This seems to be the crux of the NH debate. It's not that the people of NH aren't liberty-friendly, but that it will be "invaded" by citizens from neighboring states. A faulty assumption is that, since these citizens come from "statist" states, they themselves must be statist.
But let's take a look at the videotape.
We have heard from numerous sources "on the ground" that this is not a "statist" invasion. Bostonians and some VT'ers generally look down on NH. Talking to them, you'd think that moving to NH would be like moving to Grozny. It makes sense, of course. Statists
like the statist policies in their statist states (is that an anamonapea?

).
Now, lets go back to our sources "on the ground". They all say that your average immigrant from MA or VT is likely to be a tax-refugee that would be very supportive of our cause. In fact, a poster here (heyduke) from NH who seemed to be not to friendly to the FSP said that these were mainly liberty-friendly tax refugees.
Or notice that where liberty is making the most progress is in
southern NH!
Now, I think the recent immigration #'s for NH were about 7,000 a year. If only several dozen of these were freedom-friendly, it would have a neutral effect on our "effectiveness". I would think that at least several hundred - if not thousands - of these immigrants are FSP-friendly, which would actually improve our population ratios. It was said earlier that NH would be great for 40,000 activists. Well, with the flood of "refugees" from its neighbors (plus the home-grown native activists not counted here), I could see NH getting that 40,000 in eight years!
Could it be that the immigration into NH could have provide incredible benefit to NH if it is the free state?!I actually believe this immigration is a huge plus for NH.
