Sign the First 1000 pledge!

[d_goddard]

 

Big thanks to Friday, who worked like hell on F1K for months while the rest of us hoped "somebody" was working on it.
Majorly big kudos to Mark... you really picked up the ball and ran the last down!

[Caleb]

Congratulations!

     We are pleased to tell you that the pledge you signed up to has
     been a success.

     The pledge, created by Ian Bernard, reads: 'I will move to New Hampshire by 12/31/2008 where I will work to bring about a
     society in which government?s maximum role is protecting life,
     liberty, and property but only if 999 other liberty minded
     individuals will too.' The 999th person has signed the pledge,
     just moments ago.

     Now it is your turn to do what you pledged.  Ian Bernard will
     email you soon to give you any further information you need.
     Why not take some photos of you fulfilling your pledge - we
     love pics

Since they are already sending out success notices, it would be very difficult for pledgebank to delete us down below the success point now.

All right everyone, start packing your bags!

Someone should call Elizabeth a few times and tell her

[Michael Fisher]

What?  ???

How is this possible? 

[Michael Fisher]

A miracle?

Maybe people took pity on Mark calling them even though he was sick with the flu.

Don't celebrate too soon, they're not going to accept fake signatures.

...Aaaand we're over. I feel a bit like celebrating, but I caution that we will need to make sure, through a random sample perhaps, that the recent signatures are valid. The notion that certain callers were paid by the signup casts a - hopefully fleeting - pall over the moment. If people had to sign themselves up, then it's OK, but if people paid to generate signups were also entering those signups, we have a problem, and those signers will have to be verified soon.

Caleb was calling people all afternoon/evening.

[Michael Fisher]

GREAT JOB, Caleb, Mark, and everyone who worked on this!!!

Don't celebrate too soon, they're not going to accept fake signatures.

I've already received the announcement by e-mail: It's over. The petition succeeded.

Unless they want to send a second announcement that it did not in fact succeed, it has succeeded.

[Kat Kanning]

Three signatures were recently removed, as they were duplicates of older signatures that we were alerted about by the Free State Project. Sorry if that upset anyone so close to the goal, but hope you can understand, and it looks like the pledge might meet its target as I write this, congratulations.

That is cool.

How many people do you think moved during 2006?    I was thinking 100

So how many people will move in 2007 ..... 200 .... 300 or more?

I am sure than many of these people will move in the next couple of years.
