An unfortunate occurrence is a driver gets pulled over and does not know he or she had a suspended drivers license for an unpaid or forgotten ticket the result of which would be the drivers immediate arrest.

Please read the following letter and make sure you aren’t driving with a suspended license!

Dear Friend:

Each year hundreds of people within our community are arrested while driving with a suspended driver license. The Department of Motor Vehicles can suspend your driving privileges for a variety of reasons. The most common reason a license is suspended is if you don’t answer a traffic summons, or if you fail to pay the full fine or surcharge listed on the summons.

YESHIVA TUITION BREAK – PLEASE ACT NOW

One sixty second phone call could save our community millions of dollars on tuition.

With just one week left in the Legislative session in Albany, now is the time to act to help families who are struggling to pay yeshiva tuition. Assemblyman Vito Lopez and Senator Marty Golden have introduced legislation that would allow middle-class parents to deduct the cost of private school tuition from their state taxes and poor families would receive an actual tax credit. This could save average families in our community thousands of dollars each year.

But we must ACT NOW. The legislative session in Albany ends June 21st
Please call Governor Spitzer’s office today at (800) 319 – 3403.
If you speak with a live operator, please tell them: “I’m calling to ask the Governor to support the Lopez-Golden Tuition Tax Deduction Bill.”
If you reach a voice mailbox, DO NOT HANG UP. Each message is logged and counts! After the tone, leave the same message along with your zip code: “I am calling to ask the Governor to support the Lopez-Golden Tuition Tax Deduction Bill. My zip code is XXXXX.”
Governor Spitzer has the ability to get this done. But he must hear from you and everyone you know. It’s a simple call, every single call made to the Governor is logged and will make a difference!
