Happy Labor Day

In the annals of modern history, few nations can boast about the productivity of its work force more than the United States.

From the mighty creator of the fortress of democracy, to the industrial revolution, the progression of electronics, to cyber technology—the “Made In America” label is what consumers value, and nothing compares to American ingenuity.

Labor Day is about the men and women who made, and continue today, to make American great. From America’s inception to the modern day, New York was built by those who worked hard in pursuit of the American dream for their families. The nearly 2 million members of New York’s Labor Unions continue on that journey today.

We must focus on advancement, not regression. The current President and his administration are more interested in hand outs, not hand ups. They have fostered in a new generation of entitlements and giveaways, not hard work and opportunity. We must return to what made us, as Ronald Reagan said, “the shining city upon a hill.” At our core, we are a people who indeed still value hard work. We must work to foster those same principles to those who are following in our footsteps.

These are the best pollsters, and they are telling you this is ours to lose! Congressional Ballot Tightens, Time for GOP to Play Offense. This is the last summer weekend, and it is time to roll up your sleeves and get to work. Our candidates have been campaigning for months; standing up for all of us who want to keep America and New York with the values – challenging work and not depending on government – that created the greatest nation and the empire state. We work for what we want and don’t depend on government handouts, because what government gives to you and can take from you.  Government does not sell a product – other than letting you believe it has a source of income other than your paycheck- and when government runs out of your money, you will be the loser, not the elected officials who will continue to live like the oligarchs they have become. We need to elect people who understand that our freedom is what made America and New York great, not our dependence on government. We certainly do not need our Governor telling us to move because we dare to disagree with most of her policies; we need a governor firing DA’s that refuse to abide by the oath of office they chose to take. Government officials are not elected so they can become enriched by the system they exploit or use their inside knowledge to enrich themselves, or their spouse.  As of today, November 8, 2022 is 70 days away; we can and will elect our statewide team – For Governor and Lt. Governor Lee Zeldin and Alison Esposito, Paul Rodriguez for Comptroller, Michael Henry for Attorney General and Joe Pinion for US Senate and of course, your local legislators.  (Check with your county chairman to find out who is running.) You earned what you have; don’t let the current government take it and give it to those who think they are entitled to your earnings. And it isn’t only your earnings they want; New York lawmakers seek better tracking of gun purchases.

I ask every American to join me in this cause.” Since your 2021 Inaugural Address you have done little to bring our country together, in fact you are pitting us against each other with all your progressive policies. Tomorrow, you plan to address us again, this time  by going prime time to spotlight fight to protect democracy following jabs at ‘MAGA Republicans’, Mr. President, your words mean absolutely nothing…they are words written by others in the hope that you can hold on to your position and keep the democrats in control.  Fool me once, shame on you; fool me twice shame on me.

Tuesday’s Election Results

 Although the Conservative Party did not have a perfect Election Day, the overall results this past Tuesday were good. Our lone loss in New York 19 was a hotly contested race which saw Marc Molinaro fall just short. Hindered by high turnout due to multiple Democratic primaries, I fully expect a different result in the 19^th District this November that will result in a Molinaro victory.

However, all six of our endorsed candidates running in Republican primaries for Congress won. This is huge news and ushers in a unified Conservative and Republican ticket.

In the 22^nd Congressional District (Onondaga/Madison/Oneida) Conservative Party candidate Brandon Williams overwhelmed Steve Wells, who outspent Williams many times over, and had support out of Washington DC.

In the 17^th Congressional District, Mike Lawler won both the Conservative and Republican primaries that resulted from the twists and turns of the redistricting season.

In the 23^rd Congressional District, Conservative Party candidate for congress Nick Langworthy won a nationally watched primary and is now poised for victory this November.

They join our many other Congressional candidates from all corners of the state that are pushing back against the Biden, Pelosi, and Schumer progressive DC agenda. We would like to congratulate Nick LaLota, Nicole Malliotakis, Claudia Tenney and Andrew Garbarino on their strong victories.

To close out the federal elections, congratulations are in order to Congressman Elect Joe Sempolinski who won the Special Election in the 23^rd District and will be finishing the remainder of the retiring Tom Reed’s term.

Several Assembly candidates moved up to Senate nominations creating vacancies that will be filled for Assembly over the next few weeks. Additionally, a few State Senate primaries saw GOP/Conservative endorsements becoming aligned in two cases, and in one case a registered Conservative winning a Conservative Party primary in the Cayuga/Onondaga area creating a three-way race in November.

The players are now in place for November. The readers of this wrap-up are our first line in a battle that will affect our state and nation. If you are not already involved call our Conservative Party State Headquarters at 718-921-2158 so we can put you in touch with a campaign or party leader.

Hochul Wants You Gone

 “Just jump on a bus and head down to Florida where you belong, OK?” That directly from the mouth of unelected Governor Kathy Hochul to anyone who disagrees with her. These comments came as Hochul stumped in NY-19 for Democrat Pat Ryan who emphatically shook his head in agreement with Hochul.

Strong words from Governor Cuomo’s rubber stamp who is only in the position she is in because the former disgraced Governor couldn’t keep his hands to himself. New York has lost over 1.5 million residents the last decade and now the Governor is telling over 5 million more to get lost. Someone should tell her that New York and her 220 billion dollar budget can’t afford to lose more taxpaying residents to the likes of Florida, Texas, or North Carolina.

New York City residents pay the country’s highest combined state and local income tax rate and now, according to Hochul, your money isn’t even good enough for New York if you consider yourself in any way Conservative.

 Governor Hochul owes millions of New Yorkers a sincere apology. Read my full statement on her comments here.

 Karine Jean-Pierre throws out rough $24B a year estimate for student loan handout plan: ‘We’re going to see’

National Review’s Op-Ed is excellent:  Biden’s Student-Debt Decree Wrong on Every Level.  “To the extent it is possible, the order must be challenged in court and hindered by every legal means available. Republicans have rightly blasted the move, with Senate minority leader Mitch McConnell calling it a “slap in the face to working Americans.” They should devote the time from now to Election Day exposing this grotesque giveaway to voters and reasserting reality: The U.S. president is not an omnipotent genie placed behind the Resolute desk to grant partisan wishes by the stroke of his pen.”

The Foundation for Economic Education (FEE) wrote this in February, 2019:  How Government-Guaranteed Student Loans Killed the American Dream for Millions.  “When government-guaranteed checks keep rolling in, there’s no incentive for colleges and universities to lower their prices. In fact, they do the opposite.”  Government created the mess, and as usual, now they want you to pay for their promising you (or should I say buying your votes with your money) they will take care of you from cradle to grave.

‘You’re not New Yorkers’: Hochul says political rivals like Zeldin ought to move to Florida.  ““We are fighting for democracy. We’re fighting to bring government back to the people and out of the hands of dictators,” Hochul said at a Monday evening rally in Kingston alongside Democratic congressional candidate Pat Ryan, where she called out his Republican opponent, Dutchess County Executive Marc Molinaro, Zeldin and former President Donald Trump.”

Looking at the photos in the NY Post article, I do not see a teleprompter, which leads me to believe that New York’s Governor is speaking from her deeply held beliefs that she is “fighting to bring government back to the people and out of the hands of dictators…” and then went on to say “Trump and Zeldin and Molinaro – just jump on a bus and head down to Florida where you belong. OK? Get out of town. Because you don’t represent our values,” added Hochul, who raised eyebrows last week for a dig against Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis at a Manhattan event commemorating the Holocaust. (As written in that article, Gov. Hochul quickly noted “Getting in trouble – gotta stay on script…”.)

It is interesting how you say that the three gentlemen you singled out to “jump on a bus and head down to Florida,” “don’t represent your values.”

Which values are you referring to, Governor? The ones you used when you chose Brian Benjamin as your Lt. Governor? Perhaps you are referring to the amount of money taxpayers will have to pay for the Buffalo Stadium that potentially could benefit your husband.  Of course, your values include using state aircraft as your personal taxi, refusing to fire DA Bragg, lets not forget that you also refuse to protect merchants, customers, and innocent people by not having a meaningful discussion of the criminal justice reforms that has caused untold hardship on New Yorkers just trying to make a living in New York State.  Your values also include using Executive Orders to prevent New York returning to a sense of normality as COVID lessens it grip on New York. Governor Hochul, your values also include signing a legislative package to “strengthen” the state’s gun laws, which are already among the most restrictive gun laws possible, to further limit our 2^nd Amendment rights.

It is interesting to know that you want to take New York’s government out of the hands of dictators; while all you have done with your words is show what a dictator you are. If New Yorkers do not agree with what you want, if they want to protect innocent lives, especially unborn innocent lives, if they do not want their hard earned money used to build a sports stadium they will never use, if they complain when you use state aircraft as your personal taxi, if they demand an honest discussion on the failed criminal justice reforms, if they are fed up with Executive Orders interfering in their daily lives and understand that placing more restrictions on our 2^nd Amendment only creates a market for more illegal guns on the streets, they are the dictators, Governor?

Look in a mirror, Governor, you are the dictator, and we will end your reign.

Another gem from Bill Hammond writing for the Empire Center as he examines Washington’s newly enacted climate, health and tax package that harbors an only-in-New York glitch: New federal health funding is headed for Essential Plan limbo in New York

Hypocrite! Gov. Hochul blasts district attorneys who ‘undercharge’ perps after NYC sucker-punch. The hypocritical governor must be feeling the heat due to her lack of judgement regarding the criminal justice reforms she has staunchly upheld since taking office a year ago. Her lack of concern for the people of New York cannot be ignored with one presser blasting DA’s; Governor Hochul could have set an example but chose not to by listening to her progressive allies in the legislature.

Sarah Arnold points out in her column on Townhall.com: Woke New York Gov. Signs Bill to Scrap ‘Gendered Language’ that in Democrat-controlled New York, passing a law to better suit liberals who get offended by a word is more important than spending the time to fix the city’s crime problem.

One arrest doesn’t end the ‘open season’ on law-abiding New Yorkers thanks to your laws, Gov. Hochul.

This is a must circulate NY Post editorial to those who are still on the fence as to whom they will vote for on November 8, 2022. Gov. Hochul’s endless weaseling is killing the Empire State. If you are fed up with the failed policies that are the legacy of the democratic party get involved and Save our State.

GOP ad blitz for Steve Wells surges to almost $1M in final days of CNY campaign for Congress “If they weren’t in trouble, they wouldn’t be spending this kind of money at the last minute,” (Tom) Dadey told syracuse.com | The Post-Standard on Sunday. “They’re buying more ads at the 11th hour because they’re panicked.” Read how the Citizen (Auburnoub.com) fact checks the ad about our candidate, Brandon Williams. (Hopefully, it is not behind a pay wall.) A piece of advice for voters: don’t rely only on ads to make your choice; it would be in ones’ best interest to question all ads running about all candidates; contact the campaign and the candidate to know whom you are voting for. Attend/watch debates. Stop by their campaign office.  Read the local papers, talk to your neighbors. Get involved in the race, after all the candidate is elected by you to represent what you would do if you were elected.
