As many of you prepare for the holidays and some of you may have already celebrated your holiday, tomorrow morning at 8AM, one of the most important votes in our history will be cast on the United States Senate floor. For many months, we have debated, argued and at times, conversed politely about how we […]
I’ve heard the story only a few times. It doesn’t come out often. Not one of those stories you hear over and over again at every family gathering or on somebody’s birthday. Just need to hear it once, maybe twice, and you don’t forget. I’ve dated my girlfriend for a long time and I know […]

This came into my inbox last night. It’s a gift. A gift we can all use to help get health care passed the same way we got about Obama in office by getting the word out. Are you good at getting on the phone? I know I am! That’s all you need to do to […]
All eyes were on Barack Obama entering Wednesday night’s address to Congress, but a little-known South Carolina Republican may have done more than the president’s combative speech to unify besieged Democrats around health care reform. The night’s defining moment — which Democrats hope to transform into a turning point – came when Rep. Joe Wilson […]
CNN’s poll released yesterday shows a striking generational divide over support of Obama’s health care plan, with the reform being significantly more popular among young people than among adults over the age of 50. Nevertheless, every day I try new responses to those that ignorantly assume I don’t care about health care reform because I’m […]

Dear Allies, Today, the NY Times reports that the Governor and Legislature have struck a deal to reform the Rockefeller Drug Laws. This is only partly true. Yes, the Governor, Senate and Assembly have agreed to reform the laws. But as of now, nobody is entirely sure of the details—which is of course where we’ll […]
There was a lot of movement in Albany last week about the Rockefeller Drug Laws. The ACLU of NY released a major report, strongly stating that the laws have been disastrous for New York State, as they have not improved public safety OR stopped people from using drugs. The report even calls the laws, “New […]
We are almost there…but we need to keep pushing! Yesterday was a monumental day in the fight to repeal New York States’ Rockefeller Drug Laws. The Governor, David Paterson, the Senate Majority Leader, Malcolm Smith and the Speaker of the Assembly, Shelly Silver, all attended a rally in Albany to reform the drug laws! And […]
Lobbyists and greedy politicians, beware. Young people are watching and ready to be heard if you, once again, block the long overdue repeal of the draconian Rockefeller Drug Laws. If you believe in equal justice and fairness, this is your chance to raise your voice, once again, as we demand an end to the Rockefeller […]
