You probably know that gay marriage may be legalized in NJ before the new governor (who is opposed to this) comes into office in January. I was surprised to learn that the decision will come down to the state senate (the current governor is vehemently in favor of it, and the state assembly will vote in favor), and that the decision there hinges on 3 undecided senators. One of those is Jennifer Beck, who represents most of the church area (Marlboro, Manalapan, Freehold, Millstone, Colts Neck, and other towns). She is being heavily pressured by the gay lobby- church people, you need to make your view known NOW before the vote is taken. You can call her at 732-933-1591, or (better) email her at senbeck@njleg.org. Don't complain about the decision after if you don't at least call your representatives now.
I have been disappointed in this whole thing to find that almost no one even in the church knows who their state senator or assembly people are, or what they do. People, we are supposed to be praying for them, as they are in authority over us. How can you pray for them if you don't even know their names? Please learn their names, and pray for them at least once in a while.

Thanks Paastor for pointing this out. Hopefully we will all contact our representative before we regret our inaction. I have made our feelings and intention clear to the senator.
