When I just made my calls I just got a recording for a call back from Haestie's district office. Sorry that his Albany number wasn't included earlier. 518-455-3791 I got a nice person there who took my message. Same as at Stewart-Cousin's Albany office (the 518 number).

Please remember to make 2 calls TODAY Monday 4/12. Or send two emails.
You can make the calls any time of the day. The sign-up sheet (https://tinyurl.com/dzr6yys3) is just to monitor how many calls are being made.
Speaker of the New York State Assembly: Carl Heastie (718) 654-6539 Spe...@nyassembly.gov
Majority Leader of the New York State Senate: Andrea Stewart-Cousins (914) 423-4031 or (518) 455-2585 scou...@nysenate.gov
Suggested script below but improvise as you feel comfortable. Communicate urgency! If this bill isn't passed soon we could be stuck with insecure voting machines for the next 10 years. Think about the brouhaha after the last election about voting results. These machines would make matters much worse. If you leave a phone message, speak slowly & clearly. Thanks!
"Hello. My name is (your name). I live in (your county), NY, (your zip code). I work with NYPAN-SFL (or other group if you want to include it).
The legislature must pass Assembly bill A1115/Senate bill S309 now. These bills ban voting machines that security experts say can change votes on our ballots. One of these machines, the ExpressVoteXL, could be certified by the State Board of Elections as early as April 22, unless this legislation is passed. The NYC BOE has indicated it will buy these risky machines as soon as they are certified. If you don't take immediate action on this, millions of voters could be using these machines soon all across the state. This could even affect your ability to be re-elected. Please bring A1115/S309 to the floor immediately.
Thank you!"
After you make your calls, please write a quick comment in the comments section next to where you signed your name on the sign-up sheet (https://tinyurl.com/dzr6yys3), saying what happened like "I left a voicemail with a message" or "I spoke with (so and so) and gave her my comments."
You can also send a quick email to con...@SMARTelections.us with the subject “MADE MY CALLS” - if that’s easier. And please say that Mary sent you :-)
You can also share our Call Rally On Twitter or on Facebook. There's a flyer on the NYPAN-SFL Facebook pages that can be easily shared. Or forward the message below to a friend, neighbor or your network. Every New Yorker you speak with today could make these calls. Reach out to your neighbors, faith groups, friends, spouse, extended family, working groups & networks. If each of gets 2 more people to call today - the impact will be tripled!!
Just cut and paste the details above into an email or a tweet or a FB message. Thanks for spreading the word!
Thank you so much! for helping to reach out to our legislative leaders today.
Together we will make a powerful impact!
Kind Regards,
Mary
