      We continue to need your assistance to make Divide NYS a Reality, NYS Senators & Assembly members and local officials are now talking about divide. If you see your elected officials please ask them to support the divide amendment. If you don’t see them at least email your elected officials; send a second email if they do not act on the first one.
       While NYS has no right of referendum for its people; there is the home rule clause, for municipalities, in the state constitution. NYS Senators and Assembly(wo)men are obliged to introduce a bill if a municipality in their district passes a home rule resolution; and then sends a copy of the resolution AND the Amendment (bill) to their NY State legislators!

We Have the Power! When we use it! Please send a few emails to your local elected officials !
Historically, local tax hikes taxes are approved at least most of the time in New York State. They’re generally linked to an unfunded state mandate not a specific local need.
Local officials often assert hikes are about adding services like to pay for public safety or for fixing potholes and longer library hours.  Of course, everyone wants those.  But do they know what the money is really going for?
Additionally, in spite of Tax Cap, there has often been increase in property taxes above the cap. Even with a rate of inflation of about 2% for last few years.

What does this have to do with Autonomous Regions?  Everything!                                                          
We are where we are because of out of control legislators who have taken our liberty and freedom from us bit by bit and then given themselves a 63% percent pay raise!  We have no say in how our tax dollars are spent, how we are to be taxed and on what level.  They have eroded away our gun rights.  They are openly taking away free speech.  They are infringing on freedom of worship.
Anyone who is a free thinker is a racist.  Anyone who disagrees with the progressive flow is a racist.  If you want equality for all you are a racist.  We toe the line or we are demonized.
This is not what our New York State Constitution guarantees us, nor is it what the founders envisioned our states to look like.  Can we rescue New York State from the hands of tyranny?  Not likely.  Can we separate and form our own new state? not likely. But we CAN form Autonomous Regions. 
We can’t do it without your help.  It’s great to “hope” that this will happen.  It will only happen when we all roll up our shirts sleeves and work to educate and inform others, and give or our time, talent, treasure and sacred honor on behalf of liberty and freedom for ourselves and our posterity.
The time has come for Autonomous Regions. You have the chance to make a difference. We need you to send a few emails to your local elected officials !
