Thursday, May 7, 2015<\/strong> – Manchester, Pittsfield, Plymouth<\/p>\n Tuesday, May 12, 2015<\/strong> – Keene, Lancaster, Portsmouth<\/p>\n Wednesday, May 13, 2015<\/strong> – Concord, Lebanon, Rochester<\/p>\n Register here: http:\/\/nhlistens.org\/when-opportunity-stops-knocking<\/a><\/p>\n Has your school district already voted down all day kindergarten, a new school, or some other unneeded venture that would increase taxes?<\/p>\n The latest ploy is that when the outcome of the vote at school meeting is unacceptable to the government, a PR firm will be called in. One of those PR firms is NH Listens, an extension of the Carsey Institute, a left-leaning foundation based at UNH.<\/p>\n When NH Listens invades your town, they will conduct “Listening Sessions” to revisit things you the voters have ALREADY VOTED DOWN at the normal town or school meeting. These sessions are not widely advertised and only a few actual citizens attend. The rest of the attendees are stacked with those who represent special interest groups, usually from outside the state.<\/p>\n The group will then undergo the “Delphi Technique” whereby they will be put into smaller discussion groups each led by a facilitator who will steer them into the “correct” conclusions. This has been done in the Winnisquam school district with all day kindergarten.<\/p>\n Rep Hill on Winnisquam Regional School District:![\"NH_Listens2\"](\"https:\/\/stopcommoncorenh.org\/sccnh\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/NH_Listens2-191x300.jpg\")
