Now the Democrats are desperately seeking ways to distract\nour attention away from the unfolding disaster they have wrought upon\nus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Along come the AstroTurf agitators of <a href=\"https:\/\/granitegrok.com\/blog\/2022\/07\/common-sense-radio-what-is-this-citizens-for-belknap-and-why-you-should-hate-them-willful-deceit-is-not-nice\">Citizens for Belknap<\/a>.  The real citizens of the county can easily see through their deceptions and their claimed need to rid the county delegation of \u2018radicals and extremists.\u2019   The front man of the group is well know in conservative circles to be a far left activist.   <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-style-default\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"771\" height=\"455\" src=\"https:\/\/mikesylvia.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Rats.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-350\" srcset=\"https:\/\/mikesylvia.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Rats.jpg 771w, https:\/\/mikesylvia.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Rats-300x177.jpg 300w, https:\/\/mikesylvia.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Rats-768x453.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 767px) 89vw, (max-width: 1000px) 54vw, (max-width: 1071px) 543px, 580px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Belknap county is a\nsolid conservative area in which all state representatives are\ncurrently Republicans.  This drives the leftists crazy and it seems\nto have drawn the attention of big money donors from outside of our\ncounty and state.  Knowing that the real political battles will be in\nthe primary elections, that is where they have chosen to spend their\nmoney.  They will be targeting good solid Republicans, and supporting\nless principled and more malleable individuals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Those on the left like <a href=\"https:\/\/web.archive.org\/web\/20220711185724\/https:\/\/www.nhbr.com\/belknap-group-seeks-to-unseat-entire-county-house-delegation\/\">Citizens for Belknap<\/a> have a far different perspective than the real citizens of Belknap county.  From their perspective the people of the county are right wing extremist or as Hillary declared \u2018DEPLORABLES.\u2019  The people elected a solid group of Republican representatives in 2020 and have reaped the reward of good government (at least at the state level).  Yet, this group will refer to us as \u2018radicals and extremist\u2019 as they question the integrity of the voters.  The voters of Belknap county got it right in 2020, those saying otherwise are impostors with ill intent.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image is-style-default\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-medium\"><a href=\"https:\/\/mailchi.mp\/1328517a3627\/re-elect-mike-sylvia\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"161\" src=\"https:\/\/mikesylvia.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Subscribe-300x161.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-352\" srcset=\"https:\/\/mikesylvia.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Subscribe-300x161.jpg 300w, https:\/\/mikesylvia.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Subscribe.jpg 500w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><figcaption>Stay in touch, <a href=\"https:\/\/mailchi.mp\/1328517a3627\/re-elect-mike-sylvia\">subscribe<\/a> to get the latest email.<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><strong>Mark your calendar for the September 13 primary election!<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The citizens of Belknap county are mainly hard working middle class people with a good bit of common sense.
