the Facts: The Truth About the Corporate Special Interest Backers Behind New Ads Propping Up Kelly Ayotte Concord, N.H. -- Earlier today, Kelly Ayotte's Washington corporate special interest backers launched<http://nhdp.us6.list-manage1.com/track/click?u=99da013f2bd49930e82805c66&id=d1ff101191&e=aac58c81e5> a misleading smear campaign to prop up Ayotte's floundering re-election efforts because they know she shares their priorities and is a reliable foot soldier for the interests of outsourcers and big oil, not New Hampshire families and businesses. Ayotte, like the U.S. Chamber of Commerce -- which is backed by Big Tobacco, Big Oil and the Koch Brothers – has repeatedly supported protecting tax breaks for outsourcers, while opposing incentives to bring jobs back to the U.S. The group's president even told those who lost their jobs to outsourcing to "stop whining." Some of the other backwards priorities that Ayotte and the Chamber share: - Opposing efforts to allow student loan borrowers to refinance their loans while supporting budgets that slash Pell Grants. - Blocking the federal Paycheck Fairness Act - Opposing Dodd-Frank Wall Street reform - Protecting tax breaks for big oil - Stopping common-sense clean water protections - Supporting a measure that would have curtailed EPA efforts to limit greenhouse gases -Blocking an increase in the federal minimum wage The Chamber has become “increasingly controversial in recent years,”<http://nhdp.us6.list-manage2.com/track/click?u=99da013f2bd49930e82805c66&id=e6403e14ff&e=aac58c81e5> with CVS resigning its membership because of the organization’s worldwide efforts to prop up Big Tobacco by blocking antismoking laws. Apple also resigned its membership over the Chamber’s anti-environmental efforts and climate change denial. "It's clear that Kelly Ayotte and her Washington special interest backers share the same priorities when it comes to putting corporate special interests ahead of New Hampshire's families and businesses," said New Hampshire Democratic Party Chair Ray Buckley. "Granite State voters won't be fooled by their misleading smear campaigns."

The nation’s largest business lobby is also pushing for further reforms in financial regulations it contends are essential for the health of business.” [The Hill, 4/4/13] The Chamber’s Recommendations Included Repealing A “Provision Aimed At Banning Risky Proprietary Trading By Banks.” According to The Hill, “The Chamber's recommendations to Congress and regulators include ones that would heighten checks on new agencies created by Dodd-Frank, reduce the reach of new restrictions on derivatives, and overhaul the structure of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). The Chamber also called for the repeal of some of the more contentious pieces of the law, including the ‘Volcker Rule,’ a provision aimed at banning risky proprietary trading by banks. It has yet to be implemented as regulators grapple with defining such trades while exempting legitimate business activities.” [The Hill, 4/4/13] AYOTTE HAS REPEATEDLY VOTED AGAINST CLOSING MORE THAN $20 BILLION IN SPECIAL TAX LOOPHOLES FOR BIG OIL COMPANIES AFTER THE U.S. CHAMBER URGED SENATORS TO DO SO May 16, 2011: U.S. Chamber Of Commerce Urged Senators To Oppose The Close Big Oil Tax Loopholes Act.
