Group airs energy ad
By Brian Lawson, PolitickerNH.com ReporterAn independent political group has begun airing a television ad examining the energy records of U.S. Sen. John Sununu (R-Waterville Valley) and former Gov. Jeanne Shaheen (D-Madbury).
The ad from the American Future Fund is critical of Shaheen's stance on drilling, while telling Granite State residents to tell Sununu to support the Gas Price Reduction Act, an act that Sununu is co-sponsoring.
"New Hampshire families are hurting from record gas prices. But Jeanne Shaheen opposes exploring huge American oil reserves - offshore, and in Alaska," the announcer states. "While the U.S. remains dependent on foreign oil...and the Wall Street Journal says gas could go to six bucks a gallon."
The ad then informs viewers that Sununu has supported various tax credits and offshore drilling.
"John Sununu cosponsored tax credits for renewable energy. And Sununu supports safe exploration off our costs. Call Sununu - encourage him to pass S. 3202 - for energy security."

Quote of the Day
“In this era of crisis, it is important that all Americans step up in service to our country. In these next five years, the leading national issues will surely be the creation of new jobs, the economy, finance and financial regulation, energy, the environment, infrastructure and foreign policy,” Bestani said in a press release. “I have been privileged to have had a thirty-five year career which has given me high level experience in each of these complex fields. I think I would be remiss if I did not come forward and once again offer to serve our country.”
