Letter

Republicans in Allenstown, Epsom & Pittsfield, please write in Ben Fontaine for State Representative on your September 9 primary ballot. There is one open spot on the Republican side and Ben would fill it very nicely. He is from Allenstown and is very popular there. At one time or another he has held almost every local elected office from chairing the Selectmen on down. Ben’s a good conservative and we would be very fortunate to have him in the legislature.
 

Yours,
Dan McGuire
Candidate for State Representative

Letter to the Editor

In the article in Wednesday’s Monitor about the septuplets from Egypt, Dr. Guido Pennings was quoted as saying, “This is a medical failure. You cannot take this risk because of the complications to the mother and the babies.” He is referring to the fact that Egyptian doctors gave fertility treatment to a married couple, and they ended up having seven healthy babies (what a tragedy!). The real failure is the world’s view that it is acceptable to kill babies while in development in the womb, but it is seen as poor judgement to give life to seven babies. The world thinks it is perfectly normal to allow a mother to choose to kill her child, but she should not be given the choice to conceive with the assistance of modern medicine. Enough already! Children are an inheritance from God. It’s time the world started treating them that way.

Letter To The Editor

I would like to give you some history about the four (4) Democrats voted in by the people of Epsom. This year they all Voted for the following:

• HB 1426-tax  on fuel / this raised the price of gas.

• HB1427-raised the tax on fuel oil/raising the cost of heating oil for NH residents.

• SB235-which would assess a 2.5 cent per gallon sales tax on milk.

• SB502-which allows PT employees to be eligible for unemployment benefits. It would increase state, county and local expenditures thereby increasing property taxes.

Hello! Do you want more new taxes or have you had enough? I am an independent and usually vote Democrat but not this year. I’m appalled to think that I trusted our 4 Democrats to represent us and they didn’t. They all said “No New Taxes”. This winter will bring a great deal of hardships and we don’t need MORE NEW TAXES. VOTE REPUBLICAN.
