Talk:Free Town Project
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
[edit] Questionable Motives
According to a former Free State Project President Amanda Philips, the Free Town Project was actually ruse meant to discredit the Free State Project:
| “ | 1) They have nothing to do with the FSP.
2) They quit long ago. The man behind it wanted nothing more than to discredit the FSP. They don't live in NH & never had any intention of moving to NH, just wanted to stir up trouble in a small town. |

8. Links to blogs, except those written by a recognized authority.
- Emphasis mine. Given that the quote cited, though resident on a blog, is written by the person who was President of the FSP at the time that the Free Town Project was active, I maintain that the citation is valid, as she represents a recognized authority on the matter.
