assume these folks have figured out how 20,000 new imigrants are going to manage to get jobs in a really sparcly populated state. I suppose that they could work as fish processors in alaska or something. But, im at somewhat of a loss how idaho's economy is going to accomodate 20,000 new people looking for some kind of employment.
I have checked into this a little bit.
The idea isn't to move everyone there all at once. First they need to get 5000 participants. After that number is reached, they will vote on which state they want to go to. Majority rules. The whole thing is planned to happen gradually.
Their motto is "Liberty in our lifetime". Think years or decades; not months.
That could take a little while, but at least they are trying to come up with a solution.
Even if it fails, there will be several thousand more freedom loving people in a state that is already oriented towards liberty.
That can only make that state stronger.
How can that be a bad thing?
The whole idea intrigues me. I am actually considering joining very much. Gotta finish school first though.
Like I said, even if it doesn't work, it still wouldn't be the worst thing.
As for surrendering the rest of the nation...
There is nothing that says the rest of the nation can't follow suit once they see it can work. Seeing as how that is the basic premise of the idea, moving to another state is not a surrender. It is part of the plan.
Is it surrender for a resident of Washington DC to move to rural West Virginia?
Should they just stay put instead of moving their family away from a place where they have no right to defend themselves?
