Fosters daily democrat, Rod Doherty, NH executive council, Veterans US Military

Community Commentary response I love how the newspaper is filled with the opinion of the readers on mental illness and awareness. People can ask why all they want but it does no good if no one will hear what is said. People listen but do not hear. Newspapers censor opinion of the people the editors do not like or the editor’s say is a danger to the community. Jason and Sara want to put elderly housing units on RT 155a in Madbury across from knights garage. Someone in the audience brings up they do not want mentally ill subjects in their neighborhood. “Mental” just the word brings out the biased attitude to almost automatically deny the approval. Sylvie from Lee that wrote the Community Commentary talks about attitude but in Lee there is the Veteran Resort-Chapel for returning combat veterans with or without mental and/or physical disabilities to live rent free giving them a chance to re-adjust and come home if ever. The word mental brings the negative words to automatically make the Lee residents call the police and town office to stop or delay work on the property. I am a 100% disabled US Marine with three of my four disabilities combat related as the editors of the Fosters newspaper so clearly uses my disabilities to bring the negative attitude of their readers out. The Foster’s has written negative articles that bend the truth almost to a lie to cause hatred and rejection. The Foster’s refuses to print my response to such articles and they refuse to print my opinion letters of government wrongs. The ethical and moral obligation of the newspaper is to print the unbiased truth. There is no way to get other newspapers to print the truth because they watch each other’s backs. We come back from living in a world you that have never been there can conceive. Some one uses the word mental and even the US Military Veteran coming back is silently rejected from communities. The Fosters newspaper is a dangerous weapon as they censor the opinion of the readers on a biased level. The Veteran Resort-Chapel my wife used money she has been saving for the length of our 31-year marriage. Our children graduated College and this money was for us to travel and enjoy life. We bought eleven-acres at 101 Stepping Stone Rd Lee NH to build single person cabins for homeless and returning US Military Veterans to live in rent free for as long as it takes for them to come back. The Fosters reporter wrote a great article about the cabins as she mentioned that a disabled veteran was using a chain saw. The negative and hateful response just bogs me down. No one sees helping US Military Veterans only that a disabled veteran was using a chain saw. I set my pain aside to help Rick Stevens that volunteered his time and machine to clear the lot and remove the stumps. A US Marine Sgt always puts the welfare of his men first. I am disabled from my time serving in our military not dead. Trust me I am paying for helping at this very moment. This is a response of why to the Fosters Community Commentary that Sylvie M Butler of Lee NH wrote. It is the people’s God given right to speak freely that Rod Doherty of the Fosters Daily Democrat lost site of. With out public awareness and support our government officials work slowly or not at all. Helping US Military Veterans is the only reason for the Veteran Resort-Chapel to exist. I am a veteran helping Veterans asking for your support. Tell Mr. Doherty he is wrong. Peter Macdonald Sgt USMC Semper fi 465 Packers Falls Rd Lee NH 03824 603-781-3839
