The Moral Imperative of Governance

At its core, government should be a mechanism to provide for the greater good – coming together to leverage the collective strength of our resources in a way that individual effort cannot achieve. This is the stuff of history books where societies advance and the influence of great men and women steer communities and nations forward.

​

New Hampshire, reflecting trends both nationally and internationally, is experiencing a crisis of conscience where civic duty and responsibility for the benefit of our citizens is wearing thin.  In its place we see disdain for the majority of citizens in favor of steadily increasing advantages to the wealthy and expanding the influence of big business and special interests.

​

Unique to New Hampshire are the Free-Staters, whose self-serving agenda of demolishing government seriously threatens our way of life.  Their presence has grown frighteningly over the past two decades. And while they constitute less than 2 percent of the State’s population, their influence in Concord is resulting in some of the most serious damage to our freedoms in modern times.

​

Every election cycle there is insistence for “change”.  In the year when we celebrate the 250th anniversary of our country’s founding, a return to the core principles of democracy is the requisite change we urgently need. 

​

The clear path forward is to elect representatives who will embody the strength and principles of democracy for the common good.

The moral imperative has never been more important.
