In the News
Londonderry has made national news, and not in a good way. At the forefront of the news has been our state representative's hateful speech regarding this issue (see below). For more media links, please visit

Excerpts:I disagree. It's not normal. I disagree. So because I disagree on something that was pushed down my throat I'm supposed to roll over and [sic] because, representative, you think it's normal? I'm sorry, you got [sic] the wrong person. No disrespect.
What about what's being disrespectful to sister-sister to love each other. Sister-brother. Sister-mom. Incest. That's in there. They--aren't we discriminigating [sic] all the--against all them?
What about the Muslims now? Everyone's praising the Muslim [sic]--that are killin' us. What about them? They want three, four wives. We discriminated against them. This house did that for a small minority.
I wanted to make sure everyone understood here that this legislature sold the rights of ten thousand dollars per kid under Title IV E when they said that uh homosexuality [sic] couples--not married--can adopt. I wanted to make sure that--he's not here to understand that. So we sold each kid to a homosexual couple that's not married for ten thousand dollars.
