There are some who proclaim Albany is not a target for terrorists. Think Again!

Albany is a symbolic target- the seat of state government, the Capitol of the Empire State.

Albany is a major Northeast transportation cross roads with rail lines, interstate highways and bridges as well as a major incoming container cargo port.

Albany is a soft target that is not prepared.


GOVERNOR SPITZER has promulgated an administrative directive providing for the State DMV to issue drivers licences to illegal immigrants.

By so doing, Governor Spitzer is flaunting the rule of law as well as aiding and abetting terrorists
(foreign and their domestic allies), thereby placing all New Yorkers and the nation in harms way.

The Governor can not supercede state law by administrative action.

Governor Spitzer must immediately rescind his unlawful and dangerous directive.
