You do realize that since the passage of this law most NYS counties, municipalities and police agencies have condemned it?
You do realize that these folks live in Senate districts? You do realize that Senators must run for reelection?

You do realize that since it was passed public sentiment has become known and it ain't popular with the upstate folks?

You do realize that this is an election year and many reps and mr. cuomo are up for re-election?

You do realize that all of those USHoR votes against the affordable healthcare act did not get it repealed, but it made for some real awkward town meetings for US Congressmen who supported it? You do realize that the HoR held these votes even though they knew it wouldn't make it to the US Senate or never be signed by the POTUS right?

I do realize that if the NYS Senate passes this measure shelly silver will never let it on the floor for a vote in the NYS Assembly and that cuomo will never sign it, but it will keep it in the news and it will make these cowards who passed it in the dead of night have to again vote on it and support that vote again.

If you don't want to sign it then don't, but please don't sabotage any effort to keep it in the media or from the baby steps needed in our ultimate goal of repeal.
