Taking Action 18 mayo 2012

Throughout the next several years, the Let the People Vote coalition will be continuously organizing ongoing activities throughout the state of New York that provide traditional marriage supporters a unified voice of opposition to New York politicians’ recent vote to impose same-sex marriage on all New Yorkers. Let The People Vote brings together many diverse religious and ethnic communities around the central issue of traditional marriage. The coalition will serve as a unified voice in an effort to allow the people to vote on marriage.

Four New York State Senators and Their Same-Sex Marriage Money Dance

Senators James Alesi, Mark Grisanti, Roy McDonald and Stephen Saland Benefiting from Bloomberg-Hosted Fundraiser This Evening

 

New York, NY---- The National Organization for Marriage (NOM) today announced it is running an online advertisement throughout New York state in response to a Bloomberg-held fundraiser this evening for the four GOP senators that betrayed the trust of New Yorkers last summer by exchanging a vote for same-sex marriage for campaign contributions.

The advertisement, called "Money Dance," is modeled after the practice of some brides and grooms dancing for money with supporters at their wedding. In this case, the four Senators -- Roy McDonald, Mark Grisanti, James Alesi and Stephen Saland – are dancing with wealthy contributors like Michael Bloomberg and Tim Gill who purchased their allegiance during the recent legislative session.

"These four state Senators have betrayed New Yorkers in their quest for wedding cash," said Brian Brown, president of NOM. "They abandoned their stated values and their own promises to voters. We want to expose these Senators and their same-sex marriage money dance. NOM and our 'Let the People Vote' coalition will not rest until these legislators are turned out of office and the people of New York are allowed to vote on the definition of marriage."

The online advertisement is the latest in a series of efforts aimed at picking off every New York legislator that did not stand up for their constituents and allow a vote of the people before redefining marriage. Earlier this month, NOM ran a full-page advertisement in The Capitol asking David Weprin how his gay marriage vote worked out for him, referencing his September loss in the 9th Congressional District race. The print advertisement went on to further ask, 'who will be next?' At the end of September NOM and the "Let the People Vote" coalition announced a series of billboards that are being displayed in the districts of Senators McDonald, Grisanti, Saland, Alesi and Shirley Huntely warning them, 'they're next', referring to the pledge NOM made to hold every legislator that voted to redefine marriage accountable. Prior to the billboard launch, NOM funded mailers into the districts of the five state Senators and organized rallies in four cities that drew over 15,000 people. NOM alone has committed $2 million to fund the "Let the People Vote" effort.

The "Let the People Vote" coalition (www.letthepeoplevote.com ) was formed to bring together many diverse religious and ethnic communities around the central issue of traditional marriage to demand that New York voters, just like voters in 31 other states, be given the right to decide the definition of marriage.

NOM Launches Billboards Holding Senators Accountable For
Their Vote To Redefine Marriage
“You’re Next” Campaign Serves Notice That Senators Will Follow Weprin To Defeat

New York, NY---- The National Organization for Marriage (NOM) today announced that it has launched a billboard campaign in the districts of state Senators Mark Grisanti, Stephen Saland, James  Alesi and Shirley Huntley to hold them accountable for their vote last June to redefine marriage in New York. NOM previously ran billboards in the district of Roy McDonald.

The new billboards say of the individual state Senator, “You’re Next” in reference to the defeat of David Weprin in the 9th Congressional District. NOM funded a major independent expenditure campaign in the Weprin race, making his vote to redefine marriage a decisive issue in his defeat in a district Democrats have held since the early 1920s.“Just like David Weprin discovered earlier this month when he faced voters after redefining marriage, Mark Grisanti, Stephen Saland, James Alesi, Roy McDonald and Shirley Huntley will soon discover that the people of New York will not sit idly by while the institution of marriage is redefined without voters having any say in the matter,” said Brian Brown, president of NOM. “NOM and our Let The People Vote” coalition will not rest until these legislators are turned out of office and the people of New York are allowed to vote on the definition of marriage.”
NOM has committed $2 million to the “Let the People Vote” effort, including $40,000 on the billboard campaign.  Previously NOM funded mailers into the districts of the state Senators, organized rallies in four cities that drew over 15,000 demonstrators and helped defeat David Weprin in the recent 9th Congressional District special election.

The billboards urge people to visit the www.LetThePeopleVote.com website. The “Let The People Vote” coalition was formed to bring together many diverse religious and ethnic communities around the central issue of traditional marriage to demand that New York voters, just like voters in 31 other states, be given the right to decide the definition of marriage.

¡Victora! BOB TURNER—AND MARRIAGE—WIN IN NEW YORK!

 Querido partidario del matrimonio:
Tuve el privilegio de estar en la fiesta de la victoria de Bob Turner, ayer por la noche en Howard Beach, y hablar brevemente con el congresista electo después de su dramática victoria en favor de SSM David Weprin. Para aquellos que siguen en Twitter, temprano en la noche hice lo que pensé en ese momento era una atrevida predicción de que Turner iba a ganar por 5 puntos - sólo para ver su margen de crecer como rendimientos del vino en Brooklyn, el establecimiento de su eventual victoria de 8 puntos.

¡Qué gran día para el matrimonio! El Noveno Distrito Electoral de Nueva York, que ganó Obama, Clinton ganó, y que ha tenido un demócrata en el Congreso desde 1923, mostró el martes que el matrimonio es importante. David Weprin, no fue capaz de defenderse en contra de su voto para apoyar el matrimonio homosexual en Nueva York, y sus electores lo dejó claro. 42 por ciento de ellos se oponen a matrimonios del mismo sexo. 29 por ciento dijo que el matrimonio era una cuestión importante en esta carrera. Y el martes la gran mayoría mostró Weprin que han tenido suficiente.

Resumen Una Mirada Atrás

En el 24 de julio, más de 10, 000 gente de Nueva York se reunieron en lugares en todo el estado para protestar contra la nueva ley de matrimonio entre personas del mismo sexo y para pedir a los legisladores a aprobar una enmienda constitucional, dando a la gente de Nueva York el derecho a votar sobre el matrimonio. La multitud en Manhattan fue tan grande que la póliza de Nueva York pidió que empecemos nuestra marcha temprano para que nos podemos aliviar el hacinamiento en el sitio de reunión. Ha comenzado una nueva era en el debate sobre el matrimonio entre personas del mismo sexo. No es acerca de lo que los políticos piensan que es mejor, que se trata de exigir que el pueblo dará su derecho a ser oído. Trabajando juntos, vamos a construir la coalición más grande jamás reunida en la historia de Nueva York, trabajando para poner una medida en la boleta de 2015 para definir el matrimonio como la Unión de un hombre y una mujer. Las manifestaciones 24 de julio fueron sólo el comienzo. En los próximos días, nos presentará las actividades mensuales para los partidarios de mantener la presión pública y construido impulso como cabeza hacia las elecciones de 2012. Le pediremos a cada candidato donde están parados en dejar que la gente a votar sobre el matrimonio. Y si no están dispuestos a comprometer su apoyo al establecimiento de una medida de la boleta electoral, no sólo no consiguen nuestro respaldo, obtendrán nuestra oposición.
