A voided check made out to NYS for $391 Million

So, how much is Marriage Equality worth to New Yorkers?  According to a recently released report:  $391 million dollars in the first three years after implementation.

So, we would bring in an additional $391 Million dollars into our state, by doing something that would cost nothing:  Legalizing same-sex marriage.

Tourism revenue from becoming a northeastern destination to get married.  Tax revenues from couples moving here to get married, and settle down a family.  Taxes and fees associated with getting married here.

That's money in mine and your pockets, that we are giving up, to placate the minority religious extremist in our area.  To placate old, angry, scared white people.  The same people who most likely fought against inter-racial marriages.

How much is it worth to us to placate an extremely fringe minority?  At last count, New Yorkers supports same-sex marriage by a whopping 58%!!!! (http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2011/06/02/gay-marriage-in-new-york-_n_870523.html)  Only 33% opposed it!!!

Now, what I'd like to ask right now:  Mark Grisanti, why have you not voiced your support for legislation a majority of your constituents want?  Why do you oppose what the people who voted you in support?

Let Mark Grisanti know we want marriage equality in NYS!  He claims to support what will help business in our area, well, this will inject much needed capital into our local economy.  Imagine Niagara Falls returning as the marriage capital of the world, because we have same-sex marriage here!

Let your voices be heard, and tell Grisanti what we want:
Buffalo: 716-854-8705
Grand Island: 716-773-9600 ext 654

Email:  grisanti@nysenate.gov

 Let's blow up his phones, and blow up his inboxes telling him we want marriage equality NOW!
