This episode of the #citizenweb3 podcast features Eric Brakey from The FreeState Project

Eric Brakey, Executive Director of the Free State Project and former Maine State Senator, champions individual liberty, medical cannabis reform, and limited government. He believes New Hampshire is fertile ground for building a freer society based on the principle: “Don’t hurt people or take their stuff.”

The Free State Project is a movement to recruit 20,000 liberty-minded individuals to move to New Hampshire and create a stronghold for limited government and personal freedom. It aims to build a free society through peaceful activism, community-building, and principled resistance to state overreach.

We spoke to Eric Brakey about The Free State Project and:


  • Medical cannabis policy

  • The bureaucracy and special interests are relentless

  • The ground is fertile in New Hampshire for freedom

  • Building a free society

  • Don’t hurt people or take their stuff

  • You can look like a radical or you can advance radical things

  • Take every opportunity to question our understandings and assumptions

  • Liberty is one of the most beautiful ideas

  • The price of Liberty is eternal vigilance

  • State shrinking and I see Liberty expanding
