest of America fell off the map, California wouldn't realize it. Not that Californians could locate the rest of America on a map to begin with. Hell, I consider myself educated, I've travelled the world, but I still don't believe in New Hampshire. I think people say it's a state, but I swear I have no idea where or when this thing existed. Shires are in England. I don't know about this "American shire" business. Also 40% of the people in California are already citizens of Mexico. It won't take long for Baja and Alta California to finally reunite under the same flag.

    I live in NH. I moved with the FSP. (and encourage everyone to check out www.freestateproject.org)

    I think VT will be the first to go.


    (And I think it is 20 years or so off in the future if at all)

    12th largest economy in the world, 40th largest in land mass and 47th in population.

    i guess california would be viable by these metrics too, but it's interesting to consider

    The federal government left America a long time ago.

    New Hampshire will probably be second, though.

    Whenever I hear talk of secession on the news, it's almost always Texas. This is from just 2 months ago:
    YouTube - Texans call for ballot referendum for secession
    The other one I sometimes hear about is Vermont
