What can you do today to join with us in our efforts to stop the power lines.
You Can Help! This fight is not over - in fact, it has just begun!
You can write to your politicians to let them know how you feel about NYRI's proposed power lines. Below are some addresses and phone numbers for you to use. Take a little time every night to compose a handwritten letter to these politicians. Form letters are not as effective and are usually just disregarded by office staff. Faxes and handwritten letters, however, attract the attention of staff who are inundated with mail each day. If you would like a sample letter, we have furnished one. Feel free to change and add information. Your additional efforts can make a difference in successfully defeating this for-profit proposal, which would only damage our environment and our way of life.
You have the power. Your voice counts - please make it heard!
