Maine native, Colin Woodward recently released a book, "American Nations." All PINE supporters might take the time to investigate this insightful writing. It accurately groups New Englanders with Canadians living in the Atlantic Provinces. This area is referred to as "Yankeedom" by Woodward. It would make up an area the size of Texas with a population comparable to Florida. 92% of these residents' ancestors came from England, Scotland, Ireland, Northern Island and Wales. It is the least diverse part of North America. It makes sense that "birds of a feather flock together!" The question becomes, "who would support such a movement, outside of New England?"

Answer: "The Energy Sector." Removing New England's Senate representatives would change the dynamics of the Senate. Oil, Natural Gas, Coal, Nuclear options would lose many of their detractors. "PINERS" could then deal with John Kerry, Elizabeth Warren, Ed Markey and other Globalists accordingly! The remaining states would endorse the new nation of "New England" for a seat on the Arctic Security Council. The new nation could focus on developing Technology, Education Manufacturing, Fishing and Ship Building as their primary industries. They would be spared defense costs and would be treated as Latvia is treated by the EU. In other words, they would be protected from outside interference by a hostile, foreign power. They would be afforded duty free trade with the rest of the country. The new nation would be able to shape their future independently, from immigration quotas to their justice system. It is probable that the new nation would adopt a similar constitution. Likely missing would be the 14th amendment. Perhaps the "second biggest winner" would be crowded England. Brits would welcome a beaconing brother on the "other side of the pond" who would literally recruit their well-educated masses to the new world.
