Lily Tang Williams For US Congress

For Informational Purposes Only. This is not an endorsement of the NGCRC until a Republican candidate is chosen.

 Lily is running for US Congress against Anne Kuster and she is the front runner this year. Lily ran last year and came in 3rd with 25% of the vote. She has that solid base this election cycle and as I mentioned before she is the frontrunner.

Here is a little about Lily:

Lily Tang Williams was a law school assistant professor at Fudan University, Shanghai, China who became an American entrepreneur and an educator. She is currently chair of New Hampshire Asian American Coalition, former elected Supervisor of the Checklist in Town of Weare, NH. She has been married to John Williams for 31 years and they have three adult children.

Born to illiterate working-class parents in China’s western Sichuan province just before Mao’s Cultural Revolution, Lily Tang Williams grew up experiencing extremely poor living conditions, food rationing, social chaos, and Communist indoctrination.

She learned to work hard, persevere, and be grateful for the opportunities she was given. Eventually, she graduated from Fudan University in Shanghai with an undergraduate law degree. After graduation, she was selected to continue as part of the law school faculty, as well as practice corporate law in Shanghai as China began to rebuild its economy.

In 1988, Lily Tang Williams decided to study in the U.S., leaving her position with only $100 in her pocket and $1200 in debt to her American sponsor, a Fulbright professor at the University of Texas at Austin.  Though she could not speak English fluently she was determined to achieve success in this country, earning a Master’s degree in Administration and Planning from the School of Social Work at the University of Texas at Austin. 

Subsequently, Lily started work for Wyoming Home Health as a medical social worker, and within a few years she was working as an executive for corporations in both Hong Kong and the U.S. Eventually, she went into business for herself, providing consulting and expert witness services in China-related business and legal cases. She and her husband also manage residential real estate properties they own.

Lily ran for the Colorado State House in 2014 and ran for the U.S. Senate in 2016. Today, Lily is a successful small business owner and an entrepreneur, relishes the freedom, independence, and prosperity she has found in America. She loves her new country and travels frequently throughout the states to share the story of her American Dream and educate people about the horrors of Communism/Marxism/Maoism.

Lily has contributed her opinion articles to National Review, Town Hall, The Epoch Times, Union Leader and the Concord Monitor. She has also appeared on Fox & Friends First, Tucker Carlson Tonight, Timcast IRL, Huckabee TV, John Stossel, The Glenn Beck Program, The Joe Pags Show, GothixTV and many other shows and podcasts. Lily is on the Speakers Bureau of Victims of Communism Memorial Foundation. She has been speaking to students in middle schools, high schools and colleges in the past five years across the country.

Carrie Speaks For All Of Us

In the Sept. 2nd edition of The White Mountain Record, Littleton Select Board member and NH District 1 State Senator, The Honorable Carrie Gendreau, voiced her concern over transgender/diversity artwork being displayed on Jing Fong’s building on Jackson Street in Littleton.  The artwork is being sponsored by NOCO Mural Project and North Country Pride.  In addition to others, Becky Colpitts, outreach community coordinator for The Littleton Food Coop Market, who is representing Granite United Way, provided the grant money to pay for the mural.

Senator Gendreau has been receiving many “anti-Carrie” letters in The Record’s LTE section for sharing her views on the matter, especially because of her official titles.  In my opinion, she has the courage, and the duty to speak for all of us who are stakeholders in our northern Grafton/Coos communities (NH State Senate District 1), which she represents.  Senator Gendreau speaks for those stakeholders who are afraid to speak out due to personal retribution.  She speaks out for those who are afraid for their own personal safety.  Senator Gendreau is focusing attention on this issue to help stop this “Liberal-Progressive-Socialist-Communist Bully-ism” toward a segment of the area’s silent residents.  This “wicked tongue-lashing” of a good woman, a good Conservative public servant, and an experienced legislator is deplorable!  Definitely, a political attack, as well!  She and the NH Senate have been there for us in legislating common-sense issues like: school choice, lower taxes, anti-recreational-cannabis-use legalization, and securing our NH borders from invasion by illegal migrants as well as many other Conservative pieces of legislation.

These attacks on Senator Gendreau’s integrity are being waged by the same people who supported Edith Tucker (“I never supported an income tax!”) for NH District 1 State Senate seat now proudly held by Senator Gendreau!  Thank God, Carrie beat her.  Just imagine where we, in NH, would be today, if Edith Tucker won?

One irate opponent criticizes Senator Gendreau while he holds an elected, public position as Moderator of the Profile School Board!  What a hypocrite!  Who’s “calling the kettle black,” Mr. “Let’s-Legalize-Recreational-Cannabis”!  His comments seem very suspicious….perhaps he’s positioning himself for a State Senate run after losing another run for Representative?!

In reading following editions of The White Mountain Record, you’ll notice some other frequent, slobbering “Liberal-Progressive-Socialist-Communist,” anti-Conservative voices from the surrounding towns of Bethlehem, Easton, and Sugar Hill whose efforts re: this matter seem well-coordinated to promote this act of “Liberal-Progressive-Socialist-Communist Bully-ism” of silent, Conservative, Christian area voters and taxpayers.  Or, am I just acting as a “conspiracy-theorist”?

Senator Gendreau has been there for us.  It’s our turn to be there for her!

This is Insanity

by Alex Foryan

In the past month we have seen some unbelievably ludicrous actions of the radical left. In New York, the city is going to pay the BLM protesters that rioted in 2020, destroying, burning, looting and attacking the police and innocent people. 1300 people are going to be paid 13 million dollars if they were”beaten” (yeah, right) and arrested by the police. What message is that sending? It’s OK to riot and destroy property and hurt people because of the actions of one man? What message does this send to the police officers in NY? That the police are all wrong for using force and arresting these people who physically attack them, others and are destroying property?
Basically NY just gave a green light to any group (that the radical left supports) to do anything they want because there will be no consequences. In fact, they may get rich off of it. Because, in the radicals’ eyes, the rioters are the victims—not the homeowners, store owners, police and innocent bystanders.
In Illinois, the state passed a law ending the cash bail system. The justification was that it was unconstitutional because some don’t have the money to post bail. Well gee, golly, gosh! Maybe they should think of that before they go out and perform criminal acts! So anyone who commits a crime and is “not a threat” will be set free immediately. Businesses and people are leaving Chicago because of the theft, property damage and violence.
Remember what their new progressive Mayor, Brandon Johnson, said when gangs of teenagers ran amok in the city damaging property, fighting police, setting cars on fire and attacking innocent people? He said that he didn’t condone what they did BUT “they should not be demonized because they were starved of opportunities in their communities”. This guy defends these thugs who are destroying his own city? As mayor, shouldn’t he be prosecuting all of these criminals and standing up for the law abiding, tax paying citizens? I wonder if he would feel differently if they destroyed his home and hurt members of his family. He probably lives miles away in a beautiful safely guarded house. As far as the “starving opportunity” narrative goes, I guess if these kids aren’t coddled and handed everything it gives them the right to go on a destructive rampage. The only thing they are starving from are parents who should be teaching them right from wrong and holding them accountable.
In addition, the Illinois governor, JB Pritzker, signed a bill that will allow non-citizens to become police officers! Let’s see, they are going to have a no cash bail and non-citizens for police officers. What could possibly go wrong? Also, Chicago, like NY and other Democrat led cities are putting illegals up in hotels. I guess they never thought about our own homeless veterans or other homeless US citizens that they could take care of instead.
In California, the “Snake Burglar ( he crawls on his stomach to avoid the motion sensors) pleaded guilty to 54 felony charges and has been set free. When he was arrested, he had just been sentenced to 16 months for a prior 23 felonies. Due to jail overcrowding, he was only locked up for 10 days. This guy steals hundreds of thousands of dollars of property and is set free.The Riverside Police chief said “that more time was spent investigating this guy by his officers than the amount of time this guy spent in jail”.
Lastly, our DOJ is suing Texas because they are trying to keep illegals from entering by putting floating barriers in the Rio Grande. A country is NOT a country without borders. A country has a right to protect its borders. Basically Texas is doing what the federal government should be doing. It’s obvious that the Biden administration is all about allowing people to run across the border. No problem for them because the American taxpayers will foot the bill. Plus these illegals will be a bloc of support for the elections–it’s naive to think that they will not be voting somehow.
The aforementioned outrageous actions are all on the part of the radical far left Democrats. I’m sure there are many moderate/common sense Democrats that would disagree with these actions but will not speak out against them. (Does anyone think Truman, JFK or Joe Lieberman would support this madness?) If people keep voting for these radical candidates it will only perpetuate this insanity and spread it throughout our country. It can seep into other states including our beloved New Hampshire. The moderate Democrat and independent voters really need to take a hard look at this. They can make a difference by casting their vote for Republican candidates who would never pay violent rioters, end cash bail or hire non citizens to be on our police forces. If our country keeps heading in the direction in which it is going, we will be nothing more than a third world banana republic.

Scotus Ruling on Affirmative Action and Tuition Relief

by Alex Foryan

SCOTUS got it right with their ruling on Affirmative Action and Tuition Relief. Affirmative action is so wrong and ridiculous—why should someone get preferential treatment because of their skin color or ethnic heritage? Jon Wang, an Asian-American student had a 1590 SAT score (with a perfect score on math) and a 4.65 grade average. He applied to 6 elite schools and was turned down. His guidance counselors actually warned him that he may have a tough time because he was Asian. How ludicrous is that? Why should a student who worked hard and achieved high test scores and grades be kept out because their ethnicity doesn’t fit into the DEI model? Also, when you utilize affirmative action you are stating that the DEI specific minority groups are not smart or hard working enough to get in on their own merit. THAT IS SO WRONG, DEGRADING AND DISRESPECTFUL! Of course the left responds with their usual “white supremacy” blah blah —-it’s so disgusting. As soon as you disagree with the far left, you are a white supremacist.

Of course, Obama had to chime in. You know he will never miss a chance to play the race card. He stated “But for generations of students who had been systematically excluded from most of America’s key institutions — it gave us the chance to show we more than deserved a seat at the table. In the wake of the Supreme Court’s recent decision, it’s time to redouble our efforts”

Well if minorities are systematically excluded, then why do we have so many AWESOME minorities in high positions in all professions of our society doing AWESOME things?

And instead of Obama’s idea of redoubling efforts for Affirmative Action in colleges, what about the high school students redoubling their efforts in school? How about parents redoubling their efforts to instill educational values and a work ethic into their children? How about having a mindset of earning something instead of having it handed to you by playing the victim card? There was a black doctor in Illinois who said he had 2 medical degrees—-he stated that he was NEVER held back from any institution in his effort to achieve them. Basically, this man worked hard to get where he is. He also probably had parents who instilled good values such as hard work, the value of an education and choosing to be a decent human being. Gee, what a novel idea! Work hard and earn your success.

As far as college tuition is concerned, why should taxpayers pay for someone else’s tuition? Why should someone who never went to college have to pay somebody’s tuition? I myself, as well as many others, paid our own loans off. I would not expect anyone to pay mine or would want anyone to. It’s called being responsible and accountable. But do you think Biden’s administration really cares about the people with school loans? The Dems who supported this probably realized that this wouldn’t go through, but the optics look good to get votes. They will just blame it on the conservatives in the Supreme Court.

Again, SCOTUS got it right on both issues and I’m willing to bet that the majority of America agrees with them.

Support the Family in New Hampshire!


HB 294: Enabling municipalities to adopt a child tax credit.

STATUS: There was a public hearing for HB 294 on January 26, for which individuals could submit opposition or testimony. The bill will now be voted on by the House Municipal and County Government Committee. The committee votes to either recommend the bill to the full House as OTP (Ought to Pass) or ITL (Inexpedient to Legislate). This is the first step in passing or defeating a bill.

WHEN: The House Municipal and County Government Committee will vote on HB 294 on February 15, at 10:30 AM. 

CORNERSTONE POSITION: Cornerstone SUPPORTS this bill.

WHY: New Hampshire is experiencing a rapidly growing crisis that has received far less attention than it deserves – our state is becoming catastrophically old. For New Hampshire to remain competitive, we must give our communities more tools to attract and retain young families. 

Simply stated, without young families and workers to replace those who are retiring, the economy, local services, and even the continuity of communities are in serious jeopardy.

HB 294 paves the way for municipalities to consider child tax credits in their planning. This would be an important first step in recognizing the importance of children and families to the future of our state.

WHAT YOU CAN DO:

There is still time to voice your support of HB 294 before the Municipal and County Government Committee casts their vote. While you can no longer register your support of the bill or testify in person, you can still make your voice heard by calling the committee.

Please call the committee at 603-271-3125, as calling is the most effective way to make your voice heard. However, if you cannot call the committee, we encourage you to email testimony and support to the members. You can find the Municipal and County Government Committee contact info here or email the full committee at HouseMunicipalandCountyGovt@leg.state.nh.us

More Attacks on the Fetal Life Protection Act!


HB 271: Repealing the Fetal Life Protection Act.

SUMMARY: HB 271 is a bill that would repeal the Fetal Life Protection Act, or FLPA. In New Hampshire, abortion is heavily restricted after the 24 weeks by the FLPA; this bill would enable unrestricted abortions up to full-term. 

STATUS: There will be a public hearing of HB 271 before the House Judiciary Committee this coming week. Following a hearing, a committee votes to either recommend the bill to the full House as OTP (Ought to Pass) or ITL (Inexpedient to Legislate). This is the first step in passing or defeating a bill. The testimony of citizens submitted at these hearings, especially in person, is influential in determining what recommendation a committee will make on a bill.

WHEN: Wednesday, February 15, at 10:30 AM in the Legislative Office Building, rooms 206-208. 

CORNERSTONE POSITION: Cornerstone OPPOSES this bill. 

HB 224: Repealing the Criminal and Civil Penalties of the Fetal Life Protection Act. 

SUMMARY: HB 224 is a bill that would repeal all criminal and civil legal penalties against health care providers for violating the Fetal Life Protection Act. If this bill were to pass, it would no longer be a class B felony for any health care provider to perform or induce an abortion after 24 weeks of pregnancy. 

STATUS: There will be a public hearing of HB 224 before the House Judiciary Committee this coming week. Following a hearing, a committee votes to either recommend the bill to the full House as OTP (Ought to Pass) or ITL (Inexpedient to Legislate). This is the first step in passing or defeating a bill. The testimony of citizens submitted at these hearings, especially in person, is influential in determining what recommendation a committee will make on a bill.

WHEN: Wednesday, February 15, at 2:30 PM in the Legislative Office Building, rooms 206-208. 

WHY: Both HB 271 and HB 224 threaten the Fetal Life Protection Act, and would return us to a state that has virtually no abortion restrictions. The FLPA is New Hampshire’s only protection for pre-born children. New Hampshire made history by going from a state that allowed abortion for any reason up to birth, to protecting pre-born children who are at least 24 weeks old. 

HB 224 stands as the main threat to pre-born life, as our governor, Chris Sununu, has called to remove the penalties for violating the Fetal Life Protection Act. A pro-choice individual, he is the only Republican governor in America pushing for abortion up to birth, and has pledged to sign the bill if it reaches his desk. Additionally, Chris Sununu personally lobbied for a functionally identical bill, HB 1609, in the House just last year. 

As New Hampshire’s sole restriction on abortion, the FLPA only defends pre-born children who could live outside the womb, were they delivered. HB 271 and HB 224 would eliminate these vital protections for late-term pre-born in New Hampshire. In order to protect these children in their last months, we need support and testimony from our pro-life community to help our lawmakers make the right decision to continue to protect these precious lives. 

WHAT YOU CAN DO: 

1. Register your opposition for HB 271 and HB 224 by signing in opposing the bills here. It is important that you sign in two times, opposing both bills. 

You can find step-by-step instructions on how to sign in here.

2. Submit written testimony. You can do this when you sign in. Simply hit “choose file” under step number four to upload a document with your testimony, or type your testimony into the provided box.

3. We urge you to come and testify in person, especially if you fall under one of the following categories:A physicianSomeone who has a child or relative disabled since birthPost-abortive mother or fatherA pro-life woman of any ageWe have step-by-step instructions on how to testify here. You can also reach out to us at cornerstone@nhcornerstone.org if you have any questions about the testifying process.

Important Note: A number of people have had issues with the House remote sign-in page. If you are encountering problems, you can also email the committee directly registering your support for the bill and/or submitting written testimony. You can find their contact info here or email the full committee at 
HouseJudiciaryCommittee@leg.state.nh.us

4. Additionally, we encourage you to educate yourself on the Fetal Life Protection Act. Cornerstone has produced a 3-minute video, included below, to explain the history, context, and content of the FLPA.  We urge you to take a few minutes to watch the video and share it with your friends and family.
