Philip Dru, Administrator interviews Jason Sorens, Revolutionary

Not long ago, Philip Dru, of Austin, interviewed Jason Sorens, of New Hampshire, about the Free State Project. For those of you who don't know, the FSP is a group of libertarians who have been frustrated by the lack of results that the normal activism line has brought. It seems that libertarians represents a significant number, but are so dispersed as to be ineffective in showing strength in the measures that government acts on (polls, elections). It seems that if we represent a population vocal enough to be commonly discussed and with enough exposure that people can have personal friends and neighbors who are libertarian then we stand a much greater chance at overcoming what I see as the "Ignorance Gap".

Dr. Sorens has also studied seperatist movements for his dissertation and found that the number of activists per capita required to create a political majority in a small state was something immenantly possible to achieve. So began the Free State Project. It's goal is to convince 20,000 "Liberty-loving" individuals to move to New Hampshire, so as to focus their efforts and achieve political change. Roughly 6,000 have signed up, and between you and me, I'm one of them. My thinking goes as follows: there's work, well just about everywhere. There's people just about everywhere. There's not a single state that can call itself truly free, and things get worse when you look abroad. Let's us libertarians get together and set an example for the world to follow! And where better to start than a state who's motto is "Live Free or Die" (Death is not the worst of evils), beyond that, New Hampshire is about as libertarian as any of the states get (low taxes, a culture of personal responsibility and entreprenuership). For that, I'll brave the cold. Give it a listen.

G. Edward Griffin was also recently interviewed by Philip Dru, and he presents an idea as important, if less directed in effect. That libertarians ought to work themselves into positions of authority, in social organizations and the media, then assert their influence on their "constituents" in selling individualist ideas and notions. In pursuit of this goal, he has founded Freedom Force International.
