(Concord) - Two term NH State Senator Dave Gottesman announced today he will not be seeking reelection.

"In his four years in the state senate, Sen.

Group has worked on behalf of Myanmar's oppressive military regime, consulted on 2002 phone jamming scandal

(Concord, NH) - New Hampshire Democratic Party Chair Ray Buckley today called on Senator John E. Sununu to return $2,250 in donations from the disgraced Republican lobbying firm DCI Group. The group made headlines recently due to a Myanmar scandal and revelations that they had accepted $348,000 to lobby on behalf of Myanmar's military junta, and the firm also has a history of unethical activity in New Hampshire as its employees were consulted during the 2002 New Hampshire phone-jamming scandal.

In addition to Sununu's 28 votes against funding for veterans' health care, he voted against funding the VA's prosthetics program for veterans who lost limbs in combat

(Manchester, NH) - Foster's Daily Democrat reported yesterday that the Veterans Administration expects the cost of caring for disabled veterans to double over the coming years from $29 to $59 billion. [Foster's Daily Democrat, 5/13/08] Despite this mounting challenge, John E. Sununu has consistently voted against programs for disabled veterans such as the VA's prosthetics program, and he has earned a paltry 35% legislative record in the Senate from the Disabled American Veterans.
