NATIONAL ORGANIZATION FOR MARRIAGE: “NEW HAMPSHIRE ATTORNEY GENERAL’S OFFICE DISMISSES ATTEMPTS TO SILENCE US”

(Washington, D.C.) – Today, the National Organization for Marriage (NOM) was pleased to learn that the New Hampshire Attorney General’s Office dismissed a complaint filed earlier this year against them by New Hampshire Democratic National Committeewoman Kathleen Sullivan:

“In our country, we have a right to free speech and to express our political opinions. While Ms. Sullivan would wish that only one side be heard – hers, the Attorney General’s Office confirmed and agreed with us that we all have a voice in engaging and educating constituents about issues that may affect them and their families,” stated Brian Brown, NOM’s President. “Ms. Sullivan failed in her attempts to silence us, and we applaud the Attorney General’s Office for upholding the laws of free speech in New Hampshire and our great nation,” added Brown.

“Ms. Sullivan’s frivolous complaint was yet another example of how same-sex marriage supporters have tried time and again to silence NOM. The Attorney General’s decision today proved that we cannot be silenced, and our advocacy on behalf of marriage between one man and one woman will only become louder and stronger,” said Brown.
