Testimony before the House Judiciary Committee on HB1675 (caring for newborns)

April 30, 2026January 31, 2020 Phyllis Woods

This was my testimony before the House Judiciary Committee on HB1675, just one of the four abortion bills they held hearings on this week. I wanted to speak to this specifically because I had won a hard-fought battle to pass a Born Alive Infants Protection Act when I was in the House. It was unclear … Read more

The Appeal of Socialism to Millennials’

January 27, 2020January 26, 2020 Op-Ed

Socialism is once again singing its sirens song to the disaffected in this case largely millennial population in the united states. Unfortunately, we did it to ourselves “we have met the enemy and he is us.”

I Miss The Old Jennifer Horn

December 30, 2019December 30, 2019 Op-Ed

I miss the old Jennifer Horn. When you were just starting out in politics in New Hampshire. You were reasonable and you had real Republican ideals. It is very disappointing to see such a decline from those principles over the years.

Carbon Taxes Abandon GOP Principles

August 29, 2025December 18, 2019 Op-Ed

Earlier this week, The Hill published an article saying that College Republicans across the country were backing a group called Young Conservatives for Carbon Dividends. Here in New Hampshire, College Republicans have been speaking up against this group, because we know that Carbon Dividends are bad for the party, bad for New Hampshire, and bad … Read more

Why I’m Not A Socialist

August 29, 2025November 19, 2019 Op-Ed

Recently, Senator Jeanne Dietsch wrote an article about how she isn’t a libertarian (her voting record already let us know that). Her first thought is that libertarian is bad because it was responsible for slavery. I think we need to back up and explain to Senator Dietsch what a traditional libertarian might mean. Foremost, it … Read more

Let’s Bring Common Sense to Penacook and Concord

August 29, 2025September 27, 2019 Op-Ed

Penacook has been overlooked, and as a Marine and a father with a child in the school system, I hope to change that. I have heard that many residents would like a grocery store. One of my top priorities is to streamline the process to help ensure this happens. We can’t allow another good deal … Read more

In the Beginning J.P Morgan Created the Fed

March 1, 2026September 15, 2019 Russ Payne

In the beginning J.P Morgan created the Fed … well kind of. In November 1910, at the behest of financier J. P. Morgan, a hand-picked group met. They were bankers and politicians. At a hunting camp on Jekyll Island, Georgia they met. There were six men: Nelson Aldrich, A. Piatt Andrew, Henry Davison, Arthur Shelton, … Read more

Margaret Drye – Dedicated to Our Community

June 17, 2023August 11, 2018 Op-Ed

For almost four decades, I have been responding to Plainfield and Cornish homes and roads as an EMT with Cornish Rescue. As a result, I have seen the opioid epidemic up close, and I have also seen the many medical, physical, and financial challenges our senior citizens face.

Spec Bowers – Silly Editorial About O’Brien

August 29, 2025April 8, 2012 Spec Bowers

The Concord Monitor’s April 5 editorial about House Speaker Bill O’Brien is one of the sillier ones of the last year and a half. It reminds me of the old legal adage, “When the facts are on your side, pound the facts. When the law is on your side, pound the law. When neither is … Read more

On The Election of Reince Priebus as RNC Chair

April 30, 2026January 16, 2011 Phyllis Woods

I am delighted with the Republican National Committee’s selection of Reince Priebus as Chairman. Reince is a strong pro-life conservative who has demonstrated his ability to lead our party in many ways. As Chairman of the Wisconsin GOP, Reince led his State Party to success in 2010 as they flipped control of Governor, US Senator, … Read more
