U.S. Senator Hillary Clinton (D-NY) and U.S. Senator Barack Obama (D-IL) are asking their supporters to take action - and they don't (just) mean phonebanking or canvassing. They're asking for folks to give back directly to their communities.

Through Thanksgiving, the Clinton campaign will collect food for those in need this holiday season.

During Thanksgiving week and through the end of November, the campaign will deliver food and other items collected to shelters and pantries throughout the state.

“Serving the ‘least of these’ in our communities is the ultimate contribution to the common good. We are all blessed when we join together to offer a helping hand,” said Senator Clinton. “I am heartened that my campaign is joining with the people of New Hampshire in lifting up our fellow Americans in need as we enter the holiday season.”

John Edwards at the Iowa SEIU endorsement on October 15th, 2007

It is my great pleasure to announce that John Edwards has won the endorsement of the Service Employees International Union (SEIU) here in New Hampshire. This is a major victory for our campaign because the New Hampshire SEIU represent over 10,000 New Hampshire workers, most of whom are state employees.

On Saturday, 75 members of the carpenters union loaded up their cars and drove down to Nashua to show their support for John Edwards. Nothing could have demonstrated organized labor's strong commitment to John Edwards more than the sight of 75 carpenters standing out in the rain, knocking on doors and doing their part to ensure that John Edwards is our next President.

More than any candidate in history, John Edwards has demonstrated his commitment to organized labor by "walking the walk" and helping workers across the country in organizing drives, contract fights and on the picket line.

Jeanne Shaheen to Run for U.S. Senate

Will Discuss Her Decision Sunday at Her Madbury Home

MADBURY – Former Gov. Jeanne Shaheen announced today that she is leaving her current post at Harvard’s Kennedy School of Government to run for the U.S. Senate. She has served as Director of the Institute of Politics for the past two years.

“I’ve stepped down from my position at the Kennedy School of Government because we have major problems facing this country, and there is an urgent need for real change in Washington,” Shaheen said. “We’ve proven in New Hampshire that we can work together to get things done. I want to take that common-sense approach to Washington and help get this country moving in the right direction.”

Jay Buckey has continued (in the opinion of this biased staffer) leading the Senate field in policy ideas and understanding by releasing 3 new policy perspectives, covering a broad range of topics.  These papers include exciting features such as "actual research," "critical thinking," "real statistics," and even "citations."  Unorthodox, yes, but we believe that you'll like it.  You can see them all as well as videos on the issues at buckey08.com/issues,  and I have provided direct links to the three specific papers below.

Energy

Iraq

Global Trade

Buckey sent a letter to supporters a few minutes ago announcing the new papers.  Here's the text:

Sen. Mike Gravel Rails Against Drug War, Says Marijuana Less Harmful than Liquor

Pembroke, NH (June 12) – An interview with former Alaska senator and presidential hopeful Mike Gravel will be broadcast today by the National Organization for the Reform of Marijuana Laws (NORML) on their daily podcast. Previously, Matt Simon from the New Hampshire Coalition for Common Sense Marijuana Policy (NH Common Sense) appeared on Monday’s show to discuss SendTheRightMessage.com, the group’s new project to promote anti-prohibitionist ideas through the presidential primary process. Audio of Monday’s interview with Simon is available at normlaudiostash.com, and today’s show with Gravel will become available late this afternoon.

This appearance by Gravel comes on the heels of two recent public appearances in New Hampshire at which he spoke out against the War on Marijuana. In the Spin Room following the June 5 Democratic debate at St. Anselm’s College, Gravel compared the nation’s current War on Drugs to Alcohol Prohibition: “Is there an American alive who doesn’t know that Prohibition did nothing but criminalize this country in the 20’s? The addiction problem is a public health problem; it’s not a criminal problem.” He added that of all the currently illegal drugs, marijuana in particular is less harmful than liquor.

Presidential Candidate Congressman Dennis Kucinich returns to New Hampshire May 19th to address the Stop the Sale Rally organized by the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers, Local 2320, and the Communication Workers of America, Local 1400. If the sale of Verizon landlines to Fairpoint Communications of North Carolina goes through, there is the risk of loss of three thousand union jobs, lower quality of communication services, a worsening of the digital divide, and less competition among providers which could effect rates paid by consumers. Union members from throughout New England and state and local AFL-CIO’s will be supporting the rally scheduled for 10:30 in Prescott Park in Portsmouth. Kucinich, a union member himself, has a 100% AFL-CIO ranking. He has been an outspoken critic of the consolidation of money upward through recent tax changes, and the CAFTA and WTO agreements, which as President he would cancel. Later the same day Kucinich will be in Portland, Maine.

The NH Young Democrats will host a happy hour with Congressman Dennis Kucinich this Saturday, and all are invited to attend. There is no fee to participate- we look forward to meeting you!
