    I made a $50 donation on your site today which somehow got posted as $1000 according to the confirmation e-mail that I received. Perhaps there is a glitch in your system somewhere. Please do not process this transaction. If it posts, my credit card company will file a fraud claim. If you are able to, please process it as a $50 contribution.

    Howie….best of fortune in the upcoming. I am proud to be among the folks who don’t want to sign in to the republicrat uniparty, and equally encouraged to see folks of your caliber leading and offered as very viable alternatives.

    The message is shut down all use of natural gas in your state, since the process is so disturbing to you. We have a well and the water and environment is just fine. So if you feel that strongly then the whole state of NY should stop using any form of natural gas. Why should you help out PA when you are so strongly opposed. Wind power is very inefficient good luck with that. Nuclear is the only real current answer for you. You should also stop use of all gasoline and diesl products too based upon your comments.

    Dear Candidate Hawkins:


    I am a custodial parent and I am writing to you in order to discover your position on the child support system in our district and in the United States.

    My position on this issue is that the system is broken and in many cases, unconstitutional. In many instances, parents face harsh penalties which can include jail sentences in the event of infractions of the child support laws.

    I am asking that you respond to my inquiry as to your position on this issue and if you would support my Reform Child Support NOW! Campaign.

    The Reform Child Support NOW! Movement members are seeking your support as we consider your position on this important issue in deciding whether or not we can cast a vote in your favor as you seek this important political office.


    Sincerely,

    N.K. Clark

    Hi,


    While I’m not aligned with any significantly influential political party, I share many of the concerns reflected in your platform (though our ideal approaches in addressing them still differ considerably). One such topic is voting reform, for which you support Instant Runoff Voting. There are real problems with that system, so I’m writing to ask if your team has critically compared it to the following systems, any of which would be a better choice in my opinion:


    - Range Voting / Score Voting

    - Approval Voting

    - Delegable Yes/No Voting


    The simplest of these by far is Approval Voting, but the most exciting option as I see it is Delegable Yes/No Voting (described at http://rangevoting.org/DynDefn.html ).


    Thanks,

    Andy

    I would like approval to send this “Letter to the editor” to local papers, and if you like it, send it to any papers/editors of your choice.


    Letter to the editor:


    I’m just reading about the Green New Deal for New York proposed by Howie Hawkins, candidate for Governor of NY on the Green Party line. He’s proposing fully funded, desegregated schools, tuition free from pre-K through College. I can only think he wants to get himself assassinated because that’s what Qaddaffi did in Libya and look what happened to him. This same Howie, a second shift UPS worker near Syracuse proposes a state funded WPA jobs program to employ unused labor to meet community needs in public works and services. Howie must have been struck up side the skull with a manhole cover. Doesn’t he realize that we need those monies to keep our bankers in high cotton. This guy doesn’t share the confidence that our leaders have for those “too big to fail” banks and bankers and even thinks that aiding the labor end of the economy would be a good thing. Obviously he doesn’t see the big picture that statistically shows that if the politicians help the bankers it fattens their income streams. It seems to be a little bit of a strain on the lower income brackets, but these bankers obviously need the additional revenues for hedging, derivatives, and big bonus plans. It isn’t bad enough he’s after the schools, labor and banks, now he wants to promote 100% Clean Energy. He must be completely off his rocker bucking the status quo of Big Energy and it’s multitudinous radiation leaks, CO2 contamination, ash landfills and slurries, fracking, and other abuses associated with these industries. This simple minded blue collar guy thinks the citizens want clean air and water and jobs and common sense says you can’t have things like that and big bank giveaways and bonuses at the same time. Somebody better slap this same Howie Hawkins up the other side of his head before we have starving bankers and energy magnates plugging up the lines at the soup kitchens. I don’t know about y’all, but I’m gonna give some serious thought to that status quo business.

    It’s important when talking about the new Tappan Zee Bridge under construction that it was Rob Astorino who made a statewide name for himself 4-5 years ago when he complained about the lack of rail and bus lanes in the new construction plans for this bridge. He was told at that time there was no money for ‘frills’. Now we know there was no money even for the bridge!

    The New York State Greens are running for Governor and Lt.Governor this years as eco-socialists. There is a long-running scandal involving a new multi-billion dollar bridge for suburban commuters going into New York City. The scandal involves both the lack of any accomodation for public transport on this bridge, and this week it has become clear that the funding for construction itself is well short of what is required. We have looked at the Greens’ platform and website generally and can find no direct comment, only this:


    “- No New Fossil Fuel Infrastructure.

    No new gas pipelines.

    No Liquified Natural Gas (LNG) export facilities.

    No railway tank cars, tank trucks, or liquid cargo barges carrying Bakken fracked shale oil or Alberta tar sands bitumen through New York State.

    No storage of natural gas or liquified propane or butane in the Senaca Lake salt caverns.”


    The replacement bridge for what is known as the Tappan Zee Bridge is already under construction and clearly this is ‘Fossil Fuel Infrastructure’. What say the Greens?
