2016
The race for New Hampshire's U.S. Senate seat was one of nine competitive battleground races in 2016. Incumbent Kelly Ayotte (R) conceded defeat to challenger Maggie Hassan (D) on November 9, 2016. They were separated by less than 800 votes.[2][3]
After conceding, Ayotte said in a statement, “It has been a tremendous privilege to serve New Hampshire in the Senate and to make progress on addressing our heroin epidemic, making it easier for our small businesses to create good paying jobs, and supporting those who keep us safe in a dangerous world. This is a critical time for New Hampshire and our country, and now more than ever, we need to work together to address our challenges. The voters have spoken and now it’s time all of us to come together to get things done for the people of the Greatest State in this Nation and for the Greatest Country on Earth.”[4]
In her victory speech, Hassan said, "We know that this election exposed very serious divisions in our country, and it's up to all of us -- elected leaders and citizens -- now to come together and focus on our common challenges and our common opportunities. Our work going forward is going to be to remember what unites us as Americans and how we can make progress together."[5]
Hassan also defeated Libertarian candidate Brian Chabot.
During the campaign, Hassan attempted to tie Ayotte to Republican President-elect Donald Trump, who lost the state to Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton. Hassan's campaign manager, Marc Goldberg, said, "Trump helps. He unequivocally helps. [Ayotte] has this weight around her leg in Trump that she's dragging around."[6]
Ayotte’s strategy was to distance herself from the top of the ticket and run a local campaign focused on issues that impacted New Hampshirites. Although she initially said that she would vote for Trump, on October 8, 2016, Ayotte withdrew her support for Trump after The Washington Post released a 2005 video of Trump making comments about women that were described as "extremely lewd." She added that she would cast her vote for Vice President-elect Mike Pence. Ayotte also chose to skip the Republican National Convention, preferring to attend campaign events across her state. She frequently spoke about her role in passing a bipartisan bill in the Senate that would help New Hampshire address its opioid abuse crisis and about her national security credentials.[7][8][9][10]
Ayotte and Hassan both tried to define themselves as independent candidates who would stand up to members of their parties and special interest groups, in order to gain the support of independent voters in the state. Their task was difficult as outside groups tried to define these candidates by pouring nearly $91 million into the race. The candidates themselves had spent a combined total of $30.5 million, according to The Center for Responsive Politics.[11][12][13][14]

The only way to know where you are going is to know where you have been. Gerard Beloin was born and raised on a dairy farm in the Great North Woods of Northern, NH. He is one of 13 children. He learned the value of hard work starting in the 1st grade with chores at 6:00am, 6:00pm and hard work in between his days at school. He attended Our Lady of Grace Academy up to the 9th grade and graduated at 17 years old from Colebrook Academy in 1973. After a year of working on the family farm he applied and was accepted to Keene State College. He graduated with a degree in Zoology. Pre med. He decided medical school was not for him and went to work in NYC as a limousine driver. The city was not for him and he soon found himself back in the great north woods again cutting timber and working part time as a ski instructor at the Balsams Grand Resort where he met his wife Linda Curley. In 1982 he started his own roofing business and soon started designing his own High Performance Roofing Systems. His first roofing system installed in 1984 is still performing well. His High Performance Roofing Systems now dot the states of NH, Vermont, Maine and Massachusetts. In 1992 he married Linda and moved to New Boston, NH where his daughter Emilie was born. In the late 1990s he steered his roofing business towards public construction projects. He became politically active and started a taxpayer watchdog group called the Goffstown, New Boston Taxpayers when he uncovered bid rigging activities that swindled NH Education funding dollars on a grand scale. The scam was identical to “The Scam” uncovered by the State of NJ Commission of Investigation. Public officials, Republicans and Democrats, looked the other way while contractors bypassed the building codes, structural codes and safety codes on school construction projects and then charged the taxpayers as much as 100 times the going rate. Billions were being grifted from the taxpayers education funding dollars in little NH. In California, it was nearly 1 billion per year. Billions are still being grifted today. Because of his activism against political corruption, some prominent politicians lost elections by very slim margins. One of those prominent politicians was Goffstown Prosecutor and now a judge, Kerry "The Killer" Steckowych. Killer really IS his mob name. His attorney and political adviser is Attorney William Shaheen, US Senator Jeanne Shaheen's husband and Hillary Clinton's Campaign Manager. After loosing the race for Hillsborough County Attorney by 4 votes, where he was heavily favored to win, he sent his “personal messengers” to let him know exactly what was going to happen to him if he did not stop exercising his 1st Amendment rights. One of those messengers is a wealthy Republican named John "The Brain" Janigan. When Gerard recorded the threats and brought the recordings to Attorney General Kelly Ayotte, she and her fellow prosecutors charged Mr. Beloin with wiretapping. All charges were eventually “dismissed with prejudice.” However, none of the“politicians” on the tapes threatening Mr. Beloin were ever investigated or prosecuted for the crimes they admitted to under oath. So the threats continued and they continue to this day. It is why he's running for the US Congress because we should all "Do The Right Thing". [18] |

Trust Words come easy. It is deeds that expose the window to the soul. In order to accurately evaluate a candidates positions and character, you need to research their actions not their words. My actions speak for themselves. The actions undertaken by me and my fellow taxpayer watchdog organizations across the country exposing the grifting of Billions in education funding money are being written about in newspapers and blogs all over the country. If you do a Duck Duck Go search of my name you will get 20 pages of articles or references to my actions. There is no guess work about where I stand. My actions are consistent with my words. I am an unabashed supporter of our 1st Amendment rights. I’m willing to stand up to all those who seek to infringe upon them at great personal cost. The 1st Amendment is not first by chance. Our founding fathers knew that without freedom of speech all of our other freedoms would wither away. The recent scandal at the IRS targeting conservative groups to infringe upon their 1st Amendment rights is part of the same problem I have encountered here in NH. Senator Shaheen actually wrote a letter encouraging the IRS to investigate and intimidate conservative organizations. It's time for a change. Princess Hassan needs to answer the questions about what she knows about these heinous recordings covered up by her as NH Governor and now as US Senator.
"There are two ways to conquer and enslave a nation. One is by the sword, the other is by debt." ~ John Adams. In order to get the deficit under control the Federal Government needs to start spending like a drunken sailor. Why? Because when a drunken sailor runs out of money, he stops spending! The next morning he regrets his reckless spending ways and he doesn’t start spending again until he gets more money. The spending habits of our politicians in the DC Swamp are worse than those of a drunken sailor. Over the last 30 years, they spent our tax dollars recklessly on amoral spending sprees until they ran out of cash. Without taking time to sober up, they whipped out the taxpayers credit card and maxed it out. That still did not stop them. Over the past 30 years they have repeatedly voted to raise the debt limit on the credit card and charge it to the children and grandchildren of the cash strapped taxpayers who have not even started working yet. Our children born today come into this world $91,000 in debt. It’s now at $30 trillion and rising with no end in sight. There is no conscience in our elected officials. Republicans or Democrats. The problem is partly our fault because we voted them into office. Fortunately, we can vote them out and send representatives to Washington that will tackle this elephant in the room no one acknowledges exists that is threatening the future of this country. Ronald Reagan said it best: “The problem is not that people are taxed too little, the problem is that government spends too much.” The taxes are out of control because the spending is out of control. When we get the spending under control, the taxes will go down, businesses will boom and tax revenues will go up.
Protect our Military and those who have chosen to serve! This article talks about one of the measures taken, but we need to be sure to secure all of those promises made to our service members including healthcare, retirement, and services. It is the job of the people to stand behind our military and vote for government officials who will uphold the promises of the past and protect the future of our military. Watching out for individuals who have served in the US Military is a first step to a path of becoming a legal US Citizen. These brave individuals have laid down their lives to protect our great nation and it is our duty to support and protect them when they return home. While securing the borders is one step in repairing the immigration issues, we need to ensure that those who follow the correct procedures by "Doing the right thing" in working to become a citizen, get treated fairly. Military personnel willing to give all to preserve our freedoms are the perfect examples. The recent enactment of "Veterans Choice" program is a huge step in the right direction. No more long waiting lines to get care at a VA facility. No more waiting so long for appointments that the Veteran dies while awaiting live saving treatment. Thank you President Trump for getting done what I have been advocating for for over 20 years.
Maggie Hassan has repeatedly voted to increase deficit spending with no concern for the exploding debt. Obama Care is one of the most prominent programs contributing to the national debt. I am against Obama Care. I believe that it is an excessive government intrusion where it does not belong. Even if I thought it was a good program, I would vote against it until we balanced the budget. Why is it that 535 elected officials in Washington DC, with nearly unlimited resources, can't seem to do what everyone of us with limited resources are able to do each month at our kitchen table. Balance our checkbooks. The health care bill needs to be repealed and replaced with Medical Saving Accounts. That will be a huge step in the right direction of eliminating deficit spending and eliminating out exploding national debt. We need to keep cutting from there. The progressives promises of lower insurance costs for everyone has turned out to not be true. It is just too big and too costly. The poisonous individual mandate has been repealed. That is one huge step in the right direction. The next step it to get the government out of health insurance altogether.
Recently, the IRS has purchased dozens of short barreled 12 gauge shotguns with high capacity clips. These are the same shot guns used in the war zone for close quarter combat. What are they planning? This is the same IRS tasked with enforcing the Obama UN-affordable Health Care Act. I believe that a national retail sales tax is the best solution to our current tax code monstrosity. I find a national retail sales tax would be very simple to enact because all states already have a tax collection mechanism in place. No more IRS! No more filing income taxes! No more manipulation of the existing tax code by special interests. Businesses would simply tack on the national retail sales tax and transfer the collected taxes to the State and the State would then send a monthly check to Washington DC. That is the way it used to be in the 1800s during the industrial revolution. It can be that way again with the same results. When the obstacle of the huge national debt gets in the way, moving backwards is the best and fastest way to get ahead.
GREAT IDEA! Do we need taxation? What would you say if the answer to that question was no? Taxation simply is a revenue source for government. Government currently manages massive pension funds designed to generate profits and from the return, pay out billions for retirement benefits. Just Google "State Retirement Funds" and every state in the union has one. Any City; County; School District; or State can be funded using the same principle of revenue generation. Instead of a fund set up as a pension fund, a fund can be established with the purpose of generating the revenue required to meet that local government's operating budget. A fund entitled: Tax Retirement Fund (TRF) designed with the purpose to meet all budgetary requirements can and will greatly reduce taxation and could eventually eliminate it. Is this possible? Yes! It's already happening. A working model to do it is already in place. The management teams to make the Tax Retirement Fund happen are in place today. Managers with proven track records who are already managing the combined multi trillion dollar State, Local, and Federal Retirement Pension Funds can now also do the same for the TRFs. It can be done. Since the burden of taxation will be greatly reduced and in some cases eliminated, the US economy will become much more competitive with the world wide economy. In the past, government pension funds drove the economy as they grew, now, TRF funds set up for the well overdue purpose of eliminating taxation, will create "an economic rising tide that will lift all boats". Since the performance of the TRFs will be directly tied to the economy, the incentive for frugal and effective management of the funds will replace the tax the rich and spend all of "their" money attitude currently being espoused by our current politicians. President John F. Kennedy said: “No American is ever made better off by pulling a fellow American down, and every American is made better off whenever any one of us is made better off. A rising tide raises all boats.” This will drive the creation of wealth for every person on the planet. Economic unrest will be reduced and so will the desire to go to war with your neighbors. The government through the management of their own trillion dollar collective pension funds have proven that the TRF will work. It is just a matter of administrative application to implement the model designed to "retire all taxation." The investment model of government pension funds has driven the economy for the last seventy years by investment as billions were generated in return. TRFs established with the applied purpose of generating revenue for meeting local government's operating budgets, can and will fulfill the purpose of greatly reducing and in some cases eliminating taxation, as the investment capital of the funds drive the economy. Taxation will no longer be needed as a revenue source or be greatly reduced. You can make it happen in your town, then county, and state? Everything is in place to make this happen. It can happen. So let's make it happen! It's time for a real change.. and a real candidate elected that will effect that change. We have built up the wealth within government. It is time to administratively modify government so that for our future generations taxation will become a word of the past and the wealth of the government will be derived from the strength of the economy. Pass the word! We can make this happen!
There is a right way and a wrong way for everything! What we need is clear and reasonable requirements that provide direction for becoming US citizens. We also need to ensure that those who are following the rules are not stepped on by those who choose not too. A country is defined by it’s borders. We currently do not have a well defined southern border. The illegal immigrants and drug smugglers are taking advantage of it. The part that is the most worrisome are the OTMs. (Other Than Mexicans) With a war on terror in progress it is unconscionable to allow the open border policy to continue. Who knows what is being sneaked across the border. The wall must be built. There is an old joke that asks, “How do you sneak a nuclear bomb into the US? Just hide it inside a bail of marijuana!” Both the Republicans and the Democrats are at fault here. The Republicans want the illegal immigrants cheap labor and the Democrats want their votes. They are also sapping the welfare system with their anchor babies The law that grants automatic US citizenship to children of illegal aliens born on US soil is anachronistic and needs to be changed. It allows the illegal aliens to game the American welfare system to their advantage at a cost of billions of dollars per year to the taxpayer. It is now being used as a tool to subvert the rule and intent of the law. As it stands now, a terrorist could legally gain access to this country by fathering an anchor baby and use his his child's generous welfare benefits to avoid having to work for a living. He could then devote all of his time planning ways to harm Americans. The unintended consequences of that law were overlooked in the past because they were benign. That is no longer the case. The Boston Marathon bombers did exactly that. My father died in 2010 at 91 years old. He never mastered the English language. He came to this country legally with money in the bank. My mother said she married him for his money. In 1942, just a few years out of the great depression, he had $1,500 cash in the bank. He purchased hundreds of acres of fallow farm land and worked it back into production. He started a small business that created jobs. Jobs that are still in existence today. He never asked for one cent of assistance from the government. That is the type of immigrant that makes this country stronger. Today, millions of illegal immigrants crash across the border, drop anchor babies that then qualify for a plethora of government welfare programs. When the State of Arizona stepped in to fill the void left by the lax US border patrol, the Obama administration sued them to cease and desist. President Trump then took it to a new level with the much needed border wall. Now President Biden has destroyed all of President Trumps accomplishments on the border. The false claim by American businesses that immigrants are needed to fill the jobs that Americans won't do is the same line used prior to the civil war when the wealthy business owners said that ending slavery would devastate the American economy. Americans are very willing to do the backbreaking work of picking crops. They just refuse to work at the slave labor rates that these illegal immigrants work for. This depresses wages for all Americans across the board. In the early 1980s I worked as a lumberjack in northern NH. It was dangerous backbreaking work but I made at least $100 per day, ($300 in today's dollars) sometimes twice that. If the woods jobbers had paid me $50.00 per day, I would have quit. There are approximately 14 million illegal immigrants in the US today and approximately 14 million unemployed Americans. The illegal aliens do not qualify for unemployment benefits. How are they making a living?? They are taking the jobs from the American workers who are currently drawing unemployment benefits. Americans will do the work, they just won't work for the slave labor rates currently being paid by American businesses. Make it illegal to hire illegal aliens and they will self deport. Make the path to US Citizenship clear and attainable so that we strengthen America with responsible individuals who will help build a stronger United States. When this is done, all wages will rise organically without the need for wage laws.
Any terrorist attack on any US citizen or interest must be dealt with severely and swiftly. In the 1980s, Muammar Gadaffi bragged about his terrorist attacks on US citizens at an Italian airport. Then President Ronald Reagan send a squadron of F-15 Tomcat fighters to take out his palace. Gadaffi got the message. No American lives were lost in the Libyan raid and Gadaffi was tamed. Afghanistan is a much more complicated situation because of the difficult terrain. But since when has America quit when things got tough. The original “shock and awe” by our intrepid military during the Bush administration was down graded to “awe shucks” by President Obama and an embarrassing withdrawal that left hundreds of billions of dollars of sophisticated weaponry in the hands o f the Taliban terrorist organization. As it stands now, we spent 20 years and trillions of dollars in Afghanistan to replace the Taliban with the Taliban. If another terrorist country like Afghanistan attacks us again, we need to send an overwhelming force to subdue the population, weed out the bad guys, put the good guys in charge and then come home. This requires political will. We need to win it ASAP and get out ASAP. I believe that President Trump had that will. President Biden screwed it all up with his disastrous withdrawal.
The 2nd Amendment to the US Constitution is not second by chance. It was seen as crucial in protecting our 1st Amendment rights. The state and local governments have enacted a myriad of guns laws that restrict the use of firearms to the point that they become useless as a means of self defense and criminalizes there possession. For example, Vermont borders Massachusetts. Vermont has no gun laws of any kind and almost no crime. You can carry a firearm any way that is considered safe. NH has a constitutional carry law. Massachusetts has a plethora of gun laws that restrict their use, how to carry them and where you can take them. There are pages and pages of nonsensical anti gun legislation. Gun lock requirements that render a firearm useless for self defense. Massachusetts also has a much higher crime rate. When traveling from low crime Vermont and New Hampshire to high crime Massachusetts, a US citizen legally carrying a concealed firearm becomes an instant felon just by crossing the state border in the US of A. It makes no sense. It is the 2nd Amendment to the US Constitution that gives US citizens the right to bear arms and the states should not be allowed to infringe upon that right. A law abiding citizen with a permit to carry a concealed weapon from his own state should be allowed reciprocal rights for each of the 50 United States of America On June 28, 2010 the US Supreme Court Decision in the case of McDonald v City of Chicago has reaffirmed my position as being the most reasonable and legal interpretation of our 2nd Amendment rights. On June 23, 2022, the Supreme Court issued a landmark decision to protect our Second Amendment rights. If you’re anything like me, you were cheering and breathing a sigh of relief. This was a huge win for the 2A community. Justice Clarence Thomas wrote in his majority opinion, “The constitutional right to bear arms in public for self-defense is not a second-class right, subject to an entirely different body of rules than the other Bill of Rights guarantees.” Duh! It's about time. I'm guessing the the riots in the Summer of 2020 and the illegal demonstrations in front of the US Supreme Court Justices homes had an effect on the decision. I believe the lefts tactics are backfiring. Many in both parties want to slice and dice the US Constitution to fit the modern times by saying, "We have to keep the guns out of the hands of terrorists at all costs!!" How about putting the terrorists on a secret do not fly list and prevent them from coming here in the first place. It is not unprecedented. Jimmy Carter did it in the 1980s when the Iranians held American hostages and chanted "Death To America!!" He did the right thing. Why would you let anyone in this country from a country who's leaders chant "Death to America??" My solution is much more simple. Why don't we enforce border security and keep the terrorists out of the country. When Obama became president, hundreds of thousands of political refugees from countries infested with radical Muslim terrorists that vowed to do us harm were allowed to come to the US. Then, the gun grabbers pompously state that we need to disarm them. If they were not here, we would not have to disarm them or any other honest American citizen that happened to get caught up in that political drag net. Please take 5 minutes of your time to view this short video titled “Kelly Ayotte. What Was She Thinking??” That video shows that organized crime has a free pass to operate, unfettered by the law, in the Live Free Or Die State Of NH. It is a prime reason why the 2nd Amendment to the US Constitution must not be infringed upon.
I would like to see a school voucher program become the law of the land. Allow the parents to choose which school their children will attend and which teachers will teach their children. Bad teachers will disappear because the parents will have the decision making power to take their child to a different teacher. The average cost to educate a child in this country is approximately $11,000 per year. If a family has 5 school age children, that is $55,000 of buying power that the schools will be competing for. The current education monopoly will be broken. Everyone knows that monopolies deliver shoddy goods at higher prices. The education monopoly is no different. The Education Union lobbyists have so far been successful in thwarting the efforts of States that have voted in school choice with vouchers. This needs to be promoted and fast tracked into law. Why is it that the left says that it is imperative that a women has the right to choose whether to end the life of an unborn child or not but denies that women the right to choose where it’s other children will go to school? If $11,000 is the average cost per student, a class of 20 students would give a teacher $220,000 per year to work with. With that kind of money, a teacher could easily build a cozy, utilitarian one room school house for her class for around $70,000, buy all of the books she needs for another 3 to $4,000 per year, $3,000 per year for heat and maintenance and have enough money left over to give herself a $143,000 salary the first year! Much more is subsequent years. Where is all of the money currently being spent? It is being spent by school administrations, unions, waste, fraud and abuse. While politicians and educators nationwide are constantly asking for more Education Funding money, grifters are swindling it by the boatload. The politicians and educators battle cry for raising taxes is, "Let's do it for the children". The reality has been exposed. It's "Let's waste it, swindle it and then bill it to our children in the form of deficit spending." How about this for a novel approach. Let's cut the taxes and let the hard working families in this country use their money to educate their children as they see fit.
A society is ultimately judged by the way it protects it’s most defenseless, not it’s strongest. The strong need no protection. There is no person more vulnerable and in need of protection than an unborn child in it’s mothers womb. The State of California considers a fetus human. CALIFORNIA CODES 43.1. A child conceived, but not yet born, is deemed an existing person, so far as necessary for the child's interests in the event of the child's subsequent birth. The law now allows the State to charge a person with a double homicide when murdering a pregnant women. The law recognizes the fetus as a human being. Scott Peterson of California was charged with and convicted of a double homicide. The murder of his wife, Laci and his unborn son Conner. When the unborn child’s life is terminated outside the hospital or clinic it is murder. Inside the hospital or clinic, it is called a procedure. The recent reversal of Roe v Wade is a huge step in the right direction. This will help establish consistency to the right to life established in the US Constitution. The pro choice movement does not consider the voice of the unborn child to be important in choosing whether it lives or dies. I do. I believe that if the unborn child were given a voice it would choose life every time. Someone needs to speak for the unborn child. If elected to the US Senate I will do so with vigor and consistency.
I’m against Obamacare. Big government has no business running any business, especially health care. Even those who voted for Obamacare are irresponsible for voting for it while the Federal Government is trillions of dollars in debt. They are saddling our children and grandchildren with a mountain of debt that they will never be able to repay. There is currently no conscience in Washington DC and the Democrats are leading by example. A new crop of principled Republicans are needed to repeal this monstrosity of a health care bill before it destroys the best health care system in the world. In the 1990s MSAs (Medical Savings Accounts) were signed into law. They have so many restrictions that they have an insignificant impact on the health care industry. MSAs need to be expanded and all restrictions removed. This will make every American citizen the owner of their own insurance company. If the owner of the MSA remains healthy, like most Americans do, they can build upon it and pass the MSA onto their heirs. With time these millions of MSAs will turn into a cumulative hundreds of billions of dollars competing with the insurance industry and have a significant impact on how health care is delivered by expanding choice and reinvigorating competition in the insurance and medical industry. The insurance industry lobby is dead set against it. No surprise there. Who wants millions of self insured American citizens competing with the insurance and medical industry to drive down costs and increase the quality of health care? I do! I do!
Why does a nation of free people need permission from the State to form a union BETWEEN TWO CONSENTING ADULTS? Marriage licenses have not always been necessary. Their requirements have only been needed in recent human history. They were designed by social engineers to control who can and can't marry. The miscegenation laws were enacted by the State to prevent the undesirables identified by the State from marrying. I believe that the recent gay marriage controversy is an offshoot of these misguided laws. Gays and lesbians should never be discriminated against and should have the rights that all other American citizens have. I just don’t believe that they should have special rights. They have civil unions that cover all of the legal bases and they are free to celebrate their unions in any way that they please. If a church, like the Episcopalian church is willing to marry them, then the State has no business interfering. Likewise, if the church, like the Catholic church refuses to conduct gay marriages, the State should not force the Catholic church to do so. When all of our freedoms are protected, an amicable social balance will be reached without the States interference.
The US economy can be compared to a very productive farm with very fertile soil in the middle of a large sunny field that was cut out of a forest. There was much work put into clearing the forest to provide direct sunlight for the garden to grow. The Garden has been very productive for hundreds of years. During that time the hard working farmers concentrated on working the hot sunny fields of the productive garden and allowed the trees on the perimeter of the field to grow bigger and taller. The farmers liked the trees and sought comfort in their protective shade at the end of the hot sweaty days of working the sunny garden. The farmers looked forward to the day when they could cut the growing trees down for their lumber to build new homes for their growing families. Direct Sunlight = Freedom. As the trees got taller and taller they used up more and more of the direct sunlight needed to grow the vegetables and grains while providing more and more shade to the garden. The increasingly shaded garden, while less productive, was much more comfortable to work in. Over the years the trees steadily grew and the garden got fewer and fewer hours of direct sunlight while getting more and more hours of protective shade. Instead of getting 15 hours of direct sunlight per day, the garden was now getting 14, then 12, then 10 hours of direct sunlight. Because of the steady decrease in direct sunlight hours and the increase in shade, the garden became less and less productive but much more comfortable to work in. Some farmers clearly saw what the problem was and said it was time to harvest the lumber in the trees to get more direct sunlight on the garden. They wanted to use the lumber to heat their houses and build more homes for their growing families. However, some progressive farmers embraced the trees and refuse to cut them down. So the tree huggers solution was to work the garden harder and harder with more fertilizers and more advanced farming technology. Since this worked at first, it became accepted as being effective. But the trees kept getting taller and taller and the garden was now getting only 8 hours of direct sunlight per day, 7 hours of shade and 9 hours of darkness. Advanced farming methods with genetically engineered grains and vegetables were very helpful but even the most advanced farming methods will fail without direct sunlight on the garden. The garden is not keeping up with the demand for food. Some farmers are getting hungry. The solution to the problem was obvious and was being vigorously discussed among the farmers. The number of tree huggers and shade lovers were now equal to or greater in numbers than the farmers advocating for more direct sunlight for the garden. Times were getting desperate. The trees were using up most of the direct sunlight and the garden was faltering in the shade. The farmers were getting hungrier. Even the tree huggers realized that they couldn't eat the trees. Sentiment was now shifting towards cutting down the trees but the trees had gotten so big that the task was now monumental. Some hard core tree huggers started living in the huge trees to prevent the farmers from cutting them down. The lesson of this fable is that there is no substitute for freedom. Whenever and wherever it's been tried, any society that has traded freedom in exchange for cradle to the grave security, with Big Gov in charge, has ended up with neither. It's called communism and it has failed where ever it's been tried. I believe that in this election cycle, we are at this crossroad outlined in this fable. Most of us know instinctively what needs to be done but the comfort of the Big Gov programs are difficult to let go of. The voters of NH have a choice here today to vote for a bunch of Johnys Come Lately to the song of fiscal discipline who may or may not be sincere in there promises to cut taxes, cutting spending and root out the corruption in Washington DC. Or you can vote for me, the only candidate in this primary, Republican or Democrat, with a proven track record of successfully fighting for the taxpayers since 2004. I'm the only candidate with the actual success of thwarting the theft of billions, yes, that is billions of dollars of education funding money, stolen in a sophisticated bid rigging scheme exposed by me and my affiliate taxpayer watchdog groups across the country. A bid rigging scheme that is thriving here in NH by stealing tens of millions of education funding dollars from the state of NH education monopoly every year. My website lists the endorsement of two of these taxpayer watchdog groups with many more to come. In this election we will be choosing whether to allow the Big Gov programs to shade us from the hot sun or allow the hot sun to come in to burn us a little while we return to reaping a bountiful harvest? Most on the left believe that more Big Gov security is the road to prosperity with less work. I could not disagree more. This great country and it's economy was built on unfettered freedom, and only more, not less freedom will cure it's ills. The freedoms that we enjoy today in the United States of America are fragile and unique to the history of this planet. The proof of the fragility of this freedom is written in our history with blood. Americans have repeatedly fought and paid for this priceless freedom with the blood of our founding fathers in the Revolutionary War, our great grandfathers in the Civil War, our grandfathers in the 1st and 2nd World Wars, our fathers in the Korean and Vietnam Wars and today, by our brave brothers and sisters fighting and dying to preserve these freedoms in Iraq and Afghanistan. Freedom is not free. It has never been free and it never will be free. Freedom is a God given right that Americans have continually fought to preserve and protect against those who see freedom as an obstacle to an oppressive command and control society. While today, our brave brothers and sisters are fighting to plant the seed of freedom in the Iraqi and Afghanistan peoples so that freedom may grow and spread in the Middle East, our own government is trampling the US Constitution and taking our freedoms away at a pace that hasn't been seen since the early 1900s during the Progressive Wilson era. Our economy is suffering directly because of it. Big Gov is sapping most of our resources from the most productive segments of our society and redistributing them to the least productive with the predictable results. Our present day politicians now in control seem baffled with the results. I am not. When you reward hard work, frugality and productivity you get more of it. When you subsidize unemployment, irresponsibility, deficit spending and slothfulness, that is what you going to get. Today, in this great country or ours we are at a crossroad. If we vote to allow the direct sunlight of freedom to shine on us again, there is no limit to what this great country can produce. It is freedom and only unfettered freedom in combination with free market capitalism and low taxation that led to the prosperity and greatness that built this great country into what it is today, and nothing but a return to those freedoms will bring it back to it's original greatness.[18] |
