Malcolm Smith has time and again pledged his support for marriage equality for all families. At this time, MENY has no indication that this has changed. We are awaiting confirmation, from Senator Smith, that he still holds true to his promise to bring marriage equality to the Senate floor for a vote. It has always been an understanding that this bill would not come to the floor until it has the votes to pass.

Contact Senator Malcolm Smith's office and in the most polite and friendly way thank him for the pledge of his support for marriage equality. Ask him, "Are you still committed to bringing the marriage bill to the floor when it has enough votes to pass?" After that, let him know that you think it would be helpful to have a public clarifying statement with regards to his intention on this issue.
