| Clark SOT Return to index of stories... |
" I believe there are few things more important to a person's dignity, to a family's security, and to our nation's prosperity than the chance to engage in honest labor and to earn a decent living doing it. That is why we need to do whatever is necessary to create jobs and restart America's economic engines. Last month, I detailed my proposals to do just that, by reducing the tax cuts Mr Bush gave to the richest Amerticans, we can invest the savaings in, number one, funding jobs that improve our homeland security, number tow, giving fiscal relief to states so that they don;t have to increase tuition and property taxes, and number 3, creating a new job creation tax credit that willreduce the cost for a business to hire a new employee. |
| Intro Partial Birth Abortion Return to index of stories... |
Partial Birth Abortions -- made news this week. The Senate voting on Tuesday to BAN the procedure. The House did the same 3 weeks ago. Both New Hampshire's Republican senators voted FOR the ban. |
| Partial Birth Abortion Return to index of stories... |
Gregg 50:19:05 - Well first off people have to understand what it it. It's the taking of a life of a child in the final term. Very near birth. And it basically means that you take you take the child out of the womb alive. A child that can live and then basically terminate the child's life. It's a barbaric procedure. Doctor Frist the only doctor in the senate describes it as barbaric and totally inappropriate to persue. And it is outside the issue of abortion rights because it's outside the second trimester because its in the third trimester. So it's not an issue in any way on cuting back the rights of women to have abortions. Which is a right you have under the constitution. But it is an issue of protecting the child and basically not having a procedure thats barbaric being used in our country. 51:11:22 1:07:13 Not everyone is going to agree on every issue but if you look at the public support and the bipartisan majorities in the house and the senate. And the people who have looked in a very thoughtful way at this issue as to whether this is a procedure that was justified or necessary. They came to the same conclusion. It's not something that we can do and should do and the president is going to sign the legislation. 1:07:37 |
| Partial Birth Discuss Return to index of stories... |
Abortion rights advocates have promised to pursue an injunction to BLOCK the legislation. Q Has the issue of Abortion or Partial birth abortion come up on the campaign trail or has it been a non-issue to date?? q Are we likely to see it surface? |
| Casino Gambling in Maine Return to index of stories... |
The politics of GAMBLING another hot topic.as the state of MAINE decides the fate of a proposed Indian Casino in less than 2 weeks.. A proposed amendment to the Indian Gaming Act will come before voters November 4th. Tribal leaders want to build a casino in Sanford Maine and have optioned land for the project. It's a MAJOR issue in the state of Maine - with serious implications for the state of New Hampshire especially the seacoast area. Q What's your read on where voters stand on this one? I keep hearing its going to be close vote? |
| UNH Follow up Return to index of stories... |
Last Thursday,about 2500 people flooded into downtown Durham following the Red Sox loss to the Yankees. It's the 3rd serious disturbance in Durham this year - 9 people were arrested. And, the fall out continues. Earlier this week, 8 UNH hockey players were benched for ignoring their coach’s order to stay away from downtown. Sunday, The UNH Student Senate convenes to consider resolutions condemning the behavior of hockey players and other student who allegedly participated. They'll also debate a resolution against the use of excessive force by police. This follows a suggestion by a town councilor that police look into using fire hoses to control downtown riots. Q the story that won't go away. How is this being perceived in Concord? Q Coach's actions warranted? |
| Is Grady In or Out Return to index of stories... |
Finally, The World Series moves to New York for Game 6 Saturday night. The Florida Marlins hold a 3-to-2 series lead over the Yankees. The Boston Herald reports that it's likely the Red Sox WON'T be picking up their option on manager Grady Little. An annoncement is expected as early as Monday. Grady's decision to keep Pedro Martinez on the mound when the hits kept coming cost him a lot of FAN support. The Red Sox of course lost to the Yankees. So what do you think guys - Grady.is he IN or OUT? Kevin we'll start with you. |
