New Hampshire Republicans Will Vote for Liberty and Prosperity

Leading candidates Huntsman, Paul and Romney have proven records

January 9, 2012

(Washington, DC) - Log Cabin Republicans encourage New Hampshire primary voters to support candidates who stand for individual freedom, renewal of the American economy and a confident foreign policy.

"Final pre-primary polls out of New Hampshire show strong support for Jon Huntsman, Ron Paul and Mitt Romney. It is not a coincidence that these are also the candidates who demonstrated respect as elected officials for gay Americans and focused on economic rather than social issues," said R. Clarke Cooper, Log Cabin Republicans Executive Director. "Governor Romney, despite his opposition to marriage, continues to stand by his support for nondiscrimination and said in Sunday's debate that he would stand for 'increasing gay rights.' Congressman Paul has a long libertarian record that includes voting for the end of 'Don't Ask, Don't Tell' and consistently opposing the Federal Marriage Amendment. Governor Jon Huntsman is rising quickly in the polls as voters respond to his pragmatic, commonsense conservative message, including his unapologetic support of civil unions. Even candidates like Senator Rick Santorum are learning that his past antigay language is not going to keep him in the top-tier, while Gingrich and Perry, who have doubled-down on divisive rhetoric, are floundering. In the state which proudly proclaims, 'live free or die,' the path to victory is support for freedom for all."
