Letter
Muddle Headed... Liberal?

 

Call me what you will, but Roger Bennet (SVS August 8, 2012) would have lost points in a formal debate by calling me names rather than responding to my assertions and questions on gun control (SVS August 1, 2012).

 

Mr. Bennet did offer “Had there been a person (or persons) in that Colorado movie theater with a legally carried handgun, the matter could have been over quickly.” That’s a good point.

 

However, in a dark, smoke filled theater, what are the odds of a single person with a legally carried handgun stopping that shooter? Or is he suggesting everyone in the theater  (packin’) should start shooting up the place?

 

I believe in the “Castle Doctrine” (use of deadly force against home intruders). I believe in handgun use for self-defense. I do not believe in any form of “stand your ground” whereby unless there is an eyewitness or camera, anyone can shoot and kill; later claiming they “felt” threatened.

 

At any rate, I promise to voters of Allenstown, Epsom and Pittsfield, I will be honest about my positions. The vote is yours. I will be happy to accept your decision either way.

Starting Your Own Small Business

 

Are you thinking of starting a small business?  On Wednesday, August 22, at 7:00 pm, Hugh Curley, an Economic Development Specialist with the U.S. Small Business Administration, will discuss “Finding Help to Start or Grow Your Business.”  Mr. Curley will not only provide an overview of the programs available to support entrepreneurs as they start and grow their businesses in New Hampshire but he will also talk about how to best access them.

 

Although relatively new to New Hampshire, having located here in 2009, Mr. Curley worked in the area of business and community development in Connecticut for the past twenty years on the local, regional and federal levels. In his current position, he provides valuable information on services available through the SBA, their resource partners, and state and municipal economic development agencies.

 

Since arriving in Epsom in 2010, Mr. Curley has served on the Epsom Cable Contract Renewal Committee, and he currently serves as Chair of the Epsom Cemetery Trustees.

 


 

Letter

 

To our constituents in Allenstown, Epsom, and Pittsfield:
People driving on Route 28 might have seen the John Reagan for State Senate sign in our yard. John Reagan is a retired firefighter, a three term State Representative and current Selectman in Deerfield. Carol has worked with him in the House and knows he is hard working, conscientious and knowledgeable about many issues facing the state. John also has the time necessary to be a senator; with only 24 senators, each must serve on several committees and hold multiple positions.

 

This session, there were ten freshman senators, and they were less than effective for their constituents because many had never been in the House, either. They didn’t know the rules, written and unwritten, and the veterans outmaneuvered them on many issues. Half the freshman Senators have decided not to run for re-election, in large part because they had underestimated the time commitment required.

 

Howard Pearl, the other Republican candidate, is a farmer from Loudon, a small businessman and a New Hampshire native with a long family history here. He’s a nice person, friendly and sociable, who has worked with farmers throughout the area. However, he has never served in the legislature. More significantly, Howard has declined to state his position on any of the issues that every Representative or Senator faces. We prepared, for Pittsfield Old Home Day, a summary of 30 assorted bills that came to a vote this session, with our votes, Tony Soltani’s and John Reagan’s. Gerard LeDuc worked through the bills and presented how he would have voted. Howard Pearl would not give us his position on any of these bills.

 

For these reasons, we support John Reagan for State Senate and urge you to vote for him.

 

Interested readers can email Carol for her newsletter.

Letter To The Editor

 

I have known Rep. Tony Soltani for some 15 years, having met him when I started serving as a State Rep, myself, back in 1997.  In all the years I’ve served alongside him, I have never once seen him compromise his integrity or his beliefs, back down from a tough issue, or walk away from doing the right thing. In fact, he’s the first person to stand up and call out an injustice.

 

Some candidates tell reporters that they stand for this or believe in that. Who knows what that means?  Tony Soltani has a track record that clearly demonstrates his unwavering commitment to his constituents, to liberty and fiscal conservatism, and to ensuring that what we love about our New Hampshire stays strong!
