Dear Friends,

I'm running for Governor of New York.

It's time for New Ideas and New Leadership in Albany.

Can you help get my campaign for a better New York moving by donating $25, $50, $100, or whatever you can afford right now?

The present government in Albany is broken. It's a national embarrassment. It can't be repaired by tweaking it here and there. It's dysfunctional and we need to start all over from the beginning -- not to help the politicians in Albany but to help our children and our grandchildren so they can dream of an Empire State and have a Government they respect and have confidence in.

It's like repairing a leaking roof. You patch it twenty times but it still leaks. What you have to do is bite the bullet and get rid of the roof.

You and I together know it can be fixed, but it means starting from the beginning. I've proposed rewriting the Constitution because I want to build a different and better form of government.

One solution is unicameral government. That means one legislative body, not two. We'll eliminate gridlock and bring about a new government that's more transparent, more accountable and less divided. And we'll have the ability to build better schools, hospitals, and roads. We'll be able to meet the problems of the people.

You and I will be given a better government. It'll be a government that listens to the people, not the politicians. With your help, that is exactly what I intend to do.

Let's do it together.
