Not sure if you folks have heard about this yet, but the new Time Dollars idea is gathering a lot of interest here in Florida, and now that people have somewhere that they can turn for help, it's catching on like wildfire. The local paper (islandsandpaper.com) just did a front page story on our Localization Committee here, and wow, that was a great way to get some free advertising out there. So, if you want to start promoting a currency-less environment in your town too, let the local media know about. Their itching for a story like this, so show them your stuff.I have 4 different officials from town hall interested here now too, so I can tell you first hand that the Time Dollars idea is a great way to rally your local townspeople.
