Governor Spitzer has made full public funding with Clean Money Clean
Elections the cornerstone of his reform New York program. But he is
getting resistance from Senate Majority Leader Joe Bruno, who is
against public funding of campaigns, and from Assembly Speaker Sheldon
Silver, who favors partial public funding. With partial funding using
our tax dollars, candidates would still have to raise the bulk of
their money from private wealthy donors, who would continue to have
the upper hand in legislative matters.

When a friend of ours called Governor Spitzer's office to learn when
he would introduce his Clean Elections bill, she was told that before
he does, he is counting the calls to his office for it from each of
the state's zip codes.

It's a quick call to 518 474-8390. All callers have to say is "I'm for
full public funding with Clean Money Clean Elections" and give their
zip code.

Please make this very important call.  Ask everyone you know to call
too. And pass this info on to all your New Yorker lists.

With strong public support, Governor Spitzer will prevail. But he must
have that support to stand up to legislators  who  would rather keep
the status quo with partial public funding, as Speaker Silver wants,
or no public funding, as Senator Bruno wants.

Alan Goldston, Chair
