In this morning's news roundup, we linked to a story about how marriage equality activists crowded into the gallery to keep watch on one of the issues prime opponents as he was sworn in, my freshly-minted new Senator Mike Doherty. - - promoted by Rosi. Well-played, Mr. Goldstein.
When hundreds of us packed the Senate gallery yesterday to see the swearing in of Senator Michael Doherty, instead of our EQUALITY The American Dream t-shirts, we should all have worn:
LOVE from your constituents Rosi and Joey

Sen. Ray Lesniak, a solid supporter of marriage equality and a man who knows how to use power when he's got it to use, sent an email to fellow legislators on Friday, urging them to bring marriage equality to a vote in lame duck session and to do so without fear:
... neither the wrath of God nor of voters will descend upon you.
Lesniak cited last week's Rutgers Eagleton Poll finding that more New Jerseyans support passage of same-sex marriage than oppose it, and continued:
Let's vote our conscience. I hope your conscience says support marriage equality, but if it doesn't I understand your view. What I can't understand is not voting.
