On October 1, 2003, the Free State Project announced its intention to move twenty thousand advocates of limited government to New Hampshire. The goal, "liberty in our lifetime," is based on the belief that "the maximum role of civil government is the protection of life, liberty, and property." By recruiting members from across the country and concentrating them in a small, freedom-friendly state, the Free State Project hopes to succeed where it believes that national activism and the Libertarian Party have failed.

But will it work? Will people exercise the first principle of competitive federalism by voting with their feet? Can individualists work together for a common cause? Will members of the Free State Project be able to shape New Hampshire's political climate? Panelists at this event will discuss the real difficulties of competitive federalism in action.
