THIS IS WHERE PEOPLE ARE MOVING TO, AND WHY...
I moved from Danville CA to Franklin TN -- it’s the best thing I ever did. Land of the free!

Yes, we have moved out of CA (San Diego County). We moved to Georgia to be near my husband’s family. We are now living a country style of life, lots of wildlife surround us too. The big thing I regret is being so far from my adult daughters and my grandkids, and all my life long friends. I was a native Californian!
Oh, and nothing compares to the SoCal weather!!!

YES we moved from Southern California to Texas 1 year ago & LOVE IT! We lived in Lake Forest, CA for over 20 years & decided we needed to get out. Our youngest son had terrible reaction to his last DTAP vaccine several years ago so we needed to move by this year due to the 7th grade stopping point for vaccine checkpoint.
We tell Texans we're "California Refugees" & we're very happy to have moved to AMERICA!

I follow all your blogs & videos and am very excited at your zest for continuing to fight. Thank you as well for your help with religious exemptions, A year ago, I followed your advice, listened to your free videos, and purchased your husband's letter & it helped me get my religious exemption approved as an RN at Kaiser Permanente as well as my employer in Texas, Baylor Scott & White (affiliated with Baylor University) THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU! Keep on keeping on!

My girlfriend moved from Honolulu Hawaii to Delray Beach Florida because Governor Ige had basically turned Hawaii into a tyrannical lockdown state with severe restrictions on the unvaccinated who were treated as if they threaten public health. She could only take so much, then she left (had a good job too) But Ige killed the tourist industry, all in the name of keeping Hawaii safe. MORE CRIMES ARE COMMITTED IN THE NAME OF SAFETY OR SAVING THE CHILDREN THAN ANY OTHER CRIME ON THE PLANET!

I myself moved to north of Dallas TX. What made me excited to move, was I visited a couple states during covid. I enjoyed the freedom and no masks. I work as a ER RN at KP. AS we know has been one of the worst places. I did get my religious exemption approved with Peggy's help. However, i was tired of the mandates and loss of freedom. 1 wk after leaving the facility mandated N95s again to all staff in ER. Now I barely ever wear a mask and that is only at work.
I have not regretted my move to Texas. Majority of people are so much more friendly and helpful!! ~ Peggy's Freedom fighter !

I moved from Williamsburg, Virginia to Central Florida April 2021. At the time we still had a democrat governor who was making life miserable. I refused to wear a mask because it was useless and also I am on oxygen 24/7 so I can’t breathe anyway. I was getting thrown out of small shops and even an open air farmers market! Our governor was shutting down Jamestowne Island to vehicle traffic. I used to go there in my car to just enjoy the quiet. But it was closed to foot traffic and I couldn’t walk that far. Lots of businesses were closing for good because it was a small tourist town and the governor was ruining it with shutdowns while he was not following his own rules.
~ ~ ~
We moved to Virginia because we have land here and there is water here. My parents live here so I wanted to be closer to them before they vaccinate themselves to death. Also San Diego became so expensive over the last few years. I wouldn't send my kids to school anyway but vaccines aren't mandatory here so that makes me feel better. Also the anti maskers outweigh the maskers here. I haven't stayed here for winter yet. I do miss San Diego, my network and the resistance movement there. Theres less to resist here. So far I am happy with our decision although I do miss things.

My boyfriend (75 yo at the time, and Vietnam Vet) was assaulted in OR by Anitfa July 4 2020 while he was waving an American flag.
Upon his daughter's urging we moved to Arizona Thanksgiving 2020.
Love, love, love it! Not afraid to wear a hat, or sticker. Our HOA actually has a Conservative Republican Club. As a bonus, we love the climate. The cost of living is reasonable. It's a wonderful state. Have not regretted it for one minute.

We bought a house in TN and will move there once we get other Adult Children families to move with us. One moved last month. 2 more to go. Moving because of terrible CA school system and terrible policies that are running CA. Going to TN for Christian and common sense polices. Can't wait to move!

Moved to Turtletown, TN. It’s amazing. People get it here, no debate on the hogwash, nearly everyone we encounter knows it’s crazy and feel we were wise to get out. Way more freedom and normalcy.

We moved out of California (where I had lived since I was about 3 years old in 1972) to Oak Ridge, Tennessee at the end of June of this year. When the school districts started passing vax mandates, my husband knew we had to get out to protect our youngest son who is still in school. We wanted a red state -- and no hurricanes. I’m still not adjusted to being free. In California, the default mindset was “am I allowed to do this? Will I get in trouble?” Here, it is the reverse. People are friendly, especially when I assure them that I am not here to turn their state blue. We have no state income tax. Food is taxed, but this month the state has declared a sales tax holiday, so I’m stocking up. We run the AC around the clock, filled up a pool and have weekly trash. The combined bill for the first month was under $250! Gas has come down to $3.75/gallon. (When we first were looking in January of 2022 it was $2.99)
The only area where Southern California can be perceived as being “better” is the weather. Sure, its humid right now and there are summer thunderstorms. But I know when the fall comes, the leaves are going to turn gorgeous colors and we will have 4 seasons! It’s a subjective thing. When locals ask me what I think of the humidity, which is at its peak right now, I tell them “It is well worth the price of admission.” So, I would say I definitely celebrate our decision.
I grew up in California and a part of me was sad to leave. It used to be wonderful. But one-party rule has destroyed the state, and with the jungle primary system and the corruption, I did not see any path to it being better. We could mobilize to call and write our legislators about the current danger (like the bills to allow teenagers access to abortions, vaxxes, etc. without parental consent), but the leftists won’t ever stop. It got to be exhausting. The rest of my family, save one adult son, had already fled the State. I’m hoping that he follows suit now that he is paying his own way.
~ ~ ~
I know God can do anything, so there is hope. But I am glad to be where I am now and will pray for California and our nation if, God forbid, Gavin Newsom is allowed the opportunity to take what he has done in California nationwide.

Yes, I moved from Irvine, CA in June to Franklin, TN. It's beautiful, green, filled with freedom loving Americans. You would never know CV exists here.
~ ~ ~
Peggy, We moved our business and family from MN to TN. So far LOVING IT! Between state tax reduction,values/faith, opinion about government, the people here in the south are amazing. I wish you would move here - Brentwood Tennessee! You could meet a lot of your NEW best friends here and we have NO state tax. I appreciate ALL you do!!!
~ ~ ~
We moved from Seattle to NW Arkansas last November and people here are so different and it’s so much better! We celebrate this decision every single day!
~ ~ ~
My boyfriend's retirement will be hit 13% if he stays in CA, second amendment rights. My reason are because my children are leaving for more medical freedom, taxes, the fact they nor their children can never buy a house.
Sad truth is no matter where you go you still have to fight. Almost all states have some part of Agenda 21 &2030 in it . So you have stay involved.

Hi Peggy
Thank you for all you do. Really appreciated. We moved from CA, San Juan Capistrano, with a beautiful ocean view. 3rd generation CA native 62 years old.
We moved to Prescott AZ
Lots of political refugees like me, great place to retire, four seasons.
We love it here, much better than CA, afraid the lawless Maricopa county will hurt AZ elections in general.
We celebrate the move every day. Could not be happier, we feel safe here. Folks walk around with guns all the time, I love it.

I moved. I moved because after two years of COVID oppression, the Entertainment Industry chose to embrace segregation and ban unvaxxed me and thousands of others from sets.... And then there was the crime. When a violent mental patient was released by Police within the hour of his "arrest" and put right back on our street, our lawn, to reside for the next two weeks... Combined with higher cost of everything in Los Angeles, and the realization of the shortages being thrust upon the population, I was forced to leave.
I moved to Florida aka the Free State. We chose Florida as we came from Florida and felt in these times it was important to be closer to family. Also, my other half got an opportunity which helped with the decision to pull the plug on Cali. It's not all rosy. The overall attitude as I navigate daily isn't quite as oppressive. Some wear their masks. Most don't. No one harasses. Gas is cheaper. food not so much. merchandise not so much. Rents and mortgages are out of control because of the influx of people. Salaries are not reflecting the increased Cost of living.
Having said that, I applied to a job at a University doing something I had done in California as a survival Job between Entertainment Industry gigs. Guess what? They have a Vaccine Mandate. So I wrote a letter asking for an exemption as I would not be getting a vaxx. I resent at this juncture asking for a religious exemption. So my letter stated strongly held beliefs but I never defined anything about my faith for them. They said yes but I have to abide by COVID 19 Protocols for Non-Vaccinated Employees. These protocols are completely discriminatory and include mask wearing, distancing, not eating around others, no participating in meals provided at their mandatory meetings.... I have written a scathing response saying I can't and won't sign their protocols. My job doesn't accommodate them and they are wrongfully imposing segregation on healthy people. I'm waiting on their response to know if I can work.
So It's not all perfect here in Florida. Still a lot of COVID BS to navigate. it's disheartening to make this move, lose one's "life" only to be hit in the face again with this tyranny.
Regret or celebrate? Not celebrating right now. Regret? I'm angry at having to give up my pursuits. And I'm angry at the fiscal ramifications caused by COVID policies. I'm angry at the total embrace of disinformation that still persists. I'll revisit when things get more stable and see then if I regret. Right now, I'm kinda heartbroken.

I never wanted to leave my home state of CA. But the regulations, commands and fear mongering around Covid, the ever swelling taxes, the state policies that don’t work for the people, the endless growth of homeless that don’t want to work, the release of criminals into society and lack of accountability for their actions, and the overwhelming cost of living, the sheer arrogance of Newsom and his minions etc, brought us to the fact that we had to go.
We moved from California to Florida in April. We celebrated! We are still celebrating. Moreover, we are breathing a different kind of relief. And that’s huge.
And I don’t regret the move at all.

Yes, we moved from northern California to upstate South Carolina last winter...and I wish we would have moved sooner!
Primarily, we moved for medical freedom but have now realized there is so much more in this nation we were missing out on. I was a public school teacher, a job that I loved, for 15 years but gave up my career, our home, and the town I was born and raised in so that my children could live a free life. I am now homeschooling them and have found a tremendous community of other homeschool families and a community that supports this education. My children no longer experience anxiety, we don't have to worry about vaccine mandates, and my kids have expressed they never want to return to the traditional classroom, and neither do I, as a parent or a teacher.
South Carolina is....the South! And they have a ton of American pride. Veterans are revered here, they respect law enforcement, and value the American family. The weather is humid and the bugs are BIG but the daily rain at the end of the evening keeps my garden growing without an irrigation system. It is green and lush here and feels like LIFE, whereas between fires and droughts, northern California seemed to be an impending death (of the area).
It has been an adjustment moving, it does feel like another country here. But we are happy here. Life is at a slower pace and I didn't realize how healing that could be. I thought we were always supposed to be going and going, even through the anxiety of a fast-paced life. Although we miss our loved ones and wish they were here with us, I am confident we will find our way here-or any place we decide to settle. But for now, the South suits us just fine!
We will never return to California. Ever. I now realize I can be anywhere with my family, as long as we are healthy and together.
Thank you for your continued work to educate us all. Your message gave me courage when we were in CA, and continues to give me hope for the friends we left behind.

In March 2021, I packed everything up, put it in storage, booked my car on a transporter to Tampa and bought myself a Southwest ticket…And yes, I made it through without wearing a skam!
And so I began my new home state challenge. Florida is red, but Tampa —- not-so-much. I was surprised and disappointed to see so many skammed-up faces. I expected better... Retailers had the skam signs up, but I did not comply! You taught me well, Peggy, and I happily passed on the education.
I didn’t find Tampainians to be particularly friendly. Not sure if that was a result of the mainstream news dividing people or if that’s their deal.
People would see my California tags and shake their heads. They were not happy about outsiders moving in, especially from NY and CA, because their money was driving up the housing market and Floridians said they couldn’t afford to move in their own state. I get it.
I don’t recall seeing any masks in Sarasota or North Fort Meyers or Ponte Vedra Beach. I’ve been visiting Florida since I was in high school, but I’m not convinced it’s right for me to actually live there…I love love LOVE the Governor, but I was kind of looking forward to living where there’s a bit of a nip in the air come fall…more seasonal changes than SoCal. I’m not a fan of heat, humidity and those wikkid storms... But that may be something I’ll need to revisit and embrace going forward.
There’s a lot to love about California. We’d love to come back, but the government is just too radical and tyrannical. The aggravation factor isn’t worth the additional expense.
Orange County, CA weather is pretty perfect. And consistent. If weather is the priority, you probably shouldn't move.

I'm a stationary engineer. My employer (City & County of San Francisco, Airport Commission) was attempting to force all employees to get the jab... they refused religious exemptions and medical exemptions. They refused to wait until an attenuated-virus vaccine became FDA approved and available. They set their deadline for vaccination so tight that at the time, no FDA approved mRNA gene-therapy vaccines were even available in the US. Yeah, that's a violation of the Nuremberg Code.
I was placed on leave (after working unvaccinated for 18+ months without problem... in an international airport, with travelers from all over the world bringing in the virus, while working on the air handling units which trap the virus in their filters, while changing out and thus handling those filters... without a face mask or gloves or hand sanitizer), then fired on 30 Nov 2021, we left the state on 01 Dec 2021. We moved to Texas. We've temporarily settled in Spring, TX, but I've yet to find a job, so where we finally settle will depend upon that.
Do I regret it? Yes and no... I gave up a $108,000 / yr job for my principles, and it's not likely that I'll find a job in TX that pays half that. I was only 6 years away from retirement, now I'll never be able to retire. My savings are dwindling and if I don't find a job soon, I, my wife and my two kids will be homeless.
But I'm alive and I'm healthy, my principles are intact, I didn't bow to the woketard libtard San Francisco government bullies... a lot of people who took the mRNA gene-therapy 'vaccines' regret it because they're now experiencing adverse health consequences (our neighbor here, a young healthy guy, got his third vax shot and died a few days later of multiple organ failure due to blood clots... two of my former co-workers are now dead of heart attacks just days after getting jabbed). I haven't met an unvaxxed person who regretted not getting vaxxed.

I lived in WA all my life ( The other CA). I went to college in Bellingham and remained there until l was 74. I said l would never leave my garden, but things got too immoral ( sex
ed for kindergartners). I helped get it on the ballot, but it was defeated in the election so l decided it was time to leave!
My daughter had previously moved to ldaho and loved it. My other daughter wanted to move there also so there was NO WAY l was gonna stay in a blue state
with both my daughters in ldaho. I have been here a year now and am grateful every day that l am a citizen of ldaho.
There were adjustments so l can't say it was easy, but am ever so grateful to be here. Idaho summers are BRUTAL and l do miss the WA temps in the 70s, but would NEVER go back to liberal W. WA.
or so l say now.

I lived in NEVADA which was pretty draconian. I also worked for United health group in direct patient care when UHG mandated the vaccine, told me my exemption was temporary and sent me a letter saying that I would be replaced with or without notice . Then they posted my job which my boss confirmed and started interviewing to replace me. So I farmed out my resume and moved to UTAH where my current company which is a well-known And excellent healthcare organization based in Utah took my exemption and hired me. I did get a pay cut because I changed modalities but at least I saved my medical career and I'm still an imaging but just in a lower paying position until my original position opens up then hopefully God will provide as He always has miraculously and for my best interest. I am grateful. I'm grateful to be out of Nevada. Utah is a sanctuary state for freedom lovers. It seems at least to me..
In Utah they mandate all the vaccines in order to work in healthcare . Flu shots. Chicken pox everything...but you can get exemptions with written religious beliefs or a doctor's note. They accept all exemptions.

I moved out of California to Nevada. I was so spiteful of placer county their tyrannical bullies in that state. In Nevada I can open carry my gun and the police are not so board they make criminals out of single mothers
~ ~ ~
Don't move to South Dakota...we are always on the most corrupt state in the nation list.. NOEM LIED ABOUT NOT SHUTTING US DOWN. She lies about everything she says....people who move here REGRET IT!
Paula and I moved to Idaho 6 years ago. But as it is the number 1 state in the union to move to it is fast filling up with Washington democrats. So we moved again to Wyoming.

I'm originally from the midwest but I lived in Sacramento,CA for many years. The homeless have now polluted the Sacramento River where they used to have boat races during the summer, but you don't fish or swim as you could get a disease, but this is what the left wants. No middle class. You make over 100000 you are poor living in your car. I got to keep my California Salary and gained a thirteen percent increase due to no state income taxes. Florida isn't perfect, but for the most part, the beaches are amazing and the water is not freezing cold like the Pacific Ocean. Our prices are going up because the rest of the country is moving here because Florida is free, but if DeSantis doesn't get in in November, this state and most of the country is gone because it will be destroyed like California. Thanks again for all your help with the religious exemption.

I’m a North Idaho resident and I can tell you Californians are moving here in mass! They are buying houses sight unseen off the internet! It’s crazy. Our small towns can’t handle all the new traffic. And because of this mass migration our real estate prices have gone through the roof.

I moved in Feb 2020 from greater Denver to West Virginia. Denver soon went utterly bonkers over an illness that I had already figured out was no worse than a bad flu and probably milder. I am VERY glad I did not subject myself to that evil.
~ ~ ~
I chose West Virginia largely for family reasons, but it is also "wild and wonderful," had far less suppression due to mask nonsense and out of the way of probable nuclear fallout in case of accidents or war.
I am in a rural area that will be hard to starve out because so much grows wild here.
~ ~ ~
My husband and I moved from CA to AZ in February of this year. We chose this state because we have some family here and it’s still close to CA where we can take a short road trip to visit my in-laws. Since I moved here I feel free. My mental health has improved and I’m not as stressed. The people are different and more down to Earth and nice. It feels more like a community where I live (Avondale). Best decision I’ve made in a long time. Do I miss CA? The landscape/nature, friends, and family, yes. Do I miss working for the City of LA, liberal policies, crime, homelessness, lockdowns, etc?? NOPE!! -Happy in Arizona
~ ~ ~
Yes, I moved, two months ago with my 15 year old son. We relocated from Eugene, Oregon (horrible, extremely far-left place) to Oviedo, Florida (safe, clean, beautiful place!). We chose this location because it’s a red state, we love Florida, we love the weather and beaches, and there’s so much opportunity here (can get a job, start a business, etc. without the fear of being locked down). Also my brother lives 30 minutes away so we had one connection which was a huge help from not having any.
The difference between the two cities is night and day! The people, the cleanliness, the lack of homeless, the lack of crazy people out of their mind on the street, the lack of hypodermics and feces, and the love for freedom, God, accountability, Trump, 2A, free from masks and forced vaccines, etc. Not perfect, but such a relief from Eugene! I’m so glad we’re out of Oregon, aside from missing all of our friends, we had met many good people there. Most of our friends now want out but it’s so hard to uproot a family that most are staying due to that (but over a dozen families we know moved to Texas, and some to other states).
Why the move? At some point we have to be concerned about our family’s safety, indoctrination (kids), and lockdowns/masks/vaccines, inability to carry to protect ourselves, inability to work and put food on the table (I saw so many lose their business due to lockdowns while big corporations thrived), etc. As hard as it was to uproot, and still is as we make new friends here, I feel it was the best decision. No regrets but definitely miss our close friends. I don’t miss the hatred of those in the town who are the outspoken, vocal, hateful majority that treat others poorly if they disagree with them medically (or about anything lately). I haven’t experienced that here yet, and expect that we will at some point but it will be minimal compared to Eugene.
Sometimes as hard as it is, moving is the best option and is a change which was hard for me as a parent due to my son’s situation. That said, it’s a learning experience for him and he’s had a stable life in one place up until now, many kids move around a lot, especially military kids. He’s in a private school so that will be a better transition for him than public would be and we’re hoping and praying for the best, especially for him because he’s a great kid!

Dear Peggy
I listened to the Lord
And my gut
I left Newport Beach Ca
For Boise Idaho 2019
I am very happy
I have no regrets
I am a warrior
No v a c c i n e
No big pharma
The hands of the clock
Are turned back here
However, the Lord has let me know…
There is no safe haven on this Earth…
Heaven is my home
