Citizens for a Strong NH Releases First TV Spot: 'What to Cut'

Manchester - June 5, 2013) Citizens for a Strong New Hampshire, a coalition of Granite Staters who support public policies that create jobs, limit government, lower taxes, and improve the economy, has released its first television advertisement, which will begin airing today. Titled "What to Cut," the advertisement focuses on Senator Jeanne Shaheen's deciding vote to pass Obamacare and the negative impact it will have on Granite State families.[1]  

Video of the commercial can be viewed here.  

More specifically, "What to Cut" articulates the impact Senator Shaheen's vote for Obamacare will have on small businesses and their employees if they are forced to cut workers hours to compensate for new regulations implemented by Obamacare.[2]

Michael Biundo, co-founder of RightOn Strategies and a General Consultant for Citizens for a Strong New Hampshire, released the following statement:   

"With Skyrocketing healthcare premiums, New Hampshire is already feeling the pain from Senator Shaheen's deciding vote for Obamacare. Unfortunately for Granite Staters, the worst may be yet to come. Because of mandates in Obamacare that could force small businesses to cut their employees' hours from 40 to 29, harder times for many New Hampshire families could be on the horizon."    

Kristin Beaulieu, Director of Citizens for a Strong New Hampshire, also said the following: 

"While a majority of New Hampshire residents have said they do not support Obamacare, Senator Shaheen has yet to join them in opposition to a law that is already proving to have a negative effect on families in our state. Citizens for a Strong New Hampshire is calling on Senator Shaheen to join with her constituents, work to repeal the current law, and fight for New Hampshire families that will be forced to live with less."   

Citizens for a Strong New Hampshire, Inc. is a diverse, nonpartisan coalition of concerned citizens, community leaders and other stakeholders concerned with promoting and preserving strong families and a strong economy for New Hampshire.
