ANP Reports

The end of October is coming. To us, it's Halloween, which comes from the Christian phrase All Hallow's Eve. It's the day before All Saints Day (Nov. 1). When I was a kid, I went to Catholic School, and November 1 was always a school holiday, so on Halloween, I could go out trick-or-treating and...

Somehow it doesn't really feel like Fall until October. I don't know why. Technically Fall begins on September 21. I think it's because we still have summer weather. I remember as a kid going to school in a school with no air conditioning, sitting in that classroom after lunch and sweating like a pig and...

You know what's great about this time of year? Every morning we get to see all the happy, smiling children on their way to another day of school. Yeah, right. When I was a kid, except for Christmas and Spring vacations, I didn't do much smiling until June. Of course it wasn't all bad. For...

It's the most wonderful time of the year! Some of you might recognize that sentence as a line from a Christmas song. However, it's also from a 1996 back-to-school commercial for Staples. The kids are all sad and the parents are jumping for joy because the kids are going back to school and will be...

This report is going to seem to be starting off as a rant, but please bear with me. I'm going somewhere with this. I'm sure what happens to me online everyday is happening to you. Maybe more, maybe less. I'm talking about scam emails. I for one have had enough of it. Everyday the sharks...

August is here and the dog days of summer are upon us. I'd like to take this opportunity to remind everyone that sometime in August is typically the deadline to register to run for office. The mid-terms are only three months away. They'll be here before we know it. If anyone is interested in running...

Comrades, we're right at the height of summer. There is no excuse regarding the weather and the handing out of literature. Even if it is too hot in the daytime, there's always the evenings and nights. In fact, I feel the safest time is at night. People are in bed, or at least indoors watching...

Independence Day is just three days away. That's the day the document known as the Declarartion of Independence, written by Thomas Jefferson, was signed, making us free from British rule. What many people don't understand is just what caused the colonies to declare independence from Britain. Was it unfair taxation? No, it was not. Well,...

If I were a betting man, I'd be organizing a pool right now. Trump says the war with Iran is over and they have reached a deal. I'll see that when I believe it. So far Trump has been dishing out pure baloney since all this began last February. He said this would only take...

I think summer is about to arrive. We've actually had some warm days in New Hampshire. When New Hampshire has warm days, you know the arrival of summer is imminent. No more excuses about the weather. We need to get out and get the literature flowing. If you don't do it, who will? Even I...

We are now at the mid-point of May, and the height of our Spring Blitz Literature Drive. It seems to be going very well. We've received way more orders for literature than usual, so they must be handing them out. After all, who orders literature only to let it all sit on the coffee table...

Comrades, May is the main month of our Spring Blitz literature drive. You all need to get your fliers (or whatever) and get that literature out. It won't get out by itself. That's up to you, so let's all do our part and get cracking! Last report I talked about handing out literature. This time...

The winter is almost over and soon the weather will be turning nice again. This, among other things means it will be seasonable to start distributing our literature which can be downloaded free off our website. You can find it under "SUPPORT".There are two main methods I like: Hand outs, and drop offs. In this...

Top of the mornin' to ya me lads, and the rest of the day to me self. In two days it will be St. Paddy's Day. The main reason why I'm mentioning it is because with most people, St. Patrick's Day is just an excuse to get drunk. I sincerely hope that if you do...

Comrades, I'm sure that in some places, the weather is starting to warm. If it hasn't, then it will soon. Here we have another six weeks of freezing our carchangas off before it will start to really get above 32. For those of you who are looking forward to the imminent return of warmer weather,...
