Free Town Project revisited

[Lloyd Danforth]

Probably had something to do with the FSP leadership lying.....

I think Jason P. Sorens needs to go. 

No, that won't do it, either.

So back in Oct. 2003, over 2250 FSP members planned on moving to NH by Oct. 2006. How many moved.....about 10% of that?

Indeed, how many did move? Do you know? Or are you just guessing? Do you have former and current addresses on all signers as of 10/2003, vice now?

He's probably using the stats here: http://freestateproject.org/about/move_plans.php along with the stats released as part of the state vote results.

That is just the first step....well, I would let him continue to do Treasurer and Project Tracking stuff.

But sooner or later you guys need to drop the numbers/timeline stuff. Or you can continue to be failures at something that has nothing to do with the real goal....freedom

The First 1000 is the answer to the numbers/timeline issue.  A deadline, an achievable number, and the knowledge that 1,000 activists could do an amazing amount to increase liberty in New Hampshire.  That this program was not announced in October of 2005 when a whole lot more people were watching more than annoyed me.  What the FSP does in January 2007 depends entirely on how many people have signed up by the end of December 2006.  There is a rather lame maxim that if you're not part of the solution, you're part of the problem (usually said by people causing the problem).  I'm on the FSP Board now, so I can simultaneously be part of the solution and the problem!

Thanks to the latest effort by Sandy the First 1000 singup numbers are actually on track to hit over 1000 by the deadline.  Hopefully we can achieve a nice snowball effect after we get past 500 and we won't need to sweat it out.

I think it is the same issue.

Similar but different?

yes we need to sweat it out.
We will hit the numbers if we get 5 per day for the rest of the year.

The stats only take the last week into consideration.  Be wary of statistics.

[tracysaboe]

You need to do a least squares fit for a straight line graph and a parabolic graph from the begining to get a close estimate -- not from the last week.

It would be somewhere in between the two probably.

If everybody that signed up, just signed up 1 person before the years up, it would still work. On the other hand, we all know socialism like that doesn't really work so we shouldn't expect that.

Better than a FTP would be 3-5 porcs per town.  And maybe 20-30 in the bigger towns and 50-100 in the cities.  That would rock.
Of course many one FTP just to see what happens.  But I think more important is finding the town that 'speaks' to you.

our town yells out

I can hear it from here.

Some times when the wind is out of the North, I can hear it down here.
