Greetings,
Neither rain nor snow nor sleet will keep us from our momentous Rally tomorrow in Albany to request Governor Cuomo to expand the scope of the Marcellus Shale draft SGEIS.
Since inclement weather is predicted, we are moving our Rally indoors. Please gather at 12:00 Noon in the "Well" of the Legislative Office Building. See map below. Just walk into the LOB from the Concourse of the Empire State Plaza. The Well is just past the elevators. You can't miss it.
This large cavernous space will showcase our event to Legislators, staff and lobbyists. It is ideal for our purposes. Thank you, Assemblywoman Lifton, for all your assistance on our behalf.
In addition to the highly notable individuals and groups I mentioned yesterday, we will be joined by Shaleshock, Committee to Protect the Finger Lakes, Cortland Drilling Awareness Coalition, Tompkins County Legislator Pam Mackesey and Catherine Hughes of New York City Community Board One, which passed a major resolution last evening in support of expanding the scope of the draft SGEIS. See: http://www.toxicstargeting.com/MarcellusShale/documents/cb1-resolution-w...
We are still beating the bushes for turn-out. Reach out far and wide. More than 50 people are coming from just Ithaca and Binghamton!!! For travel info contact: Elaine Perkus
Bring everyone you can find as well as your biggest signs and banners. After the Rally, we will march to the Governor's office on the Second Floor of the Capitol to let him know we support his policy that New York's "watersheds are sacrosanct."
See you in Albany tomorrow. Stay tuned for a big surprise announcement. Please drive carefully.
Best,
Walter
