First, we need your help to pull the plug on RGGI!

AFP-NH launched a radio ad detailing the negative effects of the Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative, also known as RGGI, on NH businesses and residents.

CLICK HERE to listen to the ad and share it with others.

The House and Senate passed different versions of HB 1490, which would alter the RGGI program in NH. The House has asked for a Committee of Conference to continue working on the bill. The Senate has yet to agree to meet and continue the work.

I encourage you to call State Senate President Peter Bragdon and ask him to continue to work on RGGI and meet with the House!

CONCORD – A fiscally conservative interest group will launch its second direct mail attack in a week against Senate President Peter Bragdon, R-Milford, over legislation to repeal the Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative.

The postcard mailer going out Tuesday to all registered voters in Bragdon’s new Senate district features a picture of Bragdon and President Barack Obama and asks what the two have in common.

“Senator Peter Bragdon wants to keep NH utility ratepayers trapped in this job and economy destroying scheme that sends NH jobs to China and India and other states that are not part of this job killing scheme,” the mailer says. “Tell him you support an end to NH’s participation in cap and trade.”

The New Hampshire chapter of Americans for Prosperity sponsored the mail piece on the RGGI program; a similar one sponsored by the same group was mailed out at the end of last week.

WINDHAM – Americans for Prosperity (AFP) New Hampshire is releasing a new radio ad today detailing the negative effects of the Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative, also known as RGGI, on NH businesses and residents.

“This radio ad is part of our ongoing effort to repeal this failed cap-and-trade scheme and remove this unnecessary burden from NH businesses and residents,” said Corey R. Lewandowski, State Director of Americans for Prosperity-New Hampshire. “NH ratepayers are calling for relief and we are hopeful that their legislators in Concord will heed that call.”

The 60-second spot, “Pull the Plug on RGGI” is airing on WGIR.

The House has requested a Committee of Conference on HB 1490 which the House passed in March and the Senate passed as amended earlier this month.

“RGGI has meant higher rates, lost jobs and less freedom,” added Lewandowski. “The time to remove NH from RGGI is now.”
