Uniting NYS is working hard with grassroot groups across the state to register voters in order to vote Governor Hochul out of office in 2026. It is time to #TakeBackNY from the radical leadership in Albany. Recently, we set up a table at the Sportsman Show at the Seneca Allegany Casino Events Center in Salamanca, NY to register voters and “get out the vote”. It was a huge success!
CCRW (a grassroots group in Chautauqua County) volunteered to help Uniting NYS work the table over the two-day event. Our “Stop Quarantine Kathy” signs at our table gave us a ton of attention! This opened the door for great conversations, such as “are you registered to vote?” Many said “yes!” Then we encouraged people to make sure they get out to vote in 2026. We got a lot of replies such as “they sure will!” or “definitely!”
Several young guys in their twenties admitted they were not registered and realized that they needed to be in order to change the direction of our state. One young gentleman had his little girl in his arms, and I believe he was convicted about not being registered. He said, “he should be registered.” Then he took the registration form and so did his friend. We explained what to do and how to turn it in. We will definitely be following up on them. As a father, I think he realized his voice is so important for the future of his daughter.
We talked to so many people who have been frustrated with the things that are happening with the state. Two correction officers stopped by our table. They were badly beaten by inmates and have not been treated well by our leadership. They have a true disdain for what is happening in Albany.
Our volunteers explained to visitors at our table, that Uniting NYS is working with grassroots groups all across the state, even in the heavy blue areas to make sure everyone votes in 2026. These people were encouraged and signed up for our newsletter, so they could follow us and get involved.
The two-day event in Salamanca helped us grow our reach and gathered like-minded people to register to vote and “get out the vote.” Join our effort to #TakeBackNY If you are a grassroots group or individual who would like to help us at events such as sportsman shows, fishing shows, hunting shows, county fairs, town celebrations, etc. Please email us at info@unitingnys.com
We are also looking for events to attend to get more people registered to vote and to “get out the vote.” If you know of an event that would be good for us to attend, please email the event information to info@unitingnys.com.
