Fight Back New York

WHAT'S IN RUBEN'S CLOSET?

Sen. Ruben Diaz has spent the last few years showing that he will stop at nothing to attack and insult LGBT New Yorkers. When we asked you to vote on which senators you wanted us to send packin', Diaz topped the list. We heard you. Now Fight Back New York is gearing up to build the case against New York's most notoriously anti-gay state senator.

Let's be clear - this isn't a typical Fight Back NY race. Ruben Diaz has an annoying political survival instinct, but we want to set the record straight. Fight Back New York can play a unique role in this race by showing in a very public and powerful way that Ruben is not just bad for LGBT people, he's bad for New York. In order to do this effectively, we need your help; we need more ammunition. We need to be able to show voters in his district that he does not represent their interests and is not fit to serve New Yorkers.

Ruben has a murky past, but what exactly is he hiding? Here's what we propose: Fight Back NY will hire expert political researchers to find every piece of information we can on Ruben Diaz. What he's said, how he's voted, what he's done, and what he thought he got away with. We'll post everything online, so Diaz's opponents, the media, and voters in his district will be able to use the facts against him in the primary.

But we need your help to do it. We're only 6 weeks away from the primary election - which will be the one real shot at getting rid of Diaz. Help us fund a search into Ruben's closet. We need to send a clear message to Ruben Diaz - and other senators who think like him: You can't vote and speak out against equality without paying a price. Donate what you can today. We need your help to uncover the real Ruben Diaz.
