Important Elections Tuesday!

VERY IMPORTANT ELECTIONS TUESDAY!

The Water Articles!

State Representatives!

State Representatives are important this year, because The race is Rep. Garrity vs. Town Tax collector Debra De Simone vs. Jack Hayes.

It is time for a change, Rep. Garrity has been a little disappointing, endorsing the excesses of our selectmen. And, unfortunately our tax collector, has no political experience outside of tax collecting for Atkinson.

We believe, it is time for a change. Time to stir things up a bit. Send a Maverick to the State House, send Jack Hayes!

Jack is a 33 year town resident and a former US Army Green Beret Captain, with extensive service in Vietnam. Jack is also very involved in veterans issues. Also a Former Teacher in Salem, NH, he is currently retired after 3 years of supplementing retirement, by substitute teaching, Jack has decided to throw his hat into the political ring. With aims to bring honesty, integrity, accountability to politics.

Atkinson could not possibly do better than to ELECT JACK HAYES TO STATE LEGISLATURE!

Water Ordinance voters, you have one chance in this election to send a rep to the State House that will STAND UP for the people who elected him!

There has to be a change from the representation we receive in concord.

I have watched our present Rep. follow along with the likes of our BOS. Since 2005 he has cow towed to those in power. I don't believe he has one thought of his own. We need a leader not a follower. Some one who will stand up for our rights.

Our whole town government needs a shake up and we have to keep trying until we find some people with honesty and integrity.

As far as I am concerned,the jury is still out on the BOS.

Some one said to me the other day,"You elected him didn't you"? That is so true and I am willing to keep looking for the right person. Maybe Mr. Hayes fits the bill. We won't know unless we try.

I will be casting my vote for him.

A GREEN BERET CAPTAIN!

So He obviously has leadership skills down pat. Along with honor and integrity.

Maybe he should run for selectman and clean up Atkinson~!

I believe that Mr. Hayes will do much better than the others on the list with no doubt. Very inportant to elect one with no political ties to any. Just like John McCain said the other night, It all starts with every one of us at all levels....

Mr. Garrity lost my vote when he helped prompt Frank to mention at the last Deliberative Session that any citizen petition could be made meaningless by amendment, which is exactly what happened to every one of them. I was sitting right next to him when he did it, saw it first hand. Not the kind of leadership and representation I expect, or we need.

The water petitions are extremely important. We need to send a strong message to the BOS and the Planning Board that we expect them act on OUR behalf in front of the DES, and represent our interests, not those of the Hampstead Area Water Company.

The Newton BOS got involved, and they got results. Send a message, we expect our BOS to do the same.
