A Campaign to Block Gay Marriage Hits New Jersey
As reported in Thursday’s Star Ledger, New Jersey’s Largest News Paper.
“A national campaign to block gay marriage came to New Jersey this week as conservative groups began airing radio advertisements and bombarded a key lawmaker’s office with as many as 200 phone calls an hour.The National Organization for Marriage debuted a radio ad warning “powerful special-interest groups want to redefine marriage,” as the N.J. Family Policy Council sent out an e-mail urging people to phone legislative leaders and Gov. Jon Corzine.Leaders of both organizations said they were trying to block an effort to legalize same-sex marriage during the lame-duck session of the Legislature that ends Jan. 8, when new lawmakers are sworn.Senate President Richard Codey (D-Essex) said flatly today that no vote on same-sex marriage will be taken during the lame duck session, but those who fear it had succeeded in tying up his phone lines.“At this point, they’re just wasting their money with the phone calls. Somebody’s giving them bad information,” Codey said. “It’s jamming our phone lines and we can’t do our work here.” He said his office got as many as 200 calls per hour.Corzine’s office got 133 calls today while Assembly Speaker Joseph Roberts (D-Camden) got about 200, according to their press secretaries.”My question is this, what is wrong with these people? Don’t they have anything better to worry about? Health Care, Their Jobs, The War In Iraq, The National Debt, Global Warming, … NO They would not worry about any of those issues as they don’t think they are important, just their Right Wing Religious Propiganda is all they care about.New Jersey does not need any more of these nut cases, I wish they would head back to where ever it is these people live where reality does not matter.
