Visit the Coalition's new store, and pick up a logo t-shirt, hat, bag, in addition to
several items featuring the radio show logo.
A portion of the proceeds from each purchase helps support the
Coalition, and provides us with the money we need to continue issuing
reports, hosting informative screenings and panel discussions, put on the radio show, as well as other events.
Buffalo is the best city for commuters because we have a highway infrastructure designed in the 50s (and looking every day of it) for a population of 500,000+ people, which everyone assumed would just continue to grow.
(If I might just interject a suggestion or two here: 1. If you’re on the I-90 Eastbound by the airport, the I-290 interchange is counterintuitive. Reconfigure the exit so that the left lanes continue straight onto the 290, and the right lanes turn east towards Albany;and 2. Ramps onto and off of our expressways are banked backwards, increasing the risk of truck rollovers. Bank them correctly.)
On January 28, 2008 over 80 members of the Coalition and their guests showed up at Founding Fathers Restaurant to watch the President's State of the Union address and the Democratic Party response. While we might not agree with what was presented, all had a good time.
We want to thank the 80 people who attended the Third Annual State of the Union Party on January 28th. Next Year will be the first State of the Union Party under a different president, so mark your calendars for next year's event.
