An urgent appeal from Garden State Equality

May 12, 2009 by  

Sending to you Tuesday evening, May 12:  THIS IS AN URGENT ACTION FOR WEDNESDAY.  WE ASK YOU TO FORWARD THIS EMAIL NOW TO ALL YOUR FRIENDS AND LIST SERVS:

The New York State Assembly just passed a marriage equality bill.  The New York State Senate still has to vote in the weeks ahead, but this is a crucial news hook for you to CALL NEW JERSEY LEGISLATORS ON WEDNESDAY STARTING AT 9:30 am.

Starting at 9:30 am Wednesday, we ask each of you, no matter where in New Jersey you live, to call the 4 legislators listed below to tell their offices:  ”The New York Assembly just passed marriage equality.  I support marriage equality for New Jersey and I don’t want to wait until the end of the year for a legislative vote in New Jersey.  I want equality for our state now.”

You can put that in your own words – whatever expresses your passion.  Your calls these past months have brought us to edge of having enough legislative votes to pass marriage equality in New Jersey.  Please, let’s keep the heat on!  Here’s whom you should call:

Senate President Dick Codey at (973) 731-6770

Senate Majority Leader Steve Sweeney at (856) 251-9801

Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Paul Sarlo at (201) 804-8118

Senate Judiciary Committee Vice Chairman John Girgenti at (973) 427-1229

If you’re told by the office you’re not a constituent: “I’m calling your office because the Senator holds a leadership position that impacts the entire state.”

If you hear anything substantive in your conversations – something beyond thank you or we’ll record your views – let us know by emailing us at Contact@GardenStateEquality.org. Include which legislative office you spoke with, what the office said, as well as your own name and hometown.

Your activism makes all the difference in the world to tell our side of the story.

On behalf of the entire Garden State Equality Board and staff, please accept our deepest gratitude.  And please forward this email to all the people you know so they call too.

Steven
