Jobless Benefits
The following letter was sent to the local press and the NY Times.
Dear Editor
Losing your job is a very demoralizing experience. You can blame yourself, feeling like you did something wrong, when you had nothing to do with the economic circumstances surrounding the loss. The Republicans add insult to injury by insinuating that the jobless are slackers, responsible for their own circumstances. The Republicans continue their assault by denying the extension of unemployment benefits. We reject this characterization of American workers who have lost their jobs during this devastating recession. We support the continuation of unemployment benefits for our hard hit friends and neighbors who are going through hard times.
The Saugerties Democratic Executive Committee:
Mike Harkavy, Chair
Marcus Arthur, Vice Chair
Donn Avallone, Vice Chair
Beth Murphy, Secretary
Harriet Tomasko, Treasurer.

Speak Out Against Fracking
Saugerties Democratic Committee News
The extraction of natural gas through the process of hydraulic fracturing ("fracking") is a major environmental issue now facing the Hudson Valley. It is essential that we urge the New York State Senate to pass a moratorium halting the advancement of this process in New York due to mishaps in other regions of the country, and the lack of information on the safety of the process.
Check out http://gaslandthemovie.com/.
Currently, incumbent NYS Senator John Bonacic opposes this moratorium while Democratic candidate David Sager favors one. Congressman Maurice Hinchey is sponsoring legislation on the federal level to restore regulatory oversight over fracking by the Environmental Protection Agency(EPA). This oversight responsibility was removed from the Clean Water Act by George W. Bush's 2005 energy policy spearheaded by VP Dick Cheney and Halliburton.
Please note the attached time sensitive alert(all it requires is one phone call).
Thanks,
Mike

Sager becomes ‘official’ Democratic candidate for Senate
David Sager, Cindy Lockrow-Schimmerling and Steve Wilkinson relax after Wilson-Pakula signed
It’s official.
Last week, petitions were filed containing almost 4,000 signatures designating David Sager as the Democratic candidate to represent the 42nd District in the New York State Senate.
At the same time, the Democratic County Chairs — Cindy Lockrow-Schimmerling of Delaware, Steve Wilkinson of Sullivan, Julian Schreibman of Ulster and Jonathan Jacobson of Orange — gathered together to sign the paperwork (known as a ‘Wilson-Pakula’) allowing David to run as a Democrat.

All of that reduces to this: David Sager is now officially the candidate and the Sager-Bonacic race is on!
“I am so proud and excited to wholeheartedly endorse David Sager as our candidate,” said Lockrow, who chairs the Delaware County Democratic Committee. “The Democratic leadership today proudly signed our names to stand up against intimidation, to stand up for the democratic process, to stand up for transparent and effective leadership in this vast, diverse district.”
Now that the paperwork is taken care of, David will move into the next phase of his campaign. He will continue to move around the district, meeting with voters and letting them get to know him. So, be sure to check the calendar every week and, if you get the chance, come out and say hello!
