Big news on the home front. Stalwart trooper Bob Fink has given up the Lancaster comfy chair to Jon Easton. Big time and long time activist for the people. Bob no sooner gave up his seat, in the next breath took control of the Lancaster Fair manning time table coordination. This guy just won't quit. If you are interested in working the Fair, let Bob know as the days close in to the fair date. It should be around the last week in August and the first week in September.
Other meeting news was that we were treated to no less than 3 sitting House Reps with Martha McLeod, Bernie Buzzell and Scott-Superman-Merrick. Bernie gave a riveting and emotional testimony of how the Righties are selling out the working class and kicking out the elderly from the nursing homes. This amazes me since so many of the Righty goats in Concord are passed the time when they should themselves be nursing home patients.
We had the privilege (???) of having in person Nick Clemons, NHDP Exec Director, and Johanna Voss, NHDP field director. It is quite clear to this political junky that Nick got his used car training at the same place as his predecessor Mike Vlasich, the Gypsy used car Emporium in Nashua. Nick will no doubt be on the Lynch staff if the Centrist makes it in the next cycle. Hey Johanna, save yourself, run!!!
Big coordination and progress from the Coos County Righty headbasher Paul Robitalle and his local chairs that attended and an allout concerted effort to beat the tyrannical Righty oppressive meanies this next cycle. I can't give you any good sentiment from Nick and Johanna because spin is not what this blogoscyte is all about. Suffice it to say that the continued standard operating procedure of the NHDP will remain top down support and funding. Crap. I'll never get in as a "D". It's all up the the locals!!! Anyhooo, it was a well attended event and thanks to Nick and Johanna for taking that loooong trip up. I'm sure they know how we feel driving down to the Concord area for all the festivities there. I don't think they care... but they know how we feel. At least Nick showed. Mike didn't give this North Country the time of day.

Thanks again Bob and get some rest. Good luck Jon and if you need any help well, call me and I'll see if I can get anyone to help you. Thanks especially to Reps Martha, Bernie and Scott for your much appreciated words. Always welcome here!!!!! The next Coos Dems ho-down is scheduled for 22May2005, in Berlin at the train station. I may be there. I may not. Hope to see you. VIGILANCE!!!
