Starting a Liberty District -- in Texas

[libertydistricts]

There's a movement to get a few Constitutionalists to move to Ellis County, Texas to start a so-called "Liberty District."

There's some information here:

http://groups.yahoo.com/group/LibertyDistricts_USA/

Ellis County is located directly south of Dallas

*Population: 140,000
*15 towns, seven of which are with less than 5,000 people
*11 school districts
*An independent newspaper already exists, with plans to start five more
*Close enough to the Dallas Metroplex but far enough away that Ron Paul Republicans hold a 74% majority in the county

Coming Soon: www.libertydistricts.com

Oh look, it's the flake Joey.

[Russell Kanning]

is he running for president of his new country?

Looks like you got out of Navarro county just in time, Kat. There goes the neighborhood!

If that were to work (which it won't), the smart place to go would be the big bend area starting east of El Paso and ending west of Odessa. Then petition for statehood. That area has almost gotten enough congressional support to break away from Texas before. Then, of course, secession. Bu the only way to get there "peacefully" is to have at least 2 provisional governments on the way. You really ready for that?

Yes, it does. See for yourself:

Many of us left those places.
Some places are better, some are worse, but the hard truth is: if everybody stays wherever they are, they're going to keep being oppressed. If you want to see liberty in your lifetime, you're going to need to concentrate activist efforts in one place. Only that way is our message going to truly permeate the culture and truly influence what those in control are able to do.

Why not come hang out with us for a few days this summer, and see what the buzz is about for yourself?

I never been to Texas but it seems like a tough state to work with, to many people in Texas seem to legislate morality.

See http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TYXUUsDGxkU for a hilarious example of what I am talking about.

Not that I am opposed to such an idea or I think that it is impossible, I just think you would have your work cut out for you.

[Kat Kanning]

While that may be true, many there do have an independent air that feels something like what I'd imagine the old west to be.  I've liked Texans.  Neighbors were real mind-your-own-business kind of people, you know, live-and-let-live.  But they'd be there to help you if you were in trouble.

Politicians are scum where ever you find them (of course with exceptions like Ron Paul).

[AlexLibman]

There's very little you can do on county or municipal level, and Texas is full of neo-cons...

I love the idea of there being a southern FSP, but one of the islands in the Caribbean might be a better shot.

I like Texas as well, and have looked into this project.  Joey seems like a stand up guy.  Some of the key player in this project, though, hope to hope to incorporate an actual town and run it as a sort of religious sanctuary.  Im all for religious freedom, but when a religious group seeks to form a municipal government, thats more 'American Fundamentalist Christian Taliban' than 'Liberty District'.

Hear, hear.
Religious freedom mostly means constraining the government so it has no business interfering in religion!

Notanumber posts from the same IP address as Joey, so I assume is Joey.

Your software might be busted.  So far as I know, Joey is in DFW area.  I am in a cafe on the west coast.

I wouldn't take an issue with a municipality being a religious government. Municipalities are small enough and easy enough to stay away from if you disagree with them, unlike States that attempt to monopolize the whole planet, and thus are essentially voluntary. I imagine in a free society, such voluntary religious cities would exist.
