CONCERNED CITIZENS GATHER FOR VISIBILITY ON HIGH GAS PRICES

A group of concerned citizens gathered in Manchester today for a unique visibility to spread awareness about the high price of gas and Senator John E. Sununu's record of protecting $13 billion in tax breaks for oil and gas companies. Eleven citizens spread out along Elm Street, each holding a sign telling a different part of the message, similar to the old Burma Shave advertisements.
"New Hampshire families are paying record prices at the pump, but John Sununu is busy in Washington fighting to protect billions of dollars in tax breaks for oil and gas companies," said Alex Reese, press secretary for the NHDP's Coordinated Campaign. "Middle class New Hampshire families are hurting, but Sununu's priority is to subsidize Big Oil with our tax dollars, even while oil companies are making record profits. Enough is enough."
