Thomas Morahan and "The Party of No" Defeat Marriage Equality Bill

This afternoon, State Senator Thomas P. Morahan (SD-38) emphatically disregarded the civil rights of his constituency by voting against the Marriage Equailty bill before the State Senate. While many Democrats gave emotional and logical pleas for its passage, Morahan and other Republicans did not even feel they had to legitimize their reasoning, they didn't join in the debate. And unfortunately, Morahan and 37 other State Senators did not bother to weigh their votes against the Constitution, nor did they didn't legislate for their constituencies.

All 30 Republicans voted no on marriage equality, as did eight Democrats: Addabbo, Aubertine, Diaz, Huntley, Carl Kruger, Monserrate, Onorato, and Stachowski. The bill was defeated 24-38.

Now it's time for Rockland, Warwick, and Tuxedo residents to stand together to defeat Senator Morahan. It's time for Tom to go!
