How can the news media in the U.S. be such Hippocrates? Other Candidates running for the NH State Senate get stories written about them by the newspapers before they even register for office. The news media may not appreciate that my words (although they may hurt people with good reputations) are documented facts. I have not violated the law, but I go out of my way to volunteer help others every day since 1974 when I returned from a conflict. I will be volunteering to help the Strafford county conservation commission teach children next week. I can volunteer teach your children, help in the communities every day by volunteering, and many other things, yet I am not good enough for the public to be informed that I am running for public office. The Concord Monitor’s article by Ray Deckler “He’s making his case, day by day” on May 28 at least told the truth. I have gone out of my way to make life better for all equally since I returned in 74. I do not want your thanks or pity. I want to be treated equally under the Constitution. How can the news media insist on the right to free press when they censor those facts that they do not want the public to know?
Granted I do have three permanent disabilities receive during separate incidents during my tour in the U.S. Marine Corps. Two came during separate combat support missions. I am 100% disabled, service connected. I write about my disabilities and how they effect my life every day. I am running for public office and the public has the right to decide, not the news media or the NH government. NH with the help of the VA stopped my medical care for disabilities received during my tour. I received in writing from the Boston Globe and words from the VA telling me to commit suicide. The NH government sends the State Police to my house to tell me to commit suicide because my letters are effecting the system in Concord. These are facts NH officials are afraid that if I get elected will become public. If I get elected I will speak freely about the criminal acts in our courts and government. I will bring NH back to the people. I will work to lower taxes and less government interference in our lives. My disabilities were received protecting our freedom yet the news limits freedom by censorship.
I have dreamed every day of killing myself since I returned. I came back to a world that I do not belong. I committed acts in the line of duty as a U.S. Marine that to this day this civilized society can not accept or want to understand. I do not feel shame or guilt for what I did, for this reason society makes us Veterans feel condemned . I live every day in the shadow of what I did, with the daily reminder by re-living these events in my head. I look and act as an every day citizen. I do not show my pain or display my need to die. Even people that know me do not know that I am disabled. I talk about my personal events happening in my head on paper because to wine to others is not me. My dreams changed when at 17 I became a U.S. Marine. VA promoting suicide is a crime.
I tell all to read the May 28 article. It tells the good and bad of me. Has the news media down graded it’s ethics so far that investigating the truth by reading another newspaper can not happen? Does the news media now use the Constitution for self protection while harming the people that it was meant to protect? “We the people:. The Words “There is nothing so powerful as truth” are words that can make the news media Hippocratic when they fail to live by them.
