CANDIDATE PETITIONS FILED

I am pleased to announce that due to the hard work of our Party Chairmen, and hundreds of volunteers, the Conservative Party has filed nominating petitions in every corner of the state.

This guarantees that when you turn out to vote you will find a qualified candidate representing your values running for Congress, State Senate, Assembly and other local offices. With so much at stake this November, I urge you to follow the developing races and to get involved with your local candidates.

DeSANTIS ONE, DISNEY ZERO

 Every time I hear criticism of the Governor and State Legislature of Florida over the prohibition

against teaching young children about sexual orientation, I just want to shout, “What is wrong with them?”

Florida got it right. This is an inappropriate curriculum for young children to say the least. The Disney wonks who thought they could advocate their political agenda free of push back were very much wrong. Though much of the criticism seems to be coming from the top of the Disney hierarchy as many every day employees have come out to say the company does not speak for them and their values as parents.

Disney World has received enormous benefits from the citizens of Florida including semi-autonomous status for the park. I would think abiding by this statute without the many threats to the state and its citizens that have emanated from the entertainment giant would be appropriate.

As far as NYC Mayor Adams conducting an advertising campaign of many millions of dollars to urge the LBGTQ community to leave Florida and move to NYC, I would recommend that if he really cared about making people want to return to NYC he use the money to hire more police, not further stimulate the Florida economy.

OBAMA RETURNS

 Let us not forget that President Obama’s return to the White House was to celebrate the anniversary of one of the worst pieces of legislation in the past fifty years – Obamacare.

If it was not for the gutting of the original program by the courts and the Trump Administration, Obamacare would have destroyed healthcare and the economy.

On another note about the same event, despite my general negative view of all that is Biden, I felt bad for him as his Vice President and those in attendance literally ignored his presence to fawn over Obama. Joe Biden looked weak as his presence was dismissed and overshadowed by a man who has not held public office in nearly six years. Clearly, even mainstream Democrats don’t want to hitch their wagon to the Biden administration.

Congrats Ari Brown

 Congratulations to Nassau County’s newest Member of the New York State Assembly, Ari Brown. This is a big win for Ari and the Conservative and Republican parties as Ari outperformed the 2020 Presidential margin of victory by 25%

Breaking Redistricting News

Yesterday, a New York Supreme Court Judge ruled new district lines for Congress, State Senate and the Assembly created by the highly partisan Democratic leadership of the New York Legislature and signed into law by Governor Kathy Hochul, are in violation of the New York State Constitution. He ordered new bi-partisan maps to be submitted no later than April 11^th. Of course, the Democratic leadership of the Legislature appealed. A stay has been issued as the case makes its way to the 4^th Department in Rochester.

We are very pleased with this well-written, thoughtful decision which at its heart says that the reapportionment process overseen by the Democrats in the Legislature was tainted from its earliest stages.

Additionally, countless editorial boards and interested organizations have favorably commented on Judge McAllister’s decision.

Joe Pinion for United States Senate

Joe Pinion is an advocate, entrepreneur, and political news commentator. Throughout his life, Joe has witnessed both the power of opportunity and the pernicious impact of government driven neglect.

From the faces within his own family to the stories he has helped explore from behind a news desk, Joe personally understands the realities confronting the everyday people that call New York home.

Joe, born and raised in Yonkers, NY by his mother and grandmother, graduated from Horace Mann High School. A standout student-athlete, he was recruited to play football at Colgate University, where he was a 2 year varsity letter winner and a member of the 2003 team that finished 15-1 and played in the I-AA National Championship.

In that same time, and much more, Chuck Schumer has been a career politician. A career that spans nearly 50 years, Schumer knows nothing except tax-payer funded paychecks. He does, however, have an ownership stake in New York—particularly in the states decline.

Known for Sunday press conferences and bragging about visiting all 62 counties annually, he is short on accomplishments. New York is ready for change.  Chuck Schumer’s vision for New York is stale.  Joe Pinion is our vehicle for change.

New Stadium Bad deal for New York Taxpayers

 Government certainly can play an important role in supporting its home teams, but $850 million in taxpayer dollars to construct a new stadium for the Buffalo Bills is not a proper use of state funds.

There has been a great deal of talk that these types of expenditures have become common

around the nation, that should not be the case. In fact, they should not be happening at all. Not only is this deal not beneficial to New Yorker’s, it far exceeds what other localities have given to other teams.

While we wish the Bills another exceptional season, we believe its billionaire primary owner should not become wealthier as a result of enormous injections of taxpayer cash.

Joe Biden’s Gaffs Continue

 Either President Biden had some great strategy in mind when he spoke of regime changes in Russia or it just goes down as another one of his countless unhinged gaffs. In this case, I am going to go with another, albeit, very dangerous gaff.

Ironically, I totally agree that regime change is necessary in Russia. I also feel strongly that Putin

should be tried for war crimes even if it needs to be in absentia. The problem for the world is that Joe Biden is not like everybody. Whether he was telegraphing a time line for US Troop withdrawals from Afghanistan or commenting on the leadership and government of Russia, he needs to recognize that as President his words can have incredible consequences.

I hope one day our “friends” in the mainstream media will hold him accountable, though I won’t hold my breath. We must continue to report, in good faith, what we see and hear ourselves as it is clear the media will continue to shill on behalf of this administration.

Petitioning Final Stretch

As you know nominating petitions move the party’s rhetoric into action by placing our endorsed candidates for Congress & the State Legislature on the ballot. They also are necessary to organize the Party’s State and County Committees which are the basic units upon which political parties function.

It is important that all registered Conservative Party members sign a party petition. In some cases, a party member would have been at your door or made other arrangements to obtain your signature. With 155,000 enrolled party members many will be missed, so we need your help.

If you (a registered conservative)  have not yet signed a nominating petition, please contact your local Conservative Party leader. If you need assistance locating the proper contact, call our headquarters at (718)-921-2158 and we will put you in touch with a local party representative.

Your signature on a Conservative petition is vital to our functioning as a party and time is running out.

Broken Windows Theory of Policing Returns to NYC

There are many parts of Mayor Adams’s agenda that the Conservative Party does not support. Fortunately in one key area, public safety, the Conservative Party and most city residents agree with the Mayor’s efforts.

The anti-crime unit, albeit with a new name, are making an effective comeback taking guns and criminals off the streets.  Currently at half strength, the NYPD expects 400 or so men and women to fill these highly trained specialized units.

In addition, the Mayor has announced a crackdown on quality of life crimes like turnstile jumpers and shoplifters.  This is a return of “Broken Windows Theory of Law Enforcement.” At its heart it works to stop small time offenses before those perpetrating them move onto committing bigger crimes.

The broken windows theory had been proven to work in New York City until Bill

de Blasio did away with this policing tactic.  We hope the return of common sense policing will restore some law and order and give peace of mind to residents and guests of the city.

Conservative Party Presents J. Daniel Mahoney Award

Our Legislative Reception held in Albany this past Monday was hugely successful with a large, enthusiastic crowd cheering our two honorees, as well as the campaigns ahead of us. I want to thank everyone who came out to support the party and those who continue to fight alongside us as we move into this very important election season.

One thing was crystal clear, the Conservative Party, our incumbents, and our new candidates are expecting that our winning ways from 2021 will continue into November.

Our award winners, Broome County Chairman Aaron Martin, and Suffolk County Chairman Mike Torres, were a gigantic part of our 2021 success. We were very pleased to honor them and look forward to working together to deliver more results this November.

Mitch McConnell says he will oppose confirming Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson to the Supreme Court.

ZELDIN TAKES OFF

There was exciting news on all fronts concerning Congressman Lee Zeldin’s bid for Governor.  On the Republican primary front, Zeldin the unanimous choice of the Conservative Party, was distancing himself from his three GOP opponents.  In fact, he is leading second place Andrew Giuliani and Rob Astorino 45 to 14, a full 31 points, with Harry Wilson a very distant third.

Polling indicates in the general election Lee was in a statistical tie with Hochul.  This is by far the best showing for a GOP/Conservative candidate, at this point in time, since George Pataki was in office.

Frankly I am not surprised.  For months the leadership of the party and myself have been vocal proponents of the Zeldin candidacy.

A conservative by nature, with a solid voting record on issues important to us, he has shown himself to be an awesome campaigner and an equally strong fundraiser. Often accompanied by his wife and twin daughters while crisscrossing the state, Lee emanates the warmth of a family man and the strength of a Lt. Colonel in the Army.

 SUNY BROCKPORT LOSES ITS MIND

It seems as though we can always count on the academic elites to do something that causes you to shake your head and wonder what they are thinking.  SUNY BROCKPORT is planning to highlight convicted cop killer Anthony Bottom at an upcoming “Diversity Conference.”  Worse yet, until the statewide outcry from our party, the GOP, Senate GOP Leader Ortt, and countless other conservative oriented officials, Brockport was planning to use taxpayer dollars to pay Bottom for his appearance.

Paying him has been taken off the table. That is not nearly enough. Bottom’s invitation needs to be rescinded.  Furthermore, SUNY Brockport should reach out to the families of slain police officers Waverly Jones and Joseph Piagentini to apologize for the unnecessary pain the school’s actions have caused.  I suppose I will not hold my breath, but it is what they should do.

STATEMENT FROM NEW YORK STATE CONSERVATIVE PARTY CHAIRMAN GERARD KASSAR

 HARRIS IS AN EMBARRASSEMENT

It seems that one of the few national items of which both the right and the left often agree is Vice President Harris’s poor handling of her office. Poor handling of her office seems to be her MO, but actually embarrassing the nation of which she is second in command is new territory even for Harris.

Her performance last week, at a press conference with the Polish President, in which she was clearly unprepared can only be described as embarrassing. And then her attempt at humor in which she laughed at her own comments only further deepened the problems that are occurring regularly for the United States on the world stage.

Reality is catching up to Biden on the border.

Out of Touch and Out of Line

Democratic Senators Rachel May and Robert Jackson showed a complete disregard for the thousands of victims, their families, those we continue to lose today and the millions that were affected by the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks. Their cheap political imagery depicting an airplane flying into the twin towers was a truly sickening display of politics, one that has no place in New York or anywhere else.

Fortunately, many people noticed, held them accountable and forced them into a quick, cheap apology, though the damage was already done. Though they continued to show how out of touch they are with the real world as they gave poor excuses, such as they didn’t see the banner their staffs had produced before posing with it.

Regardless of party affiliation 9/11 imagery to push political agendas are despicable. While I’d like to say I believe they have learned their lesson, I have a suspicion their apology was made out of necessity not remorse.  See our press release here.

Rep. Malliotakis Introduces Legislation Honoring James Buckley

 On the 99^th birthday of former Senator James Buckley, Congresswoman Nicole Malliotakis introduced H.R. 7034 to rename portions of the Gateway National Seashore located on Staten Island in his honor.

Buckley, who was elected to the United States Senate solely on the Conservative Party line, played a pivotal role in establishing the Gateway National Recreation area which is a large element within the National Park System.

On behalf of the Conservative Party we’d like to thank the Congresswoman, wish her success and offer our full support.

Remove Russia from the UN Security Council

 Although, personally, I would much prefer to see the United States remove itself from the UN and send the organization packing, the reality is that stiff action needs to be taken in the form of removing Russia from permanent member status.

 Russia has used its position to block what in theory is the most important role the UN is designed for—preventing war and genocide.

 Permanent members can be removed by a 2/3 vote of the General Assembly. It is time to remove Putin and his hostile Russian regime and see where other UN member’s loyalty lie.

US leaders predicted Kyiv’s swift fall after Russian invasion. Why were they so wrong?

Convention

This past week both the New York State Conservative and Republican parties held conventions and I am proud to announce we have a unified slate of candidates going into November 2022.

The two parties are unified behind a ticket led by Lee Zeldin and his pick for Lt. Governor, former NYPD Deputy Inspector Alison Esposito, United States Senate candidate Joe Pinion, New York State Attorney General candidate Michael Henry and finally New York State Comptroller candidate Paul Rodriguez.

In many ways 2022 is do or die for New York State. Year after year you hear about this election being the most “important.” Well, we have hit critical mass in New York State and we cannot afford the trajectory our leaders have us on. Our streets aren’t becoming less safe, they are less safe. Our pockets aren’t going to hurt, they are hurting. Time for a change is here, time to try something new is here.

Please visit our facebook page to see the acceptance speeches from our slate of candidates.

Reapportionment Legal

The Democratic Party wanted our petition related to overturning the grossly unfair gerrymander of the Congress and State legislature to be dismissed this past week when our hearing began before the State Supreme Court in Steuben County.  We wanted a full hearing on our claims with discovery ordered to accompany all written arguments and responses.  We got what we wanted.  The Democratic representative did not.

The Judge is committed to dealing with the case in an expeditious manner.  I am happy with the progress and will continue to keep you informed.

 State of The Union

The Conservative Party was pleased to see a bipartisan spirit of cooperation Tuesday over Russia’s vicious and illegal invasion of democratic Ukraine. We urge President Biden and Congress to redouble U.S. efforts to cripple Russia’s already faltering economy and to provide brave Ukraine with the lethal weaponry needed to defend itself.

We were anything but pleased, though, with President Biden’s domestic agenda that subscribes to the failed and magical liberal philosophy that the more government spends the more it saves. That’s how you drive an economy into the ground.

What’s needed is a long-term plan to stop the government overspending driving the most rapid inflation growth in 40 years. Americans once reached for the moon. Now, they reach ever more deeply into their pockets just to pay the interest on U.S. debt. That’s not a sustainable practice, and, until proper fiscal stewardship enters Washington’s vernacular, our woes at the supermarket and gas pump will go on.

Russia Invades the Ukraine

Vladimir Putin’s Russia revealed itself as a pariah state this week as it launched an unprovoked invasion of Democratic Ukraine.

The New York State Conservative Party urges President Biden and other world leaders to impose the most severe sanctions possible on Putin’s Russian regime.

Ukraine is a free and independent nation that escaped the grasp of Marxism a generation ago. It must not be lost to totalitarianism again. To the brave Ukrainians who have taken up arms to defend their homeland and democracy, you are in our thoughts and prayers. We wish you all the strength in the world to repeal back this invasion.  Read our statement on Russia’s invasion here.

Reapportionment

 The New York State Supreme Court in Steuben County will hear the major case objecting to the new New York State Senate and House of Representatives district lines.

The hearing is set to be held on Thursday, March 3^rd. We expect a decision soon after and remain hopeful that we will have a successful day in court. The State Constitution outlines numerous criteria for a fair and equitable reapportionment.

Many members of the media and political scene, regardless of party affiliation, in NY and across the country have spoken out against the gerrymandered lines presented to us by the Democratic state legislature. We believe we will present strong arguments that must be taken into serious consideration.

 Alison Esposito for Lt. Governor

 I was pleased to attend Lee Zeldin’s announcement Wednesday as he named his running mate for Lt. Governor, Deputy Inspector Alison Esposito.

Inspector Esposito is a retiring member of the NYPD who will bring an abundance of knowledge and experience in law enforcement at a time when New York City and State desperately need it.

What may not be as obvious is her wide range of experience throughout NYC’s diverse communities or her proven ability to lead in the most stressful of circumstances.

Born and raised in Orange County, and a current Manhattan resident, Alison is a well-studied conservative with solid core beliefs. Together with Zeldin they will return the executive chamber to common sense, conservative control.

Zeldin, Esposito and the rest of the statewide tickets will be nominated on Saturday afternoon at our convention to be held at the Westchester Manor with check-in beginning at 1:00 pm. I look forward to a good convention with many of you in attendance.
