As I am sure you know, Governor Paterson has put the Marriage Equality bill on the State Senate’s agenda for today, November 10. During his address to the state legislature yesterday, the Governor reiterated his support for equality by saying that “Because justice delayed is justice denied, I am asking both sides of the aisle to take up marriage equality this week.”

Contact your State Senator and express your support for being on the right side of history with their support and vote for the Marriage Equality bill in bringing it to a floor vote today. In Western New York, Sen. Bill Stachowski is our top target—a Democrat who does not support equal marriage. Call his office locally: 716-826-3344 or in Albany: 518-466-2426.
