To my fellow NYC Residents

As I've asked around I notice WAY to many of you guys are not up on the upcoming election. We are not supposed to only vote for President people!! We need to be very in tune to what is going on in our very own backyard. This years election is especially important because we have offices that are open that will directly effect the next few years of our lives (Mayor of NY, Public Advocate, Controller, District Attorney). Many of our ancestors fought and died so we could have this opportunity. Remeber the greatest gift you can give someone in life is access.. don't take it for granted...

PLEASE take the time to read up on these candidates and make it your business to be at the polls not only on in November but also for the Primaries in September!!

Don't complain about whats wrong in NYC DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT!! GET OUT AND ROCK THE VOTE!!!!!

**Feel free to pass this information on to others that may not be up on the upcoming election**
