New Hampshire Democratic Party Chair Ray Buckley's Statement on Democrats' Victory in Tonight's Special Election
Concord, NH - New Hampshire Democratic Party Chair Ray Buckley issued the following statement on Democratic candidate Bob Perry's victory in the Strafford County District Three special election tonight.
"Bob Perry's victory tonight is a complete and total rejection of Republican House Speaker Bill O'Brien's reckless job killing agenda. In a historically Republican district, New Hampshire voters turned out in the middle of summer to send a loud and clear message to the out of control Republican majority. Its relentless attempts to make cigarettes cheaper but college more expensive, slash women's health care, and kill jobs by taxing hospitals must stop immediately.
"New Hampshire voters have seen enough of the radical Free State agenda this year with bills that would allow guns in schools and courts, would remove support for our United States' Constitution out of the oath of office, and would eliminate public kindergarten.
"Tonight's special election is a clear rejection of the out of touch GOP agenda that puts corporations first and Granite Staters last." |

Gov Lynch Veto Message on Right to Work (for less) |
|
|
|
By the authority vested in me, pursuant to part II, Article 44 of the New Hampshire Constitution, on May 11, 2011, I vetoed HB 474.
States should not interfere with the rights of businesses and their employees to freely negotiate contracts. That is unless there is a compelling public interest, and there is no compelling public interest in passing this legislation.
There is no evidence that this legislation will offer any benefits to New Hampshire's economy or workers.
As I have said repeatedly, New Hampshire has an economic strategy that is working. New Hampshire has one of the strongest and fastest-growing economies in the nation. We have one of the lowest unemployment rates and one of the highest median incomes in the nation. We are considered one of the safest states and one of the healthiest states, and a high percentage of our citizens have private health insurance.

Many of you live in a fantasy world
by Don in NYC
Reading the many, many comments, diaries and tweets about the sausage-making party that has been the debt ceiling deal I've been struck by the number of people out there in the progressive community who seem to be living in an alternate universe, devoid of the kinds of political realities which make our own world so complex. There are people claiming that, somehow, Obama and the Democrats let us down, that Obama is a stealth Republican, that we had the upper hand and, somehow, lost.
To those people I say: pay attention to reality.

A Christian statement on the Moral Dimension of Budget Decisions |
|
|
|
As Americans, we believe strongly in the separation of church and state.
However, this perspective of the moral dimensions of budget decisions can be applied to a secular outlook as well as to virtually any other religious tradition.
A Circle of Protection:
A Statement on Why We Need to
Protect Programs for the Poor
In the face of historic deficits, the nation faces unavoidable choices
about how to balance needs and resources and allocate burdens and
sacrifices. These choices are economic, political—and moral.
