In total, the political action committee, called Fight Back New York, is prepared to raise and spend in the high six figures range in the State Senate races this year, according to people involved with the committee.

Gay marriage is not a popular item. The conservatives need to tie the supporters of gay marriage to their position, and this will backfire on the libs.

The homoperverts' well funded campaigns have been largely in vain, as history has proven. Consider California, where the campaign chest for faux marriage swelled way about the Prop 8 supporters', and Maine, in which the homo-nazis did even better. Both money well-flushed. The states stand at 31-0 for traditional marriage, where the voters, actual citizens, have had the opportunity to weigh in.

The vast majority of people in this country know that the normalization of homoperversion shouldn't be codified into law.
