    Some day I will have much more money and I swear on everything I believe, I will give you more money. Long live NYRA. I will never forget the oppression that I've faced and therefor I will always support NYRA as long as you remain true and honest to our struggle. You will always have a supporter in me as long as I have a supporter in you. That I guarantee you, till my death. I truly love this organization and every person, young and old, should take a look at what you have to say.

    I will be voting for Hal Levy. His experience and dedication say it all. He is a leader and a doer: the best combo for the NYRA.

    I really do believe in youth rights. And plus, the drinking age has failed us tremendously.
