National Coalition Expert Testimony for New Hampshire State Legislature

Michael Craven, vice president of Religious & Cultural Affairs at the National Coalition, was asked by Cornerstone Policy Research in New Hampshire to write a testimonial for presentation to the New Hampshire state legislature in defense of traditional marriage and the natural family. New Hampshire currently has a special commission that examines all aspects of same-sex civil marriage and its legal equivalents. The commission was created during the 2004 legislative session when a loophole required the state to recognize same-sex marriages from other states. The commission will be open for expert testimony in September when Michael's paper in favor of traditional marriage will be shared.
