Or the “treasonous secessionists” 246 years ago? Ahh, irony…

Letter: What if
Published: 1/22/2022 7:01:23 AM
“Imagine if you will…”
New Hampshire legislators and voters, in a fit of shared delusion, actually pass a measure to secede from the United States. Congress and the president stop laughing long enough to take it seriously. After much online posturing by Proud Boys, Fat Boys and Po’ Boys, who will be nowhere to be seen when it really happens, imagine that it really happens.
After the equivalent of a high school food fight, New Hampshire finds itself under occupation by units of the United States Army. How many of those occupying troops do we think might just be direct descendants of men who fought under the flag of the treasonous secessionists 160 years ago? We should all be grateful to Rep. Mike Sylvia (R - Cloud Cuckoo Land) and his pals for reminding us that irony is, indeed, not dead.

https://lifewithliznh.com/ on a Nashua radio show covered it and has joined the NHexit FB group. But the archive is hard to link to:
Redirecting... you’ll have to scroll down. Maybe waayyyyyy down.

(You’ll have to search this one above for the word “succession” rather than “secession”)

I Got on the following show 2/1… talked briefly about the independence hearing Jan 20. Friendly host but didn’t get much time, and I don’t see an archive:

" 6a-9a boston area (actually starts 5a but no calls till 6 usually ) https://talk1200boston.iheart.com/featured/the-jim-polito-show/ 1 sss The success of The Jim Polito Show
jamespolito@iheartmedia.com Studio Line: 855-403-9846 usually doestn take calls till 6a "

Got on air 2/1 WCAP-AM lowell MA to talk at some length about the independence hearing, friendly hosts, we dwelt mostly on why it would be good (me) and them talking about why it would be impractical , also the Slovenian and Estonian and Quebecois successes.

Rush Limbaugh substitute denounces NH independence drive as “B.S.” (below)

I got on air about 12 minutes in (above), to talk about the NH Independence Amendment… listen to his reaction! Davis has occasionally filled in for “El Rushbo” (R.I.P.) over the years, but this was a call to Mark’s show in Dallas. Folks have criticized him for his response but he is a nice guy, I used to sort of work for him. He probably didn’t recognize my voice; it’s been a long time. (above)

30 minutes in , Got on air WBZ (above) with thoughts on how NH Independence is one way to opt out of Washington’s nuclear war attempts. I didn’t bring this up but the independence drive in Montenegro had a positive impact on D.C. when it was bombing Yugoslaiva in 1999.

I got on air 2/8/2022 WCRN with similar message but only about half of my words appear to have gotten thru because of what they said was a wind storm interruption.

Was phone-guest on WSMN radio Nashua and also Jack Heath’s show (WTPL Manch i think) 3/9 and 3/10 discussing the independence vote. Both shows friendly.

Got on air WKBK radio Keene (625am eastern) and WCRN radio Mass. (640a.m. eastern) to discuss tHe NH independence amendment. this was on MarcH 11. KBK hostile to the idea but friendly to me as usual, WCRN more like tolerant and friendly. Doesn’t look like any of these archived the conversations. WCRN had already reported on it as their lead talk story I think.

Are you an antifederalist? Then you might like #NHexit

“CACR32, an amendment calling for New Hampshire’s independence from the United States, was shot down on the house floor two weeks ago, but the Libertarian and anti-federalist attitudes behind it are here to stay.”
