Restore the Funding - Poem by Raymond A. Foss

Pull back from the brink
this collective madness
restore the funding
to aid our neighbors

The social contract
the covenant of our people
the bond we share
coming undone before us

The funding needed
the services essential
to our neighbors
that they may live in freedom

All of us together
should reverse direction
to restore the budget
and lift our family up

March 17, 2011
Cuts approved by the NH House Finance Committee and
Constitutional Amendment proposed by Rep. Neal Kirk
to remove safety net of town welfare
&
Leviticus 4
&
calling on the NH Legislature
and the Governor
to spare those without a voice
those who need us
from the severe budget cuts
that are currently planned
in HB1 and HB2, etc.
&
in part based on the testimony
