NOM Threatens GOP State Senators In New York - Topix

Dear Friend of Marriage,

I wanted you to be one of the first to know of exciting new developments on the ground in New York.

On the heels of the chaos in Albany which has thrown the future of marriage into doubt, NOM yesterday announced the formation of a state political action committee, NOM PAC New York, allowing NOM to engage in New York state legislative races ahead of the 2010 elections.

You and I both know that gay marriage is not high on the list of voters' priorities, but again and again we've seen politicians respond to political money thrown around by Tim Gill and his friends and ignore the wishes of their own constituents.

NOM PAC New York will be a vehicle for swelling the voices of the thousands of New Yorkers who have already called up their legislators and told them: Don't mess with marriage in New York.

New York promises to be a key marriage battleground in the 2010 elections,
and we need your help! Together, we'll begin to counter the gay marriage activists
who have been pouring hundreds of thousands of dollars into New York for the past decade.

The first $500,000 raised by NOM PAC New York will be used to fund a primary challenger to any GOP state senator in New York who votes for gay marriage. Once that is accomplished, we will look to aid Democratic candidates who want to buck the establishment on the marriage issue, and to help in general election contests.

In just the past month, as the news broke that the state senate might soon be voting for gay marriage, NOM entered the state battle with a $600,000 media and voter outreach campaign working in 25 state senate districts.

We are now in direct contact with thousands of New Yorkers in every senate district who care about the marriage issue. They have a warning for Albany: Vote our values or we'll find someone who else who will.

NOM PAC New York is the vehicle to help bring much-needed change to the New York legislature.

Will you stand with us today as we launch this exciting new chapter in New York politics?
Your gift of $35, $50, or even $500, will allow us to protect legislators targeted by gay
marriage activists and challenge those politicians who refuse to listen to their constituents.



Thanks for all you do. Together, we can help turn the page on a new chapter in New York politics.

Faithfully,

Brian S. Brown
