How many solicitations for donations to a federal race have you received in the past few days? The New York State deadline may be more important to your daily life. (The filing date is 7/15, but the cut-off date is 7/11.)
Support the best of the bunch - New York Senate Challengers 2010 - these are worthy of your support!
In many ways, our task of electing a better state senate is more important than the federal races. We can't afford to keep the current bunch of turkeys around next year.
You need to dig deep and give your political dollars to New York State Senate candidates:
Just some of the issues for the state legislature:
Frakking, or how to avoid a Gulf of Mexico type disaster in the Catskills and Southern Tier
Property Taxes Something has got to give, it should be fair
Marriage Equality and a host of other issues that need to be addressed - better - for the LGBT community
Mass Transit Do you go to work? How do you get there
Public Education How much will it cost? Whose taxes will pay for Education?
Housing Rent Stabilization that works. Foreclosure reform.
These are State issues, not federal issues. To have your voice heard on these issues we must have a responsive and effective state government.
