Support Marriage Equality in NY
Brian Brown of NOM is suggesting that his supporters contact the following senators asking them to oppose marriage equality in NY.

Right now there are 30 votes committed to passing same-sex marriage in the New York Senate—29 Democrats and one Republican (James Alesi, R-Rochester). Only two more Republicans need to vote for same-sex marriage for a bill to pass the Senate.

The list below are the key possible Republican swing votes. It is absolutely URGENT that you call all of the Senators below and make clear that you oppose same-sex marriage TODAY!

Stephen Saland (845) 463-0840
Roy McDonald (518) 274-4616
Andrew Lanza (718) 984-4073
Greg Ball (845) 279-3773
Kemp Hannon (516) 739-1700
Charles Fuschillo (516) 882-0630
Betty Little (518) 743-0968

Perhaps we could also call and ask them to SUPPORT same sex marriage...especially if you live in NY. This is going to be close and we can counter the NOM opposition. Equality for ALL!

1. My daughter lives in Hannon's district of Levittown
Yes, I told her to call. I also posted the list of names on my Facebook page. Both of my daughters, including my lesbian daughter, live on Long Island and have a lot of friends there.

One more vote. We WILL do this.

4. Fuschillo's district goes into Suffolk
which includes West Babylon and Copaigue. That is where my lesbian daughter and her SO live. Oh, yeah. They will definitely call him.

2. I just called Ball's office. I spoke to someone briefly, said for him to vote for same sex marriage
and before I finished was disconnected. I tried calling back and they're not picking up the phone. I also sent him an email.
