The Free State Project is a plan by which a critical mass of liberty-minded voters will relocate to an underpopulated state and electorally take control of the state government. From that point we will not only eradicate authoritarian state laws, but slowly wean ourselves off federal control, until we reach a satisfactory level of autonomy, whether independence or something less. Our goal is to get 20,000 freedom minded men and women to join the movement.

The freestateproject.com website is back on a dedicated server. We apologize for any inconvenience resulting from the switchover. If there are any remaining broken links or functionalities please let us know.

Our server was hit by a virus, resulting in the site being down for most of last week. We are now on a temporary Tripod server (hence the pop-up) until new arrangements can be made. Jason is looking into that right now. We apologize for any inconvenience.

We here at the Free State Project express our shock over the attack on Tuesday, and our sympathy for the victims and survivors. Please do whatever possible to alleviate their suffering. However, we fear this tragedy may be twisted to the political agenda of those in favor of greater government centralization. The FSP will always be dedicated to the opposite result.

We have a new logo for the Free State Project! It has taken its place in the upper left hand corner of this webpage. It will undergo slight alterations and improvements in the days to come. All 3 logos that made it to the runoff round will receive "semi-official" status as far as future use on t-shirts, flags, and so on. The next step is naming our new porcupine mascot! :-) Stop by the FSP forum to make your suggestions.

The automatic form for the Statement of Intent has been updated and improved. See the "Join the FSP!" section.

September 6th, 2001
The top three vote-getters in the FSP logo poll are now going head-to-head to produce a final winner. You can find the new poll by scrolling down and looking on the left. We have also added a new automatic form for those of you who wish to sign up for the FSP automatically. Look in the Join the FSP! section. Finally, we have added a section with answers to Frequently Asked Questions about the FSP.

September 3rd, 2001
We have added a poll for a new FSP logo. (Scroll down and look on the left.) Several FSP members have contributed their artistic skills to create the various designs. You can view the designs by clicking here.

September 1st, 2001
Final versions of the Statement of Intent and Bylaws are available! Click on "Join the FSP" to see the documents and to print and sign the Statement of Intent. We may be adding an automatic form submission soon.

August 29th, 2001
The website is undergoing the beginning of a series of cosmetic enhancements. In addition, the last round of polls on the Bylaws have completed. A vast majority of voters endorsed the Cumulative Count mechanism, and an absolute majority, 51%, voted that we decide which state to move to at 5,000 signers or before. It remains the case that the coordinated move by FSP participants will take place only after we have reached 20,000 signers. Based on these poll results, final versions of the Statement of Intent and Bylaws are being drawn up and prepared for printing out and signature. Watch this space.
On Tuesday August 28th Jason Sorens was interviewed by radio talk show host Brian Wilson, who has himself joined the Free State Project. Welcome aboard, Brian!
