NEW YORK

Cuomo did not remove the lobbying restrictions from his proposed budget. It is up to the legislature to protect the grassroots. Contact your state legislators and demand that Part R be removed from the budget. #HandsOffGrassroots

[Senator Liz Krueger @LizKrueger]

The goal of lobbying reform should be to empower the grassroots and level the playing field. Lowering the registration threshold to $500 will make it harder for regular New Yorkers to be heard by their elected officials. https://t.co/3nlRvLzfnz

@WillBredderman @NYGovCuomo We should encourage average citizens to be engaged, not saddle them with 6 JCOPE filings per year for ordering pizzas for postcard parties. Let's listen to @makeNYTrueBlue & @es_indivisible
Lisette Voytko's article explains it well:

.@NYGovCuomo wants groups that spend $500/year to register as lobbyists and submit compliance reports. This is an attempt to stifle groups like IW and non-profits that spend small amounts on flyers, stamps and postcards.

Did you buy snacks for your fellow phone-bankers this year? If you spent more than $500 on pretzels, pizza & Pepsi, @NYGovCuomo thinks you should register as a LOBBYIST. Why does he want to punish the people who got him so many legislative triumphs? https://t.co/nNlpruMMCS

“If we are unified, and if we are mobilized, and if we come together, we can take control of our government and we can make our agenda a reality,” he said in 2014.” And then what happened, @NYGovCuomo? U cd have ended the IDC overnight if u had wanted to. https://t.co/eUGmCUu6Wh

[Lead Blue NY @LeadBlueNY]

Cuomo's actions are despicable. Rebecca Katz, adviser to Cynthia Nixon has it right:
"This shows Cuomo will do absolutely anything to win except become a progressive." https://t.co/PR3uMUld5q

[No IDC NY @NoIDCNY]

Cuomo actively trying to defund progressive groups who are endorsing Nixon instead of him. Will New Yorkers allow this kind of destructive threats/bullying? https://t.co/XB16dEeZLT

[Nomiki - @nomiki.bsky.social @NomikiKonst]

Things are insane in New York right now. The same day “Democrat” @NYGovCuomo claims he’s loved by labor, he goes to fundraise for the IDC - which uses a GOP started third party (Indpendence Party) to stay afloat - and kept Dems from controlling the state for almost 8 years. https://t.co/Wu1XLippXM

[Lead Blue NY @LeadBlueNY]

Hard to believe the IDC has truly disbanded when: 1) they are still raising money as the IDC, 2) they disbanded once before. #NOIDCNY https://t.co/XJB5yzKmXh

[Mia Pearlman @mia_pearlman]

The IDC is having a fundraiser tonight FOR THE IDC. Guess all those slum lords and DeVos cronies want to make sure their money only goes to FAKE DEMS. So much for "Democratic reunification!!" PROTEST TONIGHT!!! https://t.co/zCjRB8SJlY

#Tbt What's old is new again. Take a look at what the @NYDailyNews wrote four years ago. #WeWillNotBeFooledAgain

[Lead Blue NY @LeadBlueNY]

Think the IDC is over? Think again – they're holding a fundraiser tonight! Thanks to @BlueNYNow, we've left a message for them. 🌊🌊🌊
ON SEPT. 13th, WE WILL REMEMBER. #TOOlittleTOOlate #VoteThemOut #noIDCNY @BrianLehrer @AQE_NY @ZephyrTeachout @NYWFP

They are a group of fake Dems in the NY State Senate that threw their support to Republicans giving them control of the Senate. They recently returned to the Dems. But we expect they will abandon them again.
