CONSERVATIVES TOUT WINS ACROSS NEW YORK STATE

 Brooklyn, NY – State Chairman Gerard Kassar noted that the Conservative Party had a great election night due to the efforts of excellent local leaders of county organizations who put our candidates over the top.   Just some of the highlights are below:

  • Taking back the Town of Hempstead – the largest town in the United States with 800K people.
  • Winning a civil court seat in Richmond County on the predominately Democratic North Shore.
  • Flipping the town of Yorktown in Westchester County with 33 year- old Matt Slater a true rising star
  • A landslide victory for returning Dutchess County Executive Marc Molinaro against Governor Cuomo’s handpicked candidate
  • Flipping the Clinton County Legislature together with many other gains in the North Country
  • Taking back the City of Canandaigua
  • In Wayne County every single non-Judicial election was won by a candidate supported by the Wayne County Conservative Party.
  • Our candidate George Scaringe is holding a lead in the Town of Colonie.
  • In the Fourth Judicial District all 4 of our candidates won with the Conservative Party providing the margin of victory to Michael R. Cuevas.

The Party provided the margin of victory in many races including Hempstead, the Richmond Judicial race as well as several Livingston County Judicial races, the Yorktown race, and the City of Canandaigua in Ontario County.

Despite the unfortunate loss of our outstanding Monroe County Executive candidate, Cheryl Dinolfo, Monroe County Conservatives had many victories. This can also be said of many of our county organizations who saw gains both small and large.

The Conservative Party attributes many of this year’s victories to the implementation by the New York State Legislature of outrageous polices, on crime, taxes, government spending and cultural battles that caught the attention of New Yorkers from all localities and all walks of life.

Governor Cuomo and Mayor de Blasio
Have No Compassion for The Victims
The Victims of the Crime are Also Entitled to Justice

 Brooklyn, NY – What were they thinking?  The democratic controlled New York State Legislature passed and the Governor signed a bill to eliminate bail for defendants charged with an array of misdemeanor and felony crimes and made it retroactive!

Thus, the Governor is able to free them even before the law’s effective date.  To add salt on the proverbial wound, Mayor de Blasio is offering incentives – that taxpayers are paying for – movie passes and gift cards to encourage them to return to court.

This is a complete miscarriage of true justice.  The people truly harmed are ignored, while the perpetrator is rewarded.  Taxpayers are forced to pay for this injustice.

Is it any wonder why people are fleeing New York in droves?

Chairman Kassar’s wrap-up discusses the Impeachment Resolution, Governor Cuomo’s lemmings and the death of an ISIS coward.


Welcome to Chairman Kassar’s Weekly Wrap-Up for November 1, 2019.

 NEW YORK CONGRESSIONAL DEMOCRATS VOTE ‘YES’ ON IMPEACHMENT RESOLUTION

The Democratic Party’s Congressional Members from New York have failed the people, all of which have voted affirmatively on an impeachment resolution Thursday that advances the unprecedented witch hunt against President Donald Trump.

It is particularly shameful for Reps. Sean Maloney. Max Rose, Paul Tonko and Anthony Brandisi. These are legislators who advertised themselves as moderates to trick unsuspecting voters into putting them into office before stabbing their constituents in the back with this vote.

“My constituents want to judge things for themselves, and I support them. They want more information and public testimony,“ Brandisi said to justify his cowardly actions. “The only way to ensure this actually happens is to take the investigation into the public arena and shine a much-needed bright light.”

Congressman Max Rose said, “The President says he is innocent, so all we are saying is prove it.”  It is shameful that Congressman Rose, an attorney, does not understand the basic American judicial plank that we are all innocent until proven guilty.

The behavior of these “moderate” Democrats shows that the entire party fold has radicalized without exception. Democratic Party policy is now dictated by the likes of Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez – the “Green New Deal” proponent who is striving for radical communism. The days of the JFK-style reasonable Democrat are long gone.

The resolution ultimately passed by a 232-196 margin, and brings the country one step closer to civil war as the Democrats will do anything in their power to oust President Trump before the 2020 presidential election.

GOV. ANDREW CUOMO’S LEMINGS BREAK THE LAW TO DEFEAT FUSION VOTING

It was discovered this week that Gov. Andrew Cuomo’s hand-picked bureaucrats were in such a rush to destroy the practice of fusion voting that they did not even take their Oaths of Office before wielding power. The Party issued a press release on this major issue on Tuesday.

“Today we learned that his commissioners, including State Democratic Party boss Jay Jacobs, were so rushed to do Mr. Cuomo’s bidding that they failed to even take an Oath of Office, a strict requirement of New York State law. What an incredible waste of money: All of the commission’s previous votes, hearings, and activities have now been rendered null and void.”

“Andrew Cuomo’s commission to exact revenge on political foes is now officially a disaster. It’s been obvious since the commission was authorized by the state budget that this slapstick assemblage was all about Mr. Cuomo’s political grudges and nothing to do with public policy or sentiment,” I wrote in a Op-Ed printed in the NY Daily News also on Tuesday.

New York State GOP Chairman Nick Langworthy is echoing the concerns that I covered in my Op-Ed, and hammered Cuomo’s lawlessness and incompetence during a Public Finance Commission Hearing that took place earlier this week.

“This commission served no purpose other than to do the dishonest bidding of Governor Cuomo,” Langworthy said.

Public Finance Commissioner and state Democratic Party Chair Jay Jacobs confirmed to the New York Times this week that he will be using his power to destroy the fusion voting system that has given a voice to conservative and liberal activists to oppose the establishment political machine.

“I haven’t settled on any particular number yet,” he said. “What I do know is I am going to propose a dramatic increase in that threshold.”

“If we have a campaign finance program, it’s going to have to be able to pay for those candidates if they qualify and that’s what this is all about because the qualification levels now to become a minor party are way too low,” Jacobs added, completely unconcerned about pesky little things like the rule of law, political disenfranchisement, and the Oath of Office.

My Op-Ed strongly advised Cuomo to shut this bureaucracy down before he and other concerned interests, such as the left-wing Working Families Party, stop their unlawful measures in the courts.

I concluded with, “Mr. Cuomo should shut down this charade before it becomes even more embarrassing and stop interfering with state Election Law that is the express purview of the duly elected Legislature.”

ISIS LEADER AL-BAGHDADI ‘DIED LIKE A COWARD’ AFTER RAID BY U.S. FORCES

 President Donald Trump celebrated the death of ISIS leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi on Sunday, who blew himself up after his hideout in Syria was raided by U.S. forces.

“He died like a dog, he died like a coward,” Trump told the nation. Trump gave full credit to U.S. Forces who conducted the mission without any casualties.

“No personnel were lost in the operation, while a large number of Baghdadi’s fighters and companions were killed with him,” Trump said, before adding that the U.S. retrieved “highly sensitive” information related to ISIS.

“You are the very best anywhere in the world,” Trump said about the U.S. Forces who apprehended Baghdadi.

While President Trump’s “America First” policy has ISIS on the run, they still maintain their terror operation in a limited capacity. ISIS confirmed that Baghdadi had been killed, but have appointed a new leader to head up their Islamic extremist organization.

“The Shura Council met immediately after confirming the martyrdom of Sheik Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi. The leaders of the Mujahedeen agreed after consultation with their brethren and acting according to the will (of al-Baghdadi) they pledged allegiance to Abu Ibrahim al-Hashimi al-Qurayshi as the new leader of the Believers,” new ISIS spokesman Abu Hamza al-Qurayshi said.

“So, don’t rejoice America for the death of Sheik al-Baghdadi,” the spokesman said. “Don’t you know America that the state (IS) today is at the doorstep of Europe and is in Central Africa? It is also expanding and remaining from east to west.”

While Americans may be happy that Baghdadi is gone, they will not be rejoicing until ISIS is finished for good. President Trump’s policies have helped to destroy the caliphate, but there is much more work that needs to be done before ISIS is wiped off the planet for good.

How pathetic is it that Speaker Pelosi laid the groundwork for a Kangaroo Court?

What happened earlier today in Washington, DC is a really shameful, mindboggling mess.  When I listened to the Speaker of the House, her voice dripping with honey- coated sincerity, wrapping herself  in honoring what America is, describing America as a Democracy while America is a Republic.  In a republic, the U.S. Constitution and Bill of Rights, prohibits the government from limiting or taking away certain “inalienable” rights of the people, even when the government is voted for by a majority of the people. In democracies, those elected have almost limitless power over the minority (think Venezuela).  This explains why Ms. Pelosi believes America is a democracy (trying to convince Americans that she knows best), while we know America as a Republic that places the Constitution and Bill of Rights as laid out by our Founding Fathers to limit the role of government.  Eventually every elected official must and will answer to the people who placed them in office, hopefully it will not be by a kangaroo court.

CUOMO GROSSLY MISLEADING NEWS MEDIA ON PUBLIC FINANCE COMMISSION DISASTER: NEW YORK STATE CONSERVATIVE PARTY

CUOMO GROSSLY MISLEADING NEWS MEDIA ON PUBLIC FINANCE COMMISSION DISASTER: NEW YORK STATE CONSERVATIVE PARTY

 Brooklyn – October 30…“Governor Andrew Cuomo is blatantly misleading the news media and the public in his effort to conceal catastrophic flaws in his Public Campaign Finance Commission, the not-so-thinly-veiled body he created in the 2019 State Budget to exact revenge on political enemies,” New York State Conservative Party Chairman Gerard Kassar today charged.

“His spokesman cited incorrect statute yesterday in an attempt to deflect attention from Cuomo’s most critical Commission error to date: Its members failed to take the required Oath of Office. As a result — under clear State law — any actions the commissioners have taken thus far are nullified. They were not conducted lawfully,” Chairman Kassar said.

The Conservative Party cited clear and long-established State law requiring Public Campaign Finance commissioners to swear an Oath of Office before conducting official state business, which they did not do (below).

Article XIII, Section 1 of the New York State Constitution states that:

Members of the Legislature and all officers, executive and judicial, except such inferior officers as may be by law exempted, shall, before they enter on the duties of their respective offices, take and subscribe the following oath or affirmation: “I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support the Constitution of the United States, and the Constitution of the State of New York, and that I will faithfully discharge the duties of the office of according to the best of my ability.

The Constitutional Article is codified in Public Officers Law Section 10 which states:

Every officer shall take and file the Oath of Office required by law, and every judicial officer of the Unified Court System, in addition, shall file a copy of said oath in the Office of the Court Administration before he shall be entitled to enter upon the discharge of any of his official duties.

Public Officers Law Section 2 defines the term ‘state officer’ which:

…includes every officer for whom all the electors of the State are entitled to vote,

 members of the Legislature, Justices of the Supreme Court, Regents of the

 University, and every officer appointed by one or more state officers, or by the Legislature, and authorized to exercise his official function throughout the entire state, or without limitation to any political subdivision of the State.

Attorney and Erie County Conservative Chairman Ralph Lorigo, who also serves as Conservative Party Vice Chairman elaborated: “Public Officers Law Section 30 provides that the office of a public officer becomes vacant when the public officer refuses or neglects to take and file his or her Oath of Office within 30 days of appointment,” he said.

“The Governor would have you believe that there is an exception codified in Public Officers Law Section 73 for public officers who receive no compensation or are compensated on a per diem basis. Clearly this is not the case. Section 73 only applies to the Ethics Law sections and Disclosure. That is clear when Section 73 starts with the words ‘As used in this Section’, Chairman Lorigo said.

“Governor Cuomo will be admitting his deception,” Mr. Lorigo continued, “if these nine commissioners do, in fact, file an Oath of Office at this late juncture. But even if they do, Section 30 clearly points out that work done previously, and unlawfully, is negated. Attempting to file an Oath of Office, in accordance with the statutes at this late date, would render the commission unable to complete its task within the statute time frame.

“Governor Cuomo should stop with the shenanigans and allow the duly-elected State Legislature to do its job. Only it can create or amend State Election Law,” Mr. Lorigo concluded.

Statement by Conservative Party Chairman Gerard Kassar

October, 29, 2019

Note: New York State Conservative Party Vice Chairman and Erie County Chairman Ralph Lorigo today revealed at a meeting of Governor Andrew Cuomo’s Public Finance Commission in Buffalo that Commission members never took an Oath of Office which is required of them by State Law within 30 days of their appointment (30 days is long past.)  As a result, all previous Commission business is legally impermissible (documentation below.) This is yet another embarrassing blow to Mr. Cuomo’s Commission.

“Andrew Cuomo’s commission to exact revenge on political foes is now officially a disaster. It’s been obvious since the commission was authorized by the state budget that this slapstick assemblage was all about Mr. Cuomo’s political grudges and nothing to do with public policy or sentiment.

Welcome to Chairman Kassar’s Weekly Wrap-Up for Oct. 25, 2019.

THANK YOU FOR ATTENDING OUR ANNUAL FALL EVENT

 Let me begin this week’s wrap up with a very sincere thank you to all who attended our 2019 Fall Reception held last night in Manhattan.  The Conservative Party exists because you make it possible with your financial support.

Those in attendance had the opportunity to hear from a republican rising star: Lt. Gov. Jeannette Nuñez, who gave a rousing speech that certainly invigorated the already energized crowd.  Lt. Gov. Nuñez, whose husband is a native New Yorker, relates to the problems we have with our Mayor being tone deaf, when she recalled how he praised Che Guevara in Miami (a strong hold of Cubans who escaped from the Cuban Revolution) while campaigning for president.  Her genuine warmth and connection with those present explains why her star is rising.

I was especially happy to see Chairman Emeritus Mike Long along with Governor George E. Pataki who also wowed the crowd.  You know he made a difference in New York when two of the bartenders’ present asked to have their picture taken with him.  They were so excited when Gov. Pataki stood with them while many recorded the moment.

Every Conservative Party event is distinct, last night continued the tradition with Lt. Gov. Jeannette Nuñez and Governor George E. Pataki, Chairman Emeritus Mike Long, the many elected officials who traveled from near and far and most of all to those who make it possible for us to continue our work.

 ATTORNEY GENERAL OPENS CRIMINAL INVESTIGATION INTO RUSSIAGATE’S ORIGINS

The hammer might be getting ready to fall on the government officials who have waged a coup against President Donald Trump, as Attorney General William Barr has announced that a criminal investigation regarding the origins of the Russian collusion investigation is underway.

U.S. Attorney John Durham has led the probe into the origins of the Russian collusion investigation, and it was revealed yesterday that the probe has become a criminal investigation. This suggests that evidence has been found that serious wrongdoing was committed by federal officials as they attempted to railroad President Trump and undo the results of the 2016 presidential election.

DOJ Inspector General Michael Horowitz will be releasing a report on the FBI’s surveillance on Trump in the near future that is likely to show evidence of serious criminal acts. Democratic Party leaders, who have promulgated a scandal regarding Trump and Ukraine out of whole cloth in recent weeks, are already crying foul as they worry about the bombshell revelations that may emerge.

“These reports, if true, raise profound new concerns that the Department of Justice under AG Barr has lost its independence and become a vehicle for President Trump’s political revenge,” House Judiciary chairman Jerry Nadler (D-NY) and House Intelligence Committee chairman Adam Schiff (D-CA) said in a joint statement.

“If the Department of Justice may be used as a tool of political retribution, or to help the President with a political narrative for the next election, the rule of law will suffer new and irreparable damage,” they added.

After replacing  Jeff Sessions as Attorney General, Barr is showing what can be accomplished with a man willing to use his power to fight back against institutional corruption.

GOV. CUOMO TAKES A BEATING ON GAS SHORTAGE, ROAD FUNDING WOES

Gov. Andrew Cuomo’s bureaucratic incompetence bubbled to the surface yet again this week, as a gas shortage and road funding woes have put the Democrat’s mismanagement on full display.

N.Y.S. Thruway Authority Executive Director Matthew Driscoll shared the news about a stretch of highway that is in total disrepair in a letter addressed to the Seneca Nation on Monday.

“Work also continues on a detailed engineering design report which I will share with you in the coming weeks, but in the interim, it has become abundantly clear from an engineering perspective that the underlying concrete base is in far worse condition than we had anticipated,” Driscoll explained.

Cuomo, of course, passed the buck and blamed the Seneca Nation for the delays on the N.Y.S Thruway. Unfortunately for New York residents, they will inevitably have to pay higher tolls to pay for Cuomo’s poor leadership.

He also weaved some ridiculous conspiracy theories in a letter addressed to Public Service Commission John Rhodes in order to shift the blame regarding a Long Island natural gas shortage as well.

“The fact that National Grid has consumers in a position whereby National Grid gets what it wants or consumers are punished is unconscionable. A utility does not have license to harm customers because it believes it has an irrevocable franchise and is immune from effective regulatory oversight. I will not allow that situation to continue,” Cuomo wrote.

However, the gas shortage is happening because one of Cuomo’s agencies blocked a key pipeline over phony environmental concerns. Cuomo’s unwillingness to take any accountability for the decisions made under his own regime show why his popularity ratings are beginning to fall among New Yorkers fed up with the aggressive nanny stater.
