So when’s the last time you saw this headline about a Republican town meeting?

April 26, 2019 Skip

It’s from a bit ago but I figured that I’d throw that out there. “…meet to catalyze action“. Is this a case of “The Media” or a demonstration of the right activities (re: second to last paragraph). Setting goals, organizing, planning actions to reach those goals for the next election START NOW. Not in a … Read more

So, what did we learn in Thursday’s New Hampshire House Session?

March 2, 2019 Op-Ed

by Representative Judy Aron So, what did we learn in Thursday’s House Session?

Ann Kuster is Selling Herself as Bi-Partisan? Not Even Close!

October 17, 2018 Op-Ed

After Action Report: ‘Grok MeetUp at the Londonderry Fish and Game Club yesterday

September 23, 2018 Skip

“…and the whole screen goes blue…the tannerite was so hot it shifted the colors..everything else was that cool in comparison…”

Well, the skies were clear, a nip of autumn was in the air (but still short sleeve weather for most), the smell of hot dogs (DANG – I forgot to bring my chili!) and hamburgers was in the air. And the firing of guns – including some sub-machine guns and a couple of belt-fed .30 (and was one a .50?) kept the background atmosphere perfect for talks about politics. Lots of subjects but especially that of the recent Primary election results and talk of what might happen in the General Election. Especially since Republican candidate for US Congress in the Second District Steve Negron and family showed up. In all, about 15 – 20 folks showed up in total – I was a bit disappointed hoping that the LFGC gun ranges might have enticed a few more folks but hey, that’s how it goes!

Oh, that image above? From commenter Allen’s SEEK IR camera attachment? The video of me

“What you just heard is that Chris Pappas doesn’t believe in a ‘Medicare For All’ single-payer healthcare system,” Sanders said. “So I want to ask Chris and all the other people who don’t believe in it: How do you plan to deal with the issues of co-payments, deductibles and premiums?”

“I talk to people all over the district and they tell me they have stomach aches and anxiety disorders from worrying about what’s happening with their healthcare,” Sanders said. “We need a health care system that is free for every man, woman and child. That means no co-payments, no deductibles and no premiums.”

Which translates to “no self-responsibility”. In essence, a complete reversal of the American ideal of
