Experience/occupation: 100 percent combat related disabled U.S. Marine. I wrote two books “Marine Corps Gallantry or Psychosis," a book about my tour in the USMC, and “Death by Zoning Mudbury USA,” a book about corruption in the Madbury, NH government.
I am an artist I have done over 400 pieces to teach children in our schools across NH as a volunteer. I am a welder, truck driver, builder, and many other fields I use when volunteering my time to help citizens in need across NH.
Prior elected office: None
Why are you running: Less government and fewer taxes. Every day without violence. A candidate running for NH State Senate District 21 and the newspapers censor the public from learning about my efforts to help the community and state of NH.
A suicidal, mentally impaired 100 percent disabled US Marine from the Vietnam conflict that the government stops my medical care and the editors believe it is their God given right as a private business to silence my voice through Freedom of the Press. What a wonderful place this USA is. I have fought the silent demons and three other service-connected disabilities for over 30 years without violating the law. I volunteer almost every day to help people that I do not even know for well over 30 years. My running for public office deserves no special privileges but equal and fair treatment is the law. To censor my opinion letters of government wrongs is contrary to the established principles of our Constitution. The news media is so content on protecting the public from the dangers of some one like me that they refuse to inform the public of the Veteran Resort-Chapel. A place my wife and I spent our life savings and mortgaged our home to the hilt to purchase 11 acres of waterfront property to give returning veterans a place to live free if need be to mentally and/or physically come back from war.
Cabins spread through the woods with paths and a peaceful, waterfront area for the individual to find them selves back here in the USA. A place where they can speak to God, themselves or any one else with out public ridicule and disparaging comments pushing them deeper into a place no one should go. This 11 acres at 101 Stepping Stone Road, Lee, NH is close enough to businesses and other civilized society that the veteran can integrate back at their own rate if ever. A veteran helping veterans where the Veterans Administration and civilized society ignore and neglect that what they cannot understand. If I am a danger it comes from the disabilities obtained as a US Marine in defense of this nation that the VA and NH government have stopped my medical care for. Other US military veterans not lucky enough to have a wife as great as mine become homeless because of wrongs by our US government that the editors believe the public does not have a right to be informed about. A candidate running for NH State Senate District 21 being shown he is not qualified for the voters to learn about because of his disabilities received defending the publics right to be free to vote. What an oxymoron.
My running for NH State Senate has nothing to do with the Veteran Resort-Chapel other than the consequence of finding the property in an election year. It does not matter because the damage to censor the facts of either from the voters is harm to those homeless US military veterans far beyond anything public ignorance will ever see.
I am a candidate running for NH State Senate District 21 but more important I am a citizen trying to help those that gave everything for our freedom to do so.
