I got this e-mail from a friend who wanted to let me know what she has said to her current representative. Thought I'd pass it on.

Hello, I am one of your constituents. My name is Maria Belva and I live on Sand Hill Rd in Peterborough. I have a couple of things I need to discuss.
I don't understand why you are taking away the ability of the Health and Human Services Dept. to contract with Planned Parenthood.
Do you understand that Planned Parenthood provides much needed health care services for low income women in our state?
They provide routine gynecological services, including pap smears, for women. They also provide birth control on a sliding fee scale.
Do you realize how important these services are?
I for one am still alive today because of a pap smear provided by Planned Parenthood. I had cervical carcinoma in situ-it was caught early and I was treated. I have three children who would have been orphaned had it not been detected.
Can you please tell me why you have it in for Planned Parenthood? And what does it have to do with creating jobs in New Hampshire?
Another issue-why are you wasting time worrying about same sex couples who wish to marry? When has any same sex couple taken away jobs? How do they keep anyone from affording health care? What has this got to do with balancing a budget?
One more, if you please. Why would you think that music and the arts should not be considered essential curriculum in our schools? By treating these subjects as not necessary, how are you improving the education of New Hampshire children?
