This is to respond to the letter from the Windham Democrat Party entitled “In Case You Missed It” opposing the current House bill HB1393.
This bill passed in the NH House by a wide margin, and is expected to pass in the Senate, then it will be signed into law by Governor Sununu.
So, you may ask, why is the local, state, and national Democrat Party vehemently opposed to the passage of this bill? The teacher’s unions are the largest donors to the Democrat Party, that’s why. The last thing the teacher’s unions want is competition from charter schools and private schools having access to public tax revenues for education.
Since NH is a “red state” in a sea of blue here in the northeast of the US, we have a republican house and senate majority, and a republican governor. Therefore, over 2000 granite state families now have the freedom to legally remove their children from under-performing, or simply ill-matched public schools, by taking the $’s assigned to their child’s education via a “educational voucher.”
From the Democrat Party standpoint, house bill HB1393, and the current educational voucher law cannot stand! Why? Because they are a major threat to their power and control of your children’s education. The author of the letter claims it is undemocratic to support this bill, and you are an “extremist and far right” if you support HB1393 and the existing educational voucher law.
The vast majority of Windham voters who are either registered republican or undeclared, as well as our dedicated Republican State Representatives, actually support this legislation!
Finally, I believe the Democrat Party leaders here in NH and in Washington are the extremists here. In just 16 months we all have seen with our own eyes our beloved country intentionally destroyed! Here are just a couple of examples:
Highest US inflation rate of 8.5% since the 60’s. (If food and fuel increases were included, the actual rate would be 20%) The unlawful invasion of our southern border with 18,000 illegal immigrants entering /day and over two million in just one year. Cancellation of the Keystone Pipeline and all exploration and drilling of our own oil and natural gas. We are now dependent on foreign energy, resulting in a national security crisis. Anyone who disagrees with the Democrat Party leadership and their programs and policies are labeled “domestic terrorists” by President Biden and the US Justice Department.
