Senate Leadership Stands in the Way of Marriage Protection Amendment

Currently Senate leaders Senator Joe Scarnati and Senator Dominic Piliggi are standing in the way of allowing S.B.1250 " the Marriage Protection Amendment " from being taken off the table for a vote before the full Senate.  
 
Senators Mike Brubaker, John Gordner and John Eichelberger are making a valiant attempt to get this bill removed from the table for a vote, but leadership is obstructing their effort.  
 
ACTION NEEDED:  
 
1.)  Please contact these Senators:  
a.)   Senate Pro Tempore Joe Scarnati at (717) 787-7084 and e-mail at jscarnati@pasen.gov 
b.)  Senator Dominic Pileggi at (717) 787-4712 and e-mail at dpileggi@pasen.gov 
 
Please BOTH call and e-mail these senators and ask them to move S.B. 1250 off the table. 
2.)  Contact Senate Majority Whip Jane Orie.  As Majority Whip, her job is to �whip� up support for bills.  She has indicated she strongly supports this bill, but has not used her position to help push it forward.  Your message to her:  "Thank you for your support of S.B. 1250.  Please go to Senators Scarnati and Pileggi and ask them to take S.B. 1250 off the table for a vote."   Her number is (717) 787-6538 and her e-mail is jorie@pasen.gov
