The Free State Project (FSP) is a plan to have 20,000 individuals move to a single state in the United States, with the intent of influencing local politics and policy in an effort to reduce the size and scope of government at the local, state, and federal levels. In 2003, the group chose New Hampshire, known for its "Live Free or Die" motto and absence of a state income tax and state sales tax, as its target.
The original target date for pledges was the end of 2006. As of October 20, 2008, the project website shows that 8,741 people have pledged to move to New Hampshire, of which 600 have confirmed that they are in New Hampshire. (Not all movers may have confirmed their move.) Of the 600 in-state participants, 253 are previous New Hampshire residents and 348 have moved to New Hampshire.
