NJ: 200 Democrats Call for Gay Marriage Vote

Seeking to sway their party’s leaders with a sweeping show of support, more than 200 core Democrats sent a letter today urging the passage of a gay marriage law before the legislative session runs out. The letter, initially signed by elected leaders, government workers, fundraisers and campaign staffers, also was signed by at least a thousand New Jerseyans after it was posted on MarriageEqualityNJ.com.

We are confident that the voters will stand by those elected officials who do the right thing," the letter states.
