“Government’s view of the economy could be summed up in a few short phrases: If it moves, tax it. If it keeps moving, regulate it. And if it stops moving, subsidize it”-Ronald Reagan

STATEMENT FROM NEW YORK STATE CONSERVATIVE PARTY CHAIRMAN GERARD KASSAR ON ELECTION OF ED COX AS NEW YORK REPUBLICAN CHAIRMAN
Brooklyn-NY…“The New York State Conservative Party congratulates its long-time friend and colleague, Ed Cox, on resuming his chairmanship of the New York State Republican Party, following a vote by the Republican State Committee in Albany this morning.
“Chairman Cox is a genuine public servant, and New York Republicans are fortunate to have him back at the helm. Chairman Cox, a personal friend, could be doing just about anything at this stage of his career, but he’s elected to get back in the trenches of New York politics, because that’s where he’s most needed. I look forward to working closely with Chairman Cox to defeat woke divisiveness and advance personal and economic liberties in a state that’s gone off the rails with one-party Democratic rule. Welcome back, Chairman.”

STATEMENT FROM NEW YORK STATE CONSERVATIVE PARTY CHAIRMAN GERARD KASSAR ON 100TH BIRTHDAY OF FORMER SENATOR/JUSTICE JAMES L. BUCKLEY
Brooklyn-NY “Fifty-three years ago, the New York State Conservative Party shocked the political world by electing James L. Buckley to the United States Senate on the Conservative Party line alone, defeating both the Republican and Democratic Party candidates for the seat.
“Following his time in the Senate, Mr. Buckley, a World War II Navy veteran (Pacific Theater), served as Undersecretary of State in the Reagan Administration, President of Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty during the Cold-War 1980’s, and, later, as a U.S. Court of Appeals Justice for the D.C. Circuit, the nation’s second-most important court. He is the only known living American to have served in such senior capacities in all three branches of government.
“Today, Mr. Buckley reaches a new milestone — his 100th birthday — and the Conservative Party thunderously applauds the occasion, as well as Mr. Buckley’s lifelong devotion to his country. It is as perplexing, as well as upsetting, to note on such a day that no public parklands, buildings, or structures to date have been named for this truly outstanding American.
“Mr. Buckley, one of the Senate’s great conservationists, was crucial in strengthening the Federal Clean Air and Clean Water Acts, and, closer to home, was instrumental in creating New York’s and New Jersey’s Gateway National Recreation Area, which has been enjoyed by tens of millions of Americans. We are pleased to see that Congresswoman Nicole Malliotakis (R-C, Staten Island) has sponsored legislation to recognize Senator Buckley’s work in creating and maintaining Gateway. We urge bipartisan passage of her legislation this year in both the House and the Senate.
“Jim Buckley has never stopped making the New York State Conservative Party proud. He is a genuine public treasure, and we salute him, not only on his 100th birthday, but for his goodness, devotion, and hard work. Happy birthday, Senator Buckley.”

STATEMENT FROM NEW YORK STATE CONSERVATIVE PARTY CHAIRMAN GERARD KASSAR ON NEW YORK CITY’S PROPOSAL TO PAY LAWBREAKERS WITH TAX DOLLARS
Brooklyn-NY…“Is it us, or is paying violent protesters $21,500 each for having broken the law a universally ridiculous idea — an idea almost as ludicrous as giving marijuana retail licenses to former drug dealers?
“By encouraging criminal behavior, with taxpayer money no less, New York is giving up any hope of becoming a just and civil society again. The New York State Conservative Party strongly condemns any incentivization of criminal behavior, a concept that can hardly be viewed as radical.
“The law-abiding public should be outraged by this proposal, as are we. Enriching lawbreakers for illegal behavior is just plain nuts.”

STATEMENT FROM NEW YORK STATE CONSERVATIVE PARTY CHAIRMAN GERARD KASSAR ON SENATE GOP JUDICIAL WIN
Brooklyn-NY…“New York State Senators are the duly elected representatives of the people of New York State, and, as such, they must have final say over gubernatorial nominees for state courts.
“Today’s judicial victory reaffirms the supremacy of the electorate over ad hoc political machinations that have become the norm in Albany under one-party Democratic rule. It is a win for New Yorkers of all political persuasion.
“The Conservative Party congratulates plaintiff Senator Anthony Palumbo, GOP Senate Leader Rob Ortt and the entire Republican State Senate Conference for defending a crucially important American concept from the temporary passions of hot-headed
ideologues. This decision is an important reminder that the people call the shots in this country through their elected representatives. Too many in Albany and Washington have forgotten that fundamental American notion.”

STATEMENT FROM NEW YORK STATE CONSERVATIVE PARTY CHAIRMAN GERARD KASSAR ON AT&T’S DISMISSAL OF NEWSMAX CHANNEL
Brooklyn-NY…“Political speech, particularly dissenting speech, is America’s most precious resource, whether it comes from the political left or the political right.
“The New York State Conservative Party is, therefore, alarmed at AT&T’s decision to pull the Newsmax Channel from its Dish Network offerings. We suspect this wasn’t done for the economic reasons AT&T claims — Newsmax has a considerable audience — it was a political decision based on faddish prejudices in corporate boardrooms against legitimate conservative opinion. (One America News Network has also been singled out for cancellation due to its ideological slant.)
“We urge AT&T to reconsider the cancellation of Newsmax. This country was founded on the premise that more speech is always preferred to less speech, and that wisdom applies as much today as it did at the beginning of the American experiment. Those who prefer not to be edified by conservative viewpoints have a simple solution available to them: change the channel. If that doesn’t work, they can always bury their heads in the sand.”

STATEMENT FROM NEW YORK STATE CONSERVATIVE PARTY CHAIRMAN GERARD KASSAR ON PRESIDENT BIDEN’S STATE OF THE UNION ADDRESS
Brooklyn-NY…“President Joe Biden’s State of the Union Address demonstrated just how fortunate we are to have elected a Republican House Majority last year. There has never been a greater need for a conservative bulwark against expansionist liberal government in Washington.
“It was disappointing to see and hear Mr. Biden intermingle calls for bipartisanship with cutting partisan lies about Social Security and Medicare. And after four years of denouncing Republican ‘America-First’ rhetoric, Mr. Biden now claims to be a champion of ‘Made in America.’
“We’re happy to have the President on board, and won’t wait up for an apology.”
