Election Day is TUESDAY NOVEMBER 4th:
Do you know where YOUR candidates stand on ferret legalization?

FIRST: Find out which DISTRICT you live in and write it down.

SECOND: Look below to find out which candidate in your district is in favor of legalizing ferrets (don't worry about the other 50, just look at the names for your district.)

THIRD: If NONE of the candidates for your district is a current or former NYC Council Member, or if their position on ferret legalization is "unknown," call their offices and find out where they stand! Make sure you get the name of the person you spoke with and let us know as well so we can notify people in their district.

FOURTH: Volunteer to help with the campaigns of "Ferret Friendly" candidates for your district. Call their campaign offices and offer to volunteer for few hours and do some filing, put up flyers, or answer phones. Support the candidates who support us!

FIFTH: Most importantly, go to the polls on November 4th and vote!


 

NYCFerrets.Com supports the New York City Council Members who have shown their support for ferret legalization in NYC over the past few years.

Council members who have supported our efforts are hi-lighted in green and we encourage people in their district to write down their name and vote for them at the Tuesday November 4th 2003 General Election.

Council Members who have not supported ferret legalization in the past are hi-lighted in red. We encourage people to find out where the other candidates for City Council in those districts stand on the issue of ferret legalization in NYC.

We know nothing about the positions of candidates listed in gray and encourage people in those districts to find out where the candidates stand on ferret legalization and let us know so we can update our list below and make our recommendations accordingly.

You can get a candidate's contact information several ways:

  1. See if they're currently a Council Member, and if so, contact them or a member of their staff at the address or phone number listed
  2. Get their mailing address from the NYC Board of Elections (no phone numbers included)
  3. Do a Google search on them

KEEP FERRET FRIENDLY COUNCIL MEMBERS IN OFFICE!
