Rod Doherty, Editor of Foster’s newspaper wrote a good article on” concerned with good and bad timing”. The article explains the Union Leader and Foster’s reasons for why they print news. In specific the Strafford county sheriff’s race. The editor fails to tell the other side. The editors do cater to those that they would prefer in office. The Foster’s once gave me an award for my volunteering in the state. I happen to agree with Foster’s on the Brown brutal integration of a suspect. The records should have been public when it happen. The problem is Freedom and abuse. The news caters to those they like. These people exceed their powers to control. News is limited and the people are not well informed. It is a vicious circle. I ran for NH State senate in the primary against Amanda Merrill. The Foster’s and Union leader did great stories on Amanda but put crippling one liners about me to influence the Voter’s Choice. I write opinion letters every day and the editors refuse to publish them. The reports knew my platform and still refused to inform the voters. A good newspaper would print controversial opinion letters even if they hurt friends of the editors. I was on good terms with Rod until I wrote a letter questioning Rod’s friend and attorney for the town of Madbury NH actions. The Madbury town attorney knew helped the Madbury NH selectmen use of government powers for revenge against local residents. Judge Peter Fauver used the power of the court to aid the Madbury selectmen in destroying people the selectmen did not want in Madbury. The NH supreme court refused to hear the case to cover up criminal activity by Judges. NH to stop me from writing letters to the editor exposing these wrongs in government has taken my freedom, friends, and health. I ran for election this past primary only to have the editors and government interfere with a free election. If the editors are concerned with what I write they can put a disclaimer next to my opinion letters. To cover up my platform from the voters constitutes a crime against the people of the U.S. Biased editors should not be allowed to influence an election.
U.S. Rep from NH Shea-Porter used my military disabilities to harm me to stop my opinion letters. NH locked me up as a terrorist before the bogus charges were dropped. MY Medical care was stopped by the director of NH’s VA to stop my letters. I now receive limited and sub-standard medical care. I have not and will not violate the law. This is what must be necessary (many must believe) to stop criminal government actions against We the people. I am a 100% service connected disabled Veteran. I believe in peaceful, legal solutions to stop wrongs in government. A war should not be needed.
We have laws and if my letters were not the truth people mentioned in them can take legal action against me. This will not happen because every fact that I mention is documented in the record. If action is taken against me this will all become public information that the editors can not censor. Rod Doherty told one side of the news will any editor in the U.S.A. be willing to tell the people’s side
I do not want any miss understanding about Amanda. She is a great person. I will vote for her. She is well educated, with many experiences. She cares about the people. I just wish that the people could have heard both sides before voting. True journalism is printing the unbiased truth no matter whom it favors or not.
