UPDATE: Wednesday 3:00 PM – The GOP is taking up discussion in a closed caucus again Thursday, so keep calling, and please share this with all your friends, families, and co-workers!
In New York, Governor Andrew Cuomo today unveiled his marriage equality bill, with a possible 31 of 32 votes needed for passage. We already know the NOM, the National Organization for Marriage promised to spend $1.5 million to defeat the bill, and another $1 million to defeat any GOP Senator who votes for it. Your Senators need to hear from you — and you’ve got about 12 hours, because they are reportedly meeting Wednesday morning to discuss the bill. A vote could come any day, starting Wednesday, though we’ve heard reports of Friday.
Don’t let what happened in 2009 happen again. Not when we’re this close. It won’t happen again until 2013 if this fails — if then.
If you live in New York, we need you to make what could be the most important call of your life to these Senators, and tell them you want them to vote for the marriage equality bill.
It’s that simple.

Also, please call Senator Dean Skelos to make clear that the people of New York — 58% at last count — want marriage equality in our state. As Senate Majority Leader he should make sure that equality for all New Yorkers  is our motto.
