On Monday a contingent of traditional marriage supporters will be rallying in Trenton to oppose the gay marriage legislation being considered in the lame duck session of the legislature. The rally is being led by New Jersey Family First.

If you wish to attend the rally here is the information:

We will begin with a briefing and prayer at 8:30 AM in the Cafe in the lower level of the annex. Ask the guards when you check in for directions to the Cafeteria.

You will need a picture ID.

Parking if you get in early (before 9:00 AM) is limited but free in the garage directly behind the State House. 

PARKING, There are other parking lots with a fee and metered parking on the street (bring quarters).

Both the Assembly and Senate will be caucusing and committee hearings are being held by both houses starting at 10 AM, 2 PM and 2:30 PM

Senate Judiciary Committee is at 10 AM. This committee will hear the homosexual marriage bill soon.

Hat tip to loyal Conservative Majority reader John Di Marco for bringing this to my attention.

One additional note: according to Steve Lonegan, Senator Kip Bateman has come out against the legislation. Senators Sean Kean, Jennifer Beck and Bill Baroni, though, still need us to persuade them.

The Democratic legislature, along with dead man walking Jon Corzine, is about to try to pull a fast one during the lame duck session.

As has been feared, the Democrats are planning to put the controversial gay marriage issue to a vote before Chris Christie takes office. My colleagues over at Conservative Majority New Jersey (formerly Conservatives with Attitude!) Sharon Soon and Michael Illions have just posted on this.

Sharon’s post mentions the following:

The New Jersey Family Policy Council has just announced that the Senate Judiciary Committee will post and vote on a gay marriage bill. The bill has been introduced by recently defeated Lieutenant Governor candidate Loretta Weinberg and openly gay Assemblyman Reed Gusciora.

The NJFPC is calling all supporters to call their legislators, notify churches about this bill, and sign the marriage petition (it can be signed repeatedly).

While Michael’s post warns that 4 RINO Republicans are rumored to be in favor of this bill.

The names of the Gay Marriage enablers in the Republican Party should not surprise or shock anyone. They are Jennifer Beck, who once was on the short list to become Chris Christie’s LG pick until it rumored that they had discussed that possibility while he was still a US Attorney.

The next one is Sean Kean, one of the GOP Senator’s who voted to reappoint Liberal Judge Barry Albin, to the New Jersey Supreme Court.

Kip Bateman makes three. Kip voted to repeal the Death Penalty as an Assemblyman 2 years ago and also joined the above mentioned weasel Sean Kean in voting to reappoint to the New Jersey Supreme Court.

And finally, the last of the 4 is Bill Baroni. Baroni was the lone “Republican” vote and the deciding vote that saddled this State with Paid Family Leave Act.

If you are a fellow New Jerseyan who opposes gay marriage, then it’s time to start getting on the phone and telling these legislators to vote ‘NO!’
