be restricted to the walls.”

Letter
“On Anti-Gun Ranting”
It’s a sad thing to once more read hysterical anti-gun ranting from
a person like Nancy Heath. In her recent muddle headed letter via
the Suncook Valley Sun, she relates the Colorado tragedy to our
Constitution’s 2nd amendment and disparages the intent of our
country’s founders to protect and preserve the rights of individuals
to own firearms. That amendment was specifically put there by our
founding fathers to protect us from Domestic Terrorism.
Ms. Heath specifically appears to throw blame at NH Speaker of the
House Bill O’Brien, Wayne LaPierre of the NRA, and at Mitt Romney.
I’m surprised that she didn’t throw in George W. Bush’s name too!
Apparently in true Liberal form, Ms. Heath holds Republicans solely
responsible for the world’s ills. Those points mentioned by this
woman are trite and worn out, with little basis in logic or the law.
Had there been a person (or persons) in that Colorado movie theater
with a legally carried handgun, the matter could have been over
quickly.
I hope that common sense will prevail in all of us, and that people
like Nancy Heath will not be elected to public office. There are far
too many people like “that” already, who have ruined, bankrupt, and
sent our country down the wrong path. If we’re to place blame, let’s
place it on violent video games, violence in movies, lack of learned
responsibility, and a spoiled and much indulged generation, which
feels that it can act out with impunity!
Let’s all advocate for common sense and reason.

Letter
To my constituents in Allenstown, Epsom, and Pittsfield:
This week Dan and I are in Washington DC, at the Cato University.
Cato is a non-partisan, libertarian think tank, and we’re getting an
education in economics, history, and the US Constitution. One very
interesting talk was about the details of the Affordable Care Act,
aka Obamacare. Since, like most (all?) people, we haven’t read
the entire bill and the resulting regulations, a scholarly view was
instructive.
The bill was intended to spread health insurance coverage to
32 million people, half through expanding Medicaid and half through
the “exchanges”. After the Supreme Court decision that the Medicaid
expansion would be voluntary to the states, that won’t happen: most
states looked at the costs involved and intend to say no, since the
Federal government will dictate all the requirements. The exchanges
are no better: the federal HHS secretary is authorized to make all
the rules for them, so the states would take on an obligation
without any control.
Payment for this program was planned to be half from an assortment
of new and increased taxes (on medical devices, tanning beds, people
who chose not to buy insurance... ) and half from cutting Medicare
expenditures. Since Medicare monopolizes medical care for people
over 65, and doesn’t pay full rates now, that’s a recipe for
rationing aka “death panels.”
Interested people can email me for my newsletter, with more details
than I can fit in a letter.

Re: candidate Nancy Heath candidate for State Rep
This letter is to share why I will not be voting for Nancy Heath for
State Rep.
The last few weeks Nancy Heath has submitted letters to the editor
on where she stands. What I have come up with are the two main
important reasons why I will not be voting for her.
1. She is clearly an emotional voter, which means she votes based on
emotion at that moment and does not set her emotions at the door and
vote on/from facts.
2. From reading her letters, I find she does not believe in:
Liberty, individual rights, and Freedom.
These reasons alone are why I will not be voting for Nancy Heath as
State Rep.

Letter
I grew up attending Friday Night Fish Fries with “Daddy” the
Democrat. Come Election Day, I was passing out “Vote Republican”
cards (for Sheriff) for my favorite Republican, Uncle Elbert.
I respect every category on the political scale as I learned it:
Radical, Liberal, Moderate, Conservative, Reactionary. Every person
has their own political leanings gathered mostly from their life’s
experience. Most of us are conservative on some things while liberal
on others.
During my letter writing campaign, I will mostly be using forms of
the words “conserve/liberate” rather than Democrat/Republican. For 5
decades, I have believed “conservative” Republicans work to
“conserve” policies which are working well while “liberal” Democrats
work to “liberate” us from policies which are not working well for
society. Everything else is silly.
Presently a Republican woman, Ann Romney, is being criticized for
her part ownership in an Olympian horse “Rafalca.” I say “screw the
politics!” Who can wish ill will on a horse? Whether the horse is
running wild in the west, pulling a harrow on a farm, running for
the roses in the Kentucky Derby or competing in “Dressage” in the
Olympics: I say Best Of Luck Ann Romney And Rafalca, Bring Home The
Gold! (I’m taping Rafalca which according to Google will air August
7 at 5 am)
Nancy Heath
