NH REPUBLICAN PARTY WITHDRAWS AS FOX FORUM PARTNER

CONCORD – New Hampshire Republican Party Chairman Fergus Cullen releases the following statement regarding Sunday’s Republican forum on FOX:

“The first-in-the-nation New Hampshire primary serves a national purpose by giving all candidates an equal opportunity on a level playing field. Only in New Hampshire do lesser known, lesser funded underdogs have a fighting chance to establish themselves as national figures. Consistent with that tradition, we believe all recognized major candidates should have an equal opportunity to participate in pre-primary debates and forums.

This principle applies to tonight’s debates on ABC as well as Sunday’s planned forum on FOX. The New Hampshire Republican Party believes Congressmen Ron Paul and Duncan Hunter should be included in the FOX forum on Sunday evening. Our mutual efforts to resolve this difference have failed.

While we understand that FOX News continues to move forward it is with regret, the New Hampshire Republican Party hereby withdraws as a partner in this forum.”

Note: Not all these State Reps are actually supporting Dr. Paul, some are, some aren't, and some other Rep supporters are not listed but I have contacted them so they can add their names too. They are for the kind of fairness we are used to in NH. - J

NH REPUBLICANS: DON’T LIMIT DEBATE PARTICIPANTS

CONCORD – New Hampshire Republican Party Chairman Fergus Cullen releases the following statement regarding primary weekend debates:

Just got a quick note from the NH GOP.

They thanked me for my part in stopping the bombardment (which in my opinion they DID NOT DESERVE) and even noted that a few of you sent money to show your apologies were sincere. They appreciated that.

I defended you all by saying that you are faithful supporters of Dr. Paul's and correct to be indignant over this turn of events, but most want to deal with it by doing the right thing.
