Hello

[H2O Man]

[IMG][/IMG]

I am scheduled to go to Albany, NY, tomorrow. It is the annual "meet the legislators" day. I am going to be meeting some assemblymen and senators, possibly even the elusive Thomas Libous. Also, there is a rally planned, and I may be speaking there.

If any of you are near Albany, please consider coming at around 10 am.

Thanks to everyone here who is supporting me.

Pat

[Major Hogwash]

38. Your Governor had better start listening to the people that live in New York.

Or he is finished, politically speaking.

[kohodog]

39. Thank you for leading the way

We are fighting to keep fracking away from the Catskills, another watershed that provides water to NYC. Catskill Mountain Keeper is doing a good job lkeeping people informed and calling for action.

That being said, your action will be an incredibly powerful one against big oil and lobbying effort, perhaps the most powerful yet. I will forward information about your brave stand to the organizations working to stop this insanity.

Thanks you for all you do.

[BlancheSplanchnik]

40. Props, H2OMan. Wish I could be there!!

Some Canadice NY members will be there, that's the group I'm in (well, since work started up again after the Christmas break, I haven't been able to get to meetings anymore )

People from Richmond, Rush, and other Fingerlakes towns will be there too.

Please relay the support of many others of us who can't be there due to work commitments.

XOXOXO

[many a good man]

Be strong Pat. I think about you all day and hope you are well.

the unwillingness of some to even have a discussion speaks volumes as to how indefensible this all truly is.

It would be nice to think Senator Libous would be humbled in the presence of such integrity. Ah, well. It would be nice if the Easter Bunny existed, too.

91. Wished I had seen the thread earlier

I don't live but about 45 minutes from Albany, out in Schoharie County where we are fighting against the hydrofracking. We also went through the disastrous flooding from Hurricanes Irene and Lee. I have been working on the recovery effort with SALT (Schoharie Area Long Term) recovery group. I have followed your postings for several years as a lurker and have recently joined DU. I feel a kindred spirit with you. My prayers are with you, brother. Unfortunately, because I did see this posting way too late, and it's my own fault, I have already spoken with Lopez and Seward and let them know my stand, I cannot be in Albany in time to aid you. Perhaps in the future I can be of more assistance.

[EFerrari]

95. You might be interested in this article about anti-fracking activity in NY:

[Bohunk68]

106. Thanks

The head of Schoharie Valley Watch lives three doors away and we know each other well. They are in the forefront of the battle locally. State Senator Seward is all over the board on this, about like Mitt Romney.

[Leopolds Ghost]

92. Good Luck, H20. We are hoping for the best

I can't imagine how difficult it is, my family's church put up a few hunger strikers for Occupy recently.

[Ship of Fools]

93. Thank you. Hang tough and be safe!
