Letizio to Help Introduce 'Small Business Owners for Mitt'

Just weeks before the general election, a Windham businessman is joining with other small business owners in the state to introduce a coalition in support of GOP presidential candidate Mitt Romney.

Al Letizio, owner of A.J. Letizio Sales & Marketing, will attend a press conference on Friday in support of 'New Hampshire Small Business Owners for Mitt Romney.'

Letizio has gained media attention in recent weeks regarding his public support of the Romney campaign. He first joined others to protest President Obama's motorcade as it passed by his business on Route 111. That protest was followed up by his hosting a viewing party for the RNC and a visit from the Americans for Prosperity "Obama's Failing Agenda" bus tour.

The press conference will take place at Central Paper in Manchester.

Joining Letizio will be Frank Kfoury, owner of Central Paper, Jack Gilchrist, the Hudson-based businessman known for speaking at the GOP convention, and former Rep. Laurie Sanborn, R-Bedford, who is running for a District 41 (Bedford and Amherst) seat this election.

The event was originally scheduled for today, but rescheduled for Friday, Oct. 12.

The Romney campaign issued a statement on the event:

Small business owners realize that this election is a choice between two very different visions for our nation’s future. The policies of President Obama have crippled job creators, and business owners know they cannot afford another four years like the last four years. For instance, nearly three-quarters of small business owners blame Obamacare for hurting job creation, and President Obama’s calls for increased taxes on job creators have left businesses hesitant to hire and grow. Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan are offering exactly what our nation needs—real reforms for a real recovery.

The event will take place at 11:30 a.m.
