NATIONAL POLICIES 1. What do you see as the three m,ost important national policies that you will adress if you become a member of Congress? 1a.EDUCATION FUNDING The Presidents' "Leave no Child Behind" act places even more pressue on New Hampshire's Education Funding system. How will you work on the State's behalf? What about Special Education Funding? 1b. HEALTH CARE Affordable health care is a huge issue in New Hampshire. There is no competition among health care providers and the uninsured have an especially difficult burden to carry with huge single payer premiums. Can the federal government help allegviate this problem? Prescription drug costs are also rising. If they were in Congress now, how would they be voting on the present bills now under consideration? 1c. HOMELAND SECURITY What are their thoughts on homeland security? Should the Federal Government provide state's with more support? 2.FRESHMAN CONGRESSMAN Can you think of an example of leadership that would lead you to believe that if you go to Washington as a freshman Congressman, you can further your platform ideas? 3. DIFFERENT FROM BASS How are you different from Congresssman Bass? 4.TRACTION WITH VOTERS What ideas of yours have the most traction with NH voters? 5. DEBATE Will you debate your opponent before the primary? 6.HUMOR A lot of people say humor goes a long way in helping a person stay sane. Can you think of the last time you couldn't stop laughing?

| Newsbrief Return to index of stories... |
Finally, here's a brief look at the news. |
| Wall Street Return to index of stories... |
It was a miserable Friday and week for the markets. The Dow ended just above the eight-thousand mark following a 400 point sell-off late in the session. A combination of things sent buyers running for the exits: disappointing earnings outlooks, corporate scandals and a general sense that the light at the end of the tunnel may have gone out. |
| Beef Recall Return to index of stories... |
U-S agriculture officials have issued another ground beef recall. ConAgra Beef is recalling 19 million pounds of the meat. Two weeks ago, the company recalled over 300 thousand pounds, including meat from Sam's Club here in New Hampshire. The hamburger meat has been linked to 16 illnesses caused by E. Coli bacteria. E. Coli can cause digestive illnesses -- and even death. Cooking meat to 160 degrees kills the bacteria. Officials are trying to figure out how consumers in 21 states can identify whether their meat is part of that recall, so they can return it to stores or throw it out. |
