We want Cuomo to either sign it
or let it become law without his signature. We do NOT want him to veto it. He has only a few more days (until the end of the month), to act.
December 20, 2016: After three years of effort, Knife Rights' Gravity Knife and Switchblade Law Reform Bill, S6483-A/A9042-A, has been transmitted to Governor Cuomo. If you live, work or travel in New York, or plan to, CALL the Governor TODAY and STOP these OUTRAGEOUS arrests and prosecutions! The Governor now has 10 days to sign or veto the bill (in other words, by end of the year), or allow it to become law without his signature.
The bill passed the Legislature by overwhelming margins, 61-1 in the Senate and 117-12 in the Assembly. This bill will prevent hundred's of bogus arrests every week in New York City. Martin LaFalce of the Legal Aid Society called these arrests and prosecutions "the most discriminatory criminal justice practice in New York State."
LET'S GET THIS DONE!

LET'S GET THIS DONE! Regardless of your personal views of Governor Cuomo or his politics on any other issue, if you live, work or travel in New York, or plan to, please CALL Governor Cuomo TODAY and simply deliver the message that you are "calling to respectfully request that Governor Cuomo please sign S6483-A/A9042-A," and then thank him. Please be POLITE and RESPECTFUL and REMAIN ON POINT.
This is not the time to berate the Governor about any other political issues - stay on message. IF YOU CAN'T DO THAT, PLEASE DO NOT CALL or EMAIL!
CALL Governor Cuomo TODAY at:
518-474-8390 and Press #3
(Depending on call volume, you may still
be asked to leave a message.)
Unfortunately, Governor Cuomo makes it painful to communicate
with him online. If you are a masochist, you can go to:
www.governor.ny.gov/contact and fill out the lengthy form
(for "Topic" select: "Criminal Justice"). WE RECOMMEND CALLING.
Again, please be POLITE and RESPECTFUL and REMAIN ON POINT; just deliver the message, "I am calling to respectfully request that the Governor please sign S6483-A/A9042-A," and then thank him. That's it, keep it short, simple and ON POINT and above all BE POLITE and RESPECTFUL.
