Rockland County Legislature: Support NY SAFE Act
We, the undersigned people of Rockland County NY, are deeply disappointed and troubled by the Rockland County Legislature's stance opposing the New York SAFE Act. We are concerned about the escalating epidemic of gun violence in our country and support good faith measures, like the New York SAFE Act and President Obama's initiatives, to curb it.
Why is this important?
Just like many of us, I have been deeply affected by the tragedy in Newtown, CT. After Governor Cuomo passed the NY SAFE Act, I was incredibly proud to be a resident of NY state. However, recently, I was troubled to learn that many of our Rockland County Legislators have voted in favor of a memorializing resolution to repeal the NY SAFE Act. Please join me in letting them know that we support the NY SAFE Act. In a March 11, 2013 the NY SAFE Act was supported by 61% of New Yorkers.
