 NH Citizens Alliance Calls on Sen. Gregg to Support Jobs and Recovery PackageFor Immediate Release: Contact: Sabrina Johnson NH CITIZENS ALLIANCE CALLS ON SEN. GREGG TO SUPPORT JOBS AND RECOVERY PACKAGE Statement from NH Citizens Alliance Concord, New Hampshire – NH Citizens Alliance and its national partner, USAction, are leaders in the Campaign for Jobs and Economic Recovery. NH Citizens Alliance is issuing the following statement regarding Senator Judd Gregg’s decision to withdraw his name from the Commerce position and return to the U.S. Senate: “NHCA has had an open alert to over 8,000 of our members calling for Senator Gregg to vote “Yes” on the American Economic Recovery and Reinvestment Act,” said Sabrina Johnson, Lead Organizer, NH Citizens Alliance. “Senator Gregg shirked his responsibilities as a Senator by opting not to vote on the recovery package when it was in the Senate. “We began 2009 in the midst of an economic crisis unlike any we have seen in our lifetime. The economic recovery package will provide billions in aid to states, save and create jobs, and make critical investments in infrastructure, education, and energy. The American Economic Recovery Reinvestment Act will provide New Hampshire families much-needed assistance. “It is important for Senator Gregg to do his job now and vote YES for the Recovery and Reinvestment Act. New Hampshire residents have been calling his office and sending letters for weeks imploring Gregg to take responsibility and speak on behalf of the people of New Hampshire.” ### Back to Granite State Progress  |
