NHAC - Defending the NH Advantage Pork Roast

Concord, NH- the New Hampshire Advantage Coalition (NHAC) announces the “Defending the New Hampshire Advantage Pork Roast” on Saturday, August 29th at 11am to 3pm at the Rochester Fair Ground in downtown Rochester, NH.

They are joined by the following organizations;

*Steward of Prosperity

*NH 9.12 Project

*Coalition of New Hampshire Taxpayers

*Cornerstone Policy Research

The ‘New Hampshire Advantage’ is the belief that low taxes are the result of low spending; a government can only be fair to its taxpayers when it is run more efficiently; and that the states’ low tax advantage of no income or sales tax is worth fighting for.

This event is an opportunity for concerned citizens to educate themselves on several various local, state, and federal issues and meet with other taxpayers from across the state and region. Kevin Smith, Director of the Cornerstone Policy Research stated “New Hampshire’s families and businesses are losing the ‘advantage’ of low taxation, frugal government, and local control that have made our state a desirable place for not only residents, but vacationer’s as well.” Smith continued “we hope that taxpayers will join us at this event to help in the continued defense of keeping the granite state from an income or sales tax.”

The ‘Pork Roast’ will be a scheduled annual item for taxpayers to gather near the end of each and every summer. This year’s location was designated in part by the successful passage of Rochester’s spending cap last November. There will be a speakers program, awards ceremony and information booths from other groups for event goers to accent the lunch provided.

Fred Tausch, founder of STEWARD of Prosperity, underscored the grassroots importance of the event, “New Hampshire residents are becoming increasingly aware that the spend-a-thon in Washington and Concord threatens their economic future. That’s why conservatives across the state are rolling up their sleeves to lead the fight for fiscal discipline. The ‘Pork Roast’ in Strafford County reflects the continued resurgence of strong grassroots organizing in the state.”

GOP dodges primary in New Hampshire

The Hill, By Reid Wilson

Posted: 07/22/09 09:46 AM [ET]

New Hampshire Republicans may have averted a bruising Senate primary after a wealthy businessman declined to challenge a former attorney general for the GOP nomination.

Businessman Fred Tausch (R), who has blanketed the state with advertisements bashing increased federal spending, said he would not be a candidate for office in 2010 and would instead focus on his growing grassroots organization.

That leaves former Attorney General Kelly Ayotte as the clear favorite for the nomination. National Republicans put pressure on Ayotte to get into the race, and she resigned last week in anticipation of a bid.

“Many Republicans have encouraged me to be their voice as a candidate for office next year,” Tausch said in a statement. “.It was an honor to be approached and I gave the prospect serious consideration. But after careful deliberation, I've decided not to enter public service at this time.”

On Monday, Ayotte filed papers to form an exploratory committee with the Federal Election Commission.

She may still face a competitive primary, as former state Board of Education chairman Ovide Lamontagne (R) is considering a bid. Lamontagne ran as the GOP's nominee for governor in 1996.

The eventual winner of the GOP primary will face Rep. Paul Hodes (D) in the race to replace retiring Sen. Judd Gregg (R).

Tausch also entered the realm of state politics accusing Gov. John Lynch and the Legislature of placing the state on the path of an income tax.

He railed against the $110 million raid on the Joint Underwriting Association's surplus that Superior Court Judge Kathleen McGuire could rule on its legality by the end of this month.

"The authors of the state budget who felt it was OK to snatch private property to finance their dangerous growth in spending have landed the state in legal limbo that may result in a huge budget shortfall," Tausch continued. "The governor, attorney general and the legislators who passed the state budget are obligated to explain how they will make up the revenue if Judge McGuire's block on these funds stands. Will we end up with an income tax? A sales tax?"

Gee, who would he really be aiming that dart for with this assault?

That's right, desired senator-to-be Kelly Ayotte.

DSCC - NH: Tausch Expands Media Buy After Ayotte Announcement

Analysis: Tausch spent nearly 400k on TV and radio

Wednesday, July 15 2009 10:38 AM

MANCHESTER -- Merrimack businessman Fred Tausch has spent nearly $400,000 in the past month on television and radio ads for his S.T.E.W.A.R.D. campaign, an analysis compiled by a potential opponent suggests. The analysis, given to NHPoliticalReport.com, shows Tausch's media buys getting bigger after a University of New Hampshire poll showed he had little name recognition and in a time when there has ben a lot of activity in the U.S. Senate race he might join. Specifically he went from spending $26,000 a week beginning on June 9 to over $77,000 this week, the analysis showed.
