Democracy 2013: One Man…No Vote

the message from Sierra Club I received Yesterday and ACTED UPON

the message from Sierra Club I received Yesterday and ACTED UPON. Would you act, too?

So sad to find out from Sierra Club, that our very own NY State Senator, who happens to be the leader of the State Senate, is refusing to hold a vote on NY’s proposed 2 year fracking moratorium, to coincide with the hard-fought for health study.

  • This legislation already passed the NY State Assembly.
  • Governor Cuomo is expected to sign it.
  • One man has decided there won’t be a vote.

That’s just our “democracy” in 2013, people!
Aren’t you used to it yet?

Sierra Club say they have the votes in the Senate to make this LAW.

Over 100,000 NY residents have stood up against the couple dozen parties interested in fracking up our state.

We have fought over and over. Every win has been met with new end-runs-around NY State residents.

Finally going through the legal process one step from law, and one man won’t even let it come to a vote?

I have written to urge Senator Skelos to put this legislation forward and let it live or die by vote. I have asked why he is doing this.

Please take the time to join me, through the Sierra Club, and contact your NY State Senator to push for a vote.

If Senator Skelos is your representative, too, a personalized note will mean alot.
Feel free to share it with us, and anyone else in the media.

Senator Skelos seems to think the fracking industry shouldn't have to deal with pesky "Democracy".  Let's remind him this is America.
