AFPNH - Can we do better than 48th?

New Hampshire is currently ranked 48^th for our business tax rate by the non-partisan Tax Foundation.

Can we do better than 48^th out of 50?! Not if the House has anything to say about it.

As you may know, the House passed budget contained several business tax increases that send the wrong message to job creators and undermine our competitiveness with other states, as evidenced by our current ranking of 48^th by the Tax Foundation.

I encourage you to contact your State Senator and ask them not to include these business tax increases in the final state budget!

Click here tell your Senator you oppose these business tax increases! You can also Tweet or Share your opposition using the links below.

It is not the job of state government to make it more difficult to start or run a business in our state. Yet that is exactly what the House is doing by attacking businesses and increasing their taxes.

Every additional dollar that businesses pay to the state in the form of increased taxes is one additional dollar they don’t have to create jobs or expand or grow their business. In addition, businesses located in other states will be less likely to move here if we have a hostile business tax environment.

The House wants to grow state government. We want to grow businesses and better the economy. 

If you agree, join our fight and contact your Senator today!

Thank you for all you do to promote economic freedom in New Hampshire.

Sincerely,

Greg Moore

State Director

AFPNH - Shea-Porter & Kuster Choose Not to End ObamaCare!

AFPNH - end ObamaCare?

Help us put an end to ObamaCare!

Are you ready for higher taxes, higher premiums, and fewer doctors? That’s what is coming our way as a result of ObamaCare, which starts in full next January.

That’s why the author of ObamaCare, Sen. Max Baucus, called the scheme a “train wreck.” He has announced his retirement, likely because he didn’t want to face the voters with this takeover of the health care system on his record!

Today, the U.S. House of Representative will vote to repeal ObamaCare, and we congratulate them for taking this important step. However, the Senate has pledged that they won’t take a similar vote, and President Obama said he would veto any effort to give us relief from this terribly flawed law.

One group – Americans for Prosperity – has always stood against ObamaCare. From the “Hands Off My Health Care” national tour when the bill was in Congress to our current efforts to defund and repeal this disastrous bill, we won’t stop our efforts to protect our citizens from federal bureaucrats running your health care.

AFP knows ObamaCare will mean that health insurance costs will double, that it will be harder to see doctors and that the 21 new taxes – all administered by the same IRS that admitted it targeted conservative groups– will undercut our economy.

To continue our efforts, we need your help. As a grassroots organization, we rely on the support of people like you to keep up the fight against ever growing government. Your contribution today of $25, $50, $100, $200 or more will allow us to continue our efforts to tell New Hampshire citizens about the dangerous, big government plans that liberals like President Obama have in store for us, and give us the tools to stop them!  

 

The President and his allies have taxpayer-funded agencies like the IRS and the Department of Health and Human Services that he is using to attack his opponents so he can grow government. However, AFP has committed citizens just like you that will not be intimidated for protecting our future. I’d say that’s more than a fair fight!

Live Free or Die,

AFPNH - Last Chance to Stop the Gas Tax Increase

We need your help today to stop the proposed gasoline and diesel tax in New Hampshire!

I know we are all busy and pressed for time but this may be our last chance.

If you haven’t already done so, please go to www.stopnhgastax.com and sign the petition opposing this tax increase that will be devastating to our taxpayers and businesses. Pass the link on to your friends, family and neighbors and inform them that this is a tax increase that will impact all of us in a negative way.

Tomorrow, May 7 at 10:00am in SH room # 103 the Senate Ways and Means Committee will hold a hearing on the proposed 67% tax hike on gasoline and diesel at the State House in Concord.

If passed, this will affect you in two ways.

First, it will increase the price you pay every time you stop to fill up your tank.

But secondly, and too often over-looked, it will increase the price you pay for many goods you purchase that are transported with diesel trucks.

Remember everything we consume moves on diesel, sometimes as many as five times during processing before we purchase the item. In simple terms, this means that not only will it cost you more to fill up your tank and drive to the store, but when you get there everything you need to purchase will be more expensive as well. This is not the time to be raising gasoline and diesel tax or any other tax on our citizens.

If you agree, I hope you will plan to attend tomorrow’s important hearing at 10:00am in Concord at the State House on the first floor in room #103.

Please join me and other concerned citizens at the hearing tomorrow at 10:00am to oppose this increase in the gasoline and diesel tax.

I truly believe if we take the time to turn out to this important hearing we can defeat this 67% tax increase. I hope to see you there.

Sincerely,

Tom Thomson

If you feel like you are working harder to take home less money for your families, you are not alone. The bad news is… things may get worse. Next week, the NH Senate will hold hearings on two bills that will impact your wallet. On Tuesday, May 7, at 10AM the Senate Ways and Means Committee will hold a hearing on the proposed 67% in tax on gasoline and diesel that will increase the price you pay every time you stop to fill up your tank. Please go to stopnhgastax.com to sign the petition opposing this tax increase that will be devastating to our taxpayers and businesses. Plan to attend the hearing if you can to share your story of how this large tax increase will affect your life and business. If you cannot attend the hearing, click here to find your Senator and their contact information and tell them you oppose this tax increase! On Thursday, May 9, the Senate Finance Committee will hold a hearing on the House-passed budget at 3PM in Representatives Hall. As you may recall, the House-passed budget increases state spending by 16%! At a time, when a lot of New Hampshire families are cutting back, the House wants to grow government and increase the burden on our already struggling families! State government should be shrinking; not the amount of money you have to take care of your family and pay your bills. If you share our outrage over this and believe that New Hampshire taxpayers deserve better, contact your Senator today and ask them to oppose the House-passed budget! Thank you for all you do to advance our mission of lower taxes and smaller government in the state.
