Jack on Tea Parties, Quoted in The Citizen of Laconia
Posted by: | CommentsJason Clafferty, writing for The Citizen of Laconia, quoted Jack in an article about the tea party movement:
At the very least, Tea Partiers, with their core message of reining in government spending, are a force to be reckoned with by those on both sides of the aisle, according to political experts and members of the movement.
“They’re the ones who are going to make the decisions this time around,” said Dover businessman Jack Kimball, a GOP hopeful for governor who has organized Tea Party protests.
He’s right on. Jack supports the tea party movement, arranging local events, because the core message of reigning in government spending is Jack’s core message. Concord, like Washington, has a spending problem, not a revenue problem.
Interested folks should keep checking Jack’s event calendar: we’re working on tea party meetings around the state, designed to help citizens get connected with their local allies and the statewide groups.
Jack Kimball’s Tea Party Meetings
Posted by: | CommentsJames Pindell, in a column for the New Hampshire Magazine, discussed the Tea Party movement in New Hampshire and analyzed the importance of serious candidates in solidifying the movement. He appraised Jack fairly:
One person to watch is Republican candidate for governor Jack Kimball. He came into politics from the Tea Party movement, founding a Seacoast-based group called the Granite State Patriots just last year. He’s serious about the issues but short on political flash.
Those of us that have met Jack know he’s a serious guy, concerned about what New Hampshire needs–not about political flash.
Jack’s also serious about the Tea Party movement. He’s using the campaign to help the movement grow, hosting local meetings that connect people with Tea Party organizations and with his campaign. The first such meeting is in Rochester on Thursday night (3/11). Attend to learn more about Jack, the Tea Party movement, and what you can do get New Hampshire back on track.
Jack Responds to Recent Election News
Posted by: | CommentsThe race for the GOP nomination got more interesting yesterday. Voters will have to decide which candidate best represents what New Hampshire needs.
Jack Kimball has over 30 years experience creating jobs as a business owner in the State of NH. He will be the small business’s best friend in the corner office. He will provide immediate tax relief for small busniness by pushing for a repeal of the BET Tax and the LLC Tax.
New Hampshire’s overall corporate tax rate is now one of the highest in the country. Jack Kimball will lower it because he knows the drastic effect it has. Small businesses are the engine that drives the NH economy. Giving small businesses the right incentives (lower taxes, less regulation) creates jobs and , in turn, broadens the tax base. We need to be a business friendly State, not a State that drives small businesses elsewhere.
No other candidate matches Jack Kimball’s business experience. He is a proven leader and he will be the GOP nominee in September.

Jack Supports the “Health Backlash”
Posted by: | CommentsJack’s on health insurance freedom:
This week, newly minted Virginia Governor Bob McDonnell is poised to sign a radical new bill. Or rather, a radical new bill based on a very old principle.
Virginia, along with 30 other states, is asserting its 10th amendment right by refusing to accept government-mandated health care. These bills, generally referred to as “Health-Care Freedom Acts” declare that the government cannot force an individual mandate to buy health care on the citizens of their states, and that citizens have the right to seek care from any medical provider they wish without incurring fines or penalties. This week, the Wall Street Journal reported:
“President Obama and Democrats continue to maintain their legislation is faltering because Americans don’t understand the good it would do for the quality of their medical care. But the spectacle of “health-care freedom” legislation emerging in some 30 states suggests that voters and state lawmakers do understand that ObamaCare will alter the delivery of health care in ways that will limit choice and access.”
I applaud these states for taking a stand against Federal government intervention, and asserting their rights as states. As I have said throughout my campaign, I am a firm proponent of the 10th amendment, which states that powers not given to the Federal government in the Constitution are reserved to the states. Decisions about health care should be made by individual states, and not subject to the draconian demands of the Federal government.
I sincerely hope that New Hampshire joins the ranks of those states taking a stand for the rights of their citizens. If I am elected Governor of this state, I can assure you that I will.

Posted by: | CommentsYesterday was spent working on administrative items for the campaign. We are still working hard to give every volunteer a viable job in the campaign. I was the guest host last night on New Hampshire Taxpayer Radio (WLMW) 90.7 FM in bow, NH. As always these shows are very interesting and informative. What makes it even more fun is spending the time with good people like Steve and Ed Naile. We will try and have the MP3 available for everyone to listen to today.
Tonight I will be at a private dinner at CR Sparks in Bedford at the Charles Club. It is the preliminary kick off event for tomorrow’s all day Grass Roots Communications event which hosted by Fred Tausch & Steward’s. This event will take place at Southern New Hampshire University, 2500 N. River Rd., Manchester, NH. It begins at 8:30 AM.
Tomorrow (Sunday) I plan to spend some time with my wife and two beautiful Granddaughters, Teya and Tiana. I’m looking forward to the brief break in campaigning.

Posted by: | CommentsTuesday, January 26th was a very busy day. The majority of it was spent finishing up the filming of the firste episode of “the Road to Concord” the Jack Kimball story. This is a concept created by Mr. Greg Brooks. He is also the producer of the show. It will provide direct insight to my journey to the corner office of this state. Greg will follow me on my “Road to Concord” and film much of the events that I attend as well as some of the private meetings that I may have. Also included in the show will be man of the street interviews, with various citizens of our state, in an effort to find out what is on their minds and to provide some potential solutions to the problems that concern them. In addition, the public will be able to listen to my positions on various important topics of the day. We hope to have the first show up and running in a few days. From that point forward Greg wants to produce two episodes per week. This is Greg’s show and is completely separate from my campaign so he is looking for Sponsors in order to fund the show. This is a great oppportunity for businesses to get some great advertising exposure. If anyone would like to have Greg drop by and discuss this opportunity, he can be reached at 603-312-0012 or via e-mail at info@theroadtoconcord.com.
In addition to finishing the filming of the Road to Concord, we took the time to travel to Pease Tradeport to greet a flight of troops that were headed overseas. Since Greg had his camera equipment, we decided to film the entire greeting from beginnning to end. It should make a great documentary in honor of our toops and one of the greatest organizations I have ever been associated with, the Pease Greeters. After filiming this great event we returned to the work of filming the show.
Yesterday (January 27th) I travelled to Bow to record two radio shows. I had a great time with host, Joanne Randal of NH Women in Business 107.7 FM. The show will air this Saturday (January 30th) at 8:00 AM as well as next Saturday at the same time. Please tune in if you have the chance. After the show I made a short visit to the Goffstown-Weare Town Committee Meeting and arrived home in time to watch the State of the Union Speech by President Obama. I must say it was one of the worst partisan speeches I have ever heard. I did not sleep very well last night as it appears that this President has ignored the message sent to him by the people of Massachusetts. More to come.
