NRCC’s RSVP to Annie Kuster’s Manufacturing Summit

Due to travel restraints, the NRCC can’t make it to Annie Kuster’s summit today for a “panel discussion on the challenges manufacturers face in the Monadnock Region and how Congress can support them.”  Fortunately for the voters, we won’t let that stop us from proposing our simple, two-pronged solution on how the Granite State can help ensure that Congress supports the manufacturing industry.

Step one:  Fire Annie Kuster from her job in Congress (coincidentally, Annie tried firing herself from Congress a few weeks ago)

Step two:  Elect someone to Congress who, unlike Kuster, hasn’t repeatedly voted against bills that would help the manufacturing industry.  (Below the quote is a list of pro-manufacturing bills that Kuster opposed.)

NRCC Comment: “Taking advice from Annie Kuster on how to help the manufacturing sector is like asking her for advice on how to pay your taxes on time.  No matter how many manufacturing summits Annie Kuster holds, it doesn’t change the fact that she has repeatedly voted against common sense legislation to help New Hampshire’s manufacturing sector.” –NRCC Spokesman Chris Pack

List of pro-manufacturing industry bills that Kuster opposed:

• The Promoting New Manufacturing Act, which would promote new manufacturing and job creation by increasing transparency and reducing certain permitting delays (Kuster voted NO)
• The Regulations from the Executive in Need of Scrutiny (REINS) Act, which would require the regulations with the greatest cost to our economy to be approved by Congress and signed by the President before taking effect on hard-working American families and businesses.  (Kuster voted NO)
• The Save American Workers Act, which would eliminate Obamacare’s 30-hour week rule that stifles job creation, cuts workers’ hours, and shrinks workers’ paychecks (Kuster voted NO)
• The Energy and Water Development and Related Agencies Appropriations Act, which creates affordable energy for the manufacturing industry (Kuster voted NO)
• The Natural Gas Pipeline Permitting Reform Act, which would streamline the approval process for infrastructure projects to bring affordable energy to manufacturers across New England  (Kuster voted NO)
• The Death Tax Repeal Act, which is supported by the National Association of Manufacturers.  (Kuster voted NO)
