A quick reminder to those who may have missed the earlier call to action – you need to be calling your town supervisors if you live in Monroe County, New York. They are meeting with Time Warner privately this Friday, so they can hear their side of the story. The only problem is, many of them have not heard from their constituents on how much they hate usage caps. You need to bombard their offices with e-mail and phone calls.
The link above will take you to a complete contact list.
[Update 6:30pm: I received information just a short time ago that a large number of supervisors HAVE gotten the message from constituents and are getting too many e-mails to personally respond to! Several have visited StoptheCap! to pick up additional information on this issue, so YOU ARE MAKING AN IMPACT! KEEP IT UP! If you are a town supervisor, welcome!
More and more are now feeling this is an extraordinarily important issue for residents and are following it closely.
Don’t be discouraged if they haven’t replied to you yet. They may simply be like me, overwhelmed in the inbox!]
Just hand delivered a letter to Gates town supervisor earlier today. Sadly – email was not an option, but there is something special about a real letter to real. Makes it more official I guess.
Time Warner Cable, as you might expect, is a heavy political contributor. If you talk to elected official, remind them that their first responsibility is to you as a constituent, not Time Warner as a past or potential contributor.
In the last 2 years, just to local NY officeholders:
State Senator Joe Robach $500
State Senator Jim Alesi $500
State Senator George Maziarz $1000
State Assemblymember Joe Morelle $500
State Assemblymember David Koon $1000

I emailed 4 different folks regarding this disaster. Never heard anything back…… we’ll see……..
I revised my Gates letter and sent an email of it to Maggie Brooks, to which I got her default email auto reply. Pretty much what I expected back. I’m sure she’s bombarded with emails.
I like so many others have sent emails, I wonder if they just mass delete them. Never heard anything from anyone.
