Brooklyn, NY – “Congressman Lee Zeldin’s clear victory tonight gives him a tremendous head of steam leading into November’s general election. With the Republican and Conservative parties united behind Lee, we’re well on our way toward retiring Governor Kathy Hochul and her failed ‘woke’ progressivism.

“The Conservative Party was the first to support Congressman Zeldin for governor, and we will continue campaigning with him in every corner of New York State. Change is long overdue in New York, and tonight’s win is the first step toward a larger victory in November.”

Why did Joe Biden have the need to tell his son “I think you’re clear.”

PRIMARY DAY:  POLLS ARE OPEN UNTIL 9:00 PM. 
HAVE YOU VOTED YET?

NY Post editorial:  Today is the last day for New Yorkers to cast their vote in the primary election for governor — and the last chance for Republicans to choose someone who’ll finally put a stop to the state’s dizzying decline.  If Republicans want to save New York, they should be sure to vote for Lee Zeldin for governor.  There is no Conservative Party Primary as Lee Zeldin is the Conservative Party’s candidate.  Get your Republican friends out to vote for the only candidate who has the knowledge, experience and backbone to Save our State.

Justices’ Home Addresses Blasted on Social Media With Zero Consequences.

Last week ended on a great note for those of us who cherish our US Constitution and the rule of law.  For almost 50 years, the Conservative Party, worked to have the decision that granted women the right to abort their babies reversed as we believed there was nothing in the US Constitution that mentioned, let alone allowed, an abortion.  Six US Justices agreed on Friday!  What saddens me personally is the women marching in the streets with hangers…are they that out of touch with the real world?  They shout out, my body, my right…yes you control your body; perhaps a little more controlling of your body would prevent your conceiving another totally separate body who has a right to life.  In 2022, there is absolutely no reason for a woman to become pregnant, unless they are too irresponsible to prevent it knowing they can abort a precious unborn life.

Six Supreme Court Justices also acknowledged, last week, that New York’s archaic concealed weapons was also not supportive of our US Constitution; another common-sense decision by those who acknowledge that the US Constitution was written by men who valued the lives of those who were forming a government like no other:  one that guaranteed its people life, liberty and freedom, and made its people responsible for maintaining their vision and values.

Lately, too many of the descendants of the visionaries who wrote our Constitution, are failing to understand the responsibilities it bestows on us.  They throw temper tantrums when reminded we are a Republic and we solve our differences at the polls; not by destroying property, threatening those who they do not agree with or refusing to debate ideas as an adult. Our Founding Fathers believed that government exists to perform only those services that the people cannot provide for themselves; my how that has changed with progressives at the helm.  But we can, and must, reverse course beginning right now.  Tomorrow is primary day in NYS.  Republicans (and Democrats) have a choice; Conservatives already cast their lot with the Zeldin/Esposito ticket (we are urging Republicans to do the same) because they understand the role of government.

New York preparing to roll out welcome mat for out-of-state abortion seekers.  “State Attorney General Letitia James promised last month to set aside $50 million to help women seeking abortions. Part of those funds will be used for women arriving in New York from other states where the procedures are illegal. ´ “Mayor Eric Adams welcomed women seeking abortions to New York City, where the city has budgeted $250,000 a year for abortions since 2019.”  “On Friday, after the decision was announced, Gov. Kathy Hochul declared the state “a safe harbor” for women seeking abortions. Hochul announced an advertising campaign and new additions to a website that would help women in New York and throughout the country obtain information about abortions.”  “This is repulsive at every level,” Hochul said. New York has no income other than the taxes people pay; payroll taxes, sales taxes, real estate taxes, gasoline taxes, and a myriad of other taxes.  New York’s government is making you pay for people to come to New York to have an abortion, if their home state has chosen to save the innocent unborn life.  Is this what you want your tax dollars to pay for?  The current administration obviously wants to make New York the abortion capitol of the United States, but we should be able to prevent our hard-earned dollars from being used.   What if the company they work for is paying for their travel etc., will any effort be made to prevent “double-dipping” or will this just be another government boondoggle that rips taxpayers’ money from their wallets?

Gov. Hochul calls for Extraordinary Session to thwart the US Supreme Court’s decision on NY’s concealed weapon ruling.  The Democrats who control New York stuck their collective thumb in the eyes of their constituents, when the redistricting process refused to adhere to the NY Constitution after voters chose to have an Independent Body draw the new legislative lines.  On Thursday, Gov. Hochul and her cohorts plan on passing legislation to override the Supreme Court 6-3 decision on what is now the unconstitutional concealed weapon ban in New York state.   The one-party rule in New York State proves Lord Acton’s famous quote is correct: “Power tends to corrupt and absolute power corrupts absolutely.” How busy could New York lawmakers get responding to court rulings?

Today is only Monday and New Yorkers have two cases that are a win for the Conservative Cause.  Supreme Court Lets High-School Football Coach Kneel in Prayer.  Religious freedom continues to ring loudly!  Like last week, the same three Justices were dissenter’s:  Justices Breyer, Kagan, and Sotomayer.

The other win New Yorkers had in court is also a huge win for our republic:  New York judge rules law allowing non-citizens to vote is unconstitutional. Passed by the NY City Council last December, but not signed into law by either former Mayor de Blasio or current Mayor Adams, it would have allowed up to 1 million non-citizens the right to vote in NYC elections.  “The city’s law department, which could challenge the ruling in a higher state court, said the city was evaluating its options.”  As the Judge noted in his decision, “the law violated the state constitution, which says that “[e]very citizen” is entitled to vote.” Read Chairman Kassar’s statement here.

June 27, 2022

Brooklyn, NY – “As a plaintiff in this case, and as Chairman of the New York State Conservative Party, I congratulate the New York State Supreme Court on today’s wise decision. Voting in this country is a right logically reserved for citizens.

“This decision puts a check on a radical New York City Council that had hoped to establish a precedent for non-citizen voting across New York State. Such an action would have undermined the power of citizens to elect representatives of their choosing.

“In its decision, the Court applied common sense, something New York progressive Democrats have long forgotten how to use. This is a major victory for New York voters of all parties. It’s a victory for reason over a woke ideology that is damaging our state.”

Chairman Kassar’s weekly wrap up discusses Roe v Wade Overturned, Wednesday’s event with Mike Pence, Tuesday is the first vote for Lee Zeldin Day and SCOTUS strikes down NY’s Archaic Concealed Carry Gun Law.

Roe v. Wade Overturned!

“Roe v. Wade was a constitutionally flawed decision that never should have been issued.”  And today it was overturned.  The Conservative Party has been seeking this decision since the day it became the law, January 22, 1973.  We applaud Justice Alito, Chief Justice Roberts, Justice Thomas, Justice Gorsuch, Justice Kavanaugh and Justice Coney Barrett who upheld the United States Constitution with today’s historic decision.  Read my full statement here.

Former VP Pence Wows Conservative Party

Former Vice-President Mike Pence returned to a Conservative Party event on Wednesday evening and the crowed room responded to his remarks with thunderous applause, especially when he restated his strong support for the next Governor of New York State, Lee Zeldin.  Mr. Pence reminded those in the room how America, under the Biden Administration, has lost some of her standing in the free world, due to the erroneous mistakes of the current administration from our embarrassing exodus from Afghanistan to the disastrous flooding of ill-legal immigrants on our southern border and record high inflation.  His remarks stressed the importance of taking back the House and Senate in the upcoming November elections in an effort to end the progressive hold on the White House and noted that it is up to the voters across our great nation that only they can retake control in November and reminded us that while endorsements, editorial support and social media are all important for candidates, the most important conveyor of support is word of mouth…so call, text or email your family and let them know who you support.  Thank you for all you do to support the Conservative Party of New York State.

Tuesday, June 28 is Primary Day

The first step in Saving our State begins on Tuesday, when Republicans vote for Lee Zeldin in the Republican Primary.  (The Conservative Party does not have a primary and is proud to support Lee Zeldin, Allison Esposito, Lt. Gov. candidate, Michael Henry for Attorney General, Paul Rodriquez for NYS Comptroller and Joe Pinion for US Senate.) It is important that you use Mr. Pence’s advice about word of mouth being the best way to show support for Lee Zeldin.  A united Republican-Conservative candidate is the best chance of defeating the progressive hold the current administration has on New Yorkers.  Lee Zeldin will fire DA Alvin Bragg on day one and has committed to making New York safe again.  The New York Post editorial of June 16, 2022 said it best:  Lee Zeldin is the best bet for governor to save New York.  Take the first step on Tuesday to help make this happen.

SCOTUS Strikes Down NY’s Archaic Concealed Carry Gun Law

The National Review writes that “the Supreme Court on Thursday ruled that New York’s “proper-cause” requirement to obtain a concealed-carry license is unconstitutional as it violates ordinary citizens’ Second Amendment rights.”  The 6-3 decision was written by Justice Clarence Thomas who used the 2nd and 14th Amendments and the decision in District of Columbia vs Heller as a basis to reject New York’s 1913 law that limited carrying concealed guns outside the home.  Justice Thomas noted “We know of no other constitutional right that an individual may exercise only after demonstrating to government officers some special need.”  Kudos to Justice Thomas, Chief Justice Roberts, Justice Alito, Justice Gorsuch, Justice Kavanaugh and Justice Coney Barrett.  You can read my statement here.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

June 24, 2022

Brooklyn. NY – “Roe v. Wade was a constitutionally flawed decision that never should have been issued. Scholars have known that for decades. Today’s Supreme Court ruling simply returns abortion laws to state’s, which always should have maintained purview over this issue.

“Today’s decision is a great victory for those who value unborn life. It’s been 50 years in the making, and the New York State Conservative Party could not be more pleased.”

###

Just how much would the federal gas tax holiday actually save you?

President Biden’s Nobel Peace Prize?

The Conservative Party has for years been disappointed in some of the SOTUS decision that were based more on judicial activism than on what the US Constitution actually stated.  This week, we are pleased that the two decisions released were actually based on our US Constitution.  We have noted many times that elections have consequences, some right and some not so right, however the election of Donald J. Trump in 2016 was good for this still young nation, in that his appointments of Neil Gorsuch, Brett Kavanaugh, and Amy Coney Barrett to the Supreme Court seem to be returning SCOTUS to interpreting the US Constitution to what was written, not what progressive justices want it to be.

The Supreme Court Stands Up For the Right to Self-Defense.

Biden ‘deeply disappointed’ with Supreme Court gun ruling: ‘Lives are on the line’.  I wonder if he ever considers how many lives have been saved by responsible people with their own guns protecting innocent people from out-of-control madmen or their own lives?

Another 6-3 decision handed down today:  Supreme Court rules out suing police for Miranda violations.  Of course, the same Justices voted it down as they did in the other decisions of this week, Justice’s Breyer, Sotomayor and Elena Kagan.

On Eve of Roe v. Wade Reversal, Poll Shows Americans Want to Protect Unborn.

Joe Biden lowering gas prices is as likely as a purple cow on the moon.

Gas prices have gone up about $3.00 per gallon since Joe Biden became president, so, how does saving $0.18 per gallon help?  The answer is:  it doesn’t really help much.  Let’s look at the math:  an average small car holds about 12 gallons, to fill it when the average price is $5.01 (today’s date 06/23/22) I will cost $60.12 if Biden gets his “gas tax holiday” of 18 cents off, it will cost you $57.96 a savings of $2.16.  A gallon of milk costs, on average, $3.31; one is $1.15 short for a gallon of milk.   Not a lot of savings for the consumer, but would be a huge loss to the federal government’s Highway Trust Fund, the major source of federal funding for highways, roads and bridges, leaving a gap in funding.  What will happen then?  Print more money?  Diesel gas creates the same problems in addition to driving up the cost of delivering the goods needed in stores.  The plan doesn’t seem to have the support it needs:  Gas tax holiday likely to land on empty amid Democratic opposition.

Brooklyn, NY – “Today’s Supreme Court decision is a step in the right direction for millions of Americans who’ve been arbitrarily denied their Constitutional right to self-protection for decades. This ruling will give law-abiding New Yorkers the option of protecting themselves with a firearm in a state with significant crime issues. Violent criminals have never hesitated to carry guns illegally obtained. Maybe they’ll think twice now before committing additional crimes.”

Brooklyn, NY – “Government religious discrimination, which for decades has denied school funding to students attending parochial, yeshivas, and other non-public schools, is just that — government sanctioned religious discrimination. Today’s long overdue 6-3 Supreme Court decision finally makes right an egregious wrong that has prevented countless lower-income students from getting the education they need to compete in the 21st Century. That will now thankfully change. The Conservative Party loudly applauds today’s decision.”

Chairman Kassar’s weekly wrap up discusses the GOP gubernatorial debate, big night for conservatives and Feds raising the interest rate. 

GOP Gubernatorial Debate

The four GOP candidates for Governor faced off in a televised debate earlier this week in which

there was a clear winner – our endorsed candidate Lee Zeldin. The other candidates on stage used their time to attack the front runner looking for their moment to shine, which Lee never gave.

With Primary Day less than two weeks away, and early voting beginning this weekend (June 18,) most credible polls show Zeldin with a solid lead but nothing can be taken for granted. If you are a Republican make a plan to vote. If you are a Conservative Party member speak with your Republican friends. Lee Zeldin provides us with the best opportunity to win in November. We cannot afford to gift Governor Hochul with an opponent who is not ready for primetime.

If you would like a Zeldin lawn sign, feel free to contact the Conservative Party at 718-921-2158 or the Zeldin campaign.

Big Night for Conservatives

The many solid conservative GOP candidates who won their primaries for Congress this past

week continues to set the stage for a successful midterm in which the Republicans appear ready to take what could be a significant majority in the United States House of Representatives.

In a political earthquake, Mayra Flores won the special election in Texas’s 34th Congressional District, a district Joe Biden won by 13% less than 2 years ago. This is a significant win as a Republican hasn’t represented this section of the Rio Grande Valley in over 100 years.

Right here in New York we have two upcoming Special Elections that are both rated “Lean Republican” one seat most recently represented by a Democrat. This is further indication that the climate that Democrats are heading into November is not friendly. This should come as no surprise as inflation is crippling middle class families all over the country as they struggle to buy groceries, gas, and pay bills.

Feds Raise Interest Rates

 Imagine your car is racing down a hill when you apply the break and nothing happens. Your next move is to hit the emergency break, but you only begin to slowdown. At that point you need to depend on your skills of navigating to safely reach the bottom.

Think of America, the Biden Administration and the Federal Reserve. Inflation is actually picking

up steam and traditional methods of slowing it down have been mostly ineffective. Additionally, rate increases resulting in tighter money often have their own built-in downside. For some time, it has been apparent that a variety of failed Biden policies ranging from supply chain inadequacies to energy policies, foreign trade and even war spending have had a major negative impact on inflation.

The Federal Reserve will not solve the problem of inflation. The Biden Administration must and they are failing miserably.
