The '''American Redoubt''' movement is an [[conservative]] [[political]] migration initiative created by [[New York Times]] best-selling author [[James Wesley Rawles]] of [[SurvivalBlog.com]]. The American Redoubt where [[citizen]]s are encouraged to pull up stakes and to move to a more open and [[free state]], a safe haven -- to [[vote with your feet | vote with their feet]] -- in the [[Intermountain-West]] of [[Idaho]], [[Montana]], [[Wyoming]], [[Oregon|Eastern Oregon]], [[Washington State|Eastern Washington]], and [[Utah]].

The '''American Redoubt''' movement is an [[conservative]] [[political]] migration initiative created by [[New York Times]] best-selling author [[James Wesley Rawles]] of [[SurvivalBlog.com]]. The American Redoubt where [[citizen]]s are encouraged to pull up stakes and to move to a more open and [[free state]], a safe haven similar to a [[Galt's Gulch]] -- to [[vote with your feet | vote with their feet]] -- in the [[Intermountain-West]] of [[Idaho]], [[Montana]], [[Wyoming]], [[Oregon|Eastern Oregon]], [[Washington State|Eastern Washington]], and [[Utah]].

The American Redoubt concept was endorsed by former [[presidential candidate]] Rev. [[Chuck Baldwin]], who had recently relocated his entire extended family to western Montana. It also soon inspired the launch of a weekly survival-preparedness [[podcast]] by [[Christian]] [[libertarian]] journalist [[John Jacob Schmidt]], called [[Radio Free Redoubt]] (<ref>http://www.radiofreeredoubt.com accessed December 4, 2014</ref>), as well as a volunteer network of [[amateur radio]] operators called [[AmRRON]] (the [[American Redoubt Radio Operators Network]]) established in 2012.

The second podcast is by [[Alex Barron]] (http://alexanderbarron.com), an [[African American]] [[Catholic]] redoubter, who founded the [[Charles Carroll Society]] podcast (https://charlescarrollsociety.com). Alex is the self-proclaimed Bard of the American Redoubt who speaks from a Traditional Catholic, [[Constitutional Conservative]], [[American Patriot]] viewpoint. Alex says, "Jim Rawles coined the term, but it is actually a simple concept, it is called [[political migration]].  There are many groups who have done this over the years; [[Protestant]]s and other minority religious groups escaping the Catholic church in [[Europe]] (I guess that would actually be religious migration but you get the point), [[liberty]]-minded people escaping the Protestant King of [[England]].  [[Native American]]s moving West to escape the European [[colonization]] (I guess forced [[ethnic cleansing]], but again I hope you get the point).  Americans of African descent escaping the South (racial migration?).  Many, many groups move because of various reasons including political reasons.  The American Redoubt is Christian and [[Jewish]] liberty-loving [[traditionalist]] politically migrating from militant [[progressive]] secular states.".. -- [[Blue states]] such as [[California]], [[Connecticut]], [[Delaware]], [[Hawaii]], [[Illinois]], [[Maryland]], [[Maine]], [[Michigan]], [[Massachusetts]], [[New Jersey]], [[New York]], [[Rhode Island]], [[Vermont]], [[Wisconsin]], [[Washington DC]] and others.<ref>https://charlescarrollsociety.com/2013/01/28/the-american-redoubt-who-the-players-are accessed December 4, 2014</ref>

People move to the American Redoubt from [[Nanny state]]s such as the "Left Coast" and the [[East Coast]].
