New Kuster TV Ad (9/18/2010)

New Hampshire’s small businesses saw a 39% drop in federally-guaranteed loans last year, from $127.8 million in 2008 to $79.8 million in 2009, according to a new report released by congressional candidate Ann McLane Kuster, who spoke about the need for more small business support at the Bow Rotary Club this morning. 

“It is simply unacceptable for Washington to focus its efforts on passing massive bailouts for Wall Street while New Hampshire’s small businesses are struggling,” said Ann McLane Kuster. “Small businesses make up the backbone of our state’s economy and they employ more than half of all workers in the New Hampshire. They deserve to be put first, not last, when it comes to making sure they have the tools they need to grow our economy.”

 Calls for Support for Veterans As They Return Home
 
CONCORD, NH - Democratic congressional candidate Ann McLane Kuster voiced her support today for President Obama’s speech outlining the exit of all combat troops in Iraq by the end of this month, and she added her own call for support to returning veterans.
 
“This month we will see the last American combat troops leave Iraq, and that day cannot come too soon,” said Kuster.  “After spending more time fighting in Iraq than we did in World War II, it is clear that sending more Americans to fight there is not the best way to keep our country safe.   I am proud to have stood with President Obama in his opposition to this war."

CONCORD, NH - Less than 24 hours since it launched, more than 400 NH voters from 128 different towns across the state have signed Democratic congressional candidate Ann McLane Kuster’s petition to pass middle class tax relief instead of repeating the mistake of the Bush tax cuts for the wealthiest Americans.
 
“Instead of supporting the Bush tax cuts for the wealthiest, Washington should have passed tax relief for middle class families, kept the deficit under control, and invested in the job-creation that was missing over much of the past decade.” said Kuster.  “Now is our chance to finally get it right.”

"Tonight the U.S. House of Representatives passed historic health care reform that will make a real difference for New Hampshire families and businesses. This bill will cut the deficit by $130 billion in the next decade alone, extend coverage to 31 million Americans without health care, stop insurance companies from denying coverage to people who get sick or have a pre-existing condition, and close the so-called "donut hole" in the Medicare prescription drug benefit that otherwise leaves thousands of New Hampshire seniors without coverage . . ."

In a sign of broad grassroots support across New Hampshire, more than fifty New Hampshire legislators and elected officials representing districts from Nashua to the North Country endorsed Second District congressional candidate Ann McLane Kuster today.

Our economy isn’t just measured by the stock market - it is measured by whether New Hampshire workers have good-paying jobs, whether our small businesses are flourishing, and whether our companies are able to invest in the innovation that will build a strong economy for years to come. That means investing in job growth, helping small businesses create jobs, reforming tax relief, and returning to tax fairness and fiscal responsibility.
