New Hampshire Newspaper Posts neo-Nazi Letter - Don't be timid, GOP

The managing editor of the Concord Monitor and New Hampshire Patriot
, a newspaper in the state of New Hampshire should have exercised better editorial judgment and not published this hate speech.

The contributor, Allison Caldwell also makes many spelling/grammar mistakes.

Remember, a child or teenager will likely read or see this in print or on the internet (especially in web searches related to the Republican Party, or the history of the Nazi's for homework).

Letter
Don't be timid, GOP

With the new Republican dominance and leadership at the New Hampshire Legislature I might expect the former occupiers to act in a negative and vile manner. The Democrats' complaints over guns in the State House is one example. For year and years permitted gun owners carried at the State House. It was only with the Democratic Party surge in 2008 that the anti-gun carry law was passed to stop gun carry in the house of the people.

My disappointment with the Republicans, and it's an old story with them, is when they have the political power the people give them, they're timid in having the courage to use it. As a neo-Nazi I would certainly have rolled back as much of the culture-dissolving legislation as these new-day Bolsheviks* have been trying to perpetrate against our U.S. Constitution and the American people. Unfortunately, the Republican Party does a money calculation before it acts decisively on social and cultural issues. Roll back gay marriage; you have the power.

* NOTE:  During the days of the Cold War in the United Kingdom, labor union leaders and other leftists were sometimes derisively described as "Bolshie". The usage is roughly equivalent to the term "Commie", "Red" or "pinko" in the United States during the same period. Adolf Hitler, Joseph Goebbels and other Nazi leaders also used it.
 
ADVICE:  Ms. Caldwell, we urge you to seek therapy from a highly trained and qualified therapist!

Governor Steven Beshear responds to Kentucky Equality Federation

Before being appointed Managing Director of Marriage Equality Kentucky, Mr. Halyn Roth contacted Governor Steve Beshear as Kentucky Equality Federation's Southern Kentucky Regional Director about the Equality Bill currently beng considered in the Kentucky House and Senate.

The Bills are House Bill 106, House Bill 117, and Senate Bill 138.  Click here to sign the petition.

Commonwealth of Kentucky
Office of the Governor

Thank you for contacting me about Rep. Mary Lou Marzian's proposed statewide ban on discrimination with regard to housing, employment and credit. I appreciate knowing your perspective.

I believe that every person must be afforded equal rights and equal access to justice, regardless of their race, religion, gender, gender identity or sexual orientation. Just as I have done throughout my career in the public and private sector, as Governor I continue to oppose discrimination in all forms. For example, not long after taking office, I signed an executive order restoring equal opportunity employment to all state employees and prospective employees. Under the order, no state worker or applicant can be hired or fired based on race, age, religion, sexual orientation or gender identity, ancestry, disability or veteran status.

I hope that you will also let your state legislators and the legislative leadership know your thoughts in support of Rep. Marzian's bill, since any change in state law will first have to pass the House and Senate.

Thank you again for sharing your views. Please feel free to contact me whenever an issue is important to you.

Sincerely,

Steven L. Beshear

Our time is now. Act now!

The time has come to Kentucky to pass a law to prohibit terminations based on sexual orientation and gender identity.

In 1966, Kentucky became the 1st state in the South to pass a civil rights law. The Commonwealth also became the first in the south to establish enforcement powers over civil rights violations on a state level. The Kentucky Commission on Human Rights becomes the state enforcement authority of the Act.

What happened to us? At what point did our great Commonwealth lose its leadership in the area of civil rights?

Take action!  Act now!
