I was short on time this year, so I didn’t investigate the uncontested races (congress, exec councilor, state rep, sheriff, county attorney, county treasurer, and register of deeds).

With the race for NH's 4 electoral votes likely to help swing the national election, it's time for the Obama people to convince us Granite State independents why we should support your candidate.

So far, the Obama campaign has been extremely light on platform, and heavy on "hope." I don't care about vague campaign slogans. I could also care less about personality. I want to hear platform—things that actually matter.

Trying to convince me that he is better than voting for McCain isn't going to move me to vote for Obama. Frankly, I am disgusted with both of the major parties. Voting for McCain would just continue the disastrous 8 years of Republican administration. But the Democrats have had the congress for 2 years now, and the political situation just keeps getting worse.

Please respond to this alert from the Friends Committee on National Legislation.

You can fax Sen. Gregg at 202-224-4952 or call his DC office at 202-224-3324.

Sen. Judd Gregg, who sits on the powerful Senate Appropriations Committee, has a chance to say no to new nuclear weapons, ending the administration's hopes of funding the Reliable Replacement Warhead (RRW).

Southern and Western Maine communities and their allies have united in their efforts against Nestlé's water mining in the region. They will rally and hold a press conference to support the people of Kennebunk, Kennebunkport, Wells and Ogunquid who are opposed to the Trustees of the Kennebunk, Kennebunkport and Wells Water District signing a contract with Nestlé. Contract would allow Nestle to pump millions of gallons of water for bottling from recently preserved highly sensitive ecological land.

Writers Note: When I say Baby Boomers, you know who you are are: Middle class and rich white liberals and conservatives. The ones we ALWAYS hear about. If you are a baby boomer who is a member of some oppressed group, I ain't talkin' about you.

Dear Baby Boomers,

Just when you thought hating on you was only a pastime for Generation X, it turns out those of us in "Generation Y" aren't impressed with you either. As I am sitting here finishing the last papers of my college career, I reflect on what I have to look forward to in my adult life on account of your megalomania.
