Sununu e-mails supporters for donations

U.S. Sen. John Sununu ( R-Waterville Valley) has e-mailed supporters reminding them that today is "Tax Freedom Day" and asked for campaign donations.

According to the Tax Foundation, "Tax Freedom Day" is the number of days it takes Americans to earn the amount they pay in taxes which this years totals 113 days.

"I have always been an advocate of Americans keeping more of their hard-earned money in their own pockets. In New Hampshire, we are fiscally conservative. We believe that people should decide how to spend their own money, not have the government decide for them," Sununu said in an e-mail. "The best government allows entrepreneurs and businesses to grow the economy rather than stifling businesses with more taxes and regulations. Please help me continue to fight for our values in the U.S. Senate."

In the e-mail, Sununu also highlighted his support of the Permanent Internet Tax Freedom Act.

"While I continue the fight for a permanent ban on Internet taxes, last October the President did sign into law my legislation to ban Internet access taxes for the next seven years.  With your support, I will continue working to keep the Internet tax-free and all taxes low.

Please help me to keep fighting in the Senate for fiscal restraint and lower taxes by making your most generous contribution to my campaign. I deeply appreciate your support," the e-mail finished.
