Dear Friends of Marriage,
Victory in New Jersey! A few minutes ago, the New Jersey Senate rejected the same-sex marriage bill by a vote of 20-14!
Thank you! Thank you!
Many, many thanks to each of you who made phone calls, sent emails, and prayed to help protect marriage in New Jersey. Yet again, we have witnessed a tremendous victory for marriage in a state where just a few months ago, victory seemed unlikely at best.

Dear Friends of Marriage,
Two days ago, NOM asked its friends and supporters to do whatever was in their power to help stop same-sex marriage in New Jersey. For some of you, that was taking time off work to go to the State House in Trenton. For others, it was making phone calls or sending emails to your state senators.
And for all of us, it was to pray, and contact our friends in New Jersey.

Dear Friends of Marriage,
We've just received word that Senators Loretta Weinberg and Ray Lesniak -- in a startling admission of failure and a slap in the face to voters who had rearranged their schedule to be in Trenton -- have asked to have tomorrow's vote on the same-sex marriage bill postponed. It is being reported that Senate President Richard Codey will accept their request to delay the vote.

Dear Friends of Marriage,
The battle for marriage is heating up in New Jersey!
During four years with Jon Corzine as Governor, the New Jersey Legislature didn't touch same-sex marriage -- it was just too controversial. But now, with Governor Christie set to take office in just a few weeks, and the next election nearly two years away, gay marriage advocates are making a last ditch effort to force the issue during the lame duck transition session -- while voters are paying attention to things like Thanksgiving and Christmas plans, and trying to balance the family checkbook in the middle of an economic crisis that has left many families struggling to make ends meet.

Dear Friends of Marriage,
Same-sex marriage advocates are pulling out all the stops in a last-ditch effort to pass a gay marriage bill in New Jersey before Governor Christie takes office in January.

Dear Friends of Marriage,
The next two months will shape the future of marriage in New Jersey. We need your help today!
After last week's election, gay marriage advocates know they have just two months to pass a same-sex marriage bill in New Jersey. Once Governor-elect Christie is inaugurated in January, he has promised to veto any same-sex marriage bill that reaches his desk for the next four years. Read More »
