EditA challenge from anti-gay groups; Fight Back New York

From Fight Back New York:

Earlier this week, the anti-gay group New Yorkers for Constitutional Freedoms sent out an appeal to raise $200,000 to combat what Fight Back New York is doing during the upcoming primary and general elections. Here is part of their message:

“NYCFPAC’s goal is to raise $200,000 between now and Election Day…In December 2009, 38 state senators courageously voted against same-sex marriage legislation. Supporters of same-sex marriage…are targeting those same 38 senators for defeat…If pro-life, pro-family, and pro-freedom New Yorkers want our elected officials to stand up for our values, we must support those candidates and elected officials who do so.”

This means that they will be pouring money into the campaigns of longtime anti-gay senators like Ruben Diaz and Bill Stachowski.

We need your help to make sure that we have the resources to overwhelm these anti-gay tactics. We know that our strategy is smart and effective–otherwise groups like this wouldn’t be so worried. They know that Fight Back New York played an instrumental role in defeating one of their candidates, the convicted criminal Hiram Monserrate.

Please contribute $20, $50, or $100 today. Remember the anger you felt towards each of the 38 state senators who voted against the equality of hundreds of thousands of New Yorkers? Now you have a chance to FIGHT BACK and send the message that you are in this to win, and will stop at nothing until LGBT New Yorkers have equal rights.

Your support of Fight Back New York helps us tell the truth about these backward and ineffective state senators. Click here for an example of what we’re doing right now in Sen. Bill Stachowski’s distict.

Join us today by donating $20, $50, or $100. Turn your anger into action.
