Marriage to be restored in New Hampshire

Traditional Marriage took a blow in 2009. Now it's time to fight back.

When the Legislature and Governor of New Hampshire legalized homosexual marriage in June of 2009, most expected a serious political backlash against the Democrats who rammed it down the collective throats of New Hampshire's Live Free or Die citizenry. However, few expected Republicans to gain both houses of the legislature in NH back, with almost four-to-one margins.

Republicans now control New Hampshire's lower house with 298 seats (out of 400), upper house with 19 seats (out of 24), and the supposedly pro-traditional marriage Democrat Governor John Lynch will sign whatever the legislature sends to him on marriage because he is without longstanding principle on the important topic.

I agree with the Conservative New Hampshire Union Leader that Republicans should deal with the financial crisis first: "Bringing those budgets into balance must be the most pressing and important goal of the new Legislature". But the sanctity of marriage must not be forgotten by the Republicans either.

New Hampshire State Flag

On January 1, 2008, same-sex civil unions were legalized in New Hampshire.  The following year, on June 3, 2009, same-sex marriages were legalized in the state, outraging those in favor of Traditional Marriage throughout the Untied States.

Homosexual marriage was also legalized in Maine during the 2009 Legislative session, but 53% of Maine citizens voted to repeal the law last November, and the citizens of Iowa voted out all three of the judges who legalized homosexual marriage in their State. Officials who bow to the altar of socialistic-secularism should be wary, regardless of what state they are from.

Granite State Republicans: balance the budget and restore marriage this year. Both are vital to this Nation in their own important functions.
