"It’s Not Just About Ending the War. It’s About Ending Partisanship"

Independent voters from around the country are sending this message of support to New Hampshire voters, 44% of whom are independent and are allowed to vote in the primaries.

Ads will appear in print and on radio across the state in a campaign co-sponsored by the New Hampshire Committee for an Independent Voice (“NH-CIV”), part of the IndependentVoting.org network created by The Committee for a Unified Independent Party (“CUIP”)—a national association of independent voters.

Today’s Nashua Telegraph contains a full page edition of the ad (p. 22). The ad will run tomorrow in the Portsmouth Herald and in upstate papers on Friday. The ad is also on running the radio stations of: WCCM, WKXL, WGIR and WKBK featuring Betty Ward, Concord school teacher and Russ Ouellette, a Bedford business consultant.

The ad describes which presidential candidates have reached out to independents and encourages voters this into account when voting next Tuesday.

The ad also reminds NH independents that they can re-declare their status as independents upon exiting the polling site. Attempts by both Democratic and Republican controlled NH legislatures to limit independent’s long standing right to do so, were turned back by the lobbying efforts of NH-CIV in 2005 and 2007.
