With six Republicans and Democrats dumping on each other for the 2nd District congressional race, might it not be time for a Libertarian to enter this contest as well, just to point out the shortcomings of the ONE Party (Republican/Democrat)? New Hampshire's discrimination statutes require collecting 1,500 nominating petitions to access the general election ballot. When the weather…

This is what comes of voting for a socialist/statist, rather than the Libertarian alternative offered either as Ron Paul or Bob Barr. (And John McCain would have been no better. Different, yes, but no better.) If all the bad comes home to roost, there is still the 2010 elective cycle to seek the Libertarian candidates. HOWARD L. WILSON Andover

In a download from MoveOn.org, they brag of how much money they collected and spent to re-elect Carol Shea-Porter and elect Jeanne Shaheen in 2008: Carol Shea-Porter $45,216.55 Jeanne Shaheen $219,105.46 Given their need for more socialists in Congress, how much might they raise and spend to elect Paul Hodes to the U.S. Senate and Mark Fernald to the 2nd District House seat?

As the dollar sinks into oblivion, driven there by the Federal Reserve system's policies of "easy money" gifted to banks and business, on orders from both George W. Bush and Barack Obama, you can see the side effects of such policies everywhere you look.

Re House Bill 488, establishing a commission to study the efficiency and responsiveness of state government:
A similar study was done during the term of Gov. Craig Benson, six years ago. Given the rejection of Benson in the next elective cycle, not many of that study's suggested changes were ever activated.
Our current governor seems likely to sign up for a fourth term, thus making…

You might want to check out two books with contrary views of Abraham Lincoln:
A) Lincoln Unmasked, by Thomas J.DiLorenzo.
B) The Real Lincoln: A New Look at Abraham Lincoln, His Agenda, and an Unnecessary War, by Thomas J. DiLorenzo.

There are other presidential candidates out there: Bob Barr and George Phillies, Chuck Baldwin, Ralph Nader and maybe a few others in one or two states.
Barack Obama and John McCain scare me, not just because of the information and ideals they present on the campaign trail but because of the history they bring to their effort to gain the office of president.
Each says he will reduce…

On Sept. 17, the Monitor published a full-page call for essays from students in the government education system, relevant to study of the U.S. Constitution, limited to 300 words. Winners will be chosen from each supporting newspaper, with a grand prize winner chosen by the state Supreme Court.
From such a short essay, each student in presumed to learn something about how our government…

Reading the filings for the state primary leads to the belief that the state Republican Party has fallen on hard times.
In races for the New Hampshire House, Grafton County District 9 and Merrimack County District 6 show either a complete lack of candidates or a dearth of candidates.
Grafton County District 9 lacks three candidates in a three-seat district. Merrimack County District…

On Sunday evening I saw a note on Drudge Report that Mr. Bush has at long last decided that he wants Osama bin Laden captured. Kind of late to make that level of "executive decision," after invading both Iraq and Afghanistan with ulterior motives, decided even before the so-called 9/11 attack.

The Federal Reserve System is not an agency of the federal government, even though it is chartered as a monopoly supplier of inflation. For it to be the agency of last resort in a socialist/statist economy - to rescue those banks and investment houses that are deemed to have made mistakes in their economic activity - is to see the end of a market system, in favor of subsidy for…

Dennis Kucinich has submitted a 50-count indictment of Mr. Bush and, separately, an indictment of Mr. Cheney, both for treason.
Nancy Pelosi is the roadblock to any activation of these measures, out of personal or political cowardice. These things need be done prior to Bush and Cheney leaving office. Is it not time to respond to the will of the people?

Re U.S. House and Senate legislation called the Violent Radicalization and Homegrown Terrorism Prevention Act (S. 1959 and HR 1955):
This is absolutely scary legislation being written for activation at some point soon after Mr. Bush leaves office. Given the scary individuals currently still in the running for president (minus Ron Paul and Libertarian George D. Phillies), I can see…

Congratulations to Ron Paul on the receipt of $6 million.
Added to the $8 million from last month, the cause of liberty, and maybe even a return to the republic, now is even better endowed.
