style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>May 5<SUP>th</SUP> in Albany! The state
League, in coordination with NYPIRG, Common Cause and Citizens Union, has
received funding to organize an educational forum in Albany on government reform
issues. The gubernatorial candidates and current legislative leaders will be
invited to respond to questions on their support for reform efforts in the area
of campaign finance, redistricting, election law (absentee ballot process,
voting machines) and ethics. <SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>The
event will include free busing from around the state to Albany to encourage
people to attend. The goal is to obtain at least 150 organizations to support
the event – and approximately 300 people to attend. We will be sending you more
information soon to help rally our members – but spread the word and get people
excited. We need to show the politicians that people want a change in
Albany!</FONT></P>
