By Susan Brinkmann, OCDS Staff Journalist Proponents of traditional marriage in New Hampshire, where the state legislature enacted an unpopular same-sex marriage law last June, say they are invigorated by the People’s Veto victory in Maine and are planning a new push to repeal the legislation in their state. According to a report by Foster’s Daily Democrat, social conservatives in New Hampshire are planning to put forward two options for a referendum in the New Hampshire State House in January, 2010, the same month that the same-sex marriage law is scheduled to take effect. The first proposal would repeal the same-sex marriage legislation signed into law by Gov. John Lynch in June. The second proposal will be a state constitutional amendment that would allow voters to have a final say on how the state should recognize marriage. "The issue was brought forth against the will of the majority of people, by a minority of people who confuse the issue by saying it was an equal-rights issue," Rep. Jordan Ulery (R-Hudson) told the Democrat. Ulery and four other bill sponsors are behind the repeal initiative and Rep. Dan Itse (R-Fremont) is the driving force behind the constitutional amendment. Although the sponsor of the gay marriage bill, Rep. Jim Splaine (D-Portsmouth), says he believes that attempts to hand the issue over to the people will ultimately fail in the legislature, he told the Democrat, "we have a fight cut out for us in January" once the legislature resumes. © All Rights Reserved, Living His Life Abundantly®/Women of Grace®  http://www.womenofgrace.com
