    I would like to officially join y/our cause. While I do not live in NY, I have strong ties to the state, and even stronger feelings about the current situation.

    We really need this sport to be legal in this state, not only for the fans but for the amateur fighters. I feel that they are the ones who are hurt by this the most.

    The Libertarian Party of Queens County voted unanimously on Saturday, February 2, 2014 "to support the legalization of Mixed Martial Arts in New York State."

    We would like to be listed as a member of the Coalition and our members would be interested in learning about all future coalition events.

    Natale Corsi is our new Liberty Outreach Coordinator and he will be our point man.
