Sad Day in Harrisburg

March 16, 2010

It’s a sad day in Harrisburg as marriage in Pennsylvania continues to remain vulnerable to redefinition. All 5 democrats and 3 republicans on the Senate Judiciary Committee halted the advancement SB 707, the Pennsylvania Marriage Protection Amendment.
 
The latest polling in Pennsylvania indicates a vast majority of citizens believe they should have the opportunity to vote on a marriage protection amendment.  Today, eight State Senators voted to deny us that opportunity.
 
Here is a list of the eight Senators who voted to kill SB 707:

Sen. Lisa Boscola: District 18- Bethlehem (610) 868-8667
Sen. Patrick Browne: District 16- Allentown 610-821-8468
Sen. Jay Costa: District 43- Pittsburgh 412-241-6690
Sen. Jane Earll: District 49- Erie   814-453-2515
Sen. Wayne Fontana: District 42- Pittsburgh 412-344-2551
Sen. Daylin Leach: District 17- Del, Mont Cos. 610-768-4200
Sen. Mike Stack: District 5- Philadelphia 215-281-2539
Sen. Mary Jo White: Dist. 21- Franklin, Butler, etc (814) 432-4345

Please call these Senators. Let them know of your discouragement for their lack of supporting the fundamental building block of society and leaving the opportunity of same-sex “marriage” becoming legalized here in our state.

The following Senators voted in favor of SB 707:

Sen. Stewart Greenleaf: Dist 12 Mont., Bucks Cos. 215-657-7700
Sen. John Gordner: Dist 27-  Columbia, Luzerne, Dauphin, Montour, Northumb., Snyder 570-784-3464
Sen. Jane Clare Orie: District 40  Pittsburgh North Suburbs 412-630-9466
Sen. Jeffrey Piccola: District 15  Harrisburg area  717-787-6801
Sen. John Rafferty: Dist 44  Montgomery, Berks, Chester  610-831-8830
Sen. Joseph Scarnati: Dist 25 Cameron, Clearfield, Elk, Jefferson, McKean, Potter, Warren 814-726-7201

Please thank these 6 Senators for their support of marriage.

    Sad day? This was an amazingly HAPPY day, showing that the majority of Senators who were elected are doing their job in upholding the constitution and not allowing the church to get involved in the rights of the people. So sad that you use the bible to mask your own hatred of others.
