11 (of 14) NYC Reps Support Debt Cancellation for Haiti!

Thanks to NYC Results members and their fantastic Representatives for supporting the successful letter to Treasury Secretary Geithner. On receipt of the bi-partisan letter the Secretary released a press release voicing the U.S. support of debt cancellation! This was a great effort and thanks again to the signing members: Ackerman, Clarke, Crowley, Engel, Maloney, Meeks, Nadler, Rangel, Serrano, Towns and Velázquez. The U.S. message is now clear: Grants, not Loans, for Haiti.
Signed the letter:
Gary Ackerman,
District 5
Yvette Clarke,
District 11
James Crowley,
District 7
Elliot Engel,
District 17
Carolyn Maloney,
District 14

Edward Meeks,
District 6

Jerrold Nadler,
 District 8

Charles Rangel,
District 15
Jose Serrano, 
District 16
Ed Towns,
District 10

Nydia Velazquez,
District 12
Didn't get around to signing:
Carolyn McCarthy,
District 4
Michael McMahon,
District 13
Anthony Weiner,
District 9
There will, however, be an even more important opportunity to show support by co-sponsoring the anticipated legislation which will allow the U.S. to lead the international community on this issue.
Stay tuned.
