NYSAC Update & More Calls Now!!!

Three Phone Calls must be made on Monday, & Tuesday (June 28 & 29)

Since the Tuesday June 22 message, there has been a great deal of forward movement in the Assembly. Your calls have gotten the attention of the Speaker’s office and our lobbyist David Carroll is having productive conversations with Assembly Member Deborah Glick’s staff.

The legislative session will extend into next week, probably through Wednesday. We need two things to happen: 1) Speaker Silver needs to direct his staff to move Assembly Bill A03717A onto the floor and 2) Assembly Member Glick needs to move the Bill out of the Higher Education Committee as well.

The Senate Bill S 5512-A (the Senate look-alike) is ready to move, but the Senate will not act until the Assembly has committed to moving the bill. All our energy needs to be focused on the Assembly.

Our Assembly sponsor Assembly Member Grace Meng is working very hard right now on our behalf. She needs our help. Please make these three calls ASAP.

Three Phone Calls that must be made on Friday, Monday, & Tuesday (June 25, 28, 29)

Making these calls sooner than later is best.

If you have already called these offices find any New York State voter and get them to call. Callers can be friends, parents, patients etc… But calls must be made!!

Please continue to be courteous and friendly. We have been complemented on the quality of the calls. Keep up the good work.

Please make these calls or have someone else make them now.
