This morning I’m thinking some people hate to be free. At some level they feel disconnected and decide that’s the way to be. They reject and resist all who would tell them that social is what we are meant to be. And hate what they cannot be. It’s akin to declaring the out of reach [...]

Of all of the winners in health reform, women are some of the biggest. And today’s a perfect example of why. Starting today under the Affordable Care Act – ahem, ObamaCare — new private health plans must cover the guidelines on women’s preventive services with no cost sharing (co-pays) in plan years starting on or [...]

One new sign proclaims: Save America, Vote Republican. I’ve reflected on those signs on a number of occasions during the last two weeks. After the Supreme [...]

It’s been a whirlwind of activity since the our last roundup – time for an update from the Jackie Cilley campaign! Fresh off their war on women, the O’Brien legislature turned their attention again to an effort that failed last year, the return of so-called “Right to Work.” Jackie’s statement against it read in part: [...]

House Democrats were busy today fighting against the radical House GOP social agenda. House Republicans (for the 469th day) have failed to live up to their promise of focusing on jobs and the economy.

For the past 25 years as an adoption attorney, I have witnessed the extraordinary courage and compassion of women – from age 14 to 40 – facing unplanned pregnancy. Not once did I believe that the government should interfere with their personal and private decision. In fact, I believe in less government interference in people’s [...]
People are Dying All Around Us
I’d like to talk with you all about my feelings about losing two friends of ours: I’ll call them Todd and Andy. Soon after graduating from college, Todd got a job at a small store in NH. Todd held that job for 17 years. The store could not afford to provide benefits to any of [...]
