(As released by group) The following information is being distributed as per the guidance received from the Asifa of the Gedolei HaRabonim of Lakewood on Motzei Shabbos Kodesh Parshas VaYeishev. As lobbying against the Marriage Redefinition bill has seen to be very effective in delaying the Senate vote, further lobbying is strongly recommended. The Assembly leaders will be deciding whether to bring it up in the Judiciary Committee for January 4th and if it passes the committee whether to send it to the full Assembly for a vote.( Please call/fax the following Leaders of the Assembly, and request not to bring it up in Committee or Assembly:

Please talk very respectfully as you are trying to convince these Assemblymen/women to vote against the bill.
Please say that you are firmly opposed to the bill regardless of any amendments, exclusions or oral promises. You may also say that the bill would erode the moral culture needed for our religion to exist and would override our religious rights.
If the Assembly will bring this bill to a vote on January 4th, we are planning an Asifa in Lakewood and/or holding a Tehillim rally in front of the Statehouse in Trenton. To help in arranging this or for more general details, please call 732-552-4979 or 732-370-7161.
if you worry about others breaking the law, stop recruiting shabbos goy
Is that Moishe Bresler from Manalapan Kollel?
I’m anti all toiavos not just same gender marriage. where can I protest the other ones?
Perhaps if we wer emore careful about the other things which the Torah labels “toeivah”, we wound’t be faced with this issue…
to #4 as in what?
Let’s get rid of the toava in our homes before the ones in trenton
1) Can we please have a list of which Gedolei HaRabonim attended “the Asifa of the Gedolei HaRabonim of Lakewood”
2) Tehillim can be just as effective, probably more effective when said from a HaMedrash or at least a Bais HaKnesses and not from a public street in Trenton where I imagine you will look like fools. Or did the Gedolei HaRabonim” sanction that action during said asifa.
3) “V’salmud Toirah K’negged Kulam”
#5: The Torah also refers to improper weights & measures (fraud in business) as “toeiva”. Alas, we don’t see people taking to the streets with the same zeal…
