One Quick Call Will Help Save The Shelter, Freddy's, and Prospect Heights
Fightin' Freddys
Fightin' Freddys are mustering a phone-a-thon effort to put Bruce Ratner behind bars.
Andrew Cuomo CALL-A-THON
Give Cuomo the Message, Indict Bruce Ratner for Yonkers Bribe Today
And Keep the Pacific Dean Shelter Open Till Spring!
...A hearing tomorrow will determine whether Eminent Domain will win by giving the neighborhood, the homeless shelter, dan goldstein's place, and freddy's bar to Ratner -- OR if we will win by having the judge say "NO."
Bruce Ratner, or his company, Forest City Ratner, of which he is CEO, have given federal authorities evidence that allegedly show FCR bribed a Yonkers City Council member $60,000, to get her to change her vote on Ratner's $600 Million Ridge Hill Project. The Council Member is being indicted. Ratner isn't.
Bribing a public official is a State Crime, prosecutable by the office of the Attorney General. And Attorney General Cuomo has not only not indicted Ratner, he's taken a $5000 campaign contribution from him.
...Can you take 2 minutes and make a call for the cause?

Found in Brooklyn, Fightin' Freddy's CALL-A-THON to Indict Bruce Ratner * Today Only until 5pm
I received an urgent press release from the Fightin' Freddys this morning regarding how a call to Attorney General Cuomo's office might help their cause to get Bruce Ratner "indicted by this Friday, Jan 29, or he will walk into the eminent domain hearing with a clean slate. And that will influence the proceedings."
"Your call will help provide the right pressure at the right time to give Judge Gerges a reason NOT to rubberstamp the state's eminent domain grab in his court tomorrow, Friday the 29th."
