NH-01: Lip Service

Frank Guinta in New Hampshire:
Guinta reads to St. Patrick School students

...After reading the book "House Mouse, Senate Mouse," students in Nancy Rollins' first grade class barraged Guinta with questions ranging from, 'What is your favorite color?' to "What do you like about your job?'

Frank Guinta in Washington:

Reach Out and Read - a national, nonprofit organization that promotes early literacy by providing books to children and advice to parents during doctors' visits - was one of several programs which had its federal funding eliminated when the U.S. House of Representatives approved some $4 billion in spending cuts on Wednesday.

...Boulter said the group was devastated when it arrived in Washington Wednesday and learned of the House vote. It made their visits with the various U.S. representatives and senators even more crucial, Boulter said, adding that, on Thursday, she visited with staffers for the offices of senators Jeanne Shaheen (D-NH) and Kelly Ayotte (R-NH) and U.S. Rep. Frank Guinta (R-NH). She did not have time to visit with a staff-member of U.S. Rep. Charlie Bass (R-NH).

She said she pleaded with staffers to have their bosses advocate the restoration of the funding; adding that, while the staffers for senators Shaheen and Ayotte seemed receptive, the staffer for U.S. Rep. Guinta did not.

I love it when public servants reach out to children.

Hate it when they vote against childrens' interests.
