MoveOn.org talked me into hosting an event related to their new "Iraq and Recession Report." This report is based on a poll which shows that New Hampshire voters are all too well aware of a reality which John E. Sununu and his fellow Republicans seem oblivious to: that we cannot afford to fight an endless and pointless war in a time of recession. 60% of Granite Staters polled stated that they were very worried about the economy, and 46% said that eneding the war would help.
We will present the report to Sen. Sununu (who presumably will not actually be there) at this local office at 1 NH Avenue, in the Pease International Tradeport in Portsmouth, NH on Thursday April 24 @ 11am. |

Subject line: New poll: New Hampshire voters want to help the economy by ending the war in Iraq MOVEON.ORG POLITICAL ACTION
*** Press Event: Thursday, April 24, 11 a.m. EDT *** MOVEON MEMBERS TO DEMAND SEN. SUNUNU STOP SPENDING ON ENDLESS WAR AND FOCUS ON ISSUES AT HOME WILL RELEASE NEW REPORT: NEW HAMPSHIRE VOTERS SEE ENDING THE IRAQ WAR AS BEST WAY TO HELP LOCAL ECONOMY Durham, NH - On Thursday, April 24, members of MoveOn.org Political Action in the Seacoast Region will release a new report, "Iraq and Recession". The report focuses on groundbreaking poll numbers that show that voters in New Hampshire believe that the billions of dollars a week spent on Iraq war should be invested in economic priorities at home. "Senator John E. Sununu has consistently voted with the President to spend half-trillion dollars on this endless war in Iraq, while ignoring the mounting economic pressures of voters here in New Hampshire. The billions per week we're spending there could be invested in our faltering economy here at home," said Timothy Horrigan, local MoveOn member. "It's time to bring our troops home and use those same dollars for the priorities of most Americans--health care, clean energy, and job creation--to help those hurt by the impending recession." After the event, local MoveOn members will deliver the report to Sen. Sununu at his Seacoast Region office at the Pease International Tradeport in Portsmouth. EVENT DETAILS: Iraq and Recession Report Release at Pease: Who: MoveOn members in the Seacoast Region Where: 1 New Hampshire Avenue, Pease International Tradeport, Portsmouth, NH 03801 When: Thursday, April 24 at 11 a.m., Eastern Daylight time What: Local residents unveil never-released before poll numbers of New Hampshire voters: Voters want to help the economy by ending the war. ***Excellent visuals: signs, speakers *** ### |
