Metaphorically, that is. There is an empty seat in District 9, Anthony Weiner’s Congressional old seat, which he had to give up in disgrace due to his lack of sexual discretion. (understatement. LOL.) Anyhow, one of the candidates for that seat is a guy called David Weprin. While in the NY state legislature, he voted in favor of redefining marriage. He describes himself as an orthodox Jew. Here is a news release NOM, our sister organization put out, wherein an Orthodox rabbi, Rabbi Zecharia Wallerstein, tells people to vote against David Weprin, specifically because of his vote to redefine marriage.
This race will be interesting to watch. It will be an indication of how much voters care about the marriage issue. According to the Washington Post, “Democrats are already blaming New York Democratic nominee David Weprin’s vote for same-sex marriage from when he was in the state Assembly for alienating Jewish voters.”
This is ordinarily a safely Democratic district. Maybe the politicos will learn something….
