Why We Need To Support Pro-Equality Demsby: PaulHodesThu Jun 17, 2010 at 12:02:34 PM EDT |

( - promoted by Dean Barker) Over the past six months, my opponents have constantly reminded me of how crucial this race is. Whether it's a woman's right to choose or a family's right to affordable health care - they've shown us time and time again what we all stand to lose if Kelly Ayotte, Bill Binnie, or Ovide Lamontagne wins. I wanted to be sure to share this one with you - last week, just one day after she said it would be a "big mistake" to take drilling in New England "off the table," Kelly Ayotte was asked for her opinion on marriage equality and the Defense of Marriage Act at a local Republican debate. Take a minute and listen to her reply for yourself. |

Thousands and thousands of Granite Staters fought tirelessly to make marriage equality a reality here. For me, for this online community and for the majority of the Granite State, it was an extraordinary moment in New Hampshire's history when our state legislature courageously passed a marriage equality bill into law last year. But for Kelly Ayotte, that historic achievement was "disappointing." She wants to repeal the law and take our state and our country backwards. She also promised to always vote to uphold DOMA if she makes it to the US Senate.
I need your help to win in November and make sure Kelly Ayotte never has a chance to cast that vote. The Stonewall Democrats are trying to determine which candidates to help this election cycle. I'm one of 30 that they've identified as deserving of their support, but they have limited resources to spend on just a few races across the country. Please take just a moment and visit their site to vote for our campaign. New Hampshire has always been a strong and independent defender of equal rights and individual freedom - and that's exactly the type of leadership I'm going to take with me to the U.S. Senate. The stakes are simply too high - we need to do everything we can to fight for universal marriage equality and to finally, fully repeal the Defense of Marriage Act. Will you vote today? And as always, please visit my website www.paulhodesforsenate.com for more ways to get involved in the campaign. And, as always, thank you so much for all you do! |
