Free State Project Surges Past 8,000 Participants
Rate of new memberships increasing

* For Immediate Release *

December 4, 2007

Concord, NH – Over 8,000 activists have signed a commitment to move to
New Hampshire to promote smaller, less intrusive government. Weekly
sign-up numbers show that momentum for the movement is building, with
a 25% increase in the sign-up rate since August. This is on top of the
earlier success of more than 1000 members signing up to move before
December 2008.

"Project participants are from all over the United States: California,
Florida, Texas, everywhere", said Irena Goddard, President of the Free
State Project. "Small government and personal responsibility are what
people are after. They are sick of the 'nanny state' government that
dictates morality and then taxes away significant portions of their
livelihoods. These people are coming to New Hampshire to work hard,
and to demonstrate to the rest of the world what a free state could
really look like."

When asked to explain the surge of interest in the Project, Goddard
doesn't need to guess. "The feedback we're hearing is loud and clear:
it's the 2008 Presidential election. This is a hotly contested race,
and many people feel with the issues at play – the war, health care,
immigration - this election is the most important in living memory."
