NH Citizens Alliance is working with True Majority this summer to talk to citizens in NH about something they care about, how their tax dollars are spent and The Federal Budget.

To do that we're using a visual, "can you see it now?", OreoMobile!

Affectionately called “OreoMobile” by its creator, Ben Cohen, co-founder of Ben and Jerry’s, the 12-foot stacks of giant Oreo cookies—towed on a flatbed trailer—represent how much of our federal taxes go to education, kids’ healthcare, job training, the Pentagon, and more.

In 15-minute shows in towns across the NH, using the giant Oreos as props, OreoMobile driver Aaron Rubin demonstrates how the citizens of New Hampshire and the American people, want their federal taxes spent—and how this squares with how Congress currently allocates its budget.

The OreoMobile show explains how Congress can—easily and safely—align its federal spending priorities with those of the citizens of New Hampshire and the American people. And the show demonstrates how sweet this shift in federal spending would be for the people of New Hampshire.

For example, polls show that the people of New Hampshire want to increase federal spending on education by trimming waste from the Pentagon budget.

Well, if the Pentagon trims $35 billion currently wasted on obsolete, Cold War weapons, not only could the US begin reducing the deficit and save the lives of millions of starving kids in impoverished countries, but New Hampshire would receive enough money—proportionately—to hire over 2,500 teachers or build 12 new elementary schools here.

We will be kicking off the NH tour with a press conference, featuring Ben Cohen and other NH business leaders, at 10 AM on Thursday, July 28 at the Holiday Inn Concord.

Also the OreoMobile will be at the Lancaster Fair July 30th.
