Earlier today a group of NH's Organizing for America (OFA) volunteers, as well as representatives from the NH Young Democrats, Granite State Progress and America Works, met in a Manchester cafe over a cup of coffee to thank our First District Congresswoman, Carol Shea-Porter, for her strong support of President Obama's agenda.
Congresswoman Shea-Porter was upbeat and personable, filling us in on the immediate steps President Obama and Congress have taken to fix our economy and bring jobs to New Hampshire. She then took questions ranging from poverty to the environment and from student loan forgiveness to healthcare policy. Whatever Boss Limbaugh might want us to think, Democrats are making real progress for the American people ... and she made it clear she is working to bring the same CHANGE to Washington that propelled her into Congress and Barack Obama into the White House.
Finally, Blue Hampshire's own, the incomparable Kris Schulz, presented Congresswoman Shea-Porter with a certificate thanking her for supporting:
* Making healthcare affordable for all Americans;
* Investing in clean energy to reduce our dependence on foreign oil;
* Improving education so our children can compete in the global economy; and
* Cutting the budget deficit in half.
Congresswoman Shea-Porter is a champion for the rest of us, especially our families, veterans and young people. While the coffee was decent, the conversation was magnificent. Kudos to Kris, OFA and, of course, to Congresswoman Shea-Porter. |
