Letter to the Editor
Hillary Clinton will bring socialism to America
To the Editor:
In last week’s Cabinet, a letter was written decrying that if Trump is elected president, the USA as we know it will cease to exist. I don’t deny that. But let me state this: If Hillary wins the election in November, and the Democrats take back the House and Senate, the USA as we know it will also cease to exist.
In fact, if Hillary wins, be prepared to change the name of our country to the Socialist States of America.
If Hillary gets to do all she wants, including Bernie Sanders’ wants, the government will simply take all of your paycheck, and give you back whatever THEY think you need. This will result in citizens not even making an effort, because they will all be paid the same.
You want to take a good-paying job to get ahead? Forget about it. The government will just take the funds away from you.
Freedom of association as guaranteed by the constitution? Not any more. The government will tell you how many of whoever you will invite into your group, either publicly or in private.
Freedom of religion? Only if your religious beliefs are in accordance with the government’s guidelines.
Want to keep your children? Not unless you raise them exactly as the government thinks you should; otherwise, they will take them from you (in case you haven’t noticed, they already are).
Democrats believe the government is the supreme being, and they know what is best for you.
More importantly, if you are a white male under 60 years of age, you will become the lowest on the totem pole for any job, promotion or benefit. Hillary has emphatically stated that she is an avowed feminist, and this will become the decade of the woman.
I hope you listened to all of those interviews of Hillary’s supporters during the DNC. Almost every one stated they are voting for her because she is a woman. That is a pretty feeble reason to vote for someone, just because of their gender. Didn’t people vote for Obama just because he was black? You see how that turned out.
Folks, I am not suggesting that you should vote for Donald Trump, he would, indeed, be a disaster. But just remember, if you want to keep America, America, you better think twice about voting for Hillary. Who should you vote for? Beats me. Maybe you should write in my name.

Kelly Ayotte is the leader we need to fight drug crisis
To the Editor:
The heroin and drug crisis here in New Hampshire needs leaders on both sides of the aisle who are willing to stand up and fight, no matter what it takes. Kelly Ayotte has proven that she is one of those leaders.
She showed that through her bipartisan work to pass the Comprehensive Addiction and Recovery Act, and it is clear that Kelly is passionate about saving lives and creating an example for other states that are battling the same issues.
I’m supporting Kelly Ayotte because I want a senator that is willing to look past party lines in order to get people the help that they need, and time and time again, Kelly has done this on that issue.

Wonderful evening honoring police
To the Editor:
My wife and I were so impressed with the hosting of our "men and women in blue" last night, Aug. 2.
Adults and children alike were treated to open and personal contact participation in a wonderful evening of games, fun, caring, and delicious food.
It was a super service to our community, and it appeared the officers enjoyed it as much as did we.

Bachman death not due to road
To the Editor:
This is in response to last week’s front page story ‘Road Rage’ regarding safety concerns on Merrimack Road in Amherst.
Paul Tripp referenced the fatality of John Bachman as recent evidence as to the dangerous condition of the road. That is a complete misrepresentation of the facts.
John Bachman being hit and killed had absolutely nothing to do with the makeup of the road. By his own admittance, the vehicle operator’s inattentiveness was the sole factor to the crash.
Mr. Tripp using my father’s death for his own personal gain is insensitive, inaccurate and selfish.

Hopefest offers family fun
To the Editor:
There is a great family event planned for the end of August in Milford. We have the honor of hosting Hopefest, which is a music festival to benefit Greater Nashua Habitat for Humanity.
With our hectic schedules and rigorous day-to-day demands, Hopefest provides us with an opportunity to spend some nice quality time with our families. In this troubled world of ours, couldn’t we use a little faith, hope, and love to help remind us of what is really important?
Artists from all around are scheduled to perform, including Mark Shultz, Ryan Stevenson, Jonas Woods, Epic Season, and many more. This social event also offers activities for the whole family: arts and crafts, on-site camping, nature walk trails and food.
Everyone is welcome. We have an opportunity to bring positive excitement and energy to our area. The more community involvement, the better our chances of raising funds for a great cause.
With your help, we can turn this festival into an annual event. Plus, it’s a great chance to have some fun in a family-friendly environment.
Date: Saturday, August 27 (10 a.m.-10 p.m.) and Sunday, August 28 (12-4 p.m.)
Location: 327 North River Road, Milford.
