Rich Ashooh is an excellent choice to represent the Congressional 1st District of New Hampshire. I have worked with Rich for many years, and he is very well repsected, and a great, compassionate human being. He also cares very deeply about this state, and about restoring once again the great conservative values upon which this state was founded. I am a life-long resident of NH, and also a life-long Republican (and proud of it). I encourage all voters in the 1st congressional district to respectfully condsider supporting Rich Ashooh to be their choice for Congress.

While I recognize and applaud Rich Ashooh's business accomplishments, if he indeed contributed to Governor Lynch's campaign that is a deal breaker for me. Moreover, I have been a Conservative activist for 20 years here in New Hampshire and I have never seen the man to my knowledge. He was not at my Tea Party that I organized in Concord while I was with AFP-NH back in April. Where was he? If you haven't been in the trenches, chances are you are a Country Clubber RINO (liberal). I'm sticking with Giunta who has put his name on the line for NH taxpayers and for liberty.

Man, are there going to be any good candidates to step forward for the GOP?...I'm so not motivated by the field so far...it's all more of the same with a lack luster message...

From this NH Conservative to the aspiring congressional candidate Ashooh...
Sit this one out and stay home.
The last thing NH needs is a political fence sitter along the lines of Gregg, or Snow and Collins of Maine. Ashooh has abdicated his credibility by donating to the opposition and a mealy-mouthed reply to your so called pro-life stance.
Join another board or committee, that seems to be your repertoire.

The current congress is in the middle of a spending orgy. We need fiscal conservatives like Rich Ashooh in Congress to protect our children from having to pay off the mountain of debt they are creating.
- Steven Shawver, Bedford
I love these self-proclaimed fiscally conservative Republicans who hedge their debt by donating to Democrat candidates like John Lynch. Dick Ashooh is a fence straddler masquerading as a Conservative Republican. His credentials just do not wash.
