Great, so you've already called Governor Cuomo to ask him to veto Port Ambrose* and now you want to know what else you can do: One of the best uses of your time would be to ask your local town board, and your state rep to take a stand. There are several ways they can help influence Governor Cuomo to veto this project. They can:
• Write a letter to the Governor
• Draft a resolution against Port Ambrose
• Submit comments to the Coast Guard
Here's a sample letter for you to write to your rep, asking them to help.
Please view samples letters below. Our sincere thanks to the City Council of Long Beach, Assemblyman Todd Kaminsky, and NYC Councilman Donovan Richards for showing real leadership.
