Just got this from a mailing from my state senator - also president of the state senate

New campaign sponsored by NYS Senator Malcolm A Smith, NYS Senator Eric Adams, The King of Kings Foundation and DJ Superstar Jay.

STOP THE SAG!

Raise your pants, raise your image!

Senate President Malcolm A Smith has joined forces with Senator Eric Adams on the campaign to encourage young men and woemn to pull up their sagging pants.

Senator Smith made the campaign mobile by posting the message on MTA buses throughout Southeast Queens.  Buses can be seen rolling through Queens with "Stop the Sag" ads carrying the message:  "Raise your pants - Raise your image.  We are better than this!  STOP the SAG!"

Senator Adams launched the campaign on billboards through his Brooklyn district, and produced a public service announcement online that went viral with over 100,000 hits.
