Sander resigned in May. <br /> <br />The MTA under acting CEO Helena Williams tried unsuccessfully to steer the panel away from the framework supported by Sander and Roberts, concluding it spelled a bad financial deal for the authority, even if it included removing conductors from some subway lines. <br /> <br />A union spokesman said the MTA's legal review is "another attempt by the MTA to mask its incompetence."Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16895369.post-10457652841720075592009-08-12T14:51:11.482-04:002009-08-12T14:51:11.482-04:00Sean--

How about your friends, family, and neighbors? <BR/>More Americans are expected to vote this year than ever before in history, so don’t be left out! Be sure to ask everyone you know the following questions:<BR/> Are you registered to vote? If you moved recently, have you updated your voter registration?<BR/> Did you apply for an Absentee Ballot? Do you know your state may not require any reason? <BR/> Can you find your local Polling Place? Do you know it may have changed from last time?<BR/>The answers to these questions -- and all your voting needs -- can be found at www.StateDemocracy.org -- the FREE 1-Stop citizen empowerment portal that Delivers Democracy to your Desktop! StateDemocracy is among the Internet’s first (since 2001) and most encompassing civic empowerment tools. <BR/>In order to boost voter participation this year, StateDemocracy.org is offering FREE widgets for all 50 states. You can simply download and embed these widgets into your own website so your visitors can register to vote, get an absentee ballot or find their local polling place. <BR/>Lobby Congress Via StateDemocracy<BR/>StateDemocracy.org also equips you to maintain an active dialog with your state and federal lawmakers once they are elected. And RIGHT NOW is an especially opportune time to contact your U.S. Senators and House Member, as Congress takes up major legislation on such issues as offshore oil drilling, another economic stimulus package and all federal appropriations bills over the next few weeks.<BR/>As you lobby your elected officials, remember that lawmakers view your constituent input as reflective of scores of other citizens who felt similarly, but didn’t have (or take) the time to share their opinions.<BR/>LobbyDelegates.com Further Empowered Grassroots Voices<BR/>Over the past 5 months, you may have visited www.LobbyDelegates.com, along with 26,000 other visitors. This latest public interest portal by the StateDemocracy Foundation remained the only online tool enabling rank-and-file Democrats to lobby all 800+ Super Delegates on which candidate to back for the party’s Presidential nomination. <BR/>StateDemocracy Foundation Website Users Unite!<BR/>Many of you have used our StateDemocracy.org and LobbyDelegates.com tools in recent times, and have hopefully found your experience uplifting and empowering. I encourage all of you to help spread the news about StateDemocracy.org to enable more of our fellow citizens to Connect! Engage! And Empower!<BR/>Sincerely,<BR/>Ken Laureys, Executive Director<BR/>StateDemocracy Foundation<BR/>Ken.Laureys@StateDemocracy.org<BR/><BR/>P.S.

It means Clinton really did not win any states until now. The only reason she is leading the delegate count is a phony super delegate coup against Obama from mainstream lobby funded democrats. <BR/><BR/>I send this open letter to progressive democrats to wake up. Do not let the big corporations steel this chance to change Washington politics. Wake up and organize for Obama! It might be our last chance. Mainstream politics getting stronger and stronger and progressive America Is getting weaker and weaker.<BR/><BR/>If this continues election after election, one day they will go for a kill!harryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05461544366964541593noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16895369.post-49982414068803320692007-11-09T06:13:00.000-05:002007-11-09T06:13:00.000-05:00This comment has been hidden from the blog.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16895369.post-88383248404150517612007-11-03T20:50:00.000-04:002007-11-03T20:50:00.000-04:00I agree with your analysis.

I don't want class warfare, but the gulf between the haves and the have-nots is increasing exponentially and something must be done. Unfortunately, we live in a world where ypu must become a whore just to be elected. Money is everything and the only thing. That's a shame and not what the founding fathers had in mind, I suspect.

Well Mr. Anonymous, I personally do not have any personal pension, like most taxi drivers, I'm an independent contractor and the common worker doesn't have the city paying for their pension, actually the average worker doesn't have a defined benefit pension so I don't need to compare pension plans.<BR/><BR/>Its great the Taxi Workers' Alliance (TWA) took my advice and abandoned the tact to protest the in cab GPS/credit card machines but the TWA's new claim that tax payers should be paying private employees' pension is ludicrous. I saw the effect of the September taxi strike and to say there was more than 20% of the taxi drivers participated denigrates the integrity of the campaign to unionize the drivers, and makes anyone stating such look a like a fool.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16895369.post-90413150114287443412007-10-06T18:22:00.000-04:002007-10-06T18:22:00.000-04:00How about you, Mr. Finnerty, are you supposed to w...How about you, Mr. Finnerty, are you supposed to work?
