New Hampshire Becomes 6th State to Legalize Marriage for Gay and Lesbian Couples   Governor Lynch signs bill only hours after legislative approval
CONCORD— Governor John Lynch signed legislation that will give the legal protections of marriage to gay and lesbian couples in New Hampshire.  Acting swiftly and decisively, Governor Lynch signed the legislation only hours after the legislature took the final vote on the issue. “Today is a historic day for all Granite Staters,” said Mo Baxley, Executive Director of the New Hampshire Freedom to Marry Coalition.  “We applaud Governor Lynch, Speaker Norelli and President Larsen and the leadership of the General Court for making sure that all loving, committed couples have the freedom to marry.  Today, our shared values of individual liberty, freedom, and fairness have been upheld.” New Hampshire is now the 6th state in the United States that extends the freedom to marry to gay and lesbian couples.  This new law will go into effect on January 1, 2010.     Statewide LGBT education and advocacy organization.  http://nhftm.org/

Dear [decision maker name automatically inserted here],

As a constituent I would like to to personally thank you for your vote in support of the marriage equality bill and your support of HB 73. This legislation is very important to me and my family. I am so happy that you can see that marriage equality, individual liberties, and religious freedoms are all New Hampshire values.
Your vote for equality is significant and I hope that you continue to show your support on this issue. I know that I can count on you to represent New Hampshire families on June 3rd with your vote to support the Committee of Conference report on HB 73.

Thank you for your continued support and for taking a stand on marriage equality, individual liberty, and religious freedom.

Sincerely,

[Your Name]
