NH gay marriage backers hope for victory Wednesday Let us keep our fingers crossed... CONCORD, N.H. — After a crushing defeat by two votes, supporters hope to succeed Wednesday when a second vote is taken on expanded religious protections needed to win the governor’s signature on a bill to allow gay marriage.
The vote could be the last chance this year to make New Hampshire the sixth state to allow gays to marry.
The Senate, which takes up the protection bill first, is expected to pass it. But the vote in the 400-member House will depend on attendance. Both sides have been lobbying representatives hard. Boston Herald.
A well reasoned argument is like a diamond: impervious to corruption and crystal clear - and infinitely rarer.
Here, as elsewhere, people are outraged at what feels like a rigged game -- an economy that won't respond, a democracy that won't listen, and a financial sector that holds all the cards. - Robert Reich
