Seacoast online, Portsmouth herald, Fosters daily democrat, Rod Doherty Dover NH

Seacoast online I am not depressed but disappointed that the Seacoast Sunday paper did not have a story about my run for NH State Senate. I am sure that there is good reason but my hope was people would read it with time relaxing on a Sunday to learn that may be I am not the bad person that Editor Rod Doherty of the Fosters (I heard) is telling others that I am. It is strange that in a place of Freedom of the Press one side of a story is only told. How do you break the news to a world that just cannot accept the mind of a US Military Veteran and worse than that a qualified US Marine? We see things differently for where we have been but we still have hope to come home to where you’ll are at some time. More important than anything (to me) is that I wanted others to hear about the Veteran Resort-Chapel to house homeless and Mentally/Physically disabled US Military Veterans free of charge to help them come home if ever. It was told to me that Rod Doherty of the Fosters is telling others that my speaking of the purchase of eleven-acres at 101 Stepping Stone Rd Lee NH is just an election ploy. The damage false information especially by an editor that is trusted by the people can have on the mind of a 100% disabled US Military Veteran is astronomical. Lies hurt the homeless Veteran just like “in Country” does. A Veteran Resort-Chapel where 12’x24’ single person cabins are scattered about the woods so those coming home from war can adjust at their own pace. A place with paths for these homeless disabled to walk to find God or any other help to see back here is the same as when we left, it is we that see it differently. Places were they could sit alone on the waters edge to listen to mother nature in the safety of the USA eliminating “there” from our minds. A place close enough to businesses and other social interaction so if we want we can integrate at our own pace to re-enter a society alien to us if ever in our attempt to come home. My dream in this election was to have the same chance as the one running against me for the voters to have a clear unbiased choice. I know that it is a long shot that voters would want some one like me in office. The fact that I have volunteered in schools, community, State helping others almost every day since coming back to the world “USA” from the Vietnam Conflict some editor’s still have their readers believing the danger exists. My dream of helping US Military Veterans has and will be on my mind always and is no election year ploy. Newspapers continue through silence or innuendo (manipulation of the truth) support the danger of not just my presents in the USA but all those US Military Veterans trying to come back but left to die homeless on the street. My wife and I put our life savings up plus mortgaged our home to the hilt to help other US Military Veterans not go through what the VA has done to Vietnam Veterans in the past. I cannot make newspapers print opinion letters like this one. Freedom of the Press means it is there choice. I only hope that they some day realize the harm (if it is true) that the trusted words of editor’s like Rod can have on the homeless US Military Veterans.
