USA Wrestling has asked its members, both in New York and around the nation, to contact the office of two prominent New York state political leaders, asking for them to change their position and support the proposed Olympic Stadium project for New York City.    Jay L. Kriegel, the Executive Director of NYC2012, has asked those who support the bid to bring the 2012 Summer Olympics to New York, to call and FAX the office of two key politicians.    Assembly Speaker Sheldon Silver  Phone: 518-455-3791   Fax: 518-455-5459     Senate Majority Leader Joseph Bruno   Phone: 518-455-3191   Fax: 518-455-2448     Kriegel has published a letter urging citizens to protest the decision against the Olympic Stadium project. The text of the memo is below.    "USA Wrestling strongly supports NYC2102 and its efforts to bring the Olympic Games to New York," said Rich Bender, USA Wrestling Executive Director. "The approval of the Olympic Stadium is the key element needed for New York to have a chance to secure the Olympics. The U.S. wrestling community can make a difference. Take the time TODAY to contact Speaker Silver and Leader Bruno, and demand their support for the Olympic Stadium."  ----------------    NYC2012 MEMO    To: NYC2012 Supporters   From: Jay L. Kriegel, Executive Director   Wednesday, June 8, 2005    Today's press makes very clear, sadly, that the action on Monday by State Assembly Speaker Silver and State Senate Leader Bruno voting against the Olympic Stadium had absolutely no substantive reason.     It is stunning to read every one of their comments and find not one objection to the Olympic Stadium project itself, which every study has shown has enormous economic benefits for both the City and the State and will not just recover the full public investment, but will generate a profit to the public of over $1 billion.    Despite the Speaker's references to Lower Manhattan development, it is now clear that on Saturday the Mayor made an extraordinary offer which more than met every single concern regarding Lower Manhattan development through an extensive and unprecedented subsidy and incentive package. Even more, the Mayor offered to freeze all incentives to West Side development until Lower Manhattan was significantly rented. Everyone in the real estate industry involved in these projects has found the Mayor's proposals to be a complete response to all of the Speaker's concerns. So this was not about Lower Manhattan development.     Regarding the West Side development, it should be noted that the rezoning of the West Side was done by the New York City Council in February after a two year process which included extensive public hearings. At no time did the Speaker testify in opposition to this rezoning or file objections when it was being considered by the Borough President or the City Council. To raise this now as a reason not to approve the Olympic Stadium project is a red herring.     We are left with the conclusion from today's press reports that Monday's vote to kill the Olympic Stadium was based solely on parochial politics, not on any public policy or concerns for the City's future. These reports are an embarrassment for New York nationally and internationally. To have the City's Olympic bid jeopardized by this kind of negative politics may not just defeat the bid, but has shown New York in the worst possible light just as we are stepping onto the world stage against other great cities, all striving to win this most coveted of all international prizes. Monday's action by the State Legislative Leaders has thrown into grave jeopardy the City's bid, which is also America's bid.     Many of you have already contacted us to express your shock and deep disappointment. Our 2000 Olympians and Paralympians from across America and from 50 other countries are particularly appalled that local politics would override the City's and the nation's Olympic dream.    I urge you to communicate your feelings immediately to the two Leaders directly at the following numbers:    Assembly Speaker Sheldon Silver  Phone: 518-455-3791   Fax: 518-455-5459     Senate Majority Leader Joseph Bruno   Phone: 518-455-3191   Fax: 518-455-2448     Please continue to share with us your thoughts and actions.    Let me assure you that we are making every effort to find a way to ensure that New York's bid can continue and be successful.
