Fellow Reformer –
This much is clear: New York State no longer works for us. Independent thinkers have been
replaced by entrenched, self-serving partisans, legislative stalemates, special interests, and
an inefficient and growing bureaucracy.
New Yorkers agree that a Constitutional Convention is our best hope to transform state
government and usher in a new era of accountability — a government that works for us,
not against us.
After attending your local town hall meetings on The People’s Convention to Reform New
York, I would like to hear what YOU think are the most pressing issues facing New York
State. What do you think is causing the current state of dysfunction and gridlock in our
government? What factors do you feel contribute to the deterioration of New York’s fragile
economy? What reform measures, if enacted, would restore your faith and trust in those
elected to public office?
Please fill out and return the attached form to provide the Assembly Minority Conference
with helpful feedback that will strengthen our movement to put government back on the side
of the people of New York.
Brian M. Kolb, Assembly Minority Leader
Help make the People’s Convention to Reform New York a reality.
Here’s what you can do to help take back your state government:
WRITE YOUR ELECTED OFFICIALS: Sending letters, faxes and
e-mails to elected officials – at all levels of government – builds awareness and
non-partisan support for a People’s Convention. When writing local officials, ask
them to enact a resolution in support of the People’s Convention to Reform New
York Act.
SEND A LETTER TO THE EDITOR: Letters to the editor are a great way
to share your views and make the case for a People’s Convention. The best part is this a
free service and most daily and weekly newspapers welcome such letters.
CALL TALK RADIO: National, regional and local talk radio programs provide
a terrific forum to ensure your voice is heard loud and clear.
SIGN OUR ON-LINE PETITION: Go to www.reformny.org
and add your name to the growing list of New Yorkers wanting a more accountable and responsive
state government.
CONTACT YOUR NYS ASSEMBLY AND SENATE REPRESENTATIVES: Ask
them to support the People’s Convention to Reform New York Act (
A.9157/S.6156).
If you were selected as a delegate at the next Constitutional Convention, what are the three
most important issues you would address and what are the changes you would propose?
