In my dysfunctional family, there use to be a mindset that I could call my brother an asshole, but if someone from the outside called him one, it was on. Well a member of my other D family - the Democrats is pissing me off today.
There is a lovely article in the Nashua Telegraph (with pictures!) which features Governor Lynch helping a single mom and her son carry a turkey from the Food Bank to their apartment complex in Manchester.

This morning a bunch of members of the State Employees' Association, SEIU Local 1984, put food baskets together for the state workers who were (unnecessarily) laid off a few weeks ago. These were the Governor's employees. He was their boss. Sorry to say Lynch didn't show up to help these folks get their turkeys home. He didn't contribute to our Benevolent fund, which helps with the utility bills, rent, gasoline, etc, for these folks.
I understand that times are tough all over and that that mother and her son are also his constituents, but try to imagine how a laid off employee felt upon seeing that picture. I was there this morning and talked to a few people who were disheartened that Lynch hasn't once reached out to them and shown sympathy. He didn't go into the Employment Security office and come out with their checks.
He can do something.
For the first time ever, Operation Santa Claus, an SEA institution for over 40 years, has wish lists for the children of our own members rather than just the lists we get from DHHS offices.
I would like to challenge Governor and Dr. Lynch (and any other Democratic legislator for that matter) to ask for a wish list and shop for one of these children. This is a hell of a time of year to be out of work. The kids shouldn't have to go without holiday gifts and warm winter clothes.
Now, if any Republican has anything to say about this.. it's on like Donkey Kong!
