Hi NH Citizens Alliance for Action supporters!Ann Heffernon
Romney is having a Women for Mitt Picnic Potluck on this Friday in Keene. We are hoping you might be willing to go with signs in hand and join the protest. Here are the details from Mitt's website:
June 22nd at 3:00
Women for Mitt Picnic Potluck
91 West St.
Heberton Hall (adjacent to the Keene Public Library)
Keene NH

Prior to today it looked like Mitt was going to be there but today we got notice from the NH GOP website that indicates that Kelly Ayotte is going to be there instead. Here is that link and below is more details on that: : http://www.nhgop.org/events/detail/4881
THE OPTIONS:
* Show up with signs in hand and join the protest. Would love to see "Keep your Mitt's off Health Care (and/or Medicare)"
* Go to the links, RSVP and infiltrate! You may get to ask a question (see below for suggestions) or you might grab a media person and let them know what you think.
It's very helpful to us here at NHCAA if you give us a quick email report: Did you go; what was it like; did you get to ask a question; talk to the media; which media outlets were there; did you see anything in the news that is noteworthy afterwards. You can just reply to this email for the report out.
Want to learn more about birddogging? There will be a training in Manchester this Thursday 21st at 6:30 pm. Contact Jillian at jdu...@nhcitizensalliance.org.
Also check out the nhcitizenaction.org website for a complete list of birddog opportunities. And please, remember to give us feedback afterwards!
Finally, the Supreme Court of the US is expected to release it's ruling on the constitutioinality of the Affordable Care Act, aka Obamacare, any day now. We'll be having an event the day after at 6 pm at Veteran Park in Manchester so please keep a look out for an eblast and we hope you will plan to attend.
Thanks for taking action to make a difference. Don't forget to see additional info below!

Additional Info:
Picnic info from GOP website:

BIRDDOG SUGGESTIONS:
We'd love to have you birddog Romney's folks on either Health Care Reform (The Affordable Care Act) or Medicare which seems to be a growing issue in the races at all levels.
Should he be there personally, I don't know if you've asked tough questions to him before but he tends to try to catch birddogs by putting them on the spot with a question back. It's clearly a deflection technique that can be thrown right back with, "actually I'm here to ask you questions, not the other way around!"
So proposed questions:
1) Why was Romney Care good enough for Mass. but you plan to repeal "ObamaCare".
2) How do you intend to provide affordable health care to all? (This might be especially interesting if the Supreme Court decision is announced on Thursday.)
3) Why would you possibly think it's ok to take money out of our pockets and put it into the coffers of Big Corporations?
4) How could you possibly justify tripling the Bush tax cuts to the wealthiest American's especially at the expense of our neediest citizens (those who use the social safety net).
Thanks again and we look forward to hearing how it goes! We may see you there, depending on if the Supreme Court announces tomorrow!
Karen
