"Right now I'd be willing to take people like Fitz just because we are hurting..."
Well, if that's not a warm welcome, I don't know what it is!
No, I'm just kidding. I understand the point. The trouble for me is an automatic negative response to doing ANYTHING because others are doing it. The idea of moving to a freer, more Constitutional environment is a wonderful one, but the premise of FSP is essentially having to wait to see what others do; something completely against my nature, especially when it's regarding something as significant as relocating.
"Fitz, I'd love for you to come to NH and bring a Constitutionalist vote with you. I'd rather that you agree to a little more than just placing a vote, but at the end of the day every pro-FSP vote is a good vote. If you plan to move, get in touch with me and I'll help you out with some real estate/mortgage/mover contacts." RDeacon
That's a very nice offer. I may just take you up on it. Thank you.
That is the sort of response that was at the heart of my post. Here are two more questions:
1. Are there any plans for organization in NH for FSPers, activism, business networks, militia, etc?
(I have a small business that is only now starting to get off of the ground. If I move, I lose all of my income. It wouldn't be so bad if I had capital or a home, but no. What I do have is a love of liberty, strong ethics, and an entrepreneurial spirit (or maybe just a hatred of indentured servitude of being an employee) Moving would be a hell of a lot easier if there were a network, or at least a forum or something of FSPers already in NH where I could advertise, look for folks to outsource to, support other members, etc. Not to mention just go shooting with someone else and learn the lay of the land, so to speak. It seems to me that the majority of all of our ancestors came to this nation because they knew people already here. I don't have siblings or cousins in NH, but would I have fellow FSPers?)
2. Would a viable compromise be moving first, or solidifying all of the logistical plans and then signing?
(My small business is only 4 years old and I'm still struggling. This is a critical phase of my life and if I'm going to do it, I need to do it soon. I wouldn't sign light-heartedly but the longer I grow my business, the more anchored I become here. If I'm going to start all over again, I had better do it soon, and I'm not about to let all of my plans rest in the hands of some abstract 15,000 people! Is there a happy medium?)
