Letter To The
Editor
Americans have a choice this election. Northwood has
an additional choice for the position of State Representative. My
husband, Alec Correa, and I are voting for Bruce Hodgdon as our next
State Representative.
During my discussion with Bruce, he
told me he was a small businessman, who feels if he does not run and
win this office no one will continue to speak for small business and
the taxpayers of Northwood. He also told me he would like to
be able to hire more people, but can not with the uncertain climate
projected by the current Presidential Administration, but feels the
current legislature here in the State of New Hampshire needs to keep
on doing what it is doing: cutting spending, balancing the budget,
and not increasing regulatory legislation.
If these three things
are not continued, we might as well die because we will not be
living free. We are also concerned that one of our most primary
rights, Freedom of Religion, will continue to be stripped if the
opposition wins the election.
We moved to New Hampshire from
Massachusetts almost 10 years ago. We do not want an income tax, a
sales tax, or any other taxes imposed on the citizens of New
Hampshire. Massachusetts has all these taxes and they are
still begging for more.
Please vote for Bruce Hodgdon as
Northwood’s State Representative. Signed, Marie and Alec
Correa

I support Bob Burns for Executive Council
for several reasons, such as his very fine management as Treasurer
of Hillsborough County’s money after taking over from Pappas.
But
most importantly, when I was in the legislature Chris Pappas would
sit out in the anti-room playing on his laptop computer not
listening to the arguments of why proposed legislative laws should
or should not pass. His disrespect of the nearly 400 who sat
in their seats and listened to fellow legislators showing respect
and attention to duty, was in my opinion an insult to his
constituents.
Executive Councilors must listen to constituents in
order to vote appointments for the courts, department heads etc. and
I know Bob Burns will do the listening.

Here’s what everyone needs to
know about the new Voter ID law and the November 6 election:
1.
Valid photo IDs include (but are not limited to) in and out of state
driver’s license, in and out of state nondriver’s license photo ID,
and passports regardless of expiration date.
2. You do not need
to have a photo ID to vote. If you do not have a valid photo ID you
can exercise your right to vote by signing an affidavit declaring
you are who you claim to be.
3. No one should be turned away at
the polls on November 6th for not having a valid photo ID.
Also,
you can be identified by any election official, such as the
moderator, the town clerk or the supervisors of the checklist, if
they know you. The ballot clerks are not election officials and
cannot perform this identification. While many of us have
a lot of questions about the need for this law, it might be best to
show your ID at the polls, especially if the lines are long.
We don’t want to slow down the process in what will be a very busy
day and perhaps discourage someone in line behind us to leave
without voting. The place for the validity of this law to be
challenged is in the courts, and that is happening.
Exercise Your
Right To Vote! Lucy Edwards Northwood
Letter
“A
government that is big enough to give you everything you want, is
big enough to take everything you have” --ageless wisdom.
And so once again an advocate of ever growing government, Lucy
Edwards, expressed her opposition to the proposed N.H.
constitutional amendment that would prohibit an income tax.
Mrs. Edwards labors under several misconceptions that always work to
deprive free citizens of their liberty and their money... (but then
that’s redundant isn’t it?) Supposedly she is concerned that the
taxpayers would have to defend themselves in lawsuits brought by
those that are trying to grab the taxpayers own money. I thought she
was joking. But of course she is not. Irony of ironies,
citizens who are out to defend their freedom against those that
would take it. What gall.
What Mrs. Edwards and other advocates
of ever growing government want is more money to spend and waste,
regardless of its effectiveness. Waste is the operative word here.
She asserts that prohibiting an income tax would
“inevitably”..result in “raising other taxes”. There is
absolutely nothing inevitable here except in the mind of someone who
wants government to have even more tax dollars to spend (and waste).
A N.H. budget where waste and misspent money is eliminated would be
smaller not “inevitably” bigger. All too often, we don’t get good
value for our money now so why on earth would we want to make it
possible for the leviathan (its for your own good don’cha ya know)
of government to grab more?
