Caution!
From our friends at Cornerstone Policy Research comes the bad news via email, with a call to action:
House PASSES Bathroom Bill on Re-vote 188-187!
Folks, if you hear the Calliope Music playing again, it’s because the New Hampshire House was in back in session today, and once again, overturned another vote, this time by passing the egregious ‘Bathroom Bill’, HB415, by ONE vote!
In an unusual move, House Speaker Terie Norelli (271-3661) (terie.norelli@leg.state.nh.us), spoke on the House floor and urged House members to vote in favor of this bill.
The House also voted down an number of floor amendments that sought to provide protections to religious institutions, municipalities, and businesses from being open to endless amounts of litigation from those who would sue on the grounds of "gender expression." They even voted down an amendment which would have "tightened up" the language in the bill to only cover those persons with actual biological or physical sexual disabilities – the very people the supporters "claim" they are trying to protect.
The House has now debated this bill for nearly 6 hours over the course of TWO days, even though not a single word has been said yet with regard to the budget!
Where are their priorities?!This bill now moves to the Senate for a public hearing. It is vital you contact your Senator TODAY and tell them ENOUGH IS ENOUGH! Contact them HERE
Also, Call Governor Lynch (271-2121) as ask him to PLEASE exert his leadership as Governor of New Hampshire by stating he will veto this outrageous piece of Legislation!
