A rare public post from me: NY State Residents on my f-list - in support of gay marriage rights

I know there aren't many of you, but there are a a few.

A friend of a friend passed this along to me - please, if this is something that you support, get off your rumpuses, pick up the phone, and make the call:

New York Governor David Paterson has opened a phone line to determine how much public support there is for his directive to recognize same-sex marriages authorized and performed in other states and countries. The call is simple and takes about 5 seconds.

Call: 1-518-474-8390

Here's what happens:

Person on the Other End of the Phone: "Executive Chamber, may I help you?"

You: "I want to voice my support for Governor Paterson's same-sex marriage directive."

POTOEOTP: "OK, what's your zip code?"

You: "11576 (or whatever it is)."

POTOEOTP: "OK, thanks, goodbye."

Please share this information with other sympathetic New York State residents.

Thanks,

Dan and Lee
