Reps. Bass and Guinta Targeted for Ethical Lapses

The Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee (DCCC) began calling New Hampshire voters today to remind us of the ethical scandals involving our congressmen. The calls are part of the DCCC’s “Drive to 25” initiative to pick up the 25 seats needed to win back the House majority in 2012.

Voters in the First Congressional District will be told of Guinta’s “mysterious bank account” that he used to help finance his campaign.

Did you know that Representative Guinta was under investigation for funding his campaign with hundreds of thousands of dollars from a mysterious bank account that magically appeared right before last year’s election?

Well, now that bank account has disappeared again, raising troubling new questions about Representative Guinta and his campaign’s finances.

Calls to Bass’ constituents will describe his close ties to and investments in the biomass industry.

Did you know that Congressman Charlie Bass used his office to help his family’s company increase their profits?

Congressman Bass helped his nephew lobby the Secretary of Energy for tax credits and tried to cover it up. Then Bass tried to profit from the scheme himself by investing up to a million dollars in the company.

The calls both end with a request to call the Congressman’s district office and complain.
