Dear (ASSEMBLY MEMBER OR SENATOR),

Many of our rights are at risk. You have been elected to protect these for us. For many years now New York State residents have been paying a tax that we have no say in because it is controlled by NYSERDA. Assemblyman Paul Tonko is supporting us by trying to get these funds into legislative control so tax payers are properly represented. We strongly advise you to vote to over ride the Governor's veto and take control of these funds. They are grossly being used to destroy our precious environment across rural New York.

Stop violating landowners with deceptive wind farm agreements which you have received copies of. Stop letting them violate the peace and quiet treasured by neighbors. Our quality of life has no price. The absurd inefficiency of wind turbines is not worth being driven out of our homes.

We would be pleased to answer any doubts you may have.

Most sincere regards,

YOUR NAME

Dear (Assembly MEMBER OR SENATOR),

I am writing as a concerned resident, environmentalist, and registered voter in Franklin County, NY. I am STRONGLY URGING you to support Assemblyman Paul D. Tonko in his efforts as Chair of the Committee on Energy, to take RPS money into the hands of legislators. We, the people are entitled to representation associated with any taxation. It is our Constitutional right and it is the duty of our elected officials to protect these Constitutional rights. We cannot count on the Governor to do so; therefore we are placing it in the hands of our trusted legislators. This is an imperative in an effort to preserve democracy.

Thank you for your careful consideration in this extremely important issue.

Best regards,

YOUR NAME
