Earlier this year, I heard a story about a family that moved from NH to
Vermont because of the Free State Project. They didn't want to live in
a Free State. 

So it does happen. In 2001, before I met Jason Sorens online, I was
seriously considering whether to move to New Zealand or Alaska, and
stocking up on equipment I'd need for homesteading in the wilderness.
Living under Clinton had become that intolerable.

I am entirely supportive of the idea that people should move to places
where they can live in the political/cultural/economic system they are
most amenable to. That is your natural right of expatriation, your
right to travel, at work.
