 2022 Legislative Memo

IN OPPOSITION TO…

A10094-A Burdick/S 9039-A Biaggi

A.10372-A Rules (Lavine)/S 9077-Krueger

Party Position:

Each of these proposed bills expand the act of aborting an unborn child.

A. 10094/S. 9039 seeks to grant those who travel to New York state for the purpose of obtaining an abortion the “rights” of a citizen of New York state. Known as the “FIRE HATE” (freedom from interference with reproductive and endocrine health advocacy and travel exercise act). It seeks to circumvent the jurisdiction of Courts outside of the State of New York to restrict their state citizens from traveling to New York to exercise the “rights” provided to New York citizens.

A. 10372-A/S. 9077-A seeks to provide legal protections to abortion providers. Similar to the above, the bill seeks to prohibit courts from cooperating with out-of-state civil and criminal cases that stem from abortions that took place legally within New York state.  It also seeks judicial protections by prohibiting law enforcement from cooperating with any anti-abortion states; investigations regarding abortions that took place legally.  It also prevents extradition of abortion providers.

New York allows abortions through all stages of pregnancy almost up until the birth of an innocent unborn child.  It is incomprehensible to allow abortions to be preformed on out-of-state residents, and certainly to not allow New York’s taxpayers to pay for abortions for out-of-staters.

The Conservative Party of New York State is a pro-life Party that believes an unborn child has a right-to-life.

We strongly oppose these bills and any bills that seeks to end the life of an unborn, innocent child.

Memorial Day 2022

Happy Memorial Day

This Memorial Day, Americans across the country will gather with family and friends for cookouts, parties and parades. All fun and rewarding experiences with those you love most in your life. However, it remains important that we take time to remember what the weekend is really about—celebrating the brave men and women who made the ultimate sacrifice defending our country.

As President Ronald Reagan once quoted freedom is not free. Our veterans are one of the many symbols that make our country great. As we are enjoying our long weekend, keep in mind that every American flag you see flying, flies because of the sacrifice made by the members of our United States Armed Forces both past and present.

Whoopi Goldberg ripped into Republicans after several senators expressed their thoughts and prayers in response to the elementary school shooting in Texas on Tuesday. “Why are we always at square one with this? And I swear to God if I hear another Republican senator talk about their heart being broken, I’m gonna punch somebody. I can’t take any thoughts and prayers,” said Goldberg on Wednesday’s episode of The View.  Has it ever occurred to Ms. Goldberg, that guns are inanimate objects and that it is an individual who controls what it does?  And I wonder if it has ever occurred to Ms. Goldberg that for the last 49 years women (and men) have been extremely vocal about a woman’s right to abortion?  (Including Ms. Goldberg herself, albeit who noted it is a difficult decision to make, at 14 and pre Roe v Wade it really was difficult.  And there are many, many women who have had post Roe v Wade abortions that, to this day, regret having one.) Abortion has become the rallying cry for progressives and some want abortion legal up until birth.  For 49 years our youth has been exposed to women’s demand to take the life of their unborn child…and no one makes the connection that by demanding the right to abortion, one is also saying life has no value.  Society has to examine what it is saying about the value of life.  It isn’t only mass shootings of innocent children in a classroom, or people buying groceries, it is the cold- blooded murder of Daniel Enriquez on the Q Train, Christina Yuna Lee’s brutal murder in her apartment, Kyhara Tay, an 11-year-old Bronx girl killed by a stray bullet while the 15- year-old killer aimed at a 13-year- old boy.  It isn’t only mass shootings, Ms. Goldberg, look at the stats in NYC, Chicago, Los Angeles and almost any other area… and it isn’t only guns; knives are being used more often than ever. And Ms. Goldberg, your language that “I’m gonna punch somebody” only adds to the culture of violence you abhor.  Every single one of us should be making every effort to value every life…those born and those still unborn; maybe then we will see a decline in horrendous, senseless, cold-blooded murders.

2022 Legislative Memo in Opposition to local elections held outside of New York City shall be held on election day in November in even-numbered years.

2022 Legislative Memo

IN OPPOSITION TO…

 S.6197-C Skoufis A. 8560-C Paulin

Purpose:  Provides that all certain local elections held outside of New York City shall be held on election day in November in even-numbered years.

Party Position:  All politics are local is a much-used phrase used in the art of politics.  It is a known fact that local elections are the closest to the population in city, towns and villages, as these elections have a direct impact.  It is the local elections that has an immediate and long-term impact on residents.

This proposed bill seeks to “fix” an issue that isn’t broken.  There is no confusion in the current system of holding certain village, town and other elections in odd-numbered years.  Voter turnout is shaped by issues, for example, people in villages, towns and other election districts, know that their local mayor or town council member has little influence or ability to curb inflation, but can help with a street light on a corner that has far too many accidents.  If a corner needs a street light, there is always a large turnout.

The failed progressive policies put forth by former Governor Cuomo, followed and enhanced by Governor Kathy Hochul and passed by the Democrat-controlled Legislature are being rejected by New Yorkers.

This proposed bill is just another power grab by Governor Kathy Hochul and the Democratic members of the Legislature to maintain their extremely tight grip on all political levels in New York State.

This proposed bill does not address how current office holders are affected and if it becomes law, it would be effective immediately.  It is a poorly written bill that only seeks to seize power with this disparaging and most likely unconstitutional scheme.

Democrats should take political advisor Bert Lance’s advice, “If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it.”

The Conservative Party is strongly opposed to S. 6197-C/A8560-C.

President Biden’s “incredible transition” has been his goal from the very beginning.

President Biden seems to praise high gas prices as ‘incredible transition’ Americans must go through.  We said on day one when he cancelled the Keystone Pipeline this was his plan…he has no concept of the burden he is placing on American citizens, nor does he really care.  Absolutely shameful, that President Biden continues to cater to the far-left progressives in the Democrat Party, while oblivious to the pain that struggling families are facing.

Diana Furchtgott-Roth has this to say in City-Journal:  Fight Inflation with Energy/If President Biden wants to tackle higher prices, he should forget about more tax hikes and instead reverse his policies on domestic oil and natural gas production.

States like New York are trying to create government watchdogs to prevent another radicalized youth from killing those they profess to hate, however, as this article notes, it is not only a state issue, it is international. The US is letting its people be radicalized through social media.  In fact, New York has a Domestic Terrorism Task Force, however, it hasn’t met since it was created two years ago.  But because of the outrageous mass killing in Buffalo, Gov. Hochul is planning on bulking it up now. We need a Governor to take the initiative, not govern with knee-jerk reactions.

STATEMENT FROM NEW YORK STATE CONSERVATIVE PARTY CHAIRMAN GERARD KASSAR ON MURDER OF DANIEL ENRIQUEZ

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Contact: Bill O’Reilly, 212-396-9117
Bill@NovemberTeam.com
May 23, 2022

Brooklyn, NY – “The senseless murder of Daniel Enriquez on a Q Train this weekend — in broad daylight — strikes fear in the hearts of even the most hardened New Yorkers. 

“It’s the latest infuriating example of how far New York City has fallen since the de Blasio Administration and Democrat-led state legislature began dismantling the effective, conservative crime fighting strategies of Governor George Pataki and Mayors Rudy Giuliani and Mike Bloomberg. 

“This is what happens when Broken Windows policing is abandoned; when police presence is reduced; when no-cash-bail is enacted, and when undercover officers are outlawed. This is what happens when criminals are given priority over crime victims. 

“Mayor Eric Adams has pledged to put more police officers on subway platforms and moving trains, but we wonder, frankly, whether he has enough officers at this point to pull that off.  He must lead the effort to return the NYPD to effective personnel levels. 

“We also need to elect a Republican governor this year who can stand up to a State Legislature that’s been infected by the dangerous academic movement called wokeism. It doesn’t work. All wokeism does is give us more crime victims to memorialize. We mourn Mr. Enriquez and his family, and pray that his murder does not go unanswered. The current situation has to change.”

Statement from New York State Conservative Party Chairman Gerard Kassar on Official Redistricting Lines

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Contact: Bill O’Reilly, 212-396-9117
Bill@NovemberTeam.com
May 21, 2022

Brooklyn, NY - “The New York State Conservative Party is pleased that lines have been finalized for 2022 state and federal races. What we wanted — and the courts agreed — was a fair and competitive set of districts that offer voters a real choice in November. With crime rising, inflation skyrocketing, and taxes remaining the highest in the nation, voters must be given viable alternatives at the voting booth.  That’s the foundation of democracy, and we celebrate it today. 

“This is a victory for healthy political competition, and a historic defeat for corrupt, Tammany Hall governance.”

Chairman Kassar’s weekly wrap up discusses the Disinformation Board Disaster, the Death Penalty and Agreeing with Mayor Adams on an issue.

Disinformation Governance Board Folds

What were they thinking? A government board to declare what is the truth sounds very much like something you would find in a communist, socialist or fascist society. Add to the mix, Nina Jankowicz, a lefty given the authority to officially declare what is fact or fiction and you have nothing but a recipe for disaster.

I guess the White House figured out after receiving universal criticism for three weeks that this latest scheme to control the news and the people reporting it wasn’t as popular as they first thought.

The Department of Homeland Security’s newly created and short lived Disinformation Board went on “pause” as the Biden Administration looks for ways to gracefully move on from the disaster that was the board and its Executive Director, Nina Jankowicz. Ms. Jankowicz herself resigned indicating she wanted to pursue new opportunities.

Chalk up another odd failure for the Biden White House.

Death Penalty Needs to be an Option

It was a mistake years ago for the New York Legislature and courts to remove the Death Penalty

as a sentencing option. District Attorneys who represent the public should be able to ask for a

Capital Sentence for certain crimes including terrorism, mass murder and/or the killing of an on duty first responder for example.

The current maximum sentence of life without parole is insufficient for several reasons. The left wing  NYS Legislature and NY Parole Board are constantly looking for ways to reduce the sentences for older convicted murderers. The Parole Board, under control of the Democratic Party, Governor Cuomo and now Governor Hochul, has released numerous convicted cop killers.

Manhattan District Attorney Bragg even issued instructions to his Assistant District Attorneys to never ask for life without parole. If the 18- year-old Buffalo mass murderer was tried in Manhattan, and found guilty, he would likely be eligible for parole by the time he was forty.

Capital Punishment for the most heinous of crimes is the only certain guarantee of keeping these atrocious groups from ever being a future threat. And frankly in a criminal justice system that seems to have forgotten the concept of justice – it is an appropriate sentence.

The Conservative Party has consistently advocated for the return of Capital Punishment.  Our candidate for Governor, Lee Zeldin, has also called for the return of Capital Punishment as a sentencing option. Read Zeldin’s full thoughts on reinstating Capital Punishment here.

Noncitizen Voting Left out of NYC Budget

There has been, and certainly will be many times, that we will not agree with NYC Mayor Eric Adams. On the issue of leaving the $25 million to implement non-citizen voting out of the city budget, we are in total agreement. This is one the Mayor got right.

Of course, the City Council could still inject the money into the budget. And for that matter the request for a summary Judgement declaring the city law unconstitutional scheduled for June 6th, of which I am a plaintiff, will very likely be successful. Regardless, Mayor Adams in failing to fund this program took responsible action to protect taxpayer dollars.

We will always be the first to speak out against policies that hurt taxpaying New Yorker’s, but we will also applaud when our elected officials, regardless of party, get it right. This time Mayor Adams got it right.

Brooklyn, NY - “I’m pleased to learn that Assemblyman Mike Lawler is considering running for congress in New York’s newly drawn 17th congressional district. Should Mike choose to run, he will have my unqualified personal endorsement in the race. 

“This would be an easy decision. Assemblyman Lawler is a solid, common-sense conservative who has won support from Republicans, Democrats, and independents in his current Rockland County district. 

“Mr. Lawler would be able to deliver for New York if and when Republicans win the House in November, and his level-headedness is desperately needed in Washington. He would make a superb member of Congress.”
