#VoteYesAug1: $14/yr if it passes and we have PROGRESS on Long Island. $18/yr and 77 acres of eyesore and over 2k people out of jobs if not.
Starting at 6 a.m. on Monday, August 1st, the residents of Nassau County will have the chance to keep the Islanders on Long Island and help to build a state of the art facility for all types of public events. The residents will have the chance to create more jobs, more revenue and a revitalize their identity. They will get a chance to celebrate being a Long Islander.
Here in Putnam County, N.Y., I wont sleep well tonight and I will be distracted at work all day tomorrow just like thousands of other fans who have waited so long for this moment to arrive. My hopes are the people were able to see the facts and get past the spin doctoring of the last few months. Facts and figures have been misquoted and propaganda has been rampant.
One truth remains without question.
A message will be sent tomorrow. I call upon the legions of Islander fans throughout Nassau County to carry the torch for all of us who have done all we non-residents can without voting. Step up and deliver with a loud voice that the Islanders should stay right where they are. Send the message that Nassau County deserves a premiere venue to see sporting events, shows and attractions. Make a stand for your community and help revive the economy in Nassau County.
Thanks for including my tweet in your post. Great job trying to rally the troops. Good piece.
