Dear Marriage Supporter,
In March, David Storobin pulled off a historic upset: he won a seat in the New York Senate as a pro-marriage Republican in Brooklyn, one of the bluest districts in the entire country. He beat out the strongly pro-gay marriage Lew Fidler and replaced the disgraced Senator Carl Kruger, who sold out his constituents, flip-flopping and voting for gay marriage last year.
Just 10 days into his term, the new Senator Storobin is already making good on campaign promises to stand up for marriage in Albany, introducing the "New York State Defense of Marriage Act" to define marriage as between a husband and wife.
He needs—and deserves—our support!
Following his stunning, come-from-behind victory, Albany's newest Republican continues to shock the establishment, showing that the same-sex marriage debate is not over in New York.
NOM has vowed to spend $2 million in New York elections to oppose those politicians who support gay marriage, and to win for the voters their right to vote on the definition of marriage.
You and I must support this fledgling marriage champion in Albany!
But Senator Storobin is just the beginning! Together, we can elect new pro-marriage allies to the House and Senate this November, and send a pro-marriage majority to Albany willing to fight for the future of marriage in New York.
Supporter, it's time for the elite and the media to start paying attention to what has happened since same-sex marriage was imposed in New York:
- In New York's 9th Congressional District, a pro-marriage Republican congressman was elected to a House seat that was held by Democrats for decades (since 1923 to be exact!);
- Pro-marriage David Storobin has been elected in a heavily Democratic seat replacing a gay marriage backer;
- Republican James Alesi was forced to retire from the Senate after his vote for same-sex marriage made it too difficult to get even compete in his own primary;
- Mark Grisanti faces both a primary and general election challenge and is spending hundreds of thousands of dollars trying to salvage his reputation after voting for gay marriage;
- Senator Roy McDonald is in deep political trouble and has lost critical support over his vote in favor of gay marriage.
By the time all is said and done, those politicians responsible for passing same-sex marriage will be gone and NOM will still be there working with pro-marriage legislators to restore marriage in New York.
Please support David Storobin and his efforts to defend marriage today!
Thank you for all you have done to make these victories possible. These next 5 months are critical as we take the next steps together.
Cumulative donations of more than $99 to NOM PAC NY are reported to the State of New York as required by law.

Prop 8 proponent and witness and director of the Institute for American Values David Blankenhorn, today, in a NYT editorial writes "the time has come for me , to accept gay marriage and emphasize the good that it can do," and explains why:
“For me, the most important is the equal dignity of homosexual love. I don’t believe that opposite-sex and same-sex relationships are the same, but I do believe, with growing numbers of Americans, that the time for denigrating or stigmatizing same-sex relationships is over. Whatever one’s definition of marriage, legally recognizing gay and lesbian couples and their children is a victory for basic fairness.”
I am very proud that a traditional Jew, Sen. David Storobin, is the sponsor of this new bill to defend traditional marriage in NY. He was elected due to overwhelming support by Orthodox Jewish voters in the otherwise Democratic section of Brooklyn that he represents.
It's time to see more like him, as it is scandalous that so many "Jewish" politicians are in the forefront in the fight to redefine marriage and thereby attack the traditional family and the Biblical foundations of America. We need more like Sen. Storobin!
In a statement issue by Dick Cheney and his wife, Lynne, said, ”Our daughter Mary and her long time partner, Heather Poe, were married today in Washington, DC. Mary and Heather have been in a committed relationship for many years, and we are delighted that they were able to take advantage of the opportunity to have that relationship recognized.”
The former vice president added, “Mary and Heather and their children are very important and much loved members of our family and we wish them every happiness.”
NOM is absolutely delighted at the idea of hurting people. So sad.
This is a good first step in overturning this.
Don't forget the two traitors (gop) in Maryland!
How did the repeal effort in New Hampshire work out again? I forgot.
Scott,
The effort is ongoing. To date we were able to turn a historically Democrat legislature over to Republican for the first time in twenty years and now we have to go back and remind our public servants who it is they are supposed to serve.
It is a lot like raising a puppy. In time that little fellow will come to understand who is in charge and what is expected of it in order to keep its place at the dinner table.
