Letter


I had promised to elaborate on my objectives.  First: Jobs, Jobs, Jobs.


We are a free market economy.  However, we are a regulated free market  and do not condone commerce without conscience.  If you subscribe to Socialist, Marxist, or Communist systems, stop here.


In a free enterprise system, the government doesn’t create jobs, but can create the climate where the free enterprises will create jobs.  The businesses look to stability in the economic environment.  Stability in taxation, regulation, and litigation.


How have we done in the past four years?  Sadly, it looks line the State is intentionally chasing out jobs and encouraging pink slips to be issued.  There have been 84 new taxes in four years, many of them on businesses, big or small. I must pay a tax to keep my employees, even if I make no money!  Double taxation has been imposed.  The rate of each tax has fluctuated upwards.  We already have the highest business tax burden in the nation.


The regulations are mind boggling.  Some contradict the law; some make no sense.  There is no central location where all valid regulations could be viewed.  The state-operated website has a disclaimer of accuracy!


Litigation:  The outcome of a case often depends on the judge.  There is no consistency, no predictability in our courts.  The State Supreme Court has made great strides.  However, every clever lawyer will try to find jurisdiction in the federal courts and get out of the state system.


We have our work cut out for us.  We need to make every dollar count.


Respectfully,
Tony F. Soltani
Epsom

 


 

Letter To The Editor


Dear Editor:
I am writing in support of Tony Soltani, who is a candidate for State Representative from Epsom, Allenstown, and Pittsfield.  I have known Tony for more than 20 years.  He is my friend, a fellow veteran and a Legionnaire.  He has a deep commitment to community service, and has always given it his all.


Tony, as he is known everywhere, keeps his small town values, and has never shirked from giving his time and considerable talent to serve the people.  During his previous service at the State House, he developed a mastery of the rules, the process and the state operation.  He used this knowledge to serve us and to ensure that his constituents are never short-changed.


Tony brings a voice of reason and an undiminished integrity to the state government, something which is desperately needed.


I will be voting for Tony Soltani as our state representative and ask you to also give him one of your four votes on November 2, 2010.  New Hampshire is in a mess with its budget, economy, jobs, and taxes.  WE NEED TONY BACK NOW.


Very truly yours,
George Foster
Epsom

Letter


To the Voters of Allenstown, Epsom, and Pittsfield:
As State Representatives, one of our goals is to be available to our voters.  We had Republican debates to meet voters before the primaries.  After the primaries we wished to have debates or just roundtable discussions with our Democratic opponents, so that the voters could meet all the possible candidates in one location at one time and compare our views and opinions and then make an informed, fact-filled decision.  When contacted, one of our opponents told us that meeting with voters was not “ in the best interest of the Democratic Party.”


This exchange is a primary example of the differences between the candidates.  The four of us are committed to being available and accessible to the voters so they can question us and request our help.  Our opponent, as is common with Democratic candidates nationwide, does not want to meet the voters and does not want to hear their cares and concerns.  To view the email exchange for yourself please visit www.suncookvalleygop.org


Even though our opponent does not want to meet with the voters, the four of us would be happy to meet you!  We have scheduled a Meet the Candidate night for Thursday, October 28th, from 7pm-9pm at the Circle 9 Campground, 39 Windymere Dr, Epsom.  All four of us will be there as will be other candidates for other state offices. For more information please visit www.suncookvalleygop.org or call 782-4918.


When the time comes to vote on November 2nd, please remember that the four of us are committed to being available to the voters. Vote for us November 2nd.


Thank you,
Rep. Carol McGuire
Tony Soltani
Dan McGuire
Jon Richardson

Letter


It is with mixed feelings that I decided not to seek another term in the House of Representatives.  I am grateful to the many people of this district who elected me ten times to this body, but  now it is time for others to serve.  I hope that voters will give consideration to Mary Frambach as a candidate for this office. Mary is a life-long resident of Epsom.  She taught school for many years.  She has served Epsom in several capacities including deputy town clerk, budget committee including chairperson, and selectman.  These experiences would be an asset for her in considering the many complex issues that legislators will face in the next session.  Mary will have my vote and I hope she may have the votes of a majority of people in this district.

Letter


To my Constituents in Allenstown, Epsom, & Pittsfield:
After nearly two years of writing these letters as impartially as I can, I beg your indulgence for a partisan letter.  I’m asking for your vote on November 2, not only for myself, but also for all Republican candidates for state offices: Governor, Senator, and Representative.  For the last four years, Democrats have held the governorship and substantial majorities in both the House and the Senate.  In that period, state spending has ballooned by 24%, “balanced” by a mix of borrowing, downshifting obligations to the counties and towns, multiple tax increases, new and increased fees, raiding various dedicated funds, selling state assets, spending down the rainy day fund and by spending over $300 million in one time federal money for ongoing expenses.  New taxes such as the LLC tax and the campground tax were imposed and then repealed.  We can’t go on this way.


If we proceed as we have, the next budget will start with a deficit of nearly $800 million.  Based on the last four years, if we re-elect Governor Lynch and a Democrat Legislature, we can expect many new and increased fees, as much borrowing as the state can manage, higher property taxes for counties and towns, any remaining dedicated funds drained of their assets – and very likely cries for an income tax.


Yes, the economy has been bad: but nationwide, state governments reduced spending by over 2% in 2009-10, even as our state spending increased by more than 7%.  The Democrat majority refused to consider quite a number of suggested spending cuts, even while urging us to expand the struggling pension system.  The Democrats are nice people individually, but when they get into a block, they can’t seem to stop spending.


Please vote Republican on November 2!


Representative Carol McGuire

Letter To The Editor


Dear Editor:
I will be voting for my friend, Tony Soltani, on November 2, 2010, as my State Representative.  I ask my fellow citizens in Allenstown, Pittsfield, and Epsom to also join me.  I have been active in Allenstown town affairs for many years.  I know what it takes to volunteer your time and efforts for the betterment of the community.  Tony has served on many town boards and committees in Epsom for many years.  He also served eight years as a legislator.  I watched him closely during that time, and I knew that our town was well represented under the watchful eye of Tony.  He took his function seriously and was always available and responsive to his constituents.  No two people can always agree.  But with Tony, he understands that you can disagree without being disagreeable.  He listens and tries to learn from differing perspectives and opinions.  He can change his mind if better information or reason convinces him.  Nevertheless, he always will do that which in his heart he believes to be right.  He will bring a voice of reason, and a wealth of integrity to Concord on our behalf.  Tony never walked lockstep with any special interest group or political party.  When Allenstown’s vote was diminished after being Gerrymandered with Hooksett, Tony fought hard and stood up to his own party leaders to ensure that that meant he would have to work harder for reelection.  He stood up for his district in allocating State Highway Funds after years of neglect.  He successfully challenged the equity of the school aid distribution formula, which resulted in the benefit to towns such as those in his district, rather than the wealthy towns in the seacoast, and the Southern Tier, which did not need the funds, but had the political muscle.


Tony is a tireless advocate of his constituents.  I hope to see him as our representative in Concord again.


Sincerely,
Art Houle
Allenstown

 


 

Letter To The Editor


Dear Editor:
This letter is in unwavering support of Tony Soltani as he seeks to once again to place his State and Her people above self as a New Hampshire State Representative.


There is no substitute for experience. There is no substitute for Soltani. Tony is an American, a New Englander, and a Granite Stater. Tony is a father, a veteran, an attorney and he is an experienced New Hampshire State Representative.


During his time as a New Hampshire State Representative, Tony was a resounding force for common sense politics, working for the common good. My father, Gabby Daneault, and Tony were and remain friends. As colleagues, they collaborated on many state and county projects.  During the redistricting, Tony stood up against his own party leaders to ensure that Allenstown would have a better chance of electing its own representative, and he succeeded.


Now that Tony is well, he is the one person that I fully trust to help make New Hampshire well again. As such, Tony will be getting my vote on November 2, 2010; and I will be hoping that he will also get the votes of you and your readers. New Hampshire needs  Tony, because there is no substitute for experience; there is no substitute for Soltani.


Sincerely,
Louise Letendre
Allenstown

 


 

Letter To The Editor
It’s our turn now!


If your Representative and/or Senator does not agree to the proposed 28th Amendment to the United  States Constitution--Dump Them!


“Congress shall make no law that applies to citizens of the United States that does not apply equally to the Senators and/or Representatives; and Congress shall make no law that applies to the Senators and/or Representatives that does not equally apply to the citizens of the United States.”


Jim Breagy
