Some New Hampshire voters report receiving five separate direct mail pieces from Americans for Prosperity in the last few days attacking Sen. Jeanne Shaheen.
The mailings are all variations on a theme. “Should Obama, Pelosi and Shaheen be making your family’s healthcare decisions?” one asks. “Thanks to Obamacare, the drive to the hospital may have gotten a whole lot longer,” declares another.
The mailings follow a $1 million-plus television ad campaign attacking Shaheen over her support for the Affordable Care Act. Americans for Prosperity, the deep-pocketed free market advocacy group, launched its first ad in January, followed up with a second in April and another this month.
The direct mail campaign comes on the heels of news that 62% of New Hampshire residents purchasing insurance through the federal marketplace have premiums of $100 a month or less and that more than 50 plans from five insurance companies will be available through the marketplace in 2015.
