TAKE ACTION

TAKE ACTION

New York Marriage Equality needs your help.

GOVERNOR PATERSON IS ASKING THE STATE SENATE TO VOTE ON S.4401 IN THE SPECIAL SESSION BEGINNING NOVEMBER 10TH.

ALREADY SENT A LETTER AND MADE A CALL? DO IT AGAIN AND REMIND YOUR STATE SENATOR THAT YOU SUPPORT MARRIAGE EQUALITY FOR ALL NEW YORKERS.

The bill to bring Marriage Equality to New York has reached the State Senate..
And out of state opponents are doing everything they can to stop it…
BUT NOTHING IS MORE POWERFUL THAN YOUR VOICE.

Physical letters are the most reliable way to impact your
State Senator and ensure your voice is counted. Write, then call.

Write a Letter then Call Their Office

By clicking the above "Write a Letter" link, you will be able to send this email, which will also be hand-delivered to the Senator of your zip code:

"Senator-
I, like you, am one of the 53% of New Yorkers who want to see Marriage Equality legalized in the State of New York. I live in your district, and it makes me proud to know that my State Senator is right on this issue. Governor Paterson has proposed legislation, the Assembly has a record of approving it, and I support your effort to bring it to a vote in the NYS Senate.

Please use this letter in any way you can to help bring your colleagues around on this issue. We need to let this legislation have a hearing on the floor of the Senate. Debate the bill on its merits. Put it to a vote. Let us see democracy return to Albany. Let us have marriage equality."

Thank you!

"Women on Love at the Square One Series" November 1, 2009


Yeah, it's my first Christmas Caroling gig today (October?!?! Yup!) and I'm still in rehearsals for my vocal group (www.marqueefive.com)'s Metropolitan Room debut in December, but why not throw in a composer showcase?

"Women on Love at the Square One Series"
Presented by "Golden Fleece: the composers chamber theatre"

An excerpt from 'Women on Love", a theatrical song cycle by Katya Stanislavskaya, will be presented along with excerpts from three other works. A talk-back will follow the performances.

Starring:
Amy Linden
Sierra Rein
Cristen Page

Accompanied by Katya Stanislavskaya

Sunday, November 1, 2009
8:00pm - 10:00pm
353 Studios
353 West 48th St., 2nd floor

I sang a few songs of her's last December for a Christmas new-works show put on by Reed Prescott & The New York Theater Barn. Katya's music is beautiful, intricate, funny and haunting. I'm looking forward to this!

And then I can be seen either in hoop skirt/bonnet or classy little black dress - whichever floats your boat.
