Dear Friend,
Despite efforts by the New York State Democratic Party and their
functionaries to silence us, we have broken through to the media with
this campaign's message of Inclusive Democracy, a Green New Deal, and
an Economic Bill of Rights. We ask that you share this important news
coverage to your community, families and allies:

Times Union Op-Ed: Kathy Hochul, Lee Zeldin and nobody
else
"Walk into any supermarket and you’ll find a
variety of breakfast cereals to match nearly any taste. Shop online
and you can select, say, shoes to meet your idiosyncratic
preferences.
This is what we've come to expect in this age of
choice. Almost everywhere there are alternatives to the same-old
boring whatever. Nearly everywhere, we have options to satisfy every
niche, variety that feels infinite and empowering.
Everywhere,
except at the ballot box..."

The
New York Times: For First Time Since 1946, New Yorkers Have Just
2 Choices for Governor
"...this year, for the
first time in over 75 years, the state ballot appears destined to
offer only two choices: Gov. Kathy Hochul, a Democrat, and
Representative Lee Zeldin, a Republican.
The paucity of options
is largely due to former Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo, who championed changes
in election law two years ago that made it far more difficult for
third parties to get on the ballot. The changes to ballot access law
tripled the number of voter signatures required for groups to get on
the November ballot and forced political parties to qualify every two
years instead of four."

on Albany Video: A conversation with Howie Hawkins about the campaign
for Governor
The Times nails the issue: Cuomo, Hochul, and their
Legislature Lackeys have brought democracy in New York to a 75-year
low. And the bar was already disgracefully low.
But we can beat this and make our elections more fair and equitable
than ever — with your help. We
ask that you donate to this campaign today so we can continue fighting
through Election Day.
And, speaking of Election Day, we ask that you take a moment to
look at how you will need to write in our names for Governor and Lt.
Governor, and to share this information with voters:
In Solidarity,
Howie Hawkins and Gloria Mattera
