FW: FW: Melanie Tamburello LTE School Board
Melanie Tamburello for School Board
Our school experiences with Moose Hill, Matthew Thornton, and North School have been incredible, and I want to be a part of keeping that experience and our schools exceptional. I am a North School PTA member. My children are involved with soccer and lacrosse outside of school. This year I brought in Ski and Snowboard Club to the elementary school level and coordinated the North School Group. All relationships I have forged within the schools have been positive. I feel I have a vested interest in the success of the Londonderry school system and am excited at the prospect of serving on the School Board.
I have three children, one at North School, one at Moose Hill and one entering pre-school in the fall at KBC. Currently, I am a stay at home parent. My past work includes being an office manager for a multi-million dollar business, my duties included accounting, managing a small staff, customer relations, inter business relations and insurance work. I have also worked for the US Census Bureau as an Office Operations Supervisor. I managed all incoming and outgoing paperwork, was an overseer for data entry, supervised over 200 employees inside and outside the office. My organizational and innovative style was recognized and I was sent to the after-action committee for the Census Bureau to provide input on future Census procedures.
I feel my time on the School Board would be well spent serving a community my family and I have lived in since 2006. We moved to Londonderry with a two and a half year old son, knowing that when the time came to start school, Londonderry had an exceptional school system. I grew up in a school system very similar to Londonderry. Education expectations of staff and pupils were high. The two high schools were annually ranked highly in the state and had varied classes and college level offerings, which were cutting edge in the 1990s. I have also had the opportunity to live in a variety of places around the world and see different educational systems and how they work. I have seen many different formulas for exceptional education, and will bring that diverse and new perspective to the table if elected to school board.
I view the schools as a system and have the experience to bring innovation to facilitate the school's needs. I have the accounting and payroll background to make the numbers work, and I possess the interpersonal skills to work on the School Board as a team member. I am ready to fight for the needs of the children to ensure their education is tops. If elected to School Board, I will have no other local government commitment and can focus my energy toward the School Board's priorities. If elected I welcome parents, tax payers, and school employees to be in contact with me directly.
I humbly ask for your consideration on Election Day.

EXAMPLE BALLOT OF MY RECOMENDATIONS OF VOTING DOWN SPENDING ITEMS THAT RAISE YOUR PROPERTY TAXES
WE MADE MAJOR CUTS IN CONCORD ON THE BUDGET, TO PROTECT THE TAXPAYERS AND I AM VOTING NO ON ALL ARTICLES ON THE SCHOOL AND TOWN ELECTIONS THAT RAISE OUR PROPERTY TAXES!!!
Enough is Enough!
Fellow Residents,
On March 13, please exercise your constitutional right to vote on town & school spending bills which will raise your property taxes 3 to 4 hundred dollars the 1st year, then a few hundred more the 2nd and 3rd year. As I stated before, if you have deep pockets, God Bless you! Many seniors and families are hurting financially with people out of work, almost losing their homes and more kids qualifying for the free lunch program. Let us not forget the many more residents using the food pantry, fuel assistance, receiving food stamps to survive, and hoping that the economy and jobs get better. My vote against the articles that raise your property taxes has nothing against the Fire department, Teachers or school and town employees who provide a great service but there is a time when you have to vote with your wallet and just say "stop the spending".
Many people are stepping up to be part of the Londonderry school/town government to help make a difference in ensuring that our quality of life does not drop and our kids are not just getting an "Adequate education" but like Melanie Tamburello said, "A great education". I will be supporting the re-election of Councilor Sean O’Keefe, one who is a long time resident and in my opinion is a "tell it like it is" kind a person. He has proven himself as the Chairman where his loyalty, dedication, integrity and knowledge are second to none. You know where he stands on issues facing Londonderry and he does not think twice in calling me on legislation that could affect us all.
I personally want to thank Glenn Douglas; your common sense approach when questioning the school board definitely makes a difference to all of us. You show up to more meetings than anyone in our town, to speak up for or against issues, which is a push toward transparency in our government. Melanie Tamburello who is a member of the PTA, a mother with 3 kids with a financial business management background, wants to ensure that our school district has a new set of eyes in ensuring that our kids are 2nd to none in competing with other countries in the future. We are fortunate to finally have someone educated with an Accounting background to ensure that the town is accountable to the people when signing those checks. Adriana Komst Integrity & Loyalty is above and beyond, one who has been in town for many years, works as a financial/accounting manager and in my opinion will be a major asset to the town when it comes to accountability to the taxpayers.
In closing, I hope to see you at the polls where I will be voting for new voices on the School Board, Melanie Tamburello & Glenn Douglas. I will be voting to reelect Chairman Sean O’Keefe and Adriana Komst, because I personally know they will look out for your best interest and at the same time work hand in hand with your state legislators to ensure we are on the same sheet of music. If you do not vote, do not complain that your property taxes have taken food off your table.
LESS SPENDING, means LESS TAXES!

Endorsement of Governor Rick Perry
After many days of reviewing and meeting many of the Republican candidates, I am very motivated and very impressed with Governor Rick Perry’s enthusiasm, tell it like it is mentality and his can do attitude.
I have viewed his record, while I don’t agree with on a couple of decisions, but of hundreds that he has made, Governor Rick Perry does have a very impressive record in taking care of Veterans, Businesses and jobs. His less taxes mentality in Texas have attracted many to his state.
I believe that many off his Texas accomplishments would be an asset for our country and the Governor has an great record to stand on.
Rick Perry was a Pilot in the Air Force for 11 years. OOH RAH!!!
Without hesitation, I Enthusiastically Endorse Rick Perry for President!

20 Questions to ask if you think the Economic Cricis Over
From: Dick Marple
Sent: Saturday, July 02, 2011 7:45 PM
To:
Subject: 20 Questions to ask if you think the Economic Crisis is Over
If you know someone that is foolish enough to believe that the economic crisis is over and that our economic problems are behind us, just ask that person the following questions....
#1 During the 23 months of the "Obama recovery", an average of about 23,000 jobs a month have been created. It takes somewhere in the neighborhood of 150,000 jobs a month just to keep up with population growth. So shouldn't we hold off a bit before we declare the economic crisis to be over?
#2 During the "recession", somewhere between 6.3 million and 7.5 million jobs were lost. During the "Obama recovery", approximately 535,000 jobs have been added. When will the rest of the jobs finally come back?
#3 Of the 535,000 jobs that have been created during the "Obama recovery", only about 35,000 of them are permanent full-time jobs. Today, "low income jobs" account for 41 percent of all jobs in the United States. If our economy is recovering, then why can't it produce large numbers of good jobs that will enable people to provide for their families?
#4 Agricultural commodities have been absolutely soaring this decade. The combined price of cotton, wheat, gasoline and hogs is now more than 3 times higher than it was back in 2002. So how in the world can the Federal Reserve claim that inflation has been at minimal levels all this time?
#5 Back in 2008, banks had a total of 27 billion dollars in excess reserves at the Fed. Today, banks have a total of approximately 1.5 trillion dollars in excess reserves at the Fed. So what is going to happen when all of this money eventually hits the economy?....
#6 If the U.S. economy is recovering, then why are shipments by U.S. factories still substantially below 2008 levels?
#7 Why are imports of goods from overseas growing much more rapidly than shipments of goods from U.S. factories?
#8 According to Zillow, the average price of a home in the U.S. is about 8 percent lower than it was a year ago and that it continues to fall about 1 percent a month. During the first quarter of 2011, home values declined at the fastest rate since late 2008. So can we really talk about a "recovery" when the real estate crisis continues to get worse?
#9 According to a shocking new survey, 54 percent of Americans believe that a housing recovery is "unlikely" until at least 2014. So how is the housing industry supposed to improve if so many people are convinced that it will not?
#10 The latest GDP numbers out of Japan are a complete and total disaster. During the first quarter GDP declined by a stunning 3.7 percent. Of course I have been saying for months that the Japanese economy is collapsing, but most mainstream economists were absolutely stunned by the latest figures. So will the rest of the world be able to avoid slipping into a recession as well?
#11 Next week, Republicans in the House of Representatives are going to allow a vote on raising the debt ceiling. Everyone knows that this is an opportunity for Republican lawmakers to "look tough" to their constituents (the vast majority of which do not want the debt ceiling raised). Everyone also knows that eventually the Republicans are almost certainly going to cave on the debt ceiling after minimal concessions by the Democrats. The truth is that neither "establishment Republicans" nor "establishment Democrats" are actually serious about significantly cutting government debt. So why do we need all of this political theater?
#12 Why are so many of our once great manufacturing cities being transformed into hellholes? In the city of Detroit today, there are over 33,000 abandoned houses, 70 schools are being permanently closed down, the mayor wants to bulldoze one-fourth of the city and you can literally buy a house for one dollar in the worst areas.
#13 According to one new survey, about half of all Baby Boomers fear that when they retire they are going to end up living in poverty. So who is going to take care of them all when the money runs out?
#14 According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, an average of about 5 million Americans were being hired every single month during 2006. Today, an average of about 3.5 million Americans are being hired every single month. So why are our politicians talking about "economic recovery" instead of "the collapse of the economy" when hiring remains about 50 percent below normal?
#15 Since August, 2 million more Americans have left the labor force. But the entire period from August to today was supposed to have been a time of economic growth and recovery. So why are so many Americans giving up on looking for a job?
#16 According to Gallup, 41 percent of Americans believed that the economy was "getting better" at this time last year. Today, that number is at just 27 percent. Are Americans losing faith in the U.S. economy?
#17 According to the U.S. Census, the number of children living in poverty has gone up by about 2 million in just the past 2 years, and one out of every four American children is currently on food stamps. During this same time period, Barack Obama and Ben Bernanke have told us over and over that the U.S. economy has been getting better. So what is the truth?
#18 America has become absolutely addicted to government money. 59 percent of all Americans now receive money from the federal government in one form or another. U.S. households are now receiving more income from the U.S. government than they are paying to the government in taxes. Americans hate having their taxes raised and they hate having their government benefits cut. So is there any hope that this will ever be turned around before disaster strikes?
#19 The combined debt of the major GSEs (Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac and Sallie Mae) has increased from 3.2 trillion in 2008 to 6.4 trillion in 2011. How in the world is the U.S. government going to be able to afford to guarantee all of that debt on top of everything else?
#20 If the U.S. national debt (more than 14 trillion dollars) was reduced to a stack of 5 dollar bills, it would reach three quarters of the way to the moon. The U.S. government borrows about 168 million dollars every single hour. If Bill Gates gave every penny of his fortune to the U.S. government, it would only cover the U.S. budget deficit for 15 days. So how in the world can our politicians tell us that everything is going to be okay?

SB 91 relative to automatic fire suppression sprinklers
SB 91 makes sense to not mandate the sprinklers in single family homes passed 284Y - 92N. If you want to put sprinklers in, it should be your choice to pay for it. Did you know that your sprinklers are useless if you have a well and power goes out, the sprinklers pump needs a generator to work. Many homes throughout the state and would have to pay for a generator hookup.
