As has been mentioned in previous BH postings, the NH Senate will be holding a public hearing on HB436 (marriage equality) on Wednesday April 15, at 9 A.M. in Representatives Hall in the State House.
I would like to thank many contributors of BH for supporting and leading the charge, in particular former State Chair Kathy Sullivan for her many supportive postings. I would also like to congratulate State Senate candidate Bud Martin for his comments in Foster's in favor of this bill. http://www.fosters.com/apps/pb... Kevin Landrigan in today's Nashua Telegraph writes that "Same-sex marriage remains a toss-up, with all 10 Senate Republicans against it, half a dozen Senate Democrats for it and the other six or seven Democrats withholding even private judgment." http://www.nashuatelegraph.com... NHDP Chair Raymond Buckley could tip the scales toward House Bill 436 by coming out strongly in favor of the bill now -- now is the time to fight for marriage equality. It's important for so many people, and we're almost there. As Party Chair Raymond has a strong voice that people will listen to. There are many things Raymond can do to support the bill: he could call John Lynch and tell him this is the thing to do now, talk with the State Senators -- we may have 15 Democrats in the Senate soon, and he can testify in favor of the bill at the Senate hearings. Kathy Sullivan made a difference in the House, and Raymond could make a difference in the Senate. |
