Grabbed this from facebook. It has email addresses of NJ senators. Please take the time to email...
TWO seconds of your time for same-sex couples in NJ! The new NJ Govenor will definitely veto same-sex marriage. BUT, our former govenor is still in office for a few more weeks. So, NJ is trying to get same-sex marriage on the books on MONDAY!!!! PLEASE HELP!
IT WILL TAKE A MOMENT OF YOUR TIME.
All you have to do is send the following letter to the following emails (they are the state senators on the NJ judiciary committee). Just copy the addresses and the letter and send. It is probably "better" if you send a personal letter (especially if you are from NJ and include your hometown's name); but, the following example makes it super easy and allows EVERYONE to send a letter!!
PLEASE PLEASE DO IT. THE VOTE IS ON MONDAY!
Let me know if you have ANY questions! Please invite people to help out!!

SUBJECT LINE: Please Support Same-Sex Marriage
Dear Senators:
When New Jersey passed its civil unions law in 2006, New Jerseyans thought it would finally mean equality for our state's gay and lesbian couples. But three years later, we have learned that only marriage can protect the rights of New Jersey's families.
That's why I'm writing you today. I want to urge you to support legislation guaranteeing the right of gay and lesbian couples to marry, before it's too late.
We're not yet certain of all of Governor-elect Chris Christie's positions, but we're sure of one thing: He will not support marriage for gay couples. Governor Corzine has just weeks to sign marriage into law, which he swore to do. Your vote for equal rights has never mattered more.
A state commission found last year that gay and lesbian families suffer because civil unions are not equal to marriages. Same-sex couples routinely face discrimination in health care, taxes, education, and virtually every aspect of their lives because people are confused by the meaning of the alien term "civil union."
Civil unions establish the rights of gay couples on paper, but they deny gay couples those rights in practice.
Marriage equality would also do more than protect the rights of gay and lesbian couples -- it would boost the finances of an economically battered New Jersey. People would flock to our state for weddings, while others would choose to move to New Jersey, knowing they can live their lives in the security only a marriage can provide.
It's time that all families in New Jersey are treated as equal. We're counting on you to do the right thing by voting for their rights.
Thank you for your time. [/B]
