Do You Support Trenton's A.C. Takeover? 
N.J. Republican Support for Gay Marriage?

From Zach Fink over at NJN:
"From what I am told all weekend there were head counts. Democrats are now confident they have the support of at least four Republicans in the Senate including Jen Beck, Sean Kean, Kip Bateman and Bill Baroni. Democrats will not apparently bring it up for a vote without that bi-partisan support.
The situation was described to me as “fluid.” Meaning ( I think ) that there will be a long internal debate about whether to proceed with this. Lawmakers who are in favor seem confident that the votes are there for passage."
The plot thickens....
So I called Jen Becks office to see where she stood about Crazy Corzine throwing this in his lame duck pot and the woman who answered the phone said the Senator wasn't sure and she was weighing all sides.
I said, wasn't sure??? Weighing all sides??? Gay marriage has been on the table for many years across this country and she's only now thinking about it and during a lame duck session of our state at that??
Jackie, the woman I spoke to said she would have Nancy - Jen's Chief-of-staff contact me. I said I'd rather have Ms. Beck call, but apparently she's out of town.

Matt,
Maybe shes working on other things besides the economy. New Jersey has a ridiculous amount of problems that affect everybody at the moment. Your views are your views but don't tell two people they can't get married becuase you are too close minded. Gay people are hard working, tax paying citizens who contribute to society and deserve better than the way the bigots treat them.

You're wrong and you have the right not to agree with me, yet I don't have that same right not to agree with you??? Who is the real bigot here?
I don't have a problem with civil unions and being protected by a civil union. BUT I believe marriage is between a man and woman and because I have THIS BELIEF, I'm a begot?? Why are people trying to force feed their opinions down my throat and bully me with their ways??
BTW Matt I called every politician you listed and asked the same question – “Where do you stand on gay marriage” and I love how, after all this time of it being on this countries table, no one has a stand yet!
I told all the offices I called today that it wasn't their right to vote my voice away in Corzine’s lame duck pot. This is a big enough issue to be on the ballot for the New Jersey citizens to call

How can NONE of these offices have an answer on gay marriage? it's hardly an underground issue.
