This interesting, weird and rather scary interchange began with me sending an e-mail to each of the members of the NH House Judiciary Committee who had an e-mail address listed. I almost immediately received a reply from a representative, not one of mine, none of my reps are on the committee. I am reproducing it without the full name of the representative at this point.

As a married heterosexual woman whose life is filled with friends who are both married and single, straight and gay, all of whom are contributing members of our communities and powers of example of how to live good, productive and caring lives, I urge you to listen to the majority of the people in NH who do NOT want us to take away rights that were granted to our fellow citizens. If you repeal gay marriage in NH, it will be the first time NH has ever taken away rights once granted, a really dreadful precedent for the LIVE FREE OR DIE state.
I hope you will vote ITL on HB437-FN & HB443-FN and then turn your attention to matters that do help NH, growing the employment opportunities and crafting a fair and compassionate budget. Please stop letting your agenda be run by groups from outside our state, and concentrate on what your constituents thought they were voting for.
