Shawn Girard for Senate

I am here for Friends and Networking

About Me

I am an Independent candidate hoping to represent NH in the United States Senate. Campaign Portal: www.shawngirard.com .

My Interests

I enjoy camping, hiking, movies and books. I am a huge history fan and love science fiction and fantasy.

I'd like to meet:

Independent thinkers in New Hampshire from the left or right.

Music:

70's punk, 80's hardcore, new wave, proto-gothic, classic rock from the 60's and 70's, acoustic blues and Motown. I also enjoy many of the classical composers... Vivaldi, Mozart and Wagner especially.

Movies:

Cheesy zombie movies are always a treat. Other than that I am a big superhero fan, LOTR, Star Wars were good. Mostly though, I love documentaries and can sit through anything and enjoy it if it is smartly written.

Television:

The Daily Show, Battlestar Galactica, South Park, Family Guy, much of what is on History, National Geographic, Science or Discovery channels.

Books:

Well, little time to read but I burn through audio books because I travel so much. I listen to anything but am mostly a fan of biographies, politics and current events and the sci-fi or fantasy genre.

Heroes:

1) Anyone who does what is right, whether they are famous or not. 2) Anyone who works hard and makes the world a better place than they found it. 3) Ayone who chooses principle or people over profit.

Focus On Health Care

Focus On 9-11

A Plan For Peace

A commitment to peace in the world goes far beyond the question of what to do in Iraq or how to best fight terrorism.  In fact, I believe these issues and many others that we are presented with b...

Regarding Tax Resistance

I receive a great number of questions on controversial issues and, whether it hurts or helps my campaign, I like to answer every question as I have opportunity.  I think all politicians should fo...

On The Issue of Impeachment

I've been asked several times to explain my stance on the issue of impeachment for the current President and/or Vice President.  In some ways this is a non-issue for me.  I will not be sworn...

500 Words

Recently, I was asked to sum up who I was and what I stood for in 500 words.  I thought I would share: I'd like to think of myself as someone who bridges the gap between generations. Someone who ...

Republican Or Democrat?

If you support limited government in this nation, you must also support tax cuts for the richest 1% of Americans and prayer in school.  If you oppose the reckless exploitation of our nation's nat...

Focus on The Drug War

I wanted to share with my visitors and supporters a question I received recently. I believe it is important that anyone seeking to represent us be open about all the issues. This should be true regard...

Focus On the Second Amendment

The founding fathers felt so strongly about the issue of guns, gun ownership and gun rights, that they devoted one tenth of the Bill of Rights to the issue. I agree with them about the critical import...
