Dear CV Friend, Within days – possibly even hours – a vote to redefine marriage could happen in the New York Senate.
Governor Andrew Cuomo [CINOP] is eager to sign a bill to redefine the meaning of marriage in the Empire State. Supporters of so-called ‘same-sex marriage’ likely have the votes in the State Assembly.

Everything hinges on New York’s State Senate. Please take 3 minutes and contact two or more of the Senators below – and ask them to uphold marriage. If you live in New York, your calls are even more important! Here are the undecided state senators: This afternoon I called all of them.

Joe Addabo (15, Queens) (518) 455-2322 – I left message on the answering machine.

James Alesi (55, Rochester suburbs) (518) 455-2015 – No space available on the machine. Try it again.

Greg Ball (40, Putnam County) (518) 455-3111 – Talked to person –

Joe Griffo (47, Utica) (5180 455-3334) – There is a continual buzz sound. Try it again.

Mark Grisanti (60, Buffalo, Grand Island, Niagara Falls) (518) 455-3240 – It is just ringing. Try it again.

Recently in both Maryland and Rhode Island, voters worked together to stop the redefinition of marriage. In Minnesota, the Legislature is allowing the people to vote on whether to affirm marriage in their state constitution. So far, marriage is undefeated – winning 31 our 31 times at the ballot box.

[Please pray and support] Archbishop Timothy Dolan of N.Y. He has on a special blog post today:

“Our country’s founding principles speak of rights given by God, not invented by government, and certain noble values – life, home, family, marriage, children, faith – that are protected, not re-defined, by a state presuming omnipotence… We cherish true freedom, not as the license to do whatever we want, but the liberty to do what we ought, we acknowledge that not every desire, urge, want, or chic cause is automatically a “right.” And, what about other rights, like that of a child to be raised in a family with a mom and dad?” Sincerely, Brian Burch

George H. Kubeck, For marriage and tradition the best weapon is the vote, the telephone call or the postcard.
