Our rights are at stake ever since the Dobbs decision in 2022. NH would be making a powerful, positive statement to the rest of the country by protecting our rights to equal marriage in this amendment. I am afraid of what NH and this country could become if we don't protect the rights of the people that have been hard won. I have lived in the state my entire life, and I've seen firsthand the downward descent into hatred and malice that many NH residents have made. Hate for their neighbors with a different color skin, hate for immigrants seeking a better life, hate for couples that just want to exist. I am pleading, with the utmost support for this NH constitution amendment, that the committee thinks of the future beyond themselves, and even their children. Don't you wish for everyone to love freely and live equally?
