Murphy Leads Ron Paul Small Business Coalition

Ron Paul visited a yesterday and spoke at length about fixing the economy through supporting local entrepreneurs and the working middle class.

Hours later he was in Concord, with many of those same industrious individuals by his side, among them state senator Andy Sanborn (R-Henniker) and Rep. Keith Murphy (R-Bedford).

Sanborn, who owns The Draft Sports Bar and Grill in Concord, among other local businesses, and Murphy, the proprietor of Murphy's Taproom in Manchester, became two of the leaders of the NH Employers for Ron Paul Coalition, which was formed to organize business support for an end to the nation’s ongoing debt, fiscal, and economic crises.

“In his long career Dr. Paul has consistently proven himself a man of integrity and principles; no easy feat in Washington DC,” said Murphy. “He truly stands for real Republican values: smaller government, a balanced budget, and greater freedom. I share those values, and I'm proud to endorse Ron Paul for president.”

“Business owners don't want fancy, shiny political doublespeak," added Sanborn, who chairs the coalition. "We want solutions to problems and want to institute those solutions today so we can fix our challenges today. Our tax and regulatory challenges are so excessive, it's inhibiting our ability to hire and expand. Dr. Paul is the only presidential candidate who has a plan to fix Washington today and restore America."

Murphy and Sanborn are joined on the committee by fellow-businessman Dave DeVoy and attorney Kelleigh Domaingue Murphy.

“I spend all my time staying compliant with government bureaucracies instead of working on my business,” said DeVoy, who owns a variety of gas convenience stores in Belknap County.  “Ron Paul gets it. He supports the middle class, and he understands how taxes and regulations are strangling economic growth.”

“Ron Paul has been at the forefront of fiscal conservatism since entering politics in 1976," added Domaingue Murphy. "He is the only candidate with a solid and consistent track record of fiscal conservatism, and has the integrity and commitment America so needs in these times. It is both an honor and a pleasure to endorse him for president.”
