There's no need to go this far off the deep end, just yet. Fortunately, thousands of people who are opposed to over-intrusive government are getting together and actually doing something about it ... and getting results!

There are a lot of Libertarians in Arizona. This can help motivate them to come HOME, to where they're actually wanted!

Yes. It is unacceptable that "our" government now spies on us. Just one more reason so many of us has moved to New Hampshire.

"You are nothing! The State is Everything!"

Simple. Vote with your feet. See my .sig

FWIW, I was born in Wisconsin. I lived lots of places, including Indiana, Adelaide Australia, London England, and California. My job is such that I can work pretty much anywhere on Earth where there is an internet connection. New Hampshire is my chosen home.

1) Infrastructure
At my house in rural Hopkinton, NH, I reliably get 8MB down/4MB up. I telecommute to work most days; I live and die by my fast and reliable internet connection. I have had no particular issues. Note that I choose to live in the woods; there are in fact cities (not metropileses, but places with tall buildings and hundreds of thousands of people) in NH: Manchester, Nashua, etc

2) "recording cops"
Yes, FSPers have been pushing legislation to clarify that people have the right to record on-duty civil servants (especially police). Separately, a number of court cases have been won (by FSPer lawyers) that have adjudicated that on-duty police have no reasonable expectation of privacy. So, it's an issue that a number of FSPers are pushing on hard.

3) Downside
Yes, it gets cold in winter. And butt-hot in the summer. And the closest Really Big City is Boston, which is about an hour away from the NH state capitol in Concord. Oh, and there's no income or sales tax, so if you really want to pay those, NH will suck for you.

As the submitter of the story, I just want to make 3 points:

1. Seth Cohn is a prime sponsor of the bill, and a fairly hardcore slashdotter. J'raxis is, like myself, an emeritus Director of Research for the New Hampshire Liberty Alliance... and a fairly hardcore slashdotter.
Q: What happens when the geeks rule? A: New Hampshire, baby!

2. I learned about the Free State Project right here on slashdot, back in 2003. How cool is that?

3. This is for real. This is not just web slacktivism. This is people taking back control of the government. AND IT'S HAPPENING. If you have a vaguely libertarian bone in your body, you really do owe it to yourself to see what's going on in New Hampshire.
I'd strongly recommend coming to the NH Liberty Forum. People come every year, and after the experience, go back to their home states. Just long enough... to pack!

New Hampshire will be the first to secede.
Mark my words.

Quoth AC:
Government is bad, blah blah blah. Nevermind that governments are responsible for much of this fundamental research. Through public schools, public institutions and grants. Blah blah blah, shut up

For everyone who fundamentally disagrees with this person, don't bother debating him on the internet.
Join the rest of us in Real Life.
We're here, waiting to welcome you HOME

...or, you could fight against the tyranny. Thousands of are are... and we're winning

Take it back!

Getting myself elected seems contradictory to trying to "overthrow" it, don't you think? Long-term, I'd like it to whither on the vine and die. Nullification, followed by secession, OTOH, I'm pushing for rather strongly. Are either of those "overthrow"? 'cause we're making a lot of progress with the former, so how far off can the latter be...?
