Welcome to the official home of the Free Terrestrial Movement! We hope you enjoy the website, consider the philosophy, and help to support the cause.
“The freedom to choose to live independently...”
The Mission of the Free Terrestrial Movement is to use peaceful political and social pressure to insert, support, and preserve the Twelve Demandments of Free Terrestrialism into modern society and current and future political models while also seeking, promoting, and preserving unique and ingenuitive ideas for living as a Free Terrestrial under current social and political conditions.
We Are individuals and groups of individuals who support the Twelve Demandments and Philosophy of the Free Terrestrial Movement. The Free Terrestrial Movement (FTM) is not a registered non-profit organization or political party. It is more of a networking of those who share like minds and philosophies primarily concerning liberty, extremely small government, economic freedom, environmental concerns, sustainability, personal responsibility, and natural living.
What We Do is lobby for the rights and beliefs of the Twelve Demandments of Free Terrestrialism while implementing ideas and living as free as possible within our current societies and situations. By networking we help others, invite others, and make our cause visible to the public.
