Paging Bill Pascrell

by: Jay Lassiter

Tue Dec 20, 2011 at 09:43:28 AM EST



Surely by now you've heard that Senator Bob Menendez has signed on to co-sponsor the (LGBT-friendly) Respect for Marriage Act.

Good deal.

Now I don't have an official whip count, but based on lists I've seen, Congressman Bill Pascrell is the only Democrat in the New Jersey delegation to not sign on to this bill. Last I checked, fighting anti-gay discrimination is a part of the Democratic party platform, so surely the Congressman will be on board soon.

So WTF, Pascrell? Don't you want to come to my gay wedding?

A well deserved kick in the butt (0.00 / 0)
This weakly liberal congressman is a member of the House LGBT Equality Caucus who rhetorically supports the caucus goals but has acted to to co-sponsor only 7 of 19 bills that make up the caucus agenda. Although in the early days he was a genuine lefty, his position has since been wobbly.  Get with the program Bill.  

"The work goes on, the cause endures, the hope still lives, and the dream shall never die." - Sen. Ted Kennedy
Pascrell is WELCOME at my wedding (0.00 / 0)
just as soon as it's possible. i just hope he comes as a co-sponsor of the bill (and not just a YES vote.)
