Americans for Tax Reform Applauds Grant Bosse
Bosse Acknowledged for taking Pledge; Clegg calls it "publicity stunt"

(Hillsboro)   Republican Grant Bosse has received praise from Americans for Tax Reform for taking the Taxpayer Protection Pledge. The organization has applauded Bosse for his commitment "to oppose and vote against any and all efforts to increase taxes . Bosse signed the pledge on April 15th, Tax Day. When asked if he would sign the Pledge, Bob Clegg refused, calling it a "publicity stunt".

"Bob Clegg is courting the votes of conservative Republicans, but has defended earmarks and thinks the Pledge is a publicity stunt," said Bosse. "I'm earning the vote of taxpayers by making firm commitments to fight taxes, and fight spending."

Bosse is the only candidate to take both the Taxpayer Protection Pledge and No Earmarks Pledge, and is the only candidate to provide specific examples of where he will cut federal spending. Bosse's ground-breaking "50 Days, 50 Ways to Cut Federal Spending" initiative has proposed more than $27 billion in specific taxpayer savings. To date, Clegg has proposed $0 in taxpayer savings.

"I want to thank Americans for Tax Reform for recognizing my firm commitment to fighting taxes," Bosse continued. "The New Hampshire tradition of pledging to fight tax increases is not a publicity stunt."

Why are Taxpayers Funding Foreclosures?

Why are Taxpayers Funding Foreclosures?

Bosse Stands Up Against Congressional Slush Fund

(Hillsboro)  Republican Grant Bosse today called for repeal of the Community Development Block Grant program, which is paying local communities to foreclose on homeowners in financial difficulty.  Bosse is adding the nearly $5 billion dollar program to his list of 50 specific federal programs he would eliminate. Bosse's ground-breaking  "50 Days, 50 Ways to Cut Federal Spending" initiative has now proposed well more than $27 billion in taxpayer savings.

“Paul Hodes has added $4 billion to this program, to help local politicians buy foreclosed properties,” Bosse said.  “That means that banks who made bad loans have less incentive to work with homeowners, and every incentive to sell these properties to big city politicians.”

The Community Development Block Grant programs send out $4.9 billion a year on Congressionally-directed programs, feathering the nests of Congressmen’s local political allies.  Bosse would favor a competitive process for any federal development assistance, and take local development decisions out of the hands of Congress.

“Some very worthy projects have received funding under this program over the years.  But even a stopped clock is right twice a day,” Bosse added.  “Instead of letting Paul Hodes control a $5 billion annual slush fund, let’s leave local development decisions to our cities and towns, and stop subsidizing foreclosures.”

To date, Bosse has proposed more than $27.6 billion in taxpayer savings by eliminating unnecessary federal programs.  Bosse’s opponents have combined to offer $0. To learn more about Bosse’s aggressive grassroots campaign, go to www.Bosse2008.com.

Bosse Puts Corporate Welfare on the Chopping Block

“50 Days, 50 Ways” Targets OPIC

(Concord)  Republican Grant Bosse has added another $63 million to the amount he’d save taxpayers.  Bosse is naming a specific cut to the federal budget every day until the September 9th Republican Primary.  Today’s program on the chopping block is the Overseas Private Investment Corporation, a corporate welfare program that gives taxpayer dollars to companies capable of competing on their own.

“OPIC is a poster-child for wasteful spending in Washington.  Conservative and liberals are calling for its elimination, but Congress won’t listen,” Bosse said.  “If we want our economy to recover, we have to let companies succeed and fail on their own, without political interference.”

Bosse has already proposed more than $22.8 billion in specific spending cuts to the federal budget.  At debates in Nashua and Salem, his Republican opponents were unable to name a single federal program they would cut.

“We need to win back the trust of taxpayers, and that means doing more than talking about controlling federal spending,” Bosse added.  “I’ve made a real commitment to cutting the federal budget down to size, and I’m confident New Hampshire voters will recognize that commitment on Tuesday.”

To date, Bosse has proposed more than $22.8 billion in taxpayer savings by eliminating unnecessary federal programs.  To learn more about Bosse’s aggressive grassroots campaign, go to www.Bosse2008.com.
