Make a Donation to UPAC

UPAC, a completely nonpartisan entity, will be actively supporting a tightly focused group of NY State candidates who share our mission. But we cannot do it alone. To be effective, we need your support. Employers and employees are fleeing New York for economic opportunities elsewhere, driving up unemployment and leaving fewer of us to bear a tax burden that continues to increase despite these economic realities.

Unshackle Upstate created UPAC, its political action committee, for the specific purpose of altering this dynamic. Our mission: Reshaping New York's tax and regulatory structure which today, quite candidly, is extremely hostile toward employers and the jobs they create, as well as to taxpayers.

That means we must vote out those who are blocking our recovery, incumbent state legislators whose voting records have empowered the "tax and spend" mentality that has long dominated Albany, whose refusal to adhere to fiscal responsibility and spending restraint demonstrates an openly hostile attitude toward the state's business and taxpayer community. It also means that we must get solidly behind challengers to those Albany incumbents, candidates who are committed to promoting effective economic development and reining in our state budget.

Please join us today. Make a donation to UPAC and help us bring a new attitude to Albany, a new group of dedicated leaders who will actively support the business and taxpayer community by reducing taxes and creating more private sector jobs.

Time is running short, and New York state's future is at stake.

Help us restore "The Empire State" to its place of economic prominence.
