 Whatever is done , I think MUST be done in coalition with ALL=
 groups
 fighting the battle .  I think it would be much more valuable=
 for the
 New York Libertarians to be one of a list of names supporting=
 the
 petition - with all the additional resources and cohorts that=
 implies -
 that try to pull off some sort of solo act .

 In that vein , I'm cc:ing Audrey Silk on this to alert her to=
 this
 ongoing thread .  I'm going to be in IL and CO until the 14th ,=
 so
 won't be around to do anything further until then .
