NH State Rep Dave Morrill @RepDaveMorrill: A dollar stolen, as well as a life stolen, compounds interest just as a dollar saved and it’s time to do something about our debt. It’s time for the Douglas Plan and POTUS Pete. @PeteButtigieg and @peteforamerica #nhpolitics #fitn #PeteForAmerica #TeamPete
