NEW YORK STATE FOCUS: Blogs, Progressive Candidates, Impeachment, Peace Vigils, Groups and Events
NEW YORK ACT BLUE SITE: Sweeping New York...our goal is in sight.
NEW YORK BLOGGING:
The Albany Project gives excellent coverage of New York State politics.
The Daily Gotham covers both New York City (with a slight emphasis on Brooklyn) and New York State politics.
A major focus for NY State right now is the attempt to finally pass the Health Teens Act (S1342). You can read about it here and here, including ways to help.
Let me highlight some excellent candidates running in New York State.
Steve Harrison is running for Congress in the NY-13 race against Vito Fossella, the Republican who recently was arrested for drunk driving and revealed he had a secret love-child. Steve Harrison is a leading advocate for withdrawal from Iraq and has been endorsed by American Heritage Democratic Organization, Kelvin Alexander (Co-Founderof 100 Blacks in Law Enforcement), Gary Lane (Chairman of IBEW Local 3), Gloria Steinem, Democracy for New York City, the Democratic Organization of Richmond County, John Strika (President of IUPAT Local 806), former Assemblyman Frank Barbaro, among others. Steve is the progressive in the race while his primary opponent is a "Democrat" who is also seeking the Conservative Party endorsement and has told the Conservative Party that he opposes gay marriage and is in favor of continued occupation of Iraq. Steve, by contrast, is in favor of marriage equality and withdrawal from Iraq. You can read more about him in his own words on Daily Gotham. You cand donate to his campaign through my Act Blue site. If you live in the NY-13 district, please volunteer for Steve's campaign.
