REMINDER
The
Prospect Mountain High School Class of 2020 is hosting a shoe drive
fundraiser. All collected shoes will be delivered to developing
countries, such as Ghana, Bolivia, and Haiti. These shoes are sold
at significantly lower prices and create working opportunities.
The
sophomore class is profited with every pair of donated shoes. Our
goal is to collect 300 bags of 25 pairs each. Shoes must be wearable
and have no holes.
Please
donate in any of our white cardboard donation boxes stationed at the
Alton Town Hall, the Barnstead Town Hall, or in the reception area
at PMHS. The fundraiser is currently taking place and will run
through January 20th.
Please
spread the word around the community. All donations are helpful and
are greatly appreciated. Feel free to contact
[email protected] with
any question or concerns.

Letter
To The Editor
What A
Celebration!
The
other night, there was a massive ear-splitting cheer that was heard
coming from the Koch brothers, the Real Estate Moguls, including
Trump and his family, the Corporate CEOs, the Bankers, the Stock
Brokers, and the rest of the other Ten-Percenters.
The
best government that Big Money could buy finally delivered the
payback that their campaign contributors were guaranteed. I’m
sure the champagne was flowing as the Corrupted Republicans worked
the room patting each other on the back, while planning their next
deception.
The
rest of we Ninety-Percenters were tossed the crumbs in an effort to
appease “The Working Class” with a paltry sum that will be
rolled-back by 2026. And best of all, we got the old “Trickle
Down” trick that has never worked, and never will.
Oh yes,
we also received a $1,500,000,000,000 addition to the National Debt
that we Ninety-Percenters, and our children, will now be asked to
pay, with interest.
When
the Corrupted Republicans return to the Washington Cesspool after
the first of the year, they will start crying over deficit spending,
the ever-increasing costs of healthcare, and “Entitlement Programs”
that “The Working Class” paid taxes for, and are relying on, in
order to avoid a life of poverty and bankruptcy when they get older
or disabled. It will be the first things they attack on their
New Year Agenda.
November 6, 2018 is fast approaching. Let’s get together and
give these Corrupted Republicans a “Pink Slip” before they destroy
our country.
