Biased News Reporting 6-02-08

The news media has gone out of it’s way to harm my character in the public eye. People: I announced that I am running for NH State Senate district 21 and the news tells of other candidates running but ignores my words. Do the public have a right to know whom is running for public office. Does the news media have a right because they are privately owned companies to inform the public of only the people they believe are note worthy running for office.

I write a letter every day telling of wrongs in our government that harm the people. The News media refuse to print my opinion letters because they are a privately owned companies and they do not like my opinion. An editor in the paper today talked about the internet and how it does not carry the news. The internet carries peoples opinion of what is happening and the newspapers can not stop the peoples words because of the public’s access. That is news that is not censored Believe it or not my letters are carried across the USA. People from across the U.S. read my letters and many call me. I do not hide behind false statements in my letters. If the Rose is red, I have no problem telling you that no matter what the consequences are. Truth and honesty with the people are my goal. I am a disabled Veteran. I suffer with a head injury which can at times cripple me. I suffer with a broken back which at times cripples me. I suffer with nerve damage in both ears which at times can bring silence into my world. I have since I came back to the USA “world” suffered with flash-backs to times during my convoys as an American Advisor across Thailand, Laos and Cambodia delivering surplus supplies to friendly camps. The fact that I was injured defending this great nation gives the news media the right to silence my opinion? I have written about my desire since I came back in 74 to kill my self. Do the people have a right to know the truth. I like many Veterans came back to a “world” that we do not belong.

I give the Concord Monitor and Ray Deckler credit because they after 8 years of my letter writing decided to check my facts, because the copy editor thought there “might be a story in it” or “was I just Looney”? The article ran on May 28 “He’s making his case, day by day” The article told the good and bad of me. It was the truth so I appreciated the honesty and unbiased reporting. They found that I am an average person.

You the people have a right to be informed of the truth. Some people may not like my letters. Some people say my letters are to repetitive. Some people believe my facts are to outrageous to be true. Most people appreciate my honesty. The People have a right to the unedited opinion that exposes the wrongs in government. The editor may not believe facts but is it his job to censor the truth. The fact is from the NH governor to judges, state and local police and the Strafford county sheriff have violated our Constitution to intentionally harm the people. Do you know why I can openly say this, because it is the truth. Our government and the Veterans Administration have violated the law to stop me but I do not quit. The News media refuse to inform the people but I continue. I am a United States Marine and I place our country USA above every thing else including my life and comfort.
