Upper middle-case scenario (71,289 relocator voters)

For our "cloudy blue sky" scenario, let us assume that we co-opt the following percentage of existing voters from their parties:

for a total of
61,481
of original voters on our side, leaving a balance of 132,769 against us. So, 132,770 (132,769 + 1) minus the 61,481 already for us means we would need to relocate 71,289 new voters. Thus, with very good (
i.e.,
31.6%) indigenous political support, our relocation is reduced by 122,961 voters, or 63%.

Taking an average of black vs. cloudy blue sky relocation numbers gives us 132,770, which is just a bit more dire than gray sky.

Best-case scenario (40,790 relocator voters)

For our "blue sky" scenario, let us assume that we co-opt the following percentage of existing voters from their parties:

for a total of
76,730
of original voters on our side, leaving a balance of 117,520 against us. So, 117,521 (117,520 + 1) minus the 76,730 already for us means we would need to relocate 40,790 new voters to round out the excellent (
i.e.,
39.5%) indigenous political support.

An overview

Every indigenous Wyoming voter we swing to our side reduces by
two
the number of new voters whom we must import.

It should seem obvious to any reader that it is easier to educate and convert one native voter than it is to achieve
two
relocators. Granted, we cannot expect to win elections solely through native conversion, however such will go far in reducing the burden of relocation.

Political education and conversion

Republicans

Since 57% of Wyomingites are registered Republicans, and since Republicans are closer to our political philosophy than are Democrats, we must focus most of our efforts on them.

"Other"

Next, we should focus on those registered "Other" as such are Libertarian, Natural Law, and Independent — all of whom exhibit the highest degree of individual thought. Although their total numbers are small (only 12%), we can expect a high conversion percentage. In fact, from those 23,310 voters we can almost get the same number of converts as from 60,218 Democrats.

Democrats

Lastly, the Democrats represent the worst conversion ratio, thus we should only try to persuade the swing voters and libertarian fringe of the DP. (The Mondale/Clinton/Gore crowd — 70% of DP total — however, are hopelessly swaddled in ignorance.)

Phase 1 County relocation/integration

Establishing legal residence in a state does not mean that one must reside there year-round. For example, George Bush, The Elder had merely a hotel room in Houston and successfully passed himself off as a Texas citizen for 1992 voting purposes.

Since Wyoming has no personal or corporate income tax, becoming a Wyoming citizen has huge tax advantages for those in one of the 41 income tax states.

Nearly 6 million tourists enjoy Wyoming each year, with over half of them traveling there in the summer (usually to visit Yellowstone National Park). It would be a simple matter for prospective relocators (especially "infopreneurs") to check out Wyoming, pick a town, choose a sponsor (for address purposes), and change driver's licenses — all while on summer vacation.

There are already hundreds of registered Libertarian voters in Wyoming, and our plan is to ask them to "sponsor" some fellow libertarians from out-of-state. Guest house, spare bedroom, RV spot, tent space, whatever — all they have to do is lend their address to a kindred soul for driver's license purposes (as a mere P.O. Box will not legally suffice). We suspect that such local sponsorship will meet up to 25% of our needs.

At the same time, we will establish in each of the target counties very large mobile home and RV parks for those who cannot find a local sponsor. These "County Colonies" will suffice legally as a bona fide address for new Wyomingites, and will be filled sequentially by county, from the lowest population up, so that we may gain political control of as many counties as possible. Also, they will be filled up only after independent relocators and local sponsorships have been exhausted, so as not to telegraph our political intentions until the last minute.

Phase 2 Winning statewide 2014 election

We must give Wyomingites (and also Americans) initial
hope
through a dramatic victory at the polls. A liberty-minded governor and congress must totally sweep the elections in 2014. As this study proves, such is eminently possible with resolute action by a sufficient number of libertarians and conservatives.

To vote in Wyoming, one must have been a resident there for only 30 days. To maximize the element of surprise, Tier 3a Relocators will establish residency and register to vote (automatically through their new drivers licenses) no earlier than 60 days prior to 4 November 2014.

Phase 3 First 40 days of general session

The governor must sustain that confidence with a boldly enacted platform locking out further federal tyranny (without causing the USG to overreact). A holding action, if you will.

During this period, Wyoming should brace herself for a great wave of tourism and relocation.

Phase 4 Creating our culture

Gun ownership and training (especially regarding military-pattern rifles) will be greatly encouraged by the administration. A libertarian society is unsustainable without a prevalent citizens' militia (which was notably lacking in the "Galt's Gulch" of Rand's
Atlas Shrugged
). What is missing from the classic libertarian model is a sort of martial ardor which inevitably comes from the universal daily bearing of arms by a free people. In Wyoming, many will seek to become
riflemen
, as only riflemen have historically remained free.

Conversely, a mere armed camp cannot endure as a society without a political philosophy which clearly respects individual rights of property and conscience. Tomorrow's Wyoming will offer something never before seen in human history — not even in 18th century USA: a defensible, libertarian, militia society backed by the entire wherewithal of the state government and its officers.

Other significant freedoms we will protect are alternative health practices and parental control of schooling (
e.g.,
homeschooling, private schools, etc.) on a free-market basis.

Phase 5 Challenging the USG

The Governor's power consolidated with overwhelming support of the Wyoming people, we shall begin to bring home from Washington, D.C. calculated slices of our lost freedom. At the same time, we will increase Wyoming's self-sufficiency, grow strong, and prove our libertarian case by example.

This will culminate within our Governor's second term in our
de facto
secession from the coercive Union of vassal states. At first, it will be vital
not
to declare ourselves in secession, just as Taiwan has not overtly claimed independence from Red China.

Phase 6 Defending Wyoming from the USG

Nevertheless, our actions will be fiercely resisted by the USG, which will likely eventually declare Wyoming in "
insurrection."
We will be told to "lay down our arms." Our reply will echo one made some 2,500 years ago — that of Spartan King Leonidas when Xerxes I of Persia demanded it at Thermopylae:

And that will probably begin the Second American Revolution. Washington, D.C. will have started it back in 1789 with their basely ulterior constitutional system, and the American West will end it with that image of true Liberty penned by Thomas Jefferson in his eternal Declaration of Independence.

ACTION TIMING

We recommend that Phase 1 be commenced in Wyoming at the earliest possibility, preferably no later than July 2002. We recommend that Phase 1a be targeted for the county elections of November 2006, Phase 2a for the county elections of November 2010, and Phase 3a for the general election of 4 November 2014.

Relocator hierarchy

Tier 1a Relocators
        (have moved to WY by August 2006)

These new Wyomingans will be the vanguard of our plan, which will be tested in 2-5 counties in the 2006 elections. They include those who will run for public office, plus key computing, administrative, and support personnel. Tier 1a Relocators will have actual Wyoming domiciles, jobs, and businesses for months or years before the 2006 elections, and will have fully integrated themselves with their localities.

Tier 1b Relocators
        (have moved to WY by summer 2008)

Similar to Tier 1a Relocators, but for the 2008 HD and SD elections.

Tier 2a Relocators
        (have moved to WY by summer 2010)

Similar to Tier 1a Relocators, but for the 3-6 county 2010 elections.

Tier 2b Relocators
        (have moved to WY by summer 2012)

Similar to Tier 1b Relocators, but for the 2012 HD and SD elections.

Tier 3a Relocators
        (become residents by 9/2014)

These are our final "surprise" voters, who establish residency 60-31 days prior to the 4 November 2014 election. Locally sponsored to the fullest extent possible before resorting to the County Colonies.

Tier 3b Relocators
        (have moved to WY by summer 2016)

Similar to Tier 1b Relocators, but for the 2016 HD and SD elections.

Tier 4 Relocators
        (become residents after 11/2016)

These are people who have foreknowledge of our plan and have committed to relocate after a successful state election.

Tier 5 Relocators
        (relocate before the 2018 election)

These are not "insiders" but new Wyomingites won over by our election and administration. We will need many thousands to "pack" the state prior to the subsequent general election of 2018 to stave off any defeat. Tier 5 relocators are key to
maintaining
political power after 2018 with second terms for our state government.

On this point, we must also point out that our plan in no small way depends upon a particular national economic and political climate — one which we did not (prior to 9/11 and the
USA PATRIOT
Act) believe would likely manifest as early as 2010. Trend analysis indicates that 2014 is the far more probable year of criteria convergence (or, as astrophysicists say, "singularity"), with several macro-issues (such as Social Security crisis, unemployment, inflation, soaring crime, racial tensions, rising energy costs, persistent terrorism, lack of public confidence in government, etc.) peaking at about that time.

Many events, however, could dramatically accelerate our time table: premature domestic economic collapse (which we forecast by 2006), an electoral crisis of similar magnitude to the Bush/Gore election of 2000, spasmodic secessionist pressures, serious and persistent civil disturbances, or a regional war (
e.g.,
the Middle East, Korea, or Taiwan).

The terrorist attack of 9/11 is in retrospect such an event, and the Committee is now considering condensing our plan in order to "strike while the iron is hot."

As Phase 2a is merely a repeat of 1a in other counties, it may be possible to combine the two Phases in 2006 if the relocation numbers allow. Such a powerful start of 5-11 counties (vs. just 2-5) will provide us with a flexibility needed to weather unforeseen events, especially how such relate to post-9/11 and its regulatory/economic/social fallout.
