While I wish the number was up to the 20k already, I wouldn't say I'm disappointed. Livid might be a better word. Intensely irate about it would be another choice.
But, having a pretty good idea of why the 20k wasn't reached, and possibly won't be, I let the anger go and focus on doing what I can now that my family is here. It doesn't take twenty thousand people to revive the liberty and freedom spirit this nation got founded upon. New movers continue to filter in, many of them not even registered FSP members (for very logical reasons) so the FSP numbers grow in much larger numbers than the counter on the page reflects.
There was already a very liberty minded native sector here in NH that easily and far surpasses the 20,000.
A lot of the time, effort and energy of first movers is spent trying to get them back into the political bodies they long ago (or recently) 'gave up' on when their own local governments got infiltrated by previous 'movers' to NH bent on turning it into Massachusetts. One town or city at a time. So, using that same format, just getting each town or city back to its orginal standing is a good start, and the natives ARE getting back in (sometimes without even knowing an FSPer or being prompted by anything but the realization that if they do nothing it will just get worse and worse.)
Votes are very, very close in town/city government - that's the data to pay most attention to, because it can literally come down to one or two votes now - for budgets or other items.
I seriously believe and think it's possible that by simply reawakening the 'burnt out' liberty/freedom sector, we'll have double, if not triple, if not quadruple the amount of liberty activists first speculated as neccesary to restoring liberty here in NH.
