If you live in NJ and support Marriage Equality ... #1

From Garden State Equality:

No matter where in New Jersey you live, please call New Jersey Senate Majority Leader Steve Sweeney's office now at (856) 251-9801 and tell them you support the marriage equality bill and want it voted on this year, before Chris Christie takes office.

Here's why: Senator Sweeney, who happens to be a good guy otherwise, did us harm by telling reporters this week that the legislature should postpone marriage equality to consider the economy. And Senator Sweeney and the legislature will be in session this Monday, when we do our lobby day. We need your calls to him today.

Who are among those especially suffering in this economy? Same-sex couples denied health benefits because employers won't recognize civil unions as marriage. Imagine being denied health insurance in this economy!

And who would economically benefit when the legislature enacts marriage equality? Everyone! Because New Jersey would make $248 million in revenue in the next three years, according to an independent study, when it enacts marriage equality.

When you call Senator Sweeney's office, please be respectful. You can certainly say you're upset with his comments, but please be respectful. Legislative staffers who answer the phones are nice people who didn't tell him to make his comments.

Please call Senator Sweeney's office now at (856) 251-9801.

You can also send a message electronically, which I just did. You can use this link:

Done.

If this doesn't get passed now, it will never be passed while Fat Ass is running the state.

Absolutely adamgreer. I'm calling from several different phone numbers, and my co-workers are also calling in support, even those that live in NYC (but they're saying they live in NJ when they call).

We have to get this passed ... SOON!!!!!

Democratic Senators are getting cold feet and an idiot from Lakewood (a town that is about 80% Orthodox Jewish, by the way, for those of you who don't live in NJ).

Hopefully, they get this through before Fat Ass gets the keys to the statehouse on January 19.
Senators in NJ get cold feet.
