I GOTTA ASK: How Bad Do You Want It?

Bad enough to show your support? Bad enough to show up at the Coliseum just a little bit early for Saturday's game? Bad enough to drive out to the Coliseum on Saturday morning, even if you're NOT going to the game? Bad enough to stand up and be counted even if you're NOT from the Town of Hempstead?

I think you do. More importantly, Nassau County Legislator Dave Denenberg (D-Merrick) and other civic leaders also do.

Please come to the Press Conference and sign a giant Memorandum of Support for the Lighthouse at Long Island Project at 11 am in front of the Nassau Coliseum.

They tell us we don't exist. They tell us to just move the team because Long Island doesn't deserve one. They tell us no one cares.

I tell them we do. Now it's time for YOU to tell them we do as well.

Take part in the show of support. Show the Town of Hempstead that this project is beneficial to ALL Long Islanders and that jobs and tax dollars shouldn't be funneled into Queens, or Brooklyn or Kansas City for that matter. Show them that we are smart enough to know that times are changing and with them, so does the landscape of Long Island.

We can't live in the past. We need to be part of the future. Please join your fellow Long Islanders at Nassau Veterans Memorial Coliseum to "Save the Island/Save the Islanders."
