Videos from yesterday's NY Marriage Equality bill discussion

[racaulk]

Over in the Political Videos forum, I just posted several videos of speeches made on the floor at yesterday's New York Senate session on the marriage equality bill. These were several passionate pleas on behalf of equality for all New Yorkers, and the voices of these fine leaders should be celebrated. Here are links to the threads where I posted the videos:

If you missed yesterday's live broadcast, or even if you didn't, please take an opportunity to watch these videos and respond and/or recommend them as you see fit. And if anyone finds more videos like this on Youtube, please post them in the Political Videos forum so we can share them with this community. Just from memory, I remember the comments made by Senators Oppenheimer, Stavisky, and Smith to be quite noteworthy as well, but I can't locate them if they're on Youtube.

1. I'm wrong to want to tar and feather the ones who voted against it.

Terribly wrong.

2. I don't think it's wrong to be angry.

I'm angry too. Let us take our anger and use it to try to replace the 38 Senators that voted "No" with those that are pro-marriage equality.

4. Mine is Tom Duane and it's his job for life.

If it's up to me, that is.
