It's time to take a stand!

Okay, everybody. It's time to get our hearts pumping and blood circulating as we prime ourselves for what promises to be a "spirited" campaign season.

So, what's your issue? What issue will get you out of the house and into the streets, doing your part to agitate for change?

Are you, yourself, or do you know anyone who is among the 47 million (and counting) Americans who do not have access to health care?

Do you sometimes wonder what you would do with the money that we're sending to Iraq and Afghanistan?

Are you getting just a bit peeved at the commodities speculators who, according to experts even in The Wall Street Journal, are giving us $4+ a gallon gas, and higher food prices, and higher heating oil prices? Do you see a benefit in high heating oil costs--you get so steamed up that you don't need to use as much fuel?

Do you wish that we'd all start living a little more "green?" Or, are you confident that geoengineering will bail us out of the enviro-mess we're in?

Parents--how happy are you with the way our schools are teaching your youngsters?

Teachers--have your ability and flexibility to teach your subject been left behind?

Does Derry need Exit 4-A? Do you agree that "Pledge" is best as a furniture cleaner?

Keep those comments and counter comments coming! Election time is here!

Visit our campaign headquarters

Anybody who drives along Broadway in downtown Derry has had a chance to see that the Derry and Londonderry Town Committees, along with the New Hampshire State Committee, have set up coordinated campaign headquarters at 7 Broadway.

We invite everyone to stop in and talk with campaign staffers.

Right now, in late June, much of the attention is on the Gov. Jeanne Shaheen's campaign for the U.S. Senate--we simply must have, and New Hampshire deserves to have, a responsive voice in that body. As the calendar moves into the summer and various campaigns move into higher gear, visitors might well be able to meet with other national and state candidates, including Daphne Kenyon, an outstanding replacement for the outgoing Mr. Letourneau.

We want everyone to view our coordinated campaign headquarters as a community center, where people come to learn about the issues and the candidates, to inspire and energize each other, and to contribute ideas and insights, time and effort, to keeping responsible government in New Hampshire and returning responsible government to Washington.

McGovern Calls For Bush/Cheney Impeachment

In a recent Washington Post article, George McGovern called the impeachment of President George Bush and Vice President Dick Cheney.

What are your thoughts on George McGovern's points? Do you agree with his statement that "Bush and Cheney are clearly guilty of numerous impeachable offenses. They have repeatedly violated the Constitution. They have transgressed national and international law. They have lied to the American people time after time. Their conduct and their barbaric policies have reduced our beloved country to a historic low in the eyes of people around the world. These are truly 'high crimes and misdemeanors,' to use the constitutional standard. "
