Dear Friend,
Two weeks ago, thanks to the Governor's leadership and the courage of the NY Senate and Assembly, New York State put in place the toughest gun laws in the nation. The NY Safe Act's measures are aimed at keeping guns out of the hands of criminals and the mentally ill while respecting the rights of legal gun owners.
Yesterday, New York Times Editorial page editor Andrew Rosenthal praised the Governor for getting "the value of boldness," and ignoring the political impact of passing such difficult legislation.
Rosenthal writes that the Governor "deserves a lot of credit" for taking on gun reform, despite the political sensitivity to the issue across the country.

As the Governor said on a radio appearance yesterday, "I'm not here to lead by polls. I'm here to solve problems and I'm here to solve the tough problems."
Together, we've brought about fundamental change in Albany and made government work for the people once again. And with the support of the people, the Governor will continue to take on tough, but important battles to better serve and protect all New Yorkers.
Thank you for your continued support,
The Andrew Cuomo Committee
P.S. -- In case you missed it, the New York Times' Maureen Dowd wrote about the Governor's effectiveness in passing the NY Safe Act in a column last week: "it's bracing to see somebody, anybody, actually make government hum."
