Also, New York Civic is excited to announce that the public referendum we have just kicked off to close the loophole that exempts 34 incumbents from the two-term limit is quickly picking up steam. This Sunday, the editorial board of the Daily News recognized New York Civic founder Henry Stern and wrote, "The drive has begun to give New Yorkers the term limits law they want and deserve... Get your pens out, people. Sign. Sign." To read the rest of the editorial, click here .
To read more about our effort to collect the 30,000 signatures we need to get this referendum on the ballot, read this article from last week's Wall Street Journal.
We need your help if we are to succeed in getting this referendum before the voters. If you are willing to volunteer to collect signatures for New York Civic's petition drive, please email petition@nycivic.org with your name, address, phone number, and whether you have prior petitioning experience in NYC.
Don't worry. No experience is necessary.
