Dicknh User Information Your Hometown Gilmanton History DickNH User information Your hometown Gilmanton History Member for 3 years 35 weeks Most recent comments by DickNH Special Interest? By DickNH - 03/06/2012 - 10:21 am How about protecting the "special interest" of the American people to not have their elections bought and paid for by corporate interests? You might want to include in your warrant article a ban on special interest groups like ALEC, funded by the Koch Brothers, writing legislation for NH Tea Party lawmakers that they blindly submit without even thinking through the long-term ramifications? Or would your warrant Log in to vote article only target those "special interests" with whom you disagree? 0 view in original post Nonsense By DickNH - 03/06/2012 - 10:17 am No, Van, it was NOT a great letter. Rather, it was filled with the same nonsense and plain misstatement of fact that we so often see here by opponents of the President. Log in Mr. Obama has no more influence over the price of a commodity in international to vote trade than any other world leader does. The fact is that domestic production is UP. 12 Drilling is UP. But, because oil is traded on a world market, and there is NO mechanism to keep domestically produced oil from being sold on the international market, those facts do not matter to the price of oil. The same is true of the XL pipeline. That crude would be piped to Texas, where it would be sold on the international market to the highest bidder. Accessing that oil would not affect prices of American gasoline one iota, and anyone who understands the international nature of the oil industry knows that. Sorry, folks, but our oil has been underpriced for decades, due to the $4 billion in subsidies that the US gives to big oil each year. $4 BILLION. Do you know how loudly you would complain about wasteful government spending if that same subsidy was given to alternative fuels? Van, sail, and Mr. Ewing would be calling for Mr. Obama's impeachment! view in original post Agreed!!! By DickNH - 03/06/2012 - 9:40 am SB2 is a solution in search of a problem. The statistics are quite clear that participation in SB2 deliberative sessions is no better than at town meeting. And, you have to wait a couple of weeks between the deliberative session and the voting. Key points tend to be forgotten, Log in and then voting falls off. This is just a way for a small group of voters to hijack the process to to get their own way when they can't get it at town meeting. I urge all Gilmanton residents to vote preserve our town meeting and school district meetings. They are very well attended, and the 0 discussions are intelligent, respectful and sometimes animated and amusing, but always informative. We don't need SB2 in Gilmanton! view in original post I agree, Michael By DickNH - 03/06/2012 - 9:34 am I would add to the list of stupidity and childishness a large dose of churlishness. It's sadly amusing to see O'Brien actually defending the appallingly stupid and violent actions of his Log Republican representatives, especially on such a completely idiotic issue. But, go ahead, in Republicans, wage your culture wars all you want. Then the vast majority of NH citizens to will see you for what you really are, and happily send you packing in November. Pathetic vote doesn't even begin to describe supposed adults in positions of authority who act this way. 13 Rush Limbaugh has a lot of company in NH. view in original post Just remember.... By DickNH - 03/02/2012 - 2:23 pm Log in The old, but true statement: to vote First they came for the communists, 1 and I didn't speak out because I wasn't a communist. Then they came for the trade unionists, and I didn't speak out because I wasn't a trade unionist. Then they came for the Jews, and I didn't speak out because I wasn't a Jew. Then they came for me and there was no one left to speak out for me. Just because a few fools who happened to be Muslim participated in a terrorist attack does not give any branch of government the right to spy on anyone else just because they are of the same religion or nationality. That is prohibited by the Constitution's ban on unreasonable searches and seizures and due process protections. Also remember Ben Franklin's statement: "Those who would give up liberty for security deserve neither." You obviously fit nicely into both these statements. Most of the rest of us want our constitutional rights protected against this sort of government interference. view in original post Proof? By DickNH - 03/02/2012 - 9:33 am Since Senator Obama could not accept such a huge donation from an individual, and since there are no other records of any sort proving such a contribution, other than the word of a Log "business partner" of a convicted felon, perhaps you'd like to provide a WHOLE lot more in solid proof of that accusation? And, oh, by the way, that figure pales in comparison to the to sums being contributed to the Republican corporate super pacs trying to buy the White vote House for the spinning top named Willard Romney or the corporate Super Christian known 0 as Rick Santorum. view in original post Leftists? By DickNH - 03/02/2012 - 9:17 am So, the 99% of American women, and 98% of Catholic women who have used birth control in the past 50 years, and who have been very used to having their health insurer pay a part of Log in the cost of that care (which, by the way, SIGNIFICANTLY reduces the need for abortions) to are all leftists? If that's the case, then we're doing way better than I thought we were. I hope vote this issue remains in the public eye, because it will cause devastating migrations of female 2 voters away from the Republican party in 2012. view in original post Log Not This Year in By DickNH - 03/01/2012 - 3:21 pm to vote Sorry, Josh, but the poll numbers resulting from the constant stream of nonsense coming 3 from the circus clowns that are the Republican candidates are all quickly heading in President Obama's favor. He now holds a 10 point lead over Romney, and a 15 point lead over Santorum. That does not appear likely to change anytime soon. view in original post Usual Misstatements By DickNH - 03/01/2012 - 1:57 pm More of the usual about the fantasy "war on religion". The only war on religion is being waged by supposed "terrorism experts" against innocent Muslims in this country and abroad. How fascinating that those who supposedly support the Constitution have stayed completely silent on the recent, well-documented NYPD spying on Muslim mosques and Muslim Log in student groups at colleges and universities in and around NYC. Can you imagine the to conservative uproar that these same silent folks would raise if, instead of Muslim mosques vote and student groups, the NYPD had targeted Christian groups? As for this article, thankfully 3 cooler heads prevailed in the Senate and this assault on women's health has been sent to the dustbin of history. I hope women voters will remember every single Senator who voted to deny them legitimate health care coverage at the whim of their employers. view in original post Liar,liar By DickNH - 03/01/2012 - 9:57 am Log Talk about a guy who can't even get his own opinions straight....."I'm against this, but my in pollster says that the far right wing of the party that I'm trying to get to vote for me is for it, to so I have to be for it". Way to show a real jellyfish spine there, Willard! vote 3 view in original post L Vacations o By DickNH - 02/29/2012 - 2:14 pm g Not nearly as many as George W. Bush took every year during his "tenure". You can pick on i this all you want, Van, but Obama has taken far fewer vacations than any recent president going n back to Richard Nixon. The point here is that, despite some of the posts here, the President's t approval ratings soar each time these clowns in the Republican primaries open their collective o mouths. His percentages against each of them are now at least 10 points, and his percentage is over 50% when compared to each and every Republican candidate. Those numbers have been v rising steadily for months as the economy has steadily improved under the President's o t leadership, and the Republican candidates have shown themselves completely incapable of e putting together anything even vaguely resembling an economic recovery plan that would do more than the President's to improve the economy. So, go ahead, pick on an issue other than the 9 economy and Santorum's rantings about his proposed theocracy and Mitt's collective amnesia about his past and his rich friends. It's all making for hilarious theater! view in original post Soon! By DickNH - 02/24/2012 - 9:46 am I can't believe what I read in this post. I saw the same interview, and found Santorum to be the same fundamentalist Christian theocrat that he's always been. Just what we need: someone like him injecting his far right-wing religious philosophy into the everyday decisions made in the White House.

  • The United States House of Representatives
    THE UNITED STATES HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES “Tough but doable” was the way Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee Executive Director Howard Wolfson described the Democrats' chances of taking back the House of Representative last Friday. Wolfson had a rough week. Charlie Cook, the respected non-partisan political analyst who is listened to by political reporters, and maybe more importantly, by political PACs, wrote that the math just didn’t seem to be there for the Democrats to pick up the net of six seats they’d need to regain control of the House. During the spring and summer, Cook believed that the Democrats could overcome "the math” with their strength on domestic issues. But, despite a slight edge (48% Democrat- 46% Republican) in the “generic ballot question" (“If the election were held today for Congress, for whom would you vote?”) Democrats haven’t put the issues together in a way to produce the tide it would take to move enough races to produce a Democratic House. Last summer, not only Cook, but top Democrats believed that the Enron, WorldCom and Arthur Anderson scandals, along with the plummeting stock market, had created a climate that could sweep the Democrats back. At one point they even fantasized that all 40 or so competitive races could break their way. But, by August, guns had replaced butter as the overarching national political theme, and the Democrats lost that “mo.” A driving force behind the vote on the Iraq resolution was burning desire by the Democratic leadership to get the focus back on the economy. Indeed, the day after the vote, House Democratic Leader Dick Gephardt and Senate Majority Leader Tom Daschle held a high profile economic forum as a signal that the economy was the main concern of Democrats.

Washington, D.C. 20463 Re: Advisory Opinion Request Dear Mr. Herman: Pursuant to 2 U.S.C. §437f(a)(l) and 11 C.F.R. § 112.1, the Lantos Foundation for Human Rights and Justice ("the Lantos Foundation") seeks an advisory opinion. The Lantos Foundation seeks confirmation that under the Federal Election Campaign Act of 1971, as amended, and its implementing regulations, the Lantos for Congress Committee ('the Committee") may, subject to the limitations set out below, donate the balance of its funds to the Lantos Foundation. Background Origins of the Lantos Foundation Prior to his death in early 2008, Congressman Tom Lantos was the Chair of the House Foreign Affairs Committee. Congressman Lantos was a co-founder of the Congressional Human Rights Caucus, which in 2008 was renamed the Tom Lantos Human Rights Commission. During the twenty-seven years when he served in the House of Representatives, Congressman Lantos was the leading congressional proponent of intemational human rights. In the spring of2008, the Lantos Foundation was established by members of Congressman Lantos' family, in concert with his fiiends and supporters, including individuals who had earlier worked for either the campaign Committee or Congressman Lantos' congressional office. The purpose of the Lantos Foundation is to continue the human rights activities that were the Congressman's life work, "to strengthen the role of human rights and justice in U.S. foreign policy and to encourage a stronger role for human rights and justice in all aspects of intemational relations."
