Trading Ideas
Port cities are fascinating. Throughout history, even to the most ancient times. Port cities entertain all kinds of people.
As trade ports, many great business people with high moral standards necessarily frequent them. Many conniving, traitorous and letcherous people also come to see who they might take advantage of. Many people live there, but many people just stop there to buy and sell.
In the same way as merchants, public office holders and political candidates must sell their ideas and policies. Some in their own neighborhoods, some must travel to promote their message.
Political ports are everywhere around the country for national candidates, but there are certain places that could be considered major. Ohio, New Hampshire and the Carolinas are pretty high on the list of must visit places for presidential candidates.
In New Hampshire, our local and state political candidates frequent the transfer stations. This is where they can meet people and talk about the issues that matter to them. They also hold events at town halls and restaurants where they talk about issues important to the local audiences.
The job of constituents is to find out how the candidates will vote in the real world of legislation and regulations that affect people’s lives. Citizen advocacy groups are especially focused on finding out how candidates will vote. This is an extremely important responsibility. Candidates become office holders and they become lawmakers.
When it comes to the right to life for New Hampshire citizens, I will be asking candidates where they stand, will you?
