Dear Swift Schools,

I am writing with regard to the video you have posted on youtube with regard to ‘Axel.’  You will note below, a copy of a complaint that I have filed with the Office of Civil Rights.

The clip that you used on your website, which, is located at the link below and, 2 minutes and 14 seconds in length, does not show the entire ‘Axel’ film.   I have filed a complaint alleging Fraud with regard to administrators at Somersworth (SAU 56), Jeni Mosca & Pam MacDonald and University of New Hampshire Institute on Disability Staff, Dan Habib & Michael McSheehan.

Yesterday the New Hampshire House Finance Committee held a public hearing on Senate Bill 30 (SB 30). The bill is “AN ACT relative to the establishment of redevelopment districts in unincorporated places.” It also changes the amount of the bonds the state can guarantee from $25,000,000 to $28,000,000 (the exact amount “needed” for the Balsams project to move forward) among other things.

What most people are calling this bill is “The Balsams Bill” or the “Balsams Bailout Bill.” Why? Because this bill never came up until the developer of the Balsams, Les Otten, informed the locals that he would need $28 million in order to move forward with his Balsams project.

Yesterday there was a letter to the editor in the Concord Monitor asking voters in Rockingham’s 32nd district to vote for Democrat Maureen Mann because she helped get a traffic light installed. Seriously. The author of the letter claims to be a Republican but votes for Mann when she runs because she “can do the work that needs to get done regardless of party.”

There is a special election coming up on May 19th for the New Hampshire House in the towns of Nottingham, Northwood, Deerfield and Candia. These towns combined make up Rockingham’s 32nd district which was previously won by a Republican who had to step down for employment reasons. Two candidates are running for the spot – Maureen Mann as the Democrat and newcomer Yvonne Dean-Bailey as the Republican.

Dear Mr. President

I am presenting this open letter as one of the serious opponents of the Islamic republic of Iran on behalf of the like-minded opposition groups and myself. Because of my knowledge of this regime, especially of Ali Khamenei who is my uncle (my mother’s brother), I see it as my duty to inform you about this regime and the issue of nuclear negotiations with the Islamic regime of Iran.

Guest post by Kristin Noble of Bedford, NH.

When she walked in, you could feel the energy in the house change.  Then suddenly, this angelic presence stood before me with her hand out, saying, “Hi, I’m Kelley Paul”.  It took no more than that to realize how truly warm and friendly she is.

She moved about the room, taking pictures with everyone who wanted.  As we stood in the kitchen, chatting among friends, I noticed how easily and comfortably she fit in with us strangers and how approachable she was.  It just seemed natural to call her “Kelley”, because she felt like a fast friend.

“Mrs. Paul”?  That’s her mother-in-law, Carol.

We moved to the living room, where she said a few words about her new book, True and Constant Friends.  You could hear a pin drop when she told the story

Despite knowing of the “Progressive” (actually socialist) domination in most American Colleges and Universities, I was shocked at the absolute fantasy worldview presented in Brandeis University Professor Kuttner’s article (as described in Tom Dawson’s letter of 4/8/15 in the Laconia Daily Sun, laconiadailysun.com).  Parents who pay for their children to be “educated” by such professors are being cheated, as are their children.

Aside from factual errors such as “higher education was free” in the 1950-60s and other false Democrat Party talking points, Kuttner’s article is simply a partisan attack against Republicans and promotion of socialist ideas which have never improved the lives of most people.  In fact, Socialist governments created poverty and suffering for billions of people, and murdered at least 100 million people.

Six years of President Obama’s policies interfering in our economy in ways that Kuttner approves have created a stagnant economy which is disastrous for most Americans.  Median incomes are down about 4% while taxes and the cost of living increased, middle class wealth is down by about 40%, a lower percent of our people are actually working, and more Americans live in poverty and need government assistance to survive.  But, Obama’s policies have done very well for rich people.

For all my life “Progressive” policies have made the rich richer but most Americans poorer.  Politicians who really cared about non-rich Americans would abandon “Progressive” policies.

I was amused by June M. Huot’s letter of April 14, 2015 in the Laconia Daily Sun (laconiadailysun.com) requesting information about the TEA Party and making so many false assertions.

First, each TEA Partier speaks for him/herself or perhaps their local group, no one person or group speak for “The TEA Party” which is a movement of millions of Americans in thousands of individual groups.

We believe that our Federal Government today is bought (with political support) by special interest groups which have no concern for most Americans, or for the security and prosperity of our nation.

We believe that today’s bought government is responsible for most of our nation’s and our citizens’ problems and that returning to government that works for all Americans requires adherence to certain principles including the rule of law, personal responsibility, fiscal responsibility, and small, Constitutionally limited government.
