Who here knows people who didn't bother to vote in November, 2016?

46. We're voting here in NY in November

for or against a referendum that is on the ballot for a state constitutional convention, a measure that is automatically put before the voters every 20 years. If we do have a convention, any proposed amendments will be put before the voters in future elections.

Unions are strongly encouraging a "no" vote because they are afraid that union rights will be endangered by proposed amendments if a state constitutional convention is held. In addition, public education advocacy groups are worried about amendments that will cut funding of schools.

So this particular off-year election is actually extremely important to the welfare of middle class voters in my state. Get out the word, and GOTV!
