| It's Wednesday, December 6th, day two of Garden State Equality's "10 Days of Nonstop Activism for Marriage Equality." We ask you take three actions today.
FIRST, THE BIG MOMENT HAS ARRIVED -- HEARINGS IN TRENTON ARE TOMORROW (THURSDAY) MORNING. CAN YOU MAKE PLANS TODAY TO JOIN US IN TRENTON AT 9:00 AM TOMORROW (THURSDAY) AT GSE'S TRENTON OFFICE, 110 WEST STATE STREET, ACROSS FROM THE STATE HOUSE?
The Assembly Judiciary Committee will hold hearings Thursday morning, December 7th in Trenton on the discriminatory and mistake-riddled civil unions bill that goes out of its way not to acknowledge gay couples as spouses. The Assembly gave us this impossibly short notice to minimize the presence of the pro-marriage-equality community.
We'll meet Thursday at 9:00 am in front of Garden State Equality's Trenton office at 11o West State Street. We'll serve coffee and continental breakfast. We'll brief you on site.
We ask you to take off Thursday morning, if at all possible, to attend and express your opposition to the discriminatory civil unions bill. We also ask you to consider testifying. We have a particular need for testimony from clergy, same-sex couples and parents/families. You do not need to RSVP to attend or testify -- just show up.
SECOND, TODAY WEDNESDAY, PLEASE CALL THE FOLLOWING "BIG THREE" OFFICIALS TO TELL THEM: "Support marriage equality. Oppose civil unions because they don't work in the real world and they discriminate against gay families." TODAY PLEASE CALL:
GOVERNOR JON CORZINE at 609-292-6000
SENATE PRESIDENT DICK CODEY at 973-731-6770
ASSEMBLY SPEAKER JOE ROBERTS at 856-742-7600
THIRD, take a moment to watch the magnificent new commercial for marriage equality produced by our friends at BlueJersey.com, the state's leading progressive blog. This is the first commercial in America to show the difference between marriage equality and discriminatory civil unions. Click on http://www.bluejerse...
Thank you for all you do. Best, Steven (917) 449-8918 |
