A British Free Stater? Let the Light Shine!

without comments

This guy gives me hope for what the Free State Project is trying to accomplish.  I am fairly certain he would have heard about this via the internet but then again, who really knows?

That Brits / Europeans are looking to join the Free State Project also speaks major volumes against the European socialism that the Democrats are trying to realize for the United States.  There are many forms of oppression in this world and in my opinion big government is the worst of the lot.

I Want to Be a Porcupine!

with one comment

I really, really, really want to be part of the Free State Project.  But it seems up until now I can’t…

Why?

Because I am an expatriate.  I have lived outside of the boundaries of the United States for two decades.  I don’t miss participating in elections (I’ve always voted!) and I take part in the political debates.  I am a big “L” Libertarian and have been for many years so I see the Free State Project as something that I really would like to do.  One of my customers has even successfully made the move from the Akron, Ohio, area to New Hampshire in the past year.

I’m jealous!

Maybe there is some help for me after all though?  I am looking for a trusting porcupine who might do me the favor of “loaning” me his / her address.  What do I mean by that?  Let me briefly explain.

I was born and raised in southwestern Arkansas and with the exception of a brief move to Coushatta, Louisiana, I spent my early years in Prescott, Arkansas.  My family is there.  I graduated high school there.  But when I was 18 I moved away to join the Navy.  After the Navy I moved to Los Angeles for a short time before moving to South Korea.  Since I moved to South Korea I registered as a voter at a friend’s house in Walnut Creek, California, and after this friend sold his house I re-registered at another friend’s address in Venice, California, and have voted with Venice as my home of record ever since – even though I moved around from Seoul to live in Saigon, Hanoi and now Bangkok.  So if I could find a kind hearted home owner in the Free State I would gladly give up my California registration and register in New Hampshire and do what I can for libertarian causes, even if it is mainly via the ballot box and the occasional blog.  It doesn’t involve doing anything outside the boundaries of the federal election law.  The only difference to my status quo would be a New Hampshire home of record so instead of sending an absentee ballot to California I would be sending it to New Hampshire – greater supporting the cause of freedom.  I just know my absentee ballot is worth much more in the Free State than the left coast republic.

Are there any kindred spirits who would be interested in helping me to help the project? Let me know through my personal website or through Facebook (you can search “Gary Dale Cearley” or find me at the Free State Project).  I am waiting to hear!

McCain “Naderized”? Obama had better watch out for Barr as well!

without comments

Recently I had responded to a letter to the editor in the Tulsa Beacon which was also picked up and commented on by Third Party Watch (and I even put it on my own website just in case the others eventually take it down).

It is an interesting read if you think that John McCain is the only candidate with something to fear from Bob Barr’s campaign.

I would like to add also to this that Ralph Nader isn’t out of the woods with Bob Barr.  Many people voted for Ralph Nader as a “none of the above” vote.  They did this on name recognition alone.  But at the same time as Nader was a known commodity in the race he garnished much more news than did Michael Badnarik, the previous Libertarian candidate and he gained far more media attention than Michael Peroutka of the Constitution Party and David Cobb the Green Party candidate.  I believe as the Libertarians gain speed on this many of the people who still don’t like the Republicrats will come our way.

And, by the way, I am not from Tulsa!
