Never before have we endorsed a political candidate with a public statement. However, in this instance, and in these troubled times, we believe that Stuart (“Stu”) Green, of Andover, is a very worthy candidate, running as a Democratic candidate for the New Hampshire Senate in District 7. Between 1994 and 2015 we lived in Andover, […]
I am 87, a vet, and a conservative in my commitment to opposing radical change in our Constitution. On November 5, I will vote for Democrats up and down the ballot because they will defend the Constitution and the rule of law. They advocate positive programs for our country and champion high moral values that […]
I’m writing to highlight recent activity, initiated by our neighbor, that may be of interest to the broader Andover community. The owner of the Highland Lake Inn, Andover Select Board member Pecco Beaufays, has proposed building a six-unit condominium housing complex, to be sited in the hayfield adjacent to the Inn. As he explained it […]
The first time I didn’t meet Dan Innis was unsurprising. In 2014 he ran for Congress in New Hampshire’s Eastern District and I live in the Western District. His campaign called for privatizing social security. It attracted big checks but few votes. The second time I didn’t meet Dan Innis was more surprising. I worked […]
I read a letter from Karen Cangiano in the Hillsborough Messenger (9/13/2024). She appears to support Stu Green. All of her letter needs context and fact but I will limit my reply to her commentary regarding Dan Innis: “Innis voted against reproductive freedom and for the suppression of free speech in the classroom, has also […]
Prior to 1971, the legal voting age had been twenty-one. The drafting of eighteen-year-olds to fight in the Vietnam war, prompted the argument, “old enough to fight, old enough to vote”. The United States Constitution amended the legal voting age to eighteen. I registered to vote shortly after my eighteenth birthday and the first presidential […]
ANDOVER – This letter is submitted in response to a letter published in the August Beacon in which the writer states that a certain lawn sign “… appears to call for the killing and dismembering of State Representative Andrus.” The writer hints to the person who created the sign by identifying the road where it […]
ANDOVER – This letter concerns the editorial written by Kim Baer and published in the August Beacon. The signs on Franklin Highway have nothing to do with hate and/or violence, but for an understanding of the reproductive policies of the GOP and Louise Andrus, which are injurious to the physical, mental, and spiritual health of […]
Please vote to re-elect Incumbent, Deborah Aylward as State Representative. Why? Because I’ve seen her in action, and have no doubts about her abilities to properly serve her constituents in the State House. She is readily accessible and highly responsive, which are character traits we demand of our representatives. She possesses the strength and fortitude […]
ANDOVER – In response to Kim Baer’s recent opinion piece in the last edition of The Andover Beacon, I’d like to mention the importance of context. She claims a sign on Route 11 “…appears to call for the killing and dismembering of State Representative Andrus” when it advocates no such actions. The sign – the […]
