Paul Simon: Support Campaign Finance Reform
Paul, Albany is shaking our confidence daily. Please say you will only play Governor Cuomo’s $50,000-per-person fundraiser if he fights for and passes campaign finance reform. We’re down on our knees. We’re begging you please to bring this vital reform home.
Why is this important?
Governor Cuomo introduced a campaign-finance reform bill this week that would make big-money fundraiser a thing of the past – and make New York a leader in publicly-funded elections. Ironically, the governor is planning to host a $50,000-per-person fundraiser featuring Paul Simon. With Albany’s legislative session ending in 1 week, the next few days will determine whether Cuomo is really a reformer or just offering this bill as a fig leaf.
Paul is a good guy, though, and he has the leverage to get Gov. Cuomo to actually pass campaign finance reform. Sign the petition asking Paul Simon to only play Gov. Cuomo's fundraiser if he passes campaign finance reform.
