Secretary Clinton: Do right by New York! Pressure the New York Senate to fight for public financ...
We call on Secretary Clinton, as a resident and former Senator for New York, to issue a public statement calling for the New York Senate's “independent” Democratic Caucus to bring the Fair Elections Act up for a vote before the end of the current legislative session.
Why is this important?
Former Secretary of State and U.S. Senator Hillary Clinton, who ably represented the people of New York, is on the record in support of fair elections. New York needs her now as much as ever! Secretary Clinton, we call on you to use the powerful influence of your advocacy for fairness in elections to get the New York Senate to do the right thing for all New Yorkers.
Governor Cuomo has shown he can make things happen when he wants to, but he’s not exercising his legendary influence right now for fair elections. The Governor is arguably the most powerful man in the state of New York, certainly in the New York Democratic Party. This handful of Senators couldn't possibly block this legislation if Gov. Cuomo made it a true priority.
Now, the Democrats in the senate need to hear from someone who's represented New York before, who's been a vocal proponent of public financing. We need Hillary Clinton to make a statement now!
