Re: Urgent Message to New York State Voters: Don't Let Obstructionist Republicans Win Back The State Senate

And the support of the people of NY state is what? Do you have numbers
as to what support this has?

Also remember that members of legislative bodies represent their
constituents. Suppose the constituents supported civil unions but not
marriage, something which is common across the country. If the civil
union gave you the benefits of marriage, why would you give a damn. And
if the constituents supported civil unions but not marriage, then that
is what their senators should vote. Did you ask why the 8 Dems voted
against? If they had not voted against it would have passed 32-30.
Blame them!
