Do We Want Leaders or Cowards?

“I WILL UPHOLD MY OATH OF OFFICE”

by New York State Grassroots Groups

(Sep. 24, 2014) — NOTE: BOLD action CAN turn the tide in New York. We continue to distribute a “Sea of Visual Protest.” We and The Banner Truck will be on hand at a SCOPE meeting at The Weedsport, NY American Legion, Wednesday, Sept. 24 , 7:00 pm (Clark-Heck American Legion Post 568 at 8844 S. Seneca St., Weedsport, NY) to discuss the following proposal with any and all people and candidates for office who are willing to take a stand. Please read our message below:

Are WE all that stupid?

Since the passage of the Safe Act it has been customary for politicians to make claims they are for FULL Repeal of the Safe Act at public gatherings and in speeches. And then at other times and in legislative sessions those same politicians say it is impossible to pass a Full Repeal of the Safe Act bill. Are WE all that stupid? NO – WE know there are “legislative tools” that could be used to achieve FULL Repeal of the Safe Act but the current incumbent legislators don’t have the conviction or courage to use them. Do WE want leaders or do WE want cowards representing US?

NOW is the time to VOTE or BOYCOTT – after elections is too late – to call the politicians’ bluff. Will they truly represent US or is it just typical election rhetoric (lies)? NOW is the time to force ALL candidates to “Pledge to the People.” DEMAND a “Pledge to the People” for FULL Repeal of the Safe Act and restoration of OUR basic rights. A public “Pledge Record” will list those who make a pledge and those who won’t.

WE have fought hard for almost two years now. The law and the authority are in OUR favor. Do YOU have the courage to stand by YOUR convictions? UNITE – take a stand – Demand a “Pledge to the People” from YOUR candidates for office – BOYCOTT all politicians who refuse.

Act NOW or continue to be “Taxed Into Poverty – Beaten Into Submission.” Be BOLD – Submit the following document to YOUR candidates running for office.

NOTICE to ALL Candidates for Office:

WE, the people of New York, wish to support only candidates for office who are willing to sign a written “Pledge to the People.” We do not demand you make an unreasonable pledge – only a pledge YOU can adhere to. We have developed a reasonable pledge and offer it as a suggestion, hoping YOU will sign it in its entirety. BUT:  You may alter or add to the suggested pledge in any way YOU desire. The content of your pledge will be evaluated. An unanswered or no response to this request will be considered a refusal to sign a “Pledge to the People.”

I / WE hereby offer ____________________________________

Suggested “Pledge to the People”:
