Dear Supporter,
As you might have heard, I have enthusiastically endorsed Eric Schneiderman for New York State Attorney General.This was an easy decision to make because I have partnered with Eric for years on many major issues affecting our community. As a lifelong progressive reformer, Eric has fought as an attorney, activist and lawmaker to deliver equal justice for all New Yorkers.
Eric has the deepest, broadest and most diverse grassroots coalition in this race - it's a coalition that only a candidate devoted to fighting for equality and justice can build.
But he needs your help to reach as many voters as possible in this year's competitive primary.
We need an Attorney General who is strong, smart, and tough.
Eric will fight against corporate corruption on behalf of New Yorkers who have been victimized by big corporations, big banks, insurance companies and other special interests that don't play by the rules. He's been a leader in fighting corruption and abuse in state government. He authored the most sweeping ethics reforms in decades and led the charge to expel corrupt Senator Hiram Monserrate after he was convicted of a domestic violence crime.
Whether it's leading the fight to end the draconian Rockefeller Drug laws that devastated our communities for decades or raising the minimum wage or taking on the MTA when it was wasting our tax dollars, Eric has always delivered for the people of this state. I have no doubt that Eric will be an outstanding Attorney General.
But he really needs your help now. There will be a statewide canvass on Saturday August 28th. The staging location for the canvass will be at 330 West 42nd Street.
Even if you can't make it to the canvass, you can still reach voters at one of Eric's many phonebanks or by handing out his literature at local subway stations.
If you are interested in volunteering, please call the campaign headquarters at (212) 242-5393 or email the campaign at: canvassforschneiderman@gmail.com .
Sincerely,
Jimmy Van Bramer
Council Member, District 26
