The Quaker's experience is similar to what has happened to Mormons, Jews and Christians when they were poor minorities. 
The same things will happen for Free Staters.

Did Mormons Jews and early Christians have chocolate factories?

as a Quaker and a Free Stater I hope I don't get it double.

More to the point, is there a Free State chocolate factory?

[Ogre]

If there isn't, there should be.

In case anyone missed it, we went into overtime on FTL and talked about this article. So if you care to hear it, check out about the last hour (less maybe) of Thursday's archive.

Yes, the potential for parallel is stunning. Which gives me an idea of how we might make that faster:

Contact all the employers in New Hampshire and find out which ones are A) Favourable to hiring Free Staters, B) Avers to hiring Free Staters, and C) Indifferent. Let the As and Cs know to contact our network to post their job openings on our sites. Of course the As might post on the FSP sites first, whilst the Cs will more likely do it along with their other advertisement.

Even better idea: Get the contact info for all the employers (including State Employers ;-) ) and send them each, starting with the companies/agencies with the most employees, a questionnaire accompanied by a good informational piece on what we're all about, dispelling myths, FAQs, and so on. It might include pointing out how their businesses have been hampered by government taxes, licences, zoning, you name it.

Another entertaining thought: Perhaps there's a way to identify individuals responsible (or partially responsible) for hiring, whose enthusiasm for Free Staters might exceed that of their supervisor's (such as certain government agencies and institutions, for example). There might be a way for them to favour Free Staters 'quietly'.

Can we get a team around this endeavour?

Jerry and the Chocolate Factory?

Sheesh.  Make some chocolate ganache for a few friends and I'm labeled a "factory".  I expect the kitchen police to be busting down the door any minute.

Really, I was just concerned about their health.  It's the only reason I serve chocolate.  and here's why:

February 12, 2010 — Just in time for Valentine's Day, a new systematic
review from Canadian researchers suggests higher chocolate consumption
may be associated with a lower risk for incident stroke and
stroke-related mortality.

Results of 2 prospective cohort studies showed, respectively, a 22%
reduction in stroke risk for those who had 1 serving of chocolate per
week and a 46% reduction in stroke mortality from weekly consumption
of flavonoids in 50 g of chocolate vs no consumption. A third study
showed no association between chocolate intake and stroke or death.

However, the number of studies looking at this relationship was small,
senior author Gustavo Saposnik, MD, from St. Michael's Hospital and
the University of Toronto, Canada, told Medscape Neurology. "We need
more prospective studies that specifically identify the type of
chocolate and the amount, including the amount of flavonoids included
in the composition of the chocolate, to make more valid conclusions,"
he said.

The results were released February 11 in advance of their planned
presentation at the upcoming American Academy of Neurology 62nd Annual
Meeting in April.
