“I continue to be impressed by the level of political engagement displayed by so many Granite Staters and I am honored that over 1000 of them chose to attend our town halls.”

The following GOP presidential candidates participated in the We The People Town Hall Series:  Gov. Jon Huntsman, Sen. Rick Santorum, Gov. Rick Perry, Rep. Ron Paul and Gov. Mitt Romney.

We The People Founder Calls on the House of Representatives to Override the Right to Work Veto

Nashua, NH- We The People founder Jennifer Horn today is calling on the Members of the New Hampshire House of Representatives to vote to override Governor Lynch’s veto of the Right to Work legislation, which may be up for a vote as soon as tomorrow.   The legislation, which Governor Lynch vetoed in May, would prohibit unions from collecting dues from workers who are not members of the union.  New Hampshire would be the 23^rd state to enact the law if the over ride passes.  Horn released the following statement urging support for the override:

“It is time for the House of Representatives to vote to override Governor Lynch’s veto.  The House needs to finish what it started this past spring and pass Right to Work.  We need to send a message that New Hampshire is business friendly and passing Right to Work does that.  We can no longer let unions determine the economic forecast for our state.  It’s time to send a loud and clear message that New Hampshire is open for business.

“Right to Work is a simple law that protects the rights of individuals to choose for themselves whether to join a union or where to spend their money.  That is the New Hampshire way.”

"We the People" Founder Jennifer Horn Comments on Super Failure of Super Committee

Nashua, NH- We the People founder Jennifer Horn released the following statement, following the so-called Super Committee’s failure to come up with the $1.5 trillion in cuts and/or revenue they were tasked with.

"The failure of the Super Committee to come up with the requisite 1.5 trillion dollars in cuts, is yet another example of Washington's inability to function and this President's failure to lead.  One would think that 14 million unemployed Americans, 15 trillion dollars in debt and the threat of yet another credit downgrade would be enough to motivate the folks in Washington to finally, once and for all, step up and actually do their jobs.  That they have chosen not to do so is a devastating blow to the American people.

“It is long past time for President Obama to recognize that we really cannot spend our way out of debt; he must step up now and demand the cuts necessary to right the economy and allow American businesses to get back to work.  As he comes to New Hampshire tomorrow, I hope he keeps in mind that Granite Staters are smart enough to know who is responsible for this failure and passing the buck won’t fly."

"We the People" Founder Jennifer Horn Calls on Governor Lynch to Attend the Special House Session on Education Funding

Nashua, NH- We the People founder Jennifer Horn released the following statement, calling on Governor John Lynch to address the special House Session on his Education Funding Amendment. 

“Speaker Bill O’Brien has offered Governor Lynch the opportunity to make his case for his proposed Education Funding Amendment to the House of Representatives.  It is unfortunate that Governor Lynch has declined the invitation opting to address it during his State of the State in January.  Education funding is a major problem affecting every New Hampshire community and deserves to be a top priority not just a part of a political speech. Governor Lynch, after 7 years in office, it is time to put a definitive end to the education funding crisis and to face the public on this unresolved matter. Openness and transparency are the qualities of a free government and we must demand it from our leaders. “

"We the People" Founder Jennifer Horn Calls for Boycott of Nevada Caucus if it Doesn't Change Date

Asks Presidential Candidates to Stand with New Hampshire

Nashua, NH--We The People founder Jennifer Horn today called on Nevada to move their January 14 caucus date and if they will not, for the Presidential Candidates to boycott the Nevada caucus.  She released the following statement:

"Nevada's actions are an affront to the democratic process and do a great disservice to the Presidential Campaigns.  The long-honored vetting process of the early states has served the best interests of the nation.  There is no better way to get to know those individuals who would seek to become the next President of the United States. Without it, lesser funded candidates would have no way to get themselves noticed or be heard. The process in place best serves democracy, the citizens of our country and the candidates themselves.

“If Nevada is unwilling to honor the schedule put in place and agreed upon previously, then I would ask our Presidential Candidates to stand with New Hampshire and demonstrate their commitment to the process and respect for rules and boycott the Nevada Caucus.  By refusing to campaign or participate, the candidates will show that Nevada can’t just change the rules and bully everyone into following.”
