Please Sign Our Petition
Please sign our electronic petition for reform. The petition states as follows: We, the voters of the State of New York, urge our fellow citizens to vote against incumbent members of the State Senate, the State Assembly and the Governor who refuse to support the following reforms advocated by Common Cause, the League of Women Voters, NYPIRG and us, Students4Reform.Com: Real Campaign Finance Reform, Real Lobby Reform with a Complete Ban on Gifts from Lobbyists to Politicians, Ballot Access Reform and the Mandatory Joint Conference Bill that will break the power of the party bosses and return power to the 211 elected legislators from both parties from around the state. We will vote against Governor Pataki, Leader Bruno, Speaker Silver and any other elected official if they refuse to support these reforms.

      We invite independent voters like you to enlist in our effort.
