A Message from Granny D:So many of the problems we face, from an unnecessary war to a mismanaged federal budget (which impacts health care, schools, Social Security and the nation's real security needs) directly derive from the influence of special interest groups in Washington. I have walked long and worked hard to help clean up the system from the outside. Now please help send me into the lion's den to work for fundamental reform and the interests of the people of New Hampshire and of America, and not the insurance companies and not the oil companies and not the defense contractors and lobbyists. And in getting to that victory in this campaign, let's see what kind of a campaign we can create without special interest PAC donations, but instead with truth, energy and fun. If you have had it with politics-as-usual, there is no stronger statement you can make than to vote for a 94 year-old woman. I am not just a "none of the above" vote (although I am indeed that!), I will actually work to create a wave of change when I am elected. But, win or lose, your vote will be a shot across the bow of the old system that no longer represents us. --Doris "Granny D" Haddock
