The New Hampshire Democratic Party (NHDP) is criticizing a recent mailer sponsored by the National Republican Congressional Committee (NRCC).

The mailer says that "Carol Shea-Porter voted to allow criminals to buy homes in our neighborhood," and cited a vote they say allows drug dealers to buy homes with taxpayer money. The mailer also shows a large picture of a hand about the pull the trigger of a gun.

To counter the mailer, the NHDP held a press conference with Tom Katsiantonis, a voter in Manchester, who said the mail "crossed the line."

"Although I know he [Jeb Bradley] has taken negative politics in New Hampshire to a new low, his campaign and the national Republicans crossed the line earlier this week," Katsiantonis said at the conference.

Katsiantonis, who was a victim of a house burglary a few years ago, said the mailer brought back memories of the incident.

"Seeing this image brought back memories that I never wanted to remember again," he said.

The NRCC stood by the mailer in a statement to PolitickerNH.com.

"The only thing that is over line the line is Carol Shea-Porter's abysmal record," NRCC spokesman Ken Spain said in a statement. "She said that she votes with liberal House Speaker Nancy Pelosi 100 percent of the time because she thinks she is 100 percent right. That probably explains why she voted in favor of providing taxpayer-funded programs for criminals to buy homes."
