Most GOP bills have nothing to do with jobs or the economy

To the editor,

Here is a list of some of the 255 bills filed by current GOP legislators for the upcoming term: 1.A bill to form a state militia; 2. A bill to include a relevant phrase from the Magna Carta in new legislation (yes, really); 3. A bill to rebuild the Old Man of the Mountain; 3. A bill to allow everyone, without exception, to carry a gun; 4. A bill to ban abortion under all circumstances (even if the woman's health is in jeopardy); 5. A bill to push through the right- to-work (for less) agenda; 6. A bill to repeal marriage equality; 7. A bill to require random drug screening for food stamp recipients (costing N.H. $3 million per year); 8. A bill to repeal the Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative; 9. A bill to abolish the Department of Education; 10. A bill to repeal any home schooling oversight; 11. A bill to eliminate funding for Planned Parenthood.

Most of the bills filed have NOTHING to do with jobs or improving the economy. How are these bills helping N.H. families? Where are the bills for jobs?

Please go on to the N.H. General Court website to see the proposed bills for 2013. Keep in mind that Speaker O'Brien tried to conceal these bills from N.H. citizens. This Tea Party agenda is not the N.H. agenda. Please check who your senator/representative has affiliations with. Please vote the Democratic ticket to save us from two more years of this extremist agenda.
