Aid Planned Parenthood if you want but leave tax dollars out of it

To the editor,

After reading the article Annie Kuster wrote in the May 26th edition of the Plymouth Record Enterprise, it’s plain to see she is very confused. She writes about the damage the Republican-controlled Congress has done. Is she aware that the Democrats control the Senate and that the president is a Democrat? Does she honestly think that they have nothing to do with the mess our country is in. Who does she blame for President Obama’s eight hundred billion dollar stimulus plan that was a total failure? A least we can honestly say that President Bush’s TARP bill is almost fully paid back. Does she know that our housing market is still falling or that the equity that the average American family has in their home has been wiped out? Sounds like the only news she gets is from the main stream media!

Annie states she wants to create new jobs and put people back to work, but she has forgotten that the president she helped get elected promised the American people that if his stimulus plan was passed, it would keep the unemployment rate below 8-percent. Well, it has steadily been above 9-percent. Maybe she should call him and advise him how to accomplish keeping his promises. Did she support his “Cash for Clunkers “plan? That was a total failure.

As far as the New Hampshire House Republicans and senators are concerned, what a great job they are doing!! They have cut seven hundred million dollars from our state budget! Not good enough for her. She says they are against organized labor. Not so! They are trying to protect an individual’s freedom of choice. That freedom includes any person’s right not to be forced to join a union or pay the union dues. That’s the real American way!

I guess she’s not happy that those nasty Republican’s reversed the “Parental Consent Law.” You know, the Democratic sponsored law that made it legal for a minor under the age of 13 to get an abortion. That was one of the most absurd laws that have ever been passed! If that’s the kind of New Hampshire values she wants to stand up for, I cannot imagine why anyone would support her. Well thanks to the common sense of the Republicans in office, a minor will now have to have parental consent.

As far as Planned Parenthood is concerned, if Annie wants to support their abortion procedures, let her send them a check. Leave my tax dollars out of it! Ms. Kuster says she wants to stand up for our New Hampshire values and thriftiness when it comes to spending and as little government interference in our private lives as possible. Well, I would like to inform her that these ideas are not hers. They are word for word what the Republicans in office at the Statehouse and Washington have been fighting to accomplish. Maybe she should change her party and help us get it done. No more just talk and broken promises for us!
