I thank the Patch.com/Bed-Stuy Reporter Ms. Morris for bringing this meeting notice to the public attention. I now publicly state I will be in attendance at this meeting to support Mr Cornegy's work. At the same time I will now publicly demand Mr. Robert Cornegy spend some portion of the meeting focusing on specific steps We the People (the first three words in the U.S. Constitution) can take to remove our public tax money from the gun industry's coffers. Mr. Cornegy, I draw your attention to an article in the Dec 19, 2012 edition of the New York Daily News which revealed that Governor Cuomo (while talking tough against guns) invested $11 million of NYS tax money in the gun industry; The same article revealed that Mayor Bloomberg also (while taking tough against guns) invested $18 million in gun companies. Mr. Cornegy We the People DEMAND YOU lead the charge to disinvest our public tax funds from these gun companies--or pack your bags and get out of Bed-Stuy! We the People will no longer tolerate do nothing politicians!
