Letter
In last Sunday’s Concord Monitor Capital Beat column, I was
disappointed but not surprised that two of our area State
Representatives and candidates for re-election are supporting Bully
O’Brien for speaker of the house. If you need another reason to get
out and vote against Brandon Guida (Chichester and Pembroke) and
Carol McGuire (Allenstown, Epsom and Pittsfield) consider their
continued support for O’Brien; who handed big tobacco companies tens
of millions of dollars in giveaways (HB2) that cost the State of New
Hampshire over $20 million in lost revenue at a time when it is
desperately needed.
Guida and McGuire have pledged their support for two more years of
divisive and failed politics which has not served the families who
are struggling to make ends meet.
As voters, we have sensible choices on November 6th to restore
balance and ethics back to the legislature so they can focus on real
solutions to serious problems rather than chase personal agendas. If
ever there was a need for common sense in the legislature, it is
now. In Merrimack District 29 (Allenstown, Epsom, Pittsfield),
please consider your vote for Nancy Heath. In Merrimack 20
(Chichester, Pembroke) please join me in voting for Frank Davis,
Sally Kelly and Dianne Schuett. I know they will not vote for Bully
O’Brien for speaker.

To say that we have been busy is an understatement. Customers and
donations have been excellent. However, I would ask that the
donations in the big black bags be not quite so heavy. Try and
remember who has to handle them; ladies over 65 (one younger) but it
is hard to lift those heavy bags.
Here is your chance to buy a cute Halloween costume at 1/2 price for
the rest of October! There are little costumes for the preschool
ages in the first room; in the third room are bigger sizes, hanging
up on the wall with the shoes. There are also dresses that can be
changed into something eerie, wigs, witches hats and assorted tops,
all 1/2 price thru October. Check out the pumpkin buckets and
other decorations in the window. They are for sale too! Greeting
cards have been arranged and are on the kitchen item shelf.
Also, this month, you get a free piece of glassware with every
purchase. Jewelry has come in and, if you want it, you get a little
box free with every purchase while supplies last.
We’re on Route 28. We’re open Mon. 8-12; Tues. and Thurs. 8-4; Wed.
11-4 and Sat. 10-4. Our phone number is 247-7191.
Letter To The Editor
It is sometimes a thankless job to be in the Legislature, but the
vituperative attacks by many current State Representatives and
especially the current leadership on people, on progress and on the
very purpose of governing, makes the need for change imperative.
I have been appalled by the current legislature’s assaults on the
rights of women and workers in particular, and disagree with many of
their fiscal and other policy decisions.
Let’s eliminate the discord and disrespect that now characterize
politics in New Hampshire. I urge you to use your vote for State
Representatives to get a more thoughtful, deliberative and humane
Legislature – vote for Frank Davis, Dianne Schuett and Sally Kelly
on November 6.

Letter To The Editor
To the residents of Chichester and Pembroke:
I would like to strongly urge you to vote for the “team” of Kelly,
Schuett and Davis for our legislative district. Sally Kelly, Dianne
Schuett and Frank Davis have served us in the recent past and worked
together to bring us legislation that was thoughtfully considered,
reasonable, common sense and compassionate.
As the past few years have shown us, a legislature dominated by
extremists of a Tea Party mentality is not beneficial, and in many
cases, is actually harmful to the residents of New Hampshire.
Governor Lynch’s veto pen saved us from a few of the most outrageous
proposals, but others were pushed through, such as allowing
concealed weapons in public places and massive cuts to education and
human services. It is my belief that each and every one of us has
been touched in a positive way by one or more state services and
programs. Programs for the elderly and children and well maintained
roads and bridges are but a few of the ways we all benefit.
As someone mentioned on public radio recently it is not less
government that we need, it is better government. We will not get
better government with the majority of those present in the
legislature at this time.
