Dave Ridley:

Got on the air myself on WRKO Boston and WCRN Worchester MA this morning Jan 7 to discuss the Independence Amendment. WRKO call went for a full 5 minutes…conservative host was against it because we are supposedly too small…but she was receptive, she kept saying Slovenia and Estonia independence doesn’t count bc they are bigger than us but I finally got a chance to mention they are about the same size both in geography and population, plus many other countries are even smaller. No reliable archiving of shows on their end however. She was also going on about all the great Fed money we get and how much we New Hampshirites need it…(like a hole in the chest!) Typical Fed-licensed radio but she was very courteous.

WCRN was more interested in the process itself since i’ve called them a lot before, and we went into some brief detail on that; he is more friendly to the idea.

A couple of quotes:

Rep. Amanda Toll, D-Keene, who is on the committee that will consider the bill, called the proposal ridiculous.

“This bill represents a problematic, dangerous, and deeply flawed right-wing ideology that presumes that government is fundamentally bad,” she said in an email. “It is my hope that the New Hampshire legislature will reject this reactionary bill that would lead to chaos and anarchy.”

Rep. Joe Schapiro, D-Keene, said CACR 32 epitomizes anti-government and anti-democratic thought within the Republican Party.

“You know it may seem like a joke to many people, but I think it represents a serious and dangerous trend in the New Hampshire Republican majority in the House,” he said. “I think it goes along with bashing public schools, teachers and unions, and really attempting to limit government in a very radical way.”

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_the_United_States_dollar

“... a national currency based on the Spanish silver dollar, which had been in use in the North American colonies of the United Kingdom for over 100 years prior to the United States Declaration of Independence. “

The US started with another country’s money that it had been using for a long time. NH might restart that way or use something else.

Usually NH is great on these lists:
