Update on New Hampshire HCR 6 - Jeffersonian Principles


Hi Jesse,

Went to Concord today to observe the testimony before the committee regarding the resolution HCR 6.

Quite impressive number of people, at least 60, which I'm told is above average.

The bill's sponsor said as a result of his work, he's aware of six other states moving ahead with similar resolutions designed to send a message to DC on limiting federal government.

Montana may vote this week. The bill's sponsor and co-sponsor are getting much publicity and calls from constituents.

About six state reps testified in favor of adoption. Another half dozen citizens spoke. Some were quite eloquent, they brought up the economic mess, the Federal Reserve, and their own understanding of our history and Constitution.

We will be following the bill's progress and hope they recommend it to the NH Legislature which may be as soon as later next week.

I'll keep you updated---

Bill
