FSP News - February 2012 Over 1000 movers in New Hampshire Over 1000 adults have already moved to New Hampshire as part of the Free State Project. These movers have started businesses, been elected to office, formed advocacy organizations, created pro-liberty media, met their spouses and/or raised their families, and helped make New Hampshire the best state to live for pro-liberty enthusiasts and activists. _Read what Seacoastonline.com_ (http://www.seacoastonline.com/articles/20120202-NEWS-202020396) had to say about this wonderful milestone. The Free State Project Money Bomb! Supporters of the FSP are organizing another money bomb fundraiser for March 1st, 2012! The last FSP Money Bomb was held October 1st, 2009, and can only be described as a resounding success as it met and exceeded the goal of $20,000 raised in one day! This time the goal is the same (as you can see the FSP is VERY good at stretching a dollar) and we're hoping 1,000 people will donate at least $20 each to help us reach that goal. Help us raise $20,000 so we can reach our goal of 20,000 participants... SOONER rather than later! There is no minimum amount to donate and the FSP accepts checks, money orders, credit card, paypal and now BITCOINS! (heck, you can send em some gold/silver, too!) If you're on facebook rsvp to the _FSP Money Bomb event here_ (https://www.facebook.com/events/266620543382029/) .

With the FSP hitting 1000 participants now in NH... interest in the FSP is at an all time high. We have over 11,000 pledged to come to NH.... if each person reached out in these target rich environments would could reach the 20,000 participant count in no time.... All we need is YOU to reach out. Ron Paul and New Hampshire Ron Paul did very well in New Hampshire. For example, 4.3% of the entire population voted for Ron Paul in NH, the next highest states were SC where 1.7% and IA where 0.9% of the population voted for Ron Paul. Ron Paul received 17% more votes in NH than Obama. In fact, Ron Paul's very strong showing in the New Hampshire Primaries gave Ron Paul a 70% boost in the South Carolina Republican Primary polls and a 25% boost nationally. There is a great _Ron Paul intro page_ (http://freestateproject.org/intro/ron_paul) on the FSP website.

Website of the Month _http://www.nhliberty.org_ (http://www.nhliberty.org/) - The New Hampshire Liberty Alliance is a non-partisan coalition working to increase individual freedom in New Hampshire. It does so by monitoring bills in the legislative sessions and encouraging private charity, a civil society, and citizen involvement. The NHLA rates all of the NH bills, issues recommendations on bills, makes sure State Representatives are given the recommendations, rates legislators based on how they vote, holds a variety of meetings, encourages its members to get involved with issues and helps elect pro-liberty individuals, among other things. It's truly a one of a kind organization which no other non-profit, non-partisan organization in the US can hold a candle to.
