Child Victims Act Assembly Vote Scheduled for Wednesday June 17th

MEMO TO:     Friends and Supporters of Child Victims’ Act of New York

 

FROM:           Assemblywoman Margaret M. Markey

 

SUBJECT:      Albany Update, Monday, June 15, 2009

 

 

The  Assembly continued in session well into the evening today and even though the hour is late, I wanted to notify you that we now expect the debate and vote on the Child Victims’ Act to take place on Wednesday, June 17th rather than Tuesday.

 

The new date means that it is important to continue intensive lobbying of Assemblymembers over the next few days to ensure that those who have already committed to the bill maintain their support. It is also vital that those who have not yet committed continue to be contacted by supporters and advocates to convince them to vote “yes” for the legislation.

 

Even though the leadership in the State Senate continues to be unresolved, it is also important that supporters continue to lobby individual senators over the next few days.

 

I will keep you posted on developments tomorrow as the Senate situation for the Child Victims’ Act  is resolved and as we move to an Assembly vote on Wednesday.


Margaret M. Markey

The message from our friends in the Assembly is to keep the phone calls coming.  We are making real progress in preparation for the Wednesday June 17, 2009, Assembly vote on the Child Victims Act of New York, (the "Markey/Duane Bill" Assembly Bill Number A2596) a bill sponsored by Assemblywoman Margaret M. Markey. 

Please take the time to call daily to express your support support of the Child Victims Act of New York and ask for an update on the status of the bill.

Make sure to say that you fully support the Child Victims Act of New York (the “Markey/Duane bill”) and that you will be voting for legislators who vote in favor of the bill.

The legislators' offices log every telephone call they receive. Our calls will allow them to show how strongly the public is supporting the bill and reassure any legislator who has been intimidated by the Catholic Church and others. 

Remember, five minutes of your time may save a child’s life.
