The doctor has made a diagnosis and written a prescription, and a treatment has been outlined. Ron Paul is looking forward from everything I have seen and read from him and supporters. Looking back is not really that constructive, you do need to be aware of the past so you do not repeat the mistakes of old but you also need to look forward because that is where we all are going we do not have the technology to correct the mistakes of the past we do have the intelligence to not repeat those mistakes.
You may be asking where is this all going well of course it is going forward we are all creating our new trail in this forest. The Ron Paul campaign is not gone it has just changed as the caterpillar creates it cocoon in preparation for the new stage. The Ron Paul campaign has emerged from the cocoon and the beautiful butterfly is now fanning its wings so that soon it will be able to fly. The new stage of the campaign is now called the Campaign for Liberty http://www.campaignforliberty.com . All of the Ron Paul supporters now need to make a choice.
The road will be very diverse and we will all be working independently. I personally will be working toward a previous goal which is moving to New Hampshire to add my talents with the other activists in New Hampshire as a part of the Free State Project http://www.FreeStateProject.org (which Dr. Ron Paul has endorsed you can view here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CI9ZjjEtH4g).

New Hampshire Liberty forum Part 1
The next few posts will be my experiences from the New Hampshire Liberty Forum.
On Thursday I was driving from Western NY to Nashua NH. I went through some small towns in southern NH and was amazed at the beauty of the towns. I went through Winchester and thought that this is the quintessential New England town in winter. I am not a fan of snow but the beauty of the area is just breathtaking and with a couple of feet of snow (not on the roads) it just made the drive that much more beautiful.
When I arrived at the hotel I checked in and ran in to a few people I met at previous trips to NH. The first night was a cocktail sponsored by Sakal/CAI and had a book signing by multiple authors including F. Paul Wilson and Gardner Goldsmith. I purchased a book by Gardner and asked him to sign it and was shocked to see he wrote almost a paragraph, not just his name and had fun talking to the people he was signing books for.
On Friday the first real day for the Liberty Forum I went to the opening ceremony that had the organizer for the Liberty Forum, the president of the Free State Project, and Sharron Harris from the Advocates for Self Government talked about how to make the idea of liberty "sticky" which means that the idea is not just brushed off after the conversation.
In the afternoon I watched Peter Christ from Law Enforcement Against Prohibition speak about opening up the conversation about the Drug policy in America not the War on drugs or even legalization but just discussing the insane policy of prohibition. Peter was a police chief from Tonawanda, NY and after he retired he and few others from law enforcement created LEAP. Peter told a personal story from his families past during prohibition some of his relatives were involved with transporting alcohol from Canada in to Buffalo, this hit home for me because my Great Grandfather during prohibition had fights on his farm in Colts Station, PA and alcohol was consumed during the fights so it is possible that my family and his might have done business.
For the keynote address Bernard von Nothaus was slated to speak but in his stead was a person from the time of the founding of this great country sent by the founders the person was Captain Roughseas (who looked very similar to Bernard) Capitan Roughseas was sent to tell us that the founders were impressed with the people at the Liberty Forum and ashamed at what this country has become especially the situation with the money in the US. The speech was a event that I will not soon forget but I may go in to it with more detail later.

The Free State Project
You may be asking what the hell is the Free State Project?
Well the Free State Project aka FSP is a idea currently but can be a reality with you. The idea is to get 20,000 people who want to be free to move to one state in the union and work for freedom. You may be asking why? Well with a mass migration of the 20,000 people moving to a state like California would do nothing but that amount of people moving to a state like New Hampshire the amount of people to bring about change would be much much less. The idea of people moving to one place to bring about changes has been done before take the mormons moving to Utah to congregate together that group of people moved to make a community that respected their religious values, even the pilgrims coming to America could even be considered a migration movement.
The FSP is open to anyone who wants to be free. Democrats, Republicans, unaffiliated, gay people, married people, single people, anyone as long as you want to be free. The only thing that the FSP asks is once you move take action to help bring around freedom. That is so vague almost anything could be considered working toward freedom you could talk with your co-workers and discuss politics, holding a sign in a protest, voting, writing letters to the editor, even running for office.
New Hampshire currently could be considered one of the most free places on the Earth. Right now in New Hampshire and you are over 18 you can choose not to wear a seat belt if you don't want to, you have the choice to not wear a helmet when driving a motorcycle. New Hampshire has passed a law saying the state will not participate in Real ID which is in essence national ID. But there is still a long way to go to make New Hampshire a a free state so if you like the idea of living free check out the free state project at www.freestateproject.org.
Oh and for the marijuana activist the state name means "New Hemp town".
