Jeanne Shaheen Honored Dr. King and will be a great Senator

Here is the text of my recent letter to NH Newspapers.  I am a volunteer for the campaign.


Jeanne Shaheen helped us to honor Martin Luther King Jr.

During this time honoring  Martin Luther King, we need to be cognizant of the long fought battle to end our embarrassing standing as the last state recognizing this important holiday.

The holiday was first proposed in the New Hampshire legislature in 1979, but it took until Governor Shaheen's second term to finally put the day into law.  In her second inaugural address, Jeanne Shaheen said, "we must not end this century without making Martin Luther King Day part of the heritage we leave our children".  She lived up to that statement and signed the law in June, 1999.

Governor Jeanne Shaheen stood for right, stood for children, stood for us.  As Senator, this good woman will continue to fight for the under represented and the civil rights Dr. King gave his life for.

Senator Jeanne Shaheen will look out for the citizens of New Hampshire, not the Republican Party line.

Senator Shaheen will support our Democratic President beginning in 2009.

The Shaheen campaign is in the first steps of organizing a state and local volunteer's network and can use all of our help.  This will not be an easy fight against an incumbent, no matter what we Democrats think of John Sununu.

If you agree that Jeanne Shaheen is the best qualified to represent this state, please volunteer or at a minimum let the campaign know you're there to call upon when things get rolling.

I've already volunteered, won't you?
Jeanne Shaheen for Senate
