To all Voters
This Mid Term Election on Nov. 2, 2010 is one of the most important elections that any of the voters of this time have ever participated in. We have a chance to start reclaiming our country. Our career Politicians are either selling us down the river or allowing it to happen by rubber stamping any thing that Washington wants to do. We have to put people in office that will govern us by following The Constitution of The United States. I feel that can be accomplished by voting out all of the Democrats and all of the incumbent Republicans. That’s just for starters.


Then we have to let all of the office holders know that we, the Voters, insist on term limits for all offices. Also Lobbyists have to be curbed or abolished completely. This country cannot survive without a thorough cleaning of Washington, and that will take a lot of scrubbing. We all know that this undertaking cannot happen over night but by following this formula election after election we will cleanse Washington. We need new blood, new ideas and new directions for this Country. With a population of over three hundred million in this land we the people can, by our votes, find enough new blood to run this country. We have to find a new way to pick our candidates for office and not leave it up to the bosses of both major parties. For all you would be politicians out there it might be a good idea to start an Independent party.


Whether you agree with me or not, Please get out and vote NOV. 2, 2010.

American Voter

 


 

NH State Police Troopers Can Help The Needy


In brief and in part, the overtime and private details facilitates the movement of vehicular and pedestrian traffic or described in other documents as: “directing traffic around.“  Records show the state charges the contractors $70.00 per hour which is broken down to things such as use of cruiser, retirement, uniform, cleaning costs, etc.


My sole point in sharing this article is not to bash the troopers rather to open the eyes of the Governor. In 2008 construction details reached 39,000 hours which brought in 2.58 million dollars.  Imagine what this kind of money could do to help those who have lost a job, a home, etc. They need it now. Think of it, 7 men or 7 women at $10.00 per hour to accomplish the same job and save a life / family.

Out Of Your Attic Thrift Shop News
Submitted by Carol Hendee


 The Shop looks a bit different.  The “X” room is gone.  That room is now filled with winter coats, hats, boots, seasonal equipment and Thanksgiving and Christmas decorations and housewares.  We intend to keep filling it with larger items that we previously had no space to set out for sale.  This will give you more merchandise to choose from.  If you check Baby Threads web site-Monthly report- May-August 2010, you will see the work in progress, which included 192 hats, scarves, gloves and mittens distributed to those in need.  Also provided were 2 comfort kits, 32 blankets, afghans, quilts, 22 large comforters, 1 sewing machine and 30 hygiene kits, just to mention a few items.  Help us continue the good work.  We are at 345 Suncook Valley Highway, Chichester, 8-4 Tues. and Thurs, 11-4 Wed. and 10-4 Saturday.

 


 

Letter To The Editor


Dear Mr. Editor:
I ask my fellow citizens of Epsom, Allenstown and Pittsfield to cast a vote for Tony Soltani, for State Representative on November 2, 2010.


I have had the opportunity to work with Tony for several years in my various capacities serving the people of Epsom.  I know by first hand knowledge that his objectives and loyalties mirror that of my own.  Namely, putting the interest of the people whom we serve first.  Like myself, Tony is a believer in the philosophy that we are elected to serve the people and not the other way  around.  If there is a way to save the Town funds, Tony will find it.


As a volunteer, he has served on many Town Boards and Committees.  He does not back away from a fight where the interest of his constituents are concerned, as he well demonstrated while serving four terms on the House Judiciary Committee, before he fell ill.  He has now fought his way back to health and is ready to represent us again.


He is not beholden to any lobbyists, interest groups or any party bosses.  He does simply what he believes to be right and in the best interest of the State, regardless of external pressures.


I will be voting for Tony Soltani as our State Representative and ask you to join me in sending a voice for common sense and reason on our behalf to Concord on November 2, 2010.  WE NEED TONY BACK NOW.


Very truly yours,
Robert Blodgett
Epsom

 


 

Letter


To my constituents in Allenstown, Epsom, & Pittsfield:
Wednesday was the final session of this legislature, as we resolved Governor’s vetoes. None was overturned, although HB1161, repealing local handgun sales licenses, passed the House but failed in the Senate. A motion to suspend the rules and consider an amendment to SB500, extending parole criteria, failed 143-193. I voted for it, but on further thought regret it. The amendment would have fixed the current hot issues, but since it had no public hearing and no chance for most Representatives to read or study it, would probably have unintended consequences. I expect legislation on this issue to be a major concern for the next session.


My committee met this week to conclude six bills, recommending all for further legislative action. HB42, a state meat inspection program, and HB1631, on the building code/fire code interaction, have bills already submitted. HB218, on the state park fund, and SB414, on the Mount Washington Commission, had revealed a confusing morass of different funds, overlapping authority, and multiple programs that were created at different times and never coordinated. The committee on these two bills was unsure of the best fix, but agreed that action is required. That was also the conclusion on HB1593, regulation of dental hygienists: there are at least two contradictory bills being submitted! Finally, HB1576, on retirees actively serving in pensionable positions, was hotly debated. Everyone agreed that it is inappropriate to retire, then immediately return to the same position, either full or part time; the problem is people going to different positions. For example, county taxpayers save with sheriffs or jail chiefs who are retired police; many state officials only accept short term political appointments because they are also collecting a pension.


Anyone interested in what’s going on at the State House is invited to email or call me; those who’d like a more detailed report than I can fit in The Sun should email me for my newsletter.

Letter To The Editor


Dear Editor:
I am writing this letter to express my steadfast support of New Hampshire State Representative candidate Tony Soltani.


In expressing my support, I acknowledge that no two people will ever see eye to eye on every political issue.  That is simply an inherent characteristic of politics and people in general (with all our various perspectives and passions).  However, even when it comes to that point where the only thing left is to agree to disagree, Tony Soltani is one of a select few people, if not the only one, that I know who will actually use his position as state representative to be a voice for the people and to ultimately do what he feels, in his heart, is the best thing for New Hampshire and the people of New Hampshire.


In that sense, Tony is perhaps somewhat anti-political.  He is not the baby kissing, hand shaking type.  He is not the expensive suit wearing type.  He is the get the job done type.  Tony Soltani is the do what is right type.  After knowing Tony for 24 years, I know that he will bring all his various experience into the State House.  I know that he will work tirelessly to ensure that integrity, reason, and the common good are the driving forces behind our New Hampshire state government.


There is no question that Tony will be getting my vote on November 2, 2010; and I ask that you and your readers answer the call by supporting Tony Soltani.


Sincerely,
Douglas Blackwell
Epsom

 


 

Letter To The Editor


Dear Editor:
I write in support of Tony Soltani, candidate for New Hampshire State Representative.

 

 Our state constitution establishes that government originates from the people and is instituted for the general good.  It further recognizes that the people “have certain natural, essential, and inherent rights.”


I have known Tony for 22 years, and I know that Tony holds his country’s and his state’s founding documents dear.  As a fellow veteran, Tony has defended the constitutions and people of his country and his state in both war and peace time.  As a representative in the State House, he carries out his duties with the people - with his constituents - in mind.  He makes it his mission to ensure that the guaranteed rights of every New Hampshire citizen are given true meaning, to protect our interests, and to promote the general good.


I know in my heart that if Tony is once again granted the honor and privilege of serving New Hampshire and her citizens in the State House, he will do everything in his power to honor and defend our constitution, to look out for his constituents and all New Hampshire citizens, and, in a word, to do the right thing for the state and the people.


I will be voting for Tony Soltani on November 2, 2010 and ask that you and your readers give him your votes as well.


Sincerely,
Roland Lafleur
Epsom
