Candidates Night
I know it's early, but the "silly times" are about to start!
If you don't vote, don't complain about what the elected officials do (or not do) on your behalf. And if you are going to vote, please just don't vote the party line.....KNOW why you are voting for someone or something. from BOTH sides of the debate.
No matter what you do, vote or not, will affect how things go here in Gilford - vote responsbily. In that vein, we echo what the Gilford Steamer reported (paid subscription required):
UpStream, a Lakes Region United Way initiative, is sponsoring a community forum with New Hampshire Senatorial Districts 2 and 4 candidates on Tuesday, Aug. 29, beginning at noon at the downstairs hall of the Congregational Church, Veteran's Square in Laconia.
The invitation to participate in this forum has been extended to Senator Carl Johnson of Meredith, Senator Robert Boyce of Alton Bay, Candidate Kathleen Sgambati of Tilton and Candidate James Fitzgerald of Laconia.
PLEASE get informed - we urge you to go (now, if I can only get back from San Diego in time.....)
In the near future, we will be assembling "stats" on all of the candidates, letting you know the straight skinny on what their platforms are, as well as our take on their platforms (you would expect any less? And yes, conservatives will be placed under the microscope as much if not more than the Liberals).
And be sure, we are looking for discussions here in the 'Grok from you folks!
