New Hampshire: Nrcc

From the NRCC:

Rep. Carol Shea-Porter (D-NH) voted last night against protecting millions of Americans who played by the rules, including thousands of her constituents. The motion that she voted against would have prohibited those who lied on mortgage applications from receiving taxpayer assistance. Instead, Shea-Porter has voted along with her party bosses in Washington to reward dishonest borrowers, unscrupulous lenders, and speculators (House Roll Call 103).

Specifically, Shea-Porter voted against a motion that would prohibit taxpayer funds from being used:

to assist anyone who lied about their income or assets on their mortgage application;
to assist any lender that failed to follow proper underwriting standards;
as incentives to lenders to rework loans for irresponsible borrowers;
unless the President submits a plan that provides equitable treatment of all mortgage holders.

WASHINGTON - The National Republican Congressional Committee is leaping into New Hampshire's 1st Congressional District, where U.S. Rep. Carol Shea-Porter (D-Manchester) is trying to fight off a challenge from former U.S. Rep. Jeb Bradley. The committee has purchased $400,000 in the expensive Boston-New Hampshire media market.

The move comes at a time when the NRCC has reduced television advertising buys in districts across the country.  

WASHINGTON – The National Republican Congressional Committee, faced with an increasingly difficult electoral map, is making a last-ditch effort to widen the playing field.

Today the cash-strapped committee contributed a little over $80,000 in coordinated funds to help Republican U.S. House candidate Jennifer Horn run a television advertisement targeting U.S. Rep. Paul Hodes (D-Concord).

WASHINGTON -- The primaries now completed, the National Republican Congressional Committee has begun the process of taking on U.S. Rep. Carol Shea-Porter (D-Rochester), issuing a memo tying the Democrat to Washington, D.C.

“Bradley will face sitting Rep. Carol Shea-Porter, who has spent her two short years in Congress establishing herself as wildly out of touch with the people of her district, much to their discontent,” the committee wrote.
