Dear Friend,You and I know that New York State is facing some serious challenges right now.
A lot of people have lost their homes because of shady business practices. Wall Street and the insurance industry are in need of reform. Too many people try to cheat the Medicaid system and put our state further in debt.
More than ever, we need a strong legal watchdog looking out for us. That's why I have endorsed Eric Schneiderman for Attorney General. And that's why I'd like to ask you to join me in making a contribution to his campaign -- $25, $50, $100, or whatever you can afford .
Why should you help Eric? Because the Attorney General will play a key role in getting New York back on track.
I have known Eric Schneiderman for many years. He has spent time in our neighborhoods, shares our values and has a real record of accomplishment:
• As a lawmaker, he took on big corporations and worked to protect consumers by cracking down on bank and mortgage fraud.
• He tackled Albany corruption by leading the charge to expel a corrupt state senator for the first time in modern history, and wrote the most sweeping ethics reform legislation in a generation.
• He fought to protect our tax dollars by passing the toughest enforcement legislation in the nation targeting waste, fraud, and abuse in government.
Meanwhile, Eric's Republican opponent has taken huge contributions from Wall Street and in return has pledged not to "disturb the garden" of greed and corruption. Eric's opponent wants to turn back the clock on women's rights - even saying in a TV interview that he didn't know whether banning abortion for rape and incest victims was extreme!
We can't go back to the old, passive, go-along to get-along ways of the past. Eric Schneiderman will make a great Attorney General. But to get there, he needs our help. Please join me in making a contribution today so we can elect an Attorney General who will fight for the people of our great state .
Sincerely,
