New Hampshire Presidential Primary Report
In the weeks leading up to the NH Presidential Primary on January 8th, 2008, 25 volunteers worked together with our volunteer leaders to make over 1,000 calls to voters! Our continued goal to build a strong grassroots campaign for working people here in NH was a great success! We created a website for undecided voters to find information comparing the presidential candidates postions on healthcare reform, job investment, trade policy and retirement security issues. We made sure voters knew their polling location, how to register to vote and had rides to the polls. We also dropped of voter guides door to door!

Even though the NH Presidential Primary is over you can still check out the candidates positions at our Presidential Primary Resource Center.
Background
In 2006, Working Families Win started our grassroots campaign in NH. With the help of many dedicated volunteers we contacted thousands of voters in the 2nd Congressional District in New Hampshire about the differences between Paul Hodes and Charlie Bass on issues that impact the daily lives of working people.
Nationwide and here in New Hampshire people voted for change in 2006! Many working people are researching the candidates’ views and voting history on important issues like: universal health care, increasing the minimum wage, fair trade, the right to organize and corporate accountability.
In 2007, we monitored elected officials and how their votes impacted working people on issues like: children’s health care funding, trade agreements, the minimum wage increase, the right to organize and Medicare reform. Our volunteers helped plan educational rallies, wrote letters to the editor on important policies impacting our community, communicated with our Members of Congress and Senate about our concerns, and attended Presidential Candidate events to ask important questions.
Join our statewide education and action campaign in 2008 to help continue building a strong voice for working people here in NH!
