Help the People of the North Country Get a Fair Share

It is "crunch time" for the Fair Share for Health Care. We desperately need to fix our broken health care system and Fair Share is a good first step. The Working Families Party needs your help to get this critical legislation passed in the State Senate.

"We've only got two more weeks before the legislative session ends, and the money we raise online will pay for more organizing as part of our final push to pass the bill.

We're close. Let's make sure we have the resources to take whatever Wal-Mart and the rest of our opponents throw at us. Please make a donation today.

Our work has gotten the Fair Share for Health Care Act further than any of the pundits predicted. You can read the article that quotes Jen in the Middletown Times Herald-Record online , but time is running out.

Through the end of the session on June 22nd, we're going to double the number of canvassers pressuring recalcitrant, fence-sitting Republican State Senators to pass the bill..."


One of those stalling on the bill is our own incumbent Senator Little, but that is not really surprising since she also opposed the efforts to pass the New York Minimum Wage increase, and she has a 27% rating from the Drum Major Policy Institute (DMI). DMI is dedicated "to change policy by conducting research into overlooked, but important social and economic issues, by leveraging our strategic relationships to engage policymakers and opinion leaders in our work, and by offering platforms to amplify the ideas of those who are working for social and economic fairness."

We need new leadership in Albany, take a moment to check out "The People's Choice for NY State Senate," Tim Merrick and show your support for his campaign to Take Back New York.

Andy Brockway
also will bring us new leadership in Albany and the rumors of Sara Rowden joining the race for Assembly are not true. She will continue to serve the people of Clinton County in the County Legislature. Andy is a strong supporter of Fair Share for Health Care.
