It is now time to start listing the candidates for NH State Senate that will get the nod from GraniteGrok in this election season. As with all of the previous candidates, we expect them to be Conservative and supportive of policies that stress and enhance the sense of and pursuit of Individual liberty & Freedom (something that absolutely drives both Establishment Republicans and Democrat Socialists nuts – but for different reasons (mostly)). We want them to stand tall and standfast – don’t speak words now and then fade like the Red Sox when the action (and criticism) gets hot and heavy. Face it – a lot of flack was thrown at the just past session and not just from the Progressives Regressives and the media in their pocket; they sorely disappointed a lot of the grassroots, like us, that expected FAR more from them than the Bragdon-Bradley led SUPERMAJORITY Republicans in the Senate.
In no particular order, we begin then, with District 5 with Cynthia Coolidge Howard. Most of our recommendations start with me – this time, it came from some of the other Groksters (and they were adamant about it, too!). She has a history as a tax fighter and understands why local taxes are so high. A bona fide member of the TEA Party movement, she understands and supports the three main philosophical points of it:
- Free Markets
- Taxed Enough Already – a more frugal, careful Government at all levels
- Adherence to Constitutional principles
All this adds up to Democrats decrying “EXTREMIST!”. Well, in that case, we’re with her. She understands that we are adults, can make adults decisions, and that (unlike Democrats who wish to treat us all as wards of the State that), self-responsibility and self-reliance are the pillars of a successful Society (and that Government has encroached to much into general Society). From her website:
“I am the founder of Claremont Citizens for Lower Taxes, a Tea Party group. I have fought for several years against high property taxes and wasteful spending locally, statewide, and nationally. I served one term on the Claremont School board where I fought against the Stevens Renovation Project addition (a cost of $22.9 million dollars). I have proposed spending cap initiatives to alleviate the local tax burden.
I have organized tea party events locally and statewide, and have spoken at many events as well as at the annual Coalition of NH Taxpayer’s picnic.”
Works for us!
We fully endorse Cynthia for NH State Senate and ask for your vote for her.
