COPY PASTE from Mallory.
Hi Everyone,
I just received this email from Assemblymen Gottfried, our champion in the NYS Assembly on GENDA. The Senate is STILL in session as I type this. Assemblymen Gottfried is asking us to send emails to Senator Klein, Senator Skelos and the Governor to urge them not to close this final session of the Senate without passing GENDA.
Please send an email to each of the addresses linked below. This is essentially our last gasp attempt to get GENDA passed. Please don't let this chance pass us by without trying everything we can right up until the end.
They managed to pass the women's rights bill, its our turn.

Dear GENDA Supporters:
Tell the Senate not to adjourn before passing GENDA!
The Assembly has already passed the bill and now we need the Senate to pass it.
Here's how you can help:
Call or email Senator Jeffrey Klein: 518-455-3595,
jdklein@senate.state.ny.us and Senator Dean Skelos: (518) 455-3171,
skelos@nysenate.gov and tell them you want GENDA to get a vote in the NYS Senate.
Call or email Governor Andrew Cuomo: (518) 474-8390, and tell him you want him to push the Senate to bring the bill to a vote and sign it.
Nathan Schafer, the Executive Director of the Empire State Pride Agenda (ESPA), and I have published an op-ed in the Huffington Post about the importance of passing GENDA (Gender Expression Non-Discrimination Act). Senator Daniel Squadron is the sponsor of the bill in the State Senate.

I hope you'll read the article. I'd like to know what you think.
Very truly yours,
