Grassroots beginning to the Free State Party

[memenode]

Hmm... very subtle....

[Raineyrocks]

I'm so confused but I'll give this a shot and then can somebody tell me if I'm right, please?


I take this thread like this:

This is for people that want to secede but from where, NH or the US?   Then all the people will do this and form some kind of organization, but for what purpose?   Will everyone live in one county of NH?    I don't understand a lot of the liberation, (the only word that comes to my mind), talk on this thread, but do I have the main idea correct?   If so what about my questions, what would the answers be?

P.S. If I have this all wrong can someone explain it to me really simple please?

I think you can sum it up:  Russell messing with people's heads.

I like Lloyd's spending freeze or 10% reduction per year pledge - you pledge to not sign or vote for anything that proposes or authorizes spending any more money than last year.

This was voted in the affirmative by the people of Grafton last year.  It is not "legally binding" though for some reason or another.   Although any bureaucrat who doesn't represent his constituents is a rarity it uh can happen y'know! 

[Russell Kanning]

so a typical thing a Free State Party member would do is seek to make it legally binding.

The FSP website now has 2 planks, and one of them is:

We support any effort to reduce the size and scope of government, even to the point of totally abolishing the idea.

(my bold)

I think that "any effort" to reduce the size of government would include violent rebellion, and I don't think that should be a plank. Maybe change it to:

We support any voluntary effort to reduce the size and scope of government, even to the point of totally abolishing the idea.

or

We support any non-aggressive effort to reduce the size and scope of government, even to the point of totally abolishing the idea.

My landlord is a poly-sci professor that created his own political party:

The P.A.R.T.I.E. Party!

Peoples Alliance to Reform, Transform and Improve Everything

There's some cool back story if anyone's interested.

[Russell Kanning]

There's a really, really, good Plank in the pile of lumber outside the farmhouse.

Perhaps:

The Shire Party

The Freedom Party

The Voluntary Party

The Granite State Party (Seth Cohn was considering this at one point)

The Radical Party

The Unparty

I was going to say Peaceful Anarchist Revolution Through Individualist Economics, but I like that one too.
