Governor Paterson has yet to schedule a special election for the 29th District to fill retired Rep. Eric Massa’s vacant seat in the House of Representatives. Because of this, New York is under represented with numerous crucial bills being proposed and voted on in Congress. If Gov. Paterson does not schedule a special election and waits till November 2010, a new representative will not be seated until January 2011. This is unacceptable!

We’re asking all members in New York to take the time to support this effort and stand with the citizens of the 29th District. Please contact the Governor with your concerns and pressure your elected officials to urge him to take action and schedule an election. If possible write editorials and use new media such as facebook and twitter to get the message out to other NY taxpayers.

The taxpayers of the 29th District have been disenfranchised and have a Constitutional Right to be represented.
