[GreenYes] A Request For An E-mail Political Action, pls Fwrd to like minded activists

[Curtis <curtis.seyfried@verizon.net>]

Hello,
          I am a community
representative for a non-profit organization in the South Bronx, NYC, NY.
- UBEC - United Bronx Environmental Coalition.  We represent and
organize low income communities of color in their struggle to gain power
to obtain environmental justice.  We have been instrumental in
beginning a process to modify NYC's solid waste management plan through a
coalition - OWN, Organization of Waterfron Neighborhoods, and, NYCEJA,
NYC Environmental Justice Alliance, and NYLPI, NY Lawyers for the Public
Interest.
          Currently our
communities, and other low income communities of color in Brooklyn and
the So. Bronx are being burdened with 10 gas turbine electric power
generating plants that NY Power Authority and NYS Department of
Environmental Conservation are forcing down our throats.  They are
not needed, except to supply power to the rich in Manhattan, and will
only exacerbate our communities already high - highest in the U.S. -
childhood asthma rates.
         We just lost a lawsuit
filed in NYS court to stop these plants, because the permitting process
did not properly involve the communities involved. 
          What I am asking
each of you who receive this e-mail to do is to 1st, e-mail ALL the
politicians in NYS listed below.  Tell them that as long as they act
in environmentally an racist manner toward low income communities of
color in NYS, you will NOT Vacation in NYS, and will boycott NYS
products, businesses and services.  You will NOT contribute your
hard earned $$$$$$$$$$, to oppress and  kill low income people in
NYS.
          I have
participated in similar e-mail actions in the past on behalf of oppressed
communities elsewhere in American and abroad.  It can work.  We
desperately need your help, and will do the same for you if asked. 
We need to see each politician listed below deluged with 100,000's of
e-mails. 
             
Please write to the following NYS politicians.  
         In your e-mail or letter
please SPECIFICALLY state that "Until the environmentally unjust
assaults on NY City low income, communities of color STOPS, you will
NEVER visit NYS , NOR spend any vacation $$$$$$ on trips to NYS. 
You will also where possible Boycot NYS products, businesses and
services."
