Hey, New Yorkers

[pegkerr]

From sistermagpie:

Just wanted to pass along that Governor Patterson opened a phone line to determine how much support there is for his directive to recognize all legal same-sex marriages from other states and countries.

I just called and it’s really easy and it took under 5 seconds.

You call 518.474.8390 and say you support the governor’s directive.

The lady who answers the phone will ask you for your zip code, make note of it, and wish you a good day.

So if anybody would like to call, have at it!

Edited to add: daharyn adds:

I called after business hours. You can leave a message if you can't make the call before 5 PM. Record your statement when prompted, and include your zip code. (And if you're on Facebook, search for the group named "I called Governor Paterson. Did you?")

Yes, it was!

And I've posted my conversation, in case anyone's anxious about what to say: http://utterings.wordpress.com/2008/06/12/civic-duty/
