Dear Friend,
Earlier this week, MSNBC's Lawrence O'Donnell devoted his 10-minute segment on the "The Last Word" to political bravery. O'Donnell praised Governor Cuomo as the latest model of political bravery in pushing through the NY Safe Act.
"There's nothing more rare in politics than a politician doing something he or she knows will cost politically, hurt in the polls," O'Donnell says. "Most political careers never involve political bravery. When we see it, we must salute it, we must encourage it, or we risk never seeing it again."
In the segment, O'Donnell also highlighted the Governor's father, Mario Cuomo, who took a courageous stance against the death penalty, despite the political risk.

O'Donnell commends Governor Cuomo for being one of the few politicians who means it when he says, "We are not here to duck the tough issues, we are here to take on the tough issues."
Sincerely,
The Andrew Cuomo Committee
