National Organization for Marriage Goes on Attack Against New Hampshire GOP Majority Leader
NH Freedom to Marry: NOM and Cornerstone Action Well Out of Mainstream

Concord, NH -- The Associated Press’ Norma Love is reporting the National Organization for Marriage “sent a direct mailer to his district in Salem saying he doesn't support traditional family values. He said the mailer was the result of his announcement last week that the House Republican agenda did not include repealing gay marriage." The executive director of New Hampshire Freedom to Marry, Mo Baxley, issued this statement.

“This is a clear effort by a small but well-funded extremist group to bully the GOP House Majority Leader. As any responsible leader would, Bettencourt is focused on creating jobs and economic recovery, the main reason why voters put Republicans in charge in New Hampshire. Lawmakers should be aware of the reams of evidence showing how out of the mainstream NOM and Cornerstone Action really are.”
