Update:



Our next scheduled meeting will be on February 9th, at 7:00 PM in Milton at the Emma Ramsey Center. Our speaker will be Olivia Zink, from Open Democracy. She will speak about voting rights and campaign finance reform.

About Open Democracy:

Founded in 2009 by renowned reformer Doris “Granny D” Haddock (1910-2010), Open Democracy is leading the New Hampshire movement to strengthen democracy and stop the corrupting influence of special interest money in politics. Over the past five years, we have educated and engaged thousands of New Hampshire citizens through nonpartisan grassroots campaigns, film and theatrical events, a national speaker series, research and publications, and local and state advocacy initiatives. In 2014, we partnered with citizens in 52 New Hampshire towns to pass warrant articles calling for an end to corporate and union spending in political campaigns under Citizens United.

We will have a guest speaker at our January 14th meeting.
Kristy Martino, U.S. Poverty Grassroots Organizer from RESULTS, will describe her group’s work to train volunteers to advocate for education, health, and economic opportunity by influencing policy makers.  RESULTS can provide training and research for action.

RESULTS Mission and Vision
Volunteer profiles and how we train and support them to become effective advocates
Our RESULTS (key success in making tax credits for working families permanent this year)
Special projects: REAL Change youth fellowship and Experts on Poverty
Seacoast and NH/ME RESULTS chapters

RESULTS is a movement of passionate, committed everyday people. Together they use their voices to influence political decisions that will bring an end to poverty.
Volunteers receive training, support, and inspiration to become skilled advocates. In time, volunteers learn to effectively advise policy makers, guiding them towards decisions that improve access to education, health, and economic opportunity.

With every hour of their time, volunteers multiply their impact through the enormous power of advocacy — whether it’s helping change policy to support millions of families putting food on the table or helping raise billions of dollars for the world’s most vulnerable children.

Backed by the in-depth research and legislative expertise of staff, RESULTS advocates realize the incredible power they possess to use their voices to change the world.

RESULTS Educational Fund, a nonprofit 501(c)(3) organization that:

• Performs cutting-edge research and oversight.
• Educates and mobilizes the public, policy makers, and the media.
• Supports powerful citizenship by training volunteers in public speaking, generating media, and educating their communities and elected officials on issues of poverty.
• RESULTS, Inc., a nonprofit, grassroots advocacy 501(c)(4) organization:
• Pushes for specific policies and legislation to address poverty.
• Empowers people to become powerful voices for the end of poverty through grassroots advocacy.

Voter's Voice

Thanks, Bill

To the Editor:

I talked to Representative Bill Remick of Lancaster this weekend. A Main Street Republican like Julie Brown, he was my seatmate in 2005. And, like Julie Brown, he will not be coming back. Why? It seems that voters up there also got a postcard – a big glossy postcard — a 4-color half-truth hatchet job like the one that cut down Dick Green.
There is personal speech and there is puppet-string speech with strings pulled from the shadows by money from far outside this state. If you get a big glossy postcard in your mailbox ask who wrote it and be sure to get their name.
In the meantime, please remember Bill Remick, Republican of Lancaster, a retired teacher of courtesy and calm assessment, a good legislator, and an honorable man – one more reminder of the bitter legacy of the O’Brien House.
This November, vote to bring the center back.

Larry Brown (D)

Candidate for NH House
Strafford Dist. 1
Milton/Middleton

Larry Brown and Candace Cole-McCrea emerged victorious in Tuesday's Primary and thank each and every voter for your support.  The duo will seek to win the two Strafford District 1 State Rep seats on November 6th.  They will hope to be part of a return to a Democratic majority in Concord with a goal of serving all the residents of Middleton and Milton.  We also thank Cory Mattocks for his run - hope to see you more active in Democratic politics.

at the Emma Ramsey Center in Milton, under the Town Offices.  Primary voters will choose Federal and State candidates.  You'll be asked for ID but do not have to show it this election.  Ballot clerks will give you a sheet explaining what ID will be necessary for the November 6th election.  Every election is important.  Your vote is a responsibility of living in a democracy.  Thank you.
