I am not the leader type but I think I see an idea with the free state project for liberals if someone can organize it. We can pick a small state (maybe Maine) and duplicate this with liberal minded people. We can show the rest of country what good governance is. So if anyone wants to start a movement please do, i would probably move to anywhere warmer than NNebraska :)

1. Wouldn't Vermont be closer?

Considering it's the home state of Howard Dean and Bernie Sanders and considering they're on the verge of implementing
a health insurance system similar to single payer?

2. One for Liberals for be good.

Not the Libertarians as featured in the video. But actual Liberals - that would rock.

3. these are libertarians -- and i feel sorry for new hampshire if it

becomes a 'free state'.

4. An influx of ideologues improves things, right?

Especially when the ideology is "screw everyone but me." Poor New Hampshire-ites.

As for a liberal version, I think the energy is better spent working to improve all the states.

5. That would be the ultimate goal

but for you to really convince conservatives and independents, you need to show them a National example of how such a policy would benefit a state. I should have picked Vermont but always forget it is a state :)

Anyway, I still want to see it tried out and maybe we can compare a liberal, conservative and libertarian state.
