Bass For Congress - 6 Days to Go: A Message From Lisa Bass

Dear Friend, 

There is just six days to go until Election Day and with your help, Charlie is on the way to victory on Nov. 6th.  During this campaign a lot of money has been spent by outside groups and Washington insiders to attack Charlie. This week Lisa Bass sat down to talk about Charlie's values and record. We wanted to share her message with you.

 

The best way to spread the truth about Charlie is to share this with your family and friends. Please help us fight back against outside money and donate $6, $25, $50, $75 or $100 to our campaign. The funds we raise will supply our volunteers with literature to keep the focus on the real Charlie Bass, the candidate that Lisa and New Hampshire citizens know will put people before politics. 

If you have already contributed and want to share Charlie's message with your neighbors, you can volunteer and join Team Bass in making calls, knocking on doors, and delivering signs, please sign up here.

Thanks and see you on the trail,

Brad Blais

Bass Statement on Disaster Request for New Hampshire

CONCORD, NH – Congressman Charles F. Bass (NH-02) today announced his strong support for Governor John Lynch’s request for a federal disaster declaration for all 10 counties in New Hampshire as a result of Hurricane Sandy.

Bass said:

“The worst of the storm has passed, but more than 200,000 Granite Staters remain without power, many roads across the state are impassable, and trees are downed everywhere. I strongly support Governor Lynch’s federal disaster declaration request to help recover from this storm and stand ready to support the state’s application in any way that I can. A federal disaster declaration will help local communities across the state with the rebuilding process.

“As we begin to clean up in the Granite State, our thoughts and prayers remain with the people in New York, New Jersey, and eastern Pennsylvania and every other area who sustained severe damages and flooding as a result of the storm.”

Bass’ Concord Office, located at 114 North Main Street, Suite 202, in Concord (phone: 603-226-0064) and his Nashua Office, located at 70 East Pearl Street in Nashua (phone: 603-595-7701) will be open today from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. to assist constituents.

Bass For Congress - Newport Spaghetti Dinner CANCELED

Macia publicly requests that Kuster and Bass support Open Debates in NH

October 26, 2012 - Canterbury, NH: Second congressional candidate Hardy Macia sends letter to Bass and Kuster campaigns requesting they support open debates in NH by publicly supporting Macia's inclusion in the October 30th Grante State Debates at St. Anselm College.

Macia sent the following letter by email to the Bass and Kuster campaigns and WMUR, St. Anselm, and The Union Leader:

Dear Rep. Bass and Ms Kuster.

I'm reaching out to both of you to ask for your support for fair and open debates in New Hampshire, and ask you to publicly support my inclusion into the final Granite State Debate taking place at St. Anselm on October 30.

New Hampshire voters only have three choices on the ballot on November 6 in the 2nd Congressional race - Bass, Kuster, Macia. Forty percent of New Hampshire voters are registered as undeclared voters, and in the most recent University of New Hampshire Survey Center poll 30% of voters still remain undecided about who to vote for in our race.

It is unfair to New Hampshire voters to shut out the third voice in this debate when so many are still undecided. We live in America, we encourage democracy all around the world, and we should encourage it here at home also by allowing all the candidates to debate.

Sincerely,

Hardy Macia

Libertarian Candidate for 2nd Congressional District

Congressman Charlie Bass Announces Women’s Coalition

Concord, NH – Congressman Charlie Bass (R-NH) announced today his campaign’s Women’s Coalition, a group of more than 150 women from all counties across New Hampshire’s 2^nd District.  

In announcing the coalition, Bass spokesman Scott Tranchemontagne said “As this broad-based, bipartisan coalition shows, Charlie Bass has earned the support of women across the 2^nd District through his efforts to protect women’s access to health care and preventative services, fight breast cancer in this country, and support bipartisan efforts to help victims of violence.” 

In addition, the Bass Victory Committee released a new television ad featuring New Hampshire women’s voices on this election. 

The Bass Campaign video can be viewed here.

Background on Key Issues for Women:

Introduced H.R. 3067 - The Accelerating the End of Breast Cancer Act - with Representative Karen Bass (D-CA) to establish a commission that would focus on the general prevention of breast cancer by helping to coordinate research to avoid duplication of efforts and efficient use of funding among entities trying to find a cure.  Bass was presented the National Breast Cancer Coalition Congressional Award by members from New Hampshire for his efforts. 

Recognized leader in the House pushing for a bipartisan reauthorization of the Violence Against Women Act earning Charlie praise from the New Hampshire Coalition Against Domestic Violence and the National Network to End Domestic Violence.  

Bass was 1 of 6 Republicans to vote against an amendment (H.Amdt.95, RC 93) that would cut funding for the Title X program.  Title X helps low income women access to family planning, preventative health screenings, mamograms, health education, and access to contraception.
