AFPNH - We need your help to stop MASSIVE gas tax hike!

Please join us at the Statehouse this Thursday to fight the gasoline tax increase!

Thursday at 1:30PM in Representatives Hall there will be a public hearing to continue the debate over a proposed 15 cent per gallon gasoline tax increase. That increase of 83% would mean you pay $3 more every time you fill up your tank.

Join us to let the NH House know that you cannot afford this tax!

If you can attend Thursday’s hearing, please email Matt.

Gas prices are at record highs and yet many members of the NH House want you to pay more for gasoline so they can grow the size of government. 

This increase will be devastating to NH families and small business owners. That is why we need you to join us at the hearing on Thursday at 1:30PM in Representatives Hall to put a human face on their revenue generation and let them know that you OPPOSE this tax increase.

If you cannot attend Thursday’s hearing, please contact your House membersand ask them to oppose HB 617. You can use THIS LINK to contact them directly.

Once this tax is passed, we will not be able to undo it. Join us to stop this unfair and unnecessary burden from being placed upon you, your family and your neighbors.

If you can join us Thursday at 1:30PM in Representatives Hall, please email Matt.

If you cannot attend, please email your House Members directly.

Either way, let your House Members know you oppose the gasoline tax increase!

Sincerely, 

Greg Moore

NHDP - Our Team

Dear Friend --   

In 2012, New Hampshire elected a great team to work with my mom, Senator Jeanne Shaheen.  I am so happy that Maggie Hassan is now our Governor leading the fight for us in Concord and that Congresswomen Carol-Shea Porter and Annie Kuster are standing side-by-side with my mom in Washington, DC! 

The November election results inspired all of us and reinforce the importance of doing the hard work that is necessary today to ensure a winning strategy tomorrow.  This is why I am honored and excited to serve as a Co-Chair for this year's McIntyre-Shaheen 100 Club Dinner.  DNC Chair Debbie Wasserman Schultz will be joining us as we celebrate our great victories in 2012 and begin working to replicate our successes in 2014!   

I hope you'll join me at this year's McIntyre-Shaheen 100 Club Dinner on April 6.  

For more than 50 years, the 100 Club Dinner has been the premiere event for New Hampshire Democrats to celebrate our electoral victories, legislative accomplishments, and recognize our outstanding leaders.  Thanks to your hard work last fall, we again have much to celebrate at this year's McIntyre-Shaheen 100 Club Dinner!  

I look forward to seeing you April 6th at the 100 Club!

 

 

Sincerely,

Stefany Shaheen

Co-Chair, McIntyre-Shaheen 100 Club Dinner

AFPNH - Call to Action – Tell Your House Members to Oppose the 83% Gasoline Tax Increase!

On Wednesday the NH House will vote on a proposed 15 cent per gallon gasoline tax increase.  That is an increase of 83%!  It’s time for the War on Energy Consumers to stop and for our elected officials to find ways to reduce the cost for you to fill up your tank.

Please contact your House members and ask them to oppose HB 617 when it is voted on this Wednesday. You can use THIS LINK to contact them directly.

Despite gasoline prices being at record highs, Representative Campbell, who sponsored HB 617, and other members of the NH House believe that the hard working families in this state are not paying enough at the pump. This move to raise the gas tax 83% demonstrates how wildly out of touch some members of House are with the hard working people of this state and how much they are willing to burden you to increase state revenues and grow government.

We need your help in stopping this 83% gasoline tax increase!

Click here to contact your House Members today and ask them to oppose HB 617.

Thank you for all you to do to advance and protect economic freedom and prosperity in the state.

Sincerely,

Corey R. Lewandowski

State Director

AFPNH - Sideline

You and I know that Congress and the President have a major spending problem, but the Sequester cuts that take effect on March 1^stcould be the first step to changing that -- $85 billion in real cuts that will finally begin some belt tightening in Washington, D.C.  But Democrats, and even some Republicans in Congress, are joining the President in questioning the wisdom of these modest cuts.  That's why these politicians need to hear from us now.

Tell your senators and representative that it’s time to Cut Spending Now.

 

Last week Americans for Prosperity launched the Spending Accountability Project. This new initiative is the grassroots counter to big spending Washington politicians. Our strategy is simple; apply local grassroots pressure on key Members of Congress in their home states and districts, telling them to stop overspending. If enough of us make our voices heard, we can have a real impact.

That’s where you come in.  In this critical time, no one can afford to sit on the sideline!  Please send an email to your House and Senate member right now; just follow this link and your email will be sent to them.

Earlier this week in Little Rock, Arkansas I stood with a passionate group of grassroots activists getting petitions signed to turn into members of Congress.  And last week in Raleigh and in Indianapolis, I went with our activists to visit district offices of members of Congress telling them to finally begin reining in government overspending by keeping these Sequester cuts. 

One of our most loyal activists, Marjorie, in Raleigh told me as we left the congressional office in Raleigh that she "was glad to be off the couch feeling down and back in the fight again!" 

People just like you have already taken action in every state across the country. 

You can hear about some of their efforts, in their own words by clicking here.

 

If you are as sick of government waste and overspending as I am, then join me in the fight and take action today. Right here, right now.  

In Liberty,

 

Tim Phillips

President of Americans for Prosperity

AFPNH - No free ski passes for Legislators!

February 21 – Concord Republican City Committee February Meeting at 7PM at Sal’s Pizza. Click here for more information.

February 28 – Atkinson Republican Committee Meeting at 6:30PM at the Kimball Library. Click here for more information.

Today, the NH House will vote on a bill that will give legislators FREE ski passes for Cannon Mountain ski area! HB 514 introduced by Rep. Gary Coulombe would exempt free ski passes for legislators from the definition of a “gift.” How else would you define a gift? Is this really the priority of the House? We elect representatives to Concord to do what is in the best interest of the people of this state, not to give themselves FREE gifts and perks just for being a legislator. We will keep you posted on the outcome of this vote. While some legislators do not want to pay for ski passes, they have no problem asking you to pay more for gasoline and diesel. Yesterday, Tom Thomson, our AFP-NH Honorary Chairman, testified against legislation (HB 617) that would increase the state’s tax on gasoline and diesel by 83%. CLICK HERE to read Tom’s testimony. We need you to contact your House members and your state Senator and tell them to OPPOSE HB 617 which would impose this tremendous burden upon NH residents. CLICK HERE to find your members of the State House and your State Senator. Make sure they know that while you hope to receive a raise this year, it will not be 83%! Our citizens don’t need more government spending; we need to keep more of our hard earned money to pay for our basic needs. A report by the federal Energy Department shows that Americans are now paying 4% of their income just to fill up their gas tanks. This bill will only make it more expensive for you to do so in NH. This tax increase on gasoline and diesel, coupled with the bill to increase the tax on heating oil that recently passed the House (HB 185) and the effort to increase electricity rates through the RGGI cap-and-trade scheme, combine to place huge new burdens on New Hampshire citizens with higher energy costs. Click here to find your members of the State House and your State Senator and contact them today! Tell them we don’t need bigger government and higher taxes! Sincerely, Corey R.
