  • The Koch's Criminal Justice Hypocrisy in New Hampshire
    CCWWTT::^^RRWW11aa^^ccWWTTaabb´´ 666AAA000===888CCC444 BBBCCC000CCC444 ???AAA>>>999444222CCC 77^^ffccWWTTAAPPSSXXRRPP[[00VVTT]]SSPP^^UU >dc^UBcPcT1XV>X[1X[[X^]PXaTb 77PPbb77ddaacc==TTff77PP\\__bbWWXXaaTT 1 Charles and David Koch pour hundreds of millions of dollars into our political system to advance their self-enriching agenda and elect their puppet candidates. At the state and national level, the Kochs use their unlimited resources to influence policy to suit their political and personal needs while hurting middle class and working families. The policies they favor include cutting taxes for corporations and the wealthy; reducing and eliminating regulations to protect workers, consumers, and the environment; privatizing and cutting both Social Security and Medicare; and cutting other programs, including Pell Grants for college. For decades, the Kochs and their network of dark money political front groups have been pushing the Koch agenda in New Hampshire — perhaps more than any other state in the country — which has benefitted billionaires like the Kochs at the expense of Granite Staters. In 2016, New Hampshire will continue to be on center stage in American politics with the First In The Nation primary, a top- tier Senate race, marquee Congressional contests, an open governor’s mansion, and a number of hot button issues in the limelight. At the same time, the Koch network has promised to spend nearly $900 million to buy elections for candidates who will do their bidding for them. The Kochs themselves admit they “expect something in return” for the millions they spend propping up their candidates, but for candidates, backing from the Kochs comes with a high price tag.

We thank You that You are with us as we work with one another, as we learn to appreciate perspectives that differ from our own, and to respect those who may oppose our views. We thank You that You have created us to live in community, to celebrate the things we accomplish together, and to support one another when we struggle with pain and loss. We remember today our friend and colleague Chip, and Gladys’ husband Mel, as You receive them into Your everlasting arms.

  • Government of Citizens, Not Money Americans Are United for the 28Th
    Government of Citizens, Not Money Americans Are United for the 28th Amendment Government of the People Secure Free and Fair Elections Fellow Americans- We offer this report, Government of Citizens, at a time of great danger and opportunity for our nation. America faces many challenges. We believe many of these arise from a root crisis of concentrated money and special interests controlling our political system. Big donors are well- represented; most Americans are not. As a result, American trust in our institutions -- and in each other -- is collapsing. Powerful interests profit from dividing voters and preventing practical solutions that will help hard- working Americans. On the left and the right, the few who believe in and can afford to participate in the pay-for-play system trade millions of dollars in campaign contributions for billions of dollars in tax money as the government picks winners and losers. The appropriate response to this crisis offers a historic opportunity for national re-dedication to our core uniting principles. This response is an amendment to the United States Constitution to secure effective, comprehensive and lasting reform. This Constitutional amendment -- it will be the 28th Amendment -- will empower citizens and their leaders to establish and maintain open and fair elections and governance while making sure that power and money do not overwhelm the voices (speech) of the people. Americans today defy conventional wisdom. We are not as hopelessly divided as some want us to believe. We are capable of big things as a nation. • We are united, not divided, in our determination to return government to the people and restrain the corrupting influence of big money in politics.
