For New Yorkers who work the night shift, it can be nearly impossible to participate in political life of our city.

So tonight we’re bringing this campaign to them — starting with taxi drivers waiting at LaGuardia.

As a patriotic American it makes me sick going to bed each night thinking that the President and his friends don't have an appropriate space to hold fetes, balls, galas and other gatherings
