A message from Karen Testerman: "Let's preserve marriage"!

I received an email from my friend Karen Testerman this morning.  Karen is asking us to make our voice heard and to let the HJC know that we support the repeal.  She writes:


This, Thursday, February 17th, the House Judiciary Committee will be hearing two bills to repeal the state's same-sex marriage law. Both HB437 and HB443 will have the public hearing in Representative Hall inside the State House at 10 AM.


The Judiciary Committee members have been receiving communication against the repeal. They need to hear from you. There is also talk to "retain the bill." This is your chance to repeal Same Sex Marriage this year. Make your voice heard.

Please attend and testify. Let the Committee know that NH wants the 2009 Same Sex Marriage law repealed this year. If you cannot attend the hearing, please email the committee letting them know of your support of the repeal. Please email them with your name and town at: HouseJudiciaryCommittee@leg.state.nh.us.

This is your chance to support marriage between a man and a woman through your attendance and testimony. Let's work together. Let's Preserve Marriage!

Come on New Hampshire...this is a unique opportunity to serve the common good of society!  New Hampshire has been on the wrong road.  Let's change direction before its too late.

Karen Testerman for Governor

If you are a resident of New Hampshire and you believe that every human life is sacred, won't you consider lending your support to Karen Testerman for Governor?

"Man is called to a fullness of life which far exceeds the dimensions of his earthly existence, because it consists in sharing the very life of God. The loftiness of this supernatural vocation reveals the greatness and the inestimable value of human life even in its temporal phase. Life in time, in fact, is the fundamental condition, the initial stage and an integral part of the entire unified process of human existence. It is a process which, unexpectedly and undeservedly, is enlightened by the promise and renewed by the gift of divine life, which will reach its full realization in eternity (cf. 1 Jn 3:1-2). At the same time, it is precisely this supernatural calling which highlights the relative character of each individual's earthly life. After all, life on earth is not an "ultimate" but a "penultimate" reality; even so, it remains a sacred reality entrusted to us, to be preserved with a sense of responsibility and brought to perfection in love and in the gift of ourselves to God and to our brothers and sisters.

The Church knows that this Gospel of life, which she has received from her Lord, has a profound and persuasive echo in the heart of every person-believer and non-believer alike-because it marvellously fulfils all the heart's expectations while infinitely surpassing them. Even in the midst of difficulties and uncertainties, every person sincerely open to truth and goodness can, by the light of reason and the hidden action of grace, come to recognize in the natural law written in the heart (cf. Rom 2:14-15) the sacred value of human life from its very beginning until its end, and can affirm the right of every human being to have this primary good respected to the highest degree. Upon the recognition of this right, every human community and the political community itself are founded.

In a special way, believers in Christ must defend and promote this right, aware as they are of the wonderful truth recalled by the Second Vatican Council: "By his incarnation the Son of God has united himself in some fashion with every human being". This saving event reveals to humanity not only the boundless love of God who "so loved the world that he gave his only Son" (Jn 3:16), but also the incomparable value of every human person." (Pope John Paul II, Evangelium Vitae, No. 2).
