Bender Campaign Responds to Binnie's False Attack Mailer

The Bill Binnie for US Senate campaign attacked the Jim Bender for US Senate campaign with a false and negative mailer this weekend.

Bender's Campaign Manager Beth Lindstrom said, "This is a false attack, and once again Mr. Binnie is grasping at straws in his final desperate hours before the primary on Tuesday.  His constant negative attacks have backfired and now he is turning his vitriol on Jim Bender."

"While on his Jim for Jobs tour, Jim has outlined his plan to create jobs.  Obviously Mr. Binnie has not been traveling across New Hampshire like Jim has, speaking to voters and small business owners.  If Mr. Binnie were on the road, conducting a positive grassroots campaign, he would have seen all around the state the Jim for Jobs signs written in plain English."

"Also, if Mr. Binnie had bothered to attend all of the debates and forums across the state, then he would have heard Jim’s plan for creating jobs which includes less government interference, lower taxes, and repealing Obamacare - all to enable businesses to have a more stable environment in which to grow and hire again.  I would also direct Mr. Binnie to our website www.jimbenderforsenate.com.  Jim’s plan is outlined there, also written in plain English."

"Binnie continues his scorched-earth strategy as he declines in the polls.  New Hampshire voters have already rejected that plan, as they will on Tuesday in the voting booth."

CORNERSTONE COMMENTS ON BINNIE DECLARING HIMSELF 'PROUDLY' PRO-CHOICE

Says Just Further Proof Binnie is Masquerading as a Conservative

MANCHESTER – Yesterday, in his latest blog post on his website, US Senate candidate Bill Binnie outlined what he thinks it means to "be a Republican."  Included in the enumerated list Binnie outlines, he states that he is "proudly" pro-choice, a label many pro-choice Democrats won't even adopt given the tragedy of abortion.  This latest statement from Binnie comes as no surprise though as earlier this year, Binnie explained that he was pro-choice so that families could avoid the expense of special needs children.  Binnie also claims in his post that his position is supported by the vast majority of Americans, despite the fact that according to Gallup polling, since 2009, more Americans describe themselves as "pro-life" than "pro-choice."

Commenting on Binnie's statement being "proudly" pro-choice, was Cornerstone Action Executive Director, Kevin Smith:

"It really should not come as any surprise at this point that Binnie's position on abortion is not only out-of-touch with most Republicans, but the fact that he says he's "proudly" pro-choice is even to the left of most Democrats.  These statements are just further evidence that while Binnie continues to masquerade himself as a conservative, there's little doubt he's actually shockingly liberal - and we think the polls on September 14th will reflect that most primary voters agree with us."

It should also be noted that while Binnie has gone to great lengths to focus on a fiscal message only, and even swipes at those who are "imposing moral values" in his post, Binnie lists his 'proudly' pro-choice position as the first issue on his list of what it means to be a Republican.

CORNERSTONE LAUNCHES NEW RADIO AD "TERRIBLEMENTE LIBERAL"

New Ad Highlights Binnie's Record of Moving Jobs to Mexico; Deplorable Conditions at Mexican Plant

MANCHESTER – Today, Cornerstone Action launched a new radio ad, "Terriblemente Liberal," which highlights reports in the Union Leader that US Senate candidate Bill Binnie shipped US jobs to a plant in Mexico.  The ad also talks about the deplorable working conditions at Binnie's Mexican factory.

Commenting on the new ad was Cornerstone's Executive Director, Kevin Smith:

"At a time when families in NH continue to struggle to find work or stay employed, we thought it was important that voters know about Mr. Binnie's record of shipping good US jobs to foreign countries.  Additionally, we were very disturbed about reports of the  poor working conditions for pregnant women at Mr. Binnie's Mexican factory, as was noted by the international Human Rights Watch."

The new ad will run statewide on NH radio for one week beginning Friday.  To hear the new ad, Terribemente Liberal, visit: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0AT1xGlNm5A&feature=player_embedded

The script for "Terriblemente Liberal" is as follows:

Woman: Honey, is that today’s Union Leader?

Man: It is - and you’ll never guess what they are reporting about Bill Binnie now.

Woman: Let me guess – his shockingly liberal positions?

Man: Not this time. Its about his disturbing business record.

Woman: Really? But Binnie’s flashy ads talk about the jobs he created.

Man: Yes – but he doesn’t say where. Turns out he has a history of moving good American jobs to Mexico.

Woman:  Mexico?

Man: Yes. Bill Binnie shut down his US factory and moved it to Tijuana, Mexico - costing hundreds of American jobs. While Binnie made millions, his Mexican plant employees worked in deplorable conditions.  One woman even reported having a miscarriage after working on her feet for too long. 

Woman:  That’s terrible! How can he defend that?

Man: Well, according to the Union Leader, Binnie is “denying the facts.”

Woman: Well apparently Bill Binnie is untrustworthy and shockingly liberal.

Man: (chuckle) Yeah, or as his employee’s might say, ‘terriblemente liberal’!.

Bender also gained the support of Hon. Sandy Reeves former Manchester Ward 1 State Representative and Republican Whip and Hopkinton Selectman Chris Lawless.

“I am pleased to endorse Jim Bender for US Senate,” said Lawless.  “Jim is a straight shooter who tells it like it is.  For too long our Senators in Washington have been politicians.  We need someone with business experience, common sense, and an understanding of the US Constitution to help get us out of the mess that Washington has got us into.  Jim Bender is the man for that job.”
