Letter To The Editor


Editor:
I will be voting for Tony F. Soltani for State Representative on September 14, 2010. I have known Tony as a friend, police officer and a public official for more than twenty (20) years. He has always worked tirelessly to serve the public. Tony has worked hard to bring reform and accountability to the State government and all of his branches. The state courts are today far more responsive to the public needs than ten years ago, although much work needs to be done. Much of the reform can be attributed to Tony. When he served 8 years on the House Judiciary Committee. He was a conscientious servant of the people and always responsive to his constituents. After his absence of four years from politics, the government has grown massively, the economy has spiraled and taxes have increased by a record number.


I know I can always rely on Tony’s good judgment. I ask the voters of Epsom, Allenstown, and Pittsfield to join me in supporting Tony for State Representative. In these times, we need Tony Back NOW.


Very truly yours,
Michael Dempsey
Epsom, NH

 


 

Letter To The Editor


Editor
I am writing in support of Tony Soltani, who is seeking to return to the State House after a four year absence. I have known Tony for about 20 years. I saw him at work in Concord, where he refused to become beholden to any lobbyists, or party bosses. He is a man of integrity and always acts with his constituents in mind.


Although he keeps his small town values and is by no means extravagant, he is intelligent, dedicated and loyal. He is a Mensa, which means that his IQ is on the top 2% of the world population. While at the State House, he refused to accept anything of any value from any lobbyist or organization. He always paid his own way. He also insisted that all legislative staff call him “Tony”, often retorting that he worked for the people and not the other way around. He needed a special dispensation from the House for that request which was granted.


Tony has always been  a voice of reason and integrity representing Epsom, Allenstown and Pittsfield. I will proudly be voting for Tony Soltani as our state representative and ask you to join me. New Hampshire is in a mess with its budget, economy, jobs, and taxes. WE NEED TONY BACK NOW.


Very truly yours,
Alan Quimby
Epsom, NH

 


 

Letter To The Editor


Dear Editor:
Having been out of the State House for four (4) years, and having worked so hard to reign the state government spending, promote openness, and limit taxation, I am now a witness to the destruction of our State. I do not even recognize New Hampshire the way I left the State House. In short, we are in a mess.


When I left the State House, our unemployment rate hovered around 4%. We are at least double that amount. We had distinction of being the safest state in the union . We were one of the most desirable states for employers. We have by far lost our standing. I have seen the state turned upside down. My representatives, with the exception of Carol McGuire, do not so much as make a report to the public to explain their conduct. People are suffering. People are unemployed. People cannot pay their municipal taxes and Concord answers by imposing taxes and mandates. People cannot pay their local taxes, not because they do not want to, but because they simply cannot afford to. Concord’s answer is to tax them 25% of the actual cash value of the home which they have lost but now they want back. In effect, if you lose your home just because you cannot pay your taxes, you must pay $25,000.00 on every $100,000.00 of the value of your home.


Because of what I have seen, what I have read, and my experience during my years at the State House and as a small business owner, I have decided to run again for the New Hampshire State House of Representatives to have the privilege of representing the great towns of Allenstown, Epsom and Pittsfield. I respectfully ask for your support and your vote.


Respectfully,
Tony Soltani

 


 

Letter


To my constituents in Allenstown, Epsom, And Pittsfield:
You’re facing a difficult decision this September 14; there are seven Republicans in a primary battle for four State Representative positions. Tony Soltani has been a Representative before. He has a voting record so you know how he’ll represent you.


Dan McGuire is my husband, so I can vouch for him! His positions are very close to mine. Jon Richardson, Matt Bacon and Scott Spaulding are new to politics, but have all expressed sensible positions on taxes, regulations and state government.


Please don’t vote for John Klose, although he’s a fine person and has served as State Representative in the past. John has decided that he can’t do it this time. His name will still be on the ballot, but he doesn’t want the position.


Finally, there’s me. I’d very much appreciate your support. I’m the only incumbent running and you can look up my voting record on the House’s website. I’ve tried to keep you informed every week of what I’m doing and what’s going on in Concord, and will continue to do so if reelected.


Please come to meet our candidates in person, September 7, 8, and 9 in Allenstown, Epsom and Pittsfield, respectively. For details see the ad in last week’s paper or go to suncookvalleygop.org. 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 a letter should email me for my newsletter.


Let me know if you want a McGuire sign for your front lawn!


Representative Carol McGuire

782-4918

 


 

Letter


It’s another election cycle, and it’s time to once again elect our potential state representatives in the primary this upcoming Tuesday, September 14th. Primaries will be held in every voting district, and, while historically primary turnouts seem to be generally low, this is not the time to be apathetic.

 
In Merrimack County District 8, which makes up the towns of Allenstown, Epsom, and Pittsfield, on the Republican side, there will be a choice of seven candidates for the four seats up for grabs in November. It is in writing this letter that I would like to recommend four of these, namely Carol and Dan McGuire, Tony Soltani, and Jon Richardson, to fill the Republican slate for the November 2nd general election.


Carol is presently a state representative, and I greatly appreciate her open letters in the paper regarding current legislation, thus increasing transparency in her position. Tony Soltani, having served as a state representative in the past has a voting record that shows that he is both socially and fiscally conservative. Dan has been involved in local conservative groups such as Granite State taxpayers, The Coalition of New Hampshire Taxpayers, and presently serves as the secretary of the Merrimack County Republican Committee. Jon, a business manager, has a keen interest in state politics and feels a strong sense of duty to be involved in the direction of our state, and it is refreshing to see a young man who is conservative and willing to serve and represent us.


Constitutionally, we as voters will choose the direction of our state. If the direction towards enacting conservative social policies and affirming as well as strengthening family businesses through sound fiscal policy appeals to you, then I recommend Carol, Tony, Dan, and Jon. Don’t forget to exercise your civic duty on September 14.


Respectfully submitted,
Tom Langlais, Epsom

 


 

Letter


My husband, Jon Richardson, is running to be a State Representative to represent the towns of Allenstown, Epsom, and Pittsfield. Jon and I have been married for seven years. We recently started our own family. Jon is worried that our son will not have the same educational or career opportunities that we were blessed to enjoy. Jon’s passion is that our son will be able to grow up in the same NH that we both grew up in.


Jon will work to keep NH a safe, clean, family-friendly state. A state where small business can prosper and provide jobs for all. A state that says “no” to a sales or income tax and that does not keep raising property taxes and various fees. A state that provides a quality education and values the teachers who educate our future leaders.

 
As a young couple we have worked many hours for everything we own. Every dollar is hard earned and spent wisely. Jon would use the same principles as a State Representative to make sure that your hard earned money is not being wasted.

 
Jon is a man who wants to make a difference for what is right. Jon will voice his opinion and take action. Jon has the drive and commitment to make a difference in NH for you and your family.


If you live in Allenstown, Epsom, or my home town of Pittsfield, I strongly urge you to make a vote for my husband, Jon Richardson, on September 14th.


Thank You,
Jasmyn Richardson, Allenstown, NH

 


 

Register Your Making Strides Against Breast Cancer Team Now


August 30, 2010 –The American Cancer Society Making Strides Against Breast Cancer® walk to fight breast cancer is just around the corner. Team leaders are needed to pull together friends, family members, co-workers, and others to participate in Making Strides in Concord on Sunday, October 17, 2010 at Memorial Field.

 
A team is at least 10 people, who each commit to raising a minimum of $75. Each team member will receive a long sleeve Making Strides T Shirt, with the team name on the back.


Team T shirt order deadline is September 15, 2010, so act today. For a Team Leader Kit, email [email protected] or call (603) 738-4404.


Making Strides Against Breast Cancer is a 5 mile walk that unites thousands of women, men and children in the community to honor and celebrate breast cancer survivors, save lives, and create more birthdays by helping people stay well and get well, by finding cures, and by fighting back against cancer.


In 2009, 700,000 walkers nationwide raised $60 million, including over 3500 walkers at the Concord event, who raised over $545,000, to support breast cancer research and programs and services of the American Cancer Society.


This year, the Making Strides Against Breast Cancer of Concord NH event will be one of over 160 currently being held across the country, and one of 8 being held in New Hampshire.


Liz Parker, from the Parker Academy team says “I know there are cures just waiting to happen and I want to be a part of facilitating them. Last year, our team was 37 team members strong and we raised nearly $8000. Despite the less than desirable weather, the team completed the walk with wet shoes and smiles on their faces, knowing that their efforts made an impact in the fight against breast cancer.” 


Over time, the Society has invested more in breast cancer research than any other voluntary public health organization. Since 1971, it has funded more than $419 million in breast cancer research. We have played a role in nearly every major cancer research breakthrough of the last century, leading to groundbreaking discoveries into breast cancer’s causes and cures.

Epsom Bible Church AWANA Clubs


Awana Clubs at Epsom Bible Church will begin our 2010-2011 season on Thursday night September 16th. This will be our 24th year of having Awana Clubs and we are thankful for the things God has accomplished through this program in previous years.


For those of you who may not be familiar, Epsom Bible Awana Clubs are a branch of Awana International which started in the early 1950s in a Chicago church and has grown into a worldwide program teaching boys and girls the Word of God in unique ways. Awana Clubs offered at Epsom Bible include Cubbies for girls and boys ages 3 and 4, Sparks for girls and boys in school grades K-2, as well as Truth and Training for girls and boys in grades 3 through 6.


Each Awana night consists of a game time, handbook time, and council time. Once or twice a month we plan a special theme night. We try to make our clubs as fun and exciting as possible. During Council time one of our leaders or a special guest speaker presents a message from the Bible, and awards are presented to those clubbers who have earned them for completing handbook work. If your children, or you, attended Awana in the past, you will find that most all of the handbooks have been recently updated.


Our Clubs are open to all children in the Epsom area, and we would love to have your children attend. You do not need to be a member of, or attend, Epsom Bible Church, for your children to attend. Come to Club on the 16th or any Thursday evening thereafter between 6:15 and 6:30 PM. Club starts at 6:30 and we end the evening at 8:00. Epsom Bible Church is at 398 Black Hall Road, approximately 3/4 mile past the Epsom Central School on the same side of the road (look for the big sign out front ). If you have any questions or would like more information call Kim or Paul Sanborn at 798-5050 or email at: [email protected].
