Today, our friends at CPR-Action in conjunction with the National Organization for Marriage launched the new television ad “His Word”.
Commenting on the ad, CPR-Action Executive Director, Kevin Smith, stated, “From the very moment the Governor introduced this amendment, we believed he did so as cover for having flipped his position on gay marriage. Much like the “religious amendment” made to HB 436 in the Senate, the Governor and Legislature are playing politcs by crafting sham amendments as excuses to vote for gay marriage and pretending to placate the religious community at the same time . If they were truly concerned about the citizens’ religious beliefs, they would have included language that covers the conscience of private individuals and business owners who oppose gay marriage because of such.”
Smith added, “The bottom line here is the Governor needs to stop playing politics with gay marriage. He said he would veto it if his language did not pass, which it didn’t. It is time for the Governor to finally keep his word, veto this legislation, and get on with the real work of the state.”
The new ad begins airing Thursday, 5/28, on cable and network affiliate, WMUR, in New Hampshire, and will continue through Sunday, 5/31.
