JEB BRADLEY COMMENTS ON VOTE ON BAIL OUT LEGISLATION 1st Congressional District Candidate Jeb Bradley released the following statement today on Congress's vote on the 700 Billion Dollar Bail Out Bill: "Now that Congress has voted against passing this bill, it is important that Congress not adjourn and stay in Washington DC and work until a solution is agreed upon. It is my hope that Congress will respond to this spreading credit crisis before it becomes a crisis of confidence in the American economy. This situation is critical for small businesses that need credit to keep running, for all Americans who depend on credit and their job security and for all retirees and anyone with a pension or 401k. As a former small business owner, I know any legislation has to protect and be fair to Main Street and working Americans, while holding Wall Street accountable. Unfortunately, this bill did not have enough provisions that satisfactorily address these concerns. Too many New Hampshire families have been working too hard, for too long, for too little to be footing the bill for the failures of Wall Street and Washington. Congress must find a way to pass a bill that works for America and provides a maximum benefit for taxpayers. We need a "work out" not a "bail out" to solve this. Possible avenues to improve the bill should be reform of accounting rules, full transparency of assets acquired and sold and strengthening of insurance provisions. Politics must be put aside for the sake of the people. We need leadership not partisanship. The efforts of our Senator, Judd Gregg, cannot go unnoticed. Working with the Democratic Majority, Senator Gregg worked hard to find a common ground. We look forward to his continued hard work and leadership. There is an opportunity for a bi-partisan solution and I ask that our Congressmen and women return to the table until one is approved."
Fosters - Veterans For Jeb Kick-Off Jeb Bradley stumps at Albacore Park for veterans' votes By CHARLES McMAHON In an effort to reach out to local veterans and their families, U.S. congressional candidate Jeb Bradley rallied the troops Monday afternoon with a family barbecue at Albacore Park. Despite the wet conditions, Bradley along with a handful of his constituent hopefuls, huddled beneath a small tree at the state park, not only enjoying a few burgers and refreshments, but also spreading the word on his continued support for veterans. "It doesn't matter how hard it's raining," Bradley told his followers as the rain continued to fall. The former congressman toured the state Monday, here as well as in Rochester, Manchester and Londonderry, in hopes of retaking the First District seat he lost in 2006. In front of the many veterans he deemed "intrepid souls," Bradley announced his plan to fight for their benefits and ensure them support from the Legislature. "I'll not only talk the talk, but I'll walk the walk when it comes to veterans," said Bradley. Whether it be those currently serving or those who have already given their time to the U.S. military, Bradley said he'll continue to fight for them and ensure their safety while in harm's way. Bradley referenced his past support of the creation of the Somersworth Outpatient Clinic as well as the emergency room at the Veterans Affairs Hospital in Manchester and said he'll continue to advocate similar benefits if elected. "They expect someone who will stand behind the troops that are in harm's way, as well as fight for the veterans' health care system," he said. Vietnam veteran Roland Patnode was on hand Monday afternoon and said his longtime friend's return to Congress "has been a long time coming." "The veterans need him back," said Patnode. Capt. Ed Johnson of the Pease Greeters was also on hand for the event and said Bradley is the right person for the job when it comes to supporting veterans. "He's got the know-how to courageously defend troops both past and present," said Johnson. Despite the rain, Bradley stood his followers and not only listened to their stories, but took note of their concerns. With a summer full of campaigning ahead of him, Bradley said he looks forward to bringing his grassroots platform to each of the 80 communities he hopes to represent. "The sun's going to shine on November 4th," he asserted.
Fosters - Legion Gives DesRosiers Heartfelt Tribute By ROBERT M. COOK Gary DesRosiers, the outgoing state commander of the Sons of the American Legion, can definitely relate on some level to the challenges faced by returning combat veterans who have lost limbs and sometimes hope. DesRosiers shared some details of how he has had to rise above some of his recent health problems during his testimonial Saturday evening at the American Legion Post 7. Four years ago, DesRosiers told American Legion members, he had serious abdominal surgery and then more surgery within the past year. "It likely left me with some major complications that I will be dealing with for the rest of my life," DesRosier said. "But when the going gets tough, the tough get going." DesRosiers never let his own health problems deter him from completing his chosen project when he assumed command of the New Hampshire Detachment of the Sons of the American Legion in June 2007. He wanted to raise money for a national program called the Wounded Warriors Project to help returning Iraq war and Afghanistan veterans from New Hampshire who need prosthetic limbs and counseling to heal from the battlefield and lead productive lives. Before his testimonial began, DesRosiers said he had raised $6,500 and hoped to continue raising funds through the end of his one-year term in June. Several American Legion officials who took the podium to congratulate DesRosiers for his selfless work gave him envelopes containing checks of as much as $200 each to go toward his project. DesRosiers said the project matters so much to these men and women who have made so many sacrifices in the war on terrorism, as well as to their families. He said many returning veterans who do not get into the project end up committing suicide, or addicted to drugs and alcohol and homeless. Besides helping these veterans with new prosthetic arms or legs, DesRosiers said the project "gives them a new reason to live." Several speakers commended DesRosiers for his efforts as state commander and expressed some regret that he chose to step down as state commander. "It's been great working with you over the many years we've worked together," said American Legion Department Commander Chuck Lewis. "It's hard to believe it's coming to an end." New Hampshire State Veterans Cemetery Director Roger DesJardins also presented DesRosiers with a gift from the staff at the Boscawen cemetery, along with a heartfelt compliment. "My wife, Barbara, and I were blessed with two beautiful daughters, and if we were to have a son, he would be just like Gary," DesJardins said. Former Republican New Hampshire Congressman Jeb Bradley said "a grateful nation" is thankful for the service DesRosiers provided to the country and New Hampshire veterans. "Gary, you're a great friend and a great American," said Bradley, who lost his bid for re-election in November 2006 to incumbent Democratic New Hampshire Congresswoman Carol Shea-Porter, of Rochester. DesRosiers later returned Bradley's compliment by pledging his support for Bradley's bid to win back his seat in November. He noted that Bradley helped pass numerous bills in the U.S. House of Representatives that helped New Hampshire veterans and their families. "I need you, we need you and, most importantly, our military needs you. Godspeed, my friend," DesRosiers told Bradley. American Legion Post 7 Commander Rolande Patnode also presented DesRosiers with a citation from Gov. John Lynch thanking him for his service. Before the testimonial, Patnode also extended high praise to his friend and fellow Legion officer. "Gary is the type of guy when he shines, he makes everyone else shine," Patnode said. "He does everything from the heart, not for monetary gain or recognition. Gary gives 120 percent." Before the testimonial, DesRosiers said he is still the general manager of the American Legion Post 7 and a 25-year member of the Sons of the American Legion at the Rochester post. He said he is not sure what his future plans will be after he ends his year as state commander in June.
