Assemblyman, I have been told that the Property Tax Cap and Mandate Relief bill (bill A03982) has been passed by the Senate and is now being considered by the NYS Assembly. Please do all that you can to support this bill and get it approved prior to the end of this legislative session. We need this bill passed so that we can finally see some progress towards reducing the tax burden on the hardworking families of New York. Without this positive step, people will continue to leave the State to make their fortunes elsewhere. Thank you.
2. Extending full marriage rights to all couples in New York
I know many of you reading this blog will disagree with me on the following issue. Just so you know, I don't hold this one moment of idiocy against you. Many of you have been brought up to feel that it is acceptable to discriminate against people if they don't fit your definition of an ideal. I may be guilty of this myself, from time-to-time. But when I need to lever my head out of my ass, I read about Suffragettes or the civil rights movement. Both were situations where we discriminated against another group because we felt they were is some way inferior, when in fact, all they were was different than us. During this NYS legislative session we have the opportunity to right another wrong and recognize that two consenting adults, any two consenting adults, can love and care about each other. Any two people that are willing to share their lives with each and commit to the long-haul of life should certainly be granted every right and responsibility that comes with that type of loving, committed, long-term relationship. Please contact your senator and ask them to pass bill S66003.

Dear Senator, Please pass bill S66003 and stop state sponsored discrimination of an important part of our community. Please extend full marriage rights to all couples in New York. Thank you.
Please don't confuse legal acknowledgment of a civil union as an assault on your religion. No one wants to change your religious ideas, whether they are right or wrong!
