Binnie Under Fire From Conservative Group

[ccharles000]

As he seeks to make up ground in the New Hampshire Senate primary against ex-AG Kelly Ayotte (R), businessman Bill Binnie (R) has come under fire from a group questioning his conservative credentials. The group, Cornerstone Action, is currently up with a new TV ad and has been aggressively seeking to help Ayotte emerge as the GOP nominee.

According to Cornerstone exec. dir. Kevin Smith, the TV ad buy is $125K and the spot is scheduled to run through early next week.

So just what is Cornerstone Action? The group's website says, "We believe that the traditional family is the fundamental building block of any healthy society, and as such, deserves to be protected and strengthened."

"In 2005, launched Cornerstone Action, which did all of the issue advocacy and legislative advocacy work," said Smith, in an interview with Hotline OnCall. "We are affiliated with both the Family Research Council in Washington and also Focus On The Family in Colorado."
