Republicans Lost Their Voice?
It might appear the Senate Republican Majority, which operates the "unofficial" Senate blog, senatesite.com, was so involved in posting long stories and pictures memorializing the Legislature's recent trip to China, they forgot to pay the bill to maintain the Internet domain.

A click on the site today gets a message that the rights to the domain have expired and it will be back up shortly.

But Senate aide Rick Cantrell says the disappearance of the site was not due to stupidity. Honest.

Cantrell is in the process of transferring administration duties for the site from a New York company to a local company. During the transfer, the site had to cease for about 10 hours. Therefore, no "What I did for my summer vacation in China" stories today.

Cheers,
Paul Rolly

I have checked the account for the domain senatesite.com it shows that it was renewed on 6-22-07 the problem was the communication between the registrar. Not to the error of the senators or their staff.

C'mon Paul - you and I both know how much you loved those China reports, especially The Squatter.

Sorry to disappoint your source; stupidity is probably not beyond us, but I'm glad we're not guilty of it today.

Thanks to Shaun and the BlueHost Tech Squadron for fixing the problem.

Is Violence necessary 8-25-07
Peter Macdonald 465 Packersfalls rd Lee NH 03824 603-659-6217
When is violence the legal means to end government crimes. No Branch of government will obey the law. To stop my free speech my veteran’s medical care has been stopped for injuries that I received in the line of duty. I completed my tour during the Vietnam Conflict after 31 months over seas coming home with three separate disabilities. NH Veterans Director Mark Levenston has stopped my VA medical because Congress woman Shea-Porter wants him to (Dover police file 7002-942). NH judge Peter Fauver violated the Constitution many times to inflict pain and suffering intentionally on individuals for self gain. The NH Supreme court refuses to hear a case that questions the integrity of the NH courts. (case 2003-0477) The NH State government rallies to protect Fauver. The NH state police are used to harass my wife at work and home. Because all these criminal government actions did not stop my volunteer helping a Madbury NH family since 1999 my VA medical is stopped. The United States Government is here to protect the people not their own dominate power. The news media aids this criminal action by censoring the truth. I have not violated a law or threatened anyone. The government and courts fill the news with lies to destroy my character in the public eye. I have volunteer help others over 1000hours/year since I came back 100% disabled from my Marine Corps tour. The VFW and American Legion refuse to help me. The Veterans inspector general says he will look into it but my medical has been stopped for over 6 months now. I live in a world where at any time my mind takes me back to my first kill. I live in constant pain. In public I may look normal. My commander and chief refuse to help. President Bush (whom did not have the balls to full fill his obligations) knowingly allows my medical to be stopped. Should I kill judges and government officials? Has all means go redress of grievances stopped? Does not article 10 Part first of the NH const. tell me to do this? I can not tell the truth any clearer. I went to the VA clinic in March with serious head pain and numbness on the left side of my face. Now at any moment I loose all strength in my left arm. I was forced to leave with no care. This is an injury that I received during my tour. Is it legal for the government officials to violate the same laws that we the people must obey. I have clearly explained a dreadful situation that some day the news media will write an article asking “Why we (the news) did not see this action coming? I volunteer because I came back alive, I wish that I was killed instead of killing because if New Hampshire can do this to a disabled veteran what I killed for does not exist. I volunteer to help people I will not be violent.
