Hi, Porcupine

These days, it seems that everybody has an exceptionally, deeply passionate opinion on the news.

Even amongst Free Staters, I've noticed that some folks want to wear masks, while others don't. Some folks want to stay inside, while others don't. Some folks think people should do this, while others think people should do that.

But while different folks have come to different risk assessment conclusions, I'm grateful that most Free Staters are still holding firm to their pro-liberty convictions. At the end of the day, we can speak our minds, yet our shared belief in the philosophy of liberty brings us back together again.

It seems that most Free Staters are well aware of the divide and conquer strategy and they're not going to fall victim to it.

Ultimately, I'm thankful for our diversity of thought. I'm thankful for the deeply passionate fire that burns inside of us. And once again, I'm thankful to be one small part of our historic Free State community in New Hampshire!

In Liberty,

Vince Perfetto

Executive Director

Last chance: 3,000+ people have taken the Free State Project's COVID-19 coronavirus poll. Have you?

A major news publisher, The Atlantic, recently polled 3,000 average Americans.

Now, in an effort to compare our supporters to average Americans, we're offering this near-identical, 10-question poll of our own.

Thank you for taking this 2-minute poll and providing extremely valuable feedback. We will post the results of the poll in the near future.

Brittany & Matthew Left Indiana to Build a Free Family

Why did a young couple decide to leave Indiana and move to New Hampshire? Here's an excerpt from their story:

Somewhere in that two-hour car ride, I turned to Matthew and said “I want kids.” His response was expected: “I want kids, too.” So I clarified, “I don’t want to have kids in Indiana.”

As it turned out, after they got to New Hampshire, Brittany, Matthew, and their family have enjoyed more than just an increase in their liberties.

Now, the husband and wife own a flourishing property management company called Ledgeview Commercial.
