Cause

Over the past 20 years the residents of New York have been treated to the most incompetent representation special interest money can buy.

The failures of the legislature and governor include:

• Failure to enact an on time budget in over 20 years
• Oversight of an economy which consistently lags behind national economic trends
• The loss of tens of thousands of jobs, businesses and residents
• The creation of the most expensive social welfare programs in the country
• The highest or near highest auto insurance rates
• The raiding of dedicated funds such as workers compensation for the purpose of funding unnecessary wasteful politically motivated projects.
• The enactment of intrusive legislation under the guise of public safety for the express purpose of fleecing residents of New York
• The passage of legislation without every legislator having been given the opportunity to even read let alone comment on the legislation
• And most recently the addition of yet another penny to the sales tax in Erie county further damaging a near insolvent economy

In addition to these failures the legislators are unresponsive to their constituents unless motivated by money

Agencies of government are acting in violation of law without regulation or accountability

Elections are held every two years for the purpose of giving the people the opportunity to correct these failures by elected representatives, however because of gerrymandering and the oppressive use of the Board of Elections as a first line of defense, the major parties have created a system which denies the citizens the right to an actual choice.
