Upstate Blue www.upstateblue.com colin_neal@hotmail.com <img src="http://www.geocities.com/colinbneal/progressiveMajority.jpg" /> <a href="http://www.upstateblue.com">Upstate Blue</a> supports socially progressive, fiscally responsible Spitzer-style reform candidates for Congress, the State Senate, and the State Assembly in Upstate New York. Let's work to take Upstate back from the right-wing, pro-corporate, anti-reform Bush Republicans which currently dominate our region. public true 0.00 0 Kirsten Gillibrand false NY-20 gillibrand 4800.00 39610.94 581 http://www.kirstengillibrand.com/ https://secure.actblue.com/contribute/entity/12818 0.00 0 Despite representing a traditionally conservative area in Congress, Kirsten Gillibrand has compiled a solid progressive voting record, supporting the elimination of subsidies for big oil companies, tax cuts for middle class families, and increased environmental protections. Because New York's 20th District is the most heavily Republican district by registration in New York, as well as throughout the entire Northeast, your help will certainly be needed to keep this seat "blue" in 2008. Mike Arcuri false NY-24 arcuri 4800.00 17872.79 407 http://www.ArcuriForCongress.com https://secure.actblue.com/contribute/entity/12821 0.00 0 Freshman Congressman Mike Arcuri is a perfect fit for this Central New York swing district. Serving as a socially progressive, fiscally responsible Democrat, Arcuri favors a reduction in the deficit and fair trade, while also being a strong advocate for reproductive choice, stem cell research, and environmental protections. Brian Keeler false NY-SD-41 keeler 0.00 0.00 0 http://www.keeler2006.com/ https://secure.actblue.com/contribute/entity/15251 0.00 0 Blogger Brian Keeler ("nyBri"), one of the founders of the <a href="http://www.thealbanyproject.com">The Albany Project</a>, now seeks to go to Albany to better enable Spitzer to enact his agenda of reform. Because District 41, once a Republican stronghold, was carried by John Kerry in the 2004 presidential election and the GOP registration edge has now almost entirely eroded, Keeler has a realistic chance of an upset here in 2008. Tim Merrick false NY-SD-45 tim merrick 9500.00 0.00 0 http://www.votemerrick.com/ https://secure.actblue.com/contribute/entity/15253 0.00 0 Tim Merrick is a progressive Democrat in the mold of Eliot Spitzer, who seeks to revitalize the economy in New Yorkâ€™s North Country through expanding property tax reform, as well as bringing increased economic development funds to the region. Currently, District 45 is represented by Betty Little, an ultra-conservative Bush Republican whoâ€™s voting record has been very counterproductive to the reform desperately needed in Albany. Little has opposed non-partisan gerrymandering, the Empire State Wage Act, expanding New Yorkâ€™s bottle bill, and allowing small businesses to be able to purchase prescriptions in bulk. Please help Tim Merrick to bring much needed change to Albany, as well the North Country. duplicate false NY-SD-49 valesky 9500.00 0.00 0 http:// https://secure.actblue.com/contribute/entity/15255 0.00 0 Elected to a moderate, but Republican-leaning district covering portions of Oneida, Madison, Onondaga, and Cayuga Counties, Senator Valesky has worked to reduce property taxes, supported ethics and lobbying reform, while also has pushed for greater broadband internet access in New York's rural areas. Kelly Keck false NY-HD-107 keck 3800.00 0.00 0 http://www.keckforassembly.com/xoops/ https://secure.actblue.com/contribute/entity/15197 0.00 0 Seeking election to a rural district covering portions of Ulster, Delaware, Chenango, and Broome Counties, Education Specialist Kelly Keck has been a strong advocate for taking special interest money out of politics (Clean Elections reform), thus allowing New York's elected officials to be more responsive to the needs of the people, not the corporations and outside groups. Robert Reilly false NY-HD-109 reilly 3800.00 0.00 0 http:// https://secure.actblue.com/contribute/entity/15198 0.00 0 Representing Northern Albany and Southern Saratoga Counties, Assemblyman Robert Reilly is one of the only state legislators in the nation to donate their entire salary to charity, thus helping to bring back increased funding to his district for educational, cultural, and environmental causes. Your help will be needed to keep Reilly in the Assembly in 2008, as District 109 has historically leaned Republican and continues to maintain a GOP enrollment advantage. Darrel Aubertine false NY-HD-118 aubertine 3800.00 0.00 0 http:// https://secure.actblue.com/contribute/entity/15202 0.00 0 The first Democrat elected to the Assembly from upper St. Lawrence and Jefferson Counties in over three decades, Assemblyman Darrel Aubertine has compiled a record of reform, supporting the Empire State Wage Act, Health Insurance Reform, as well as expanding New York's bottle bill. Please contribute to help keep Aubertine in the Assembly.
