Wheareas, New Hampshire Stonewall Democrats seek full civil rights for all lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender individuals; and

Whereas, President Barack Obama came before us as a candidate, in village, town and city mettings professing and promising to act upon his belief in civil rights for all; and

Whereas, our federal government continues practices contrary to the civil rights of lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgendered individuals; and

Whereas, our president is both the head of the Democratic Party and the leader of the government of the United States of America,

Therefore, we, the undersigned request you, President Obama, to fulfill your promises to take actions to repeal legislation known as the Defense of Marriage Act, repeal the "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" provisions in the military code, eliminate discriminatory provisions in Immigration Law; recognize the marriage laws of states that have broadened their statutes to include couples of the same gender and extended protective anti-discrimination provisions in federal housing, employment and other laws have a disparate effect on lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgendered citizens of the nation.
