Hello,
My name is Travis Simms. I am from West Virginia. I have been a signed on member and follower of the Free State Project for a few years now. I originally planned to move to New Hampshire a little over a year ago when I graduated from college. Unfortunately my financial situation didn't allow me to make the move then. And I am still not anywhere near where I predicted myself to be financially when I graduated from college. It's damn near impossible to get ahead here in the poverty stricken socialist state of West Virginia. I had a plan of running for WV House of Delegates next year but am now strongly reconsidering it. If I am to do that, I'll be tying up what little money I have in a losing battle just to "get my name out there" and establish myself as something different in WV politics and activism. It is a very statist culture down here and very hard to gain success without establishing yourself within the statist culture of this state. So Im hoping to put back what extra resources I have and try my hardest to make the move to the Free State by next spring. Hopefully before then I can get to know some of you all and gain some good advice and information before making my move. Thank you very much.
Sounds like a good plan. Welcome to the forum!
