Brooklyn, NY – “The fire-bombing of an upstate pregnancy center by pro-abortion extremists on Tuesday is a deeply concerning sign of the times. Americans have had powerful disagreements on issues since the dawn of our republic, and we’ve largely managed to settle them with debate and elections rather than with violence. This incident is a worrisome outlier, and we are hopeful that its perpetrators will be caught and prosecuted under domestic terrorism laws. There is no place for political terrorism in this country.”

STATEMENT FROM NEW YORK STATE CONSERVATIVE PARTY CHAIRMAN GERARD KASSAR ON CONGRESSMAN CHRIS JACOBS

Brooklyn, NY – “The New York State Conservative Party thanks Congressman Chris Jacobs for his long service to the people of New York State. We were perplexed, however, by his recent stance on Second Amendment rights, a position well outside the mainstream of the Republican Party, the Conservative Party, and the voters of NY 23. We agree that it’s the best interest of all three — and of Congressman Jacobs himself — that he forgoes a run for reelection and returns to civilian life. We wish him only the best in his future endeavors.”

Chairman Kassar’s weekly wrap up discusses the after effects of reapportionment, the Legislative Session and Biden’s latest terrible idea.

Reapportionment After Effects

The new maps for Congress and State Senate not only change the political landscape in a

manner that will provide the Conservative Party with fair opportunities for the next ten years, it also created open seats in which candidates are now petitioning, some which will lead to primaries.

New energized candidates filling open seats and the possibility of those primaries are all part of a healthy political process and very much welcome by the Party. It certainly is not what the Democratic Party wanted to happen, but we believe in Democracy not one party control creating less competitive seats around the state, leaving voters with no choices.

We stopped the steal, now we need to fight back on the streets, in the mailboxes, on social media, digital and on the air with TV & radio. This year has become our best opportunity in a very long time to win elections and bring about positive change in New York.

Support the party and our candidates with time and if within your ability, financial support as well.

Albany Wraps Up Session

 The Democrats in the legislature outdid themselves. Name the issue and you will find that they passed some of the worst legislation we have ever seen. Anti-second amendment, pro-abortion, unnecessary and expensive election changes just to name a few of the things that  happened.

Then there is, of course, what did not happen such as pro law enforcement and public safety measures that our endorsed members proposed, as well as common sense measures to reduce the burden of out-of-control inflation that has hit New Yorkers hard at the pump, at the grocery store and while paying their rent.

One area that we did see success was our push back against a sneaky attempt by the Democrats to change the year of local elections without public hearings. We called foul, rightly claiming it was another Democratic effort to silence our voices. Together, with the GOP, our shouts were loud enough and our arguments sound to cause a Democratic retreat from this bad idea.

Biden’s Latest Terrible Idea

Since taking office, the Biden Administration has canceled $25 billion in total of student debt. Just this past week almost $6 billion was added as the Corinthian Colleges fraud was added into the mix. Any one of these former students who took economics 101 knows there is “No Such Thing As A Free Lunch.”  Someone is paying the bill, and that someone is you, the taxpayer.

I certainly acknowledge there is a problem with college costs and for that matter medical costs, or really just about every cost these days. However, the massive forgiving of student debt, even in the case of Corinthian schools in misleading students and parents, cannot be the best answer.

It is unfair to taxpayers and the millions who properly paid back their debt to burden the costs of others, especially now as every aspect of our life continues to get more expensive as wages are not rising fast enough to offset inflation.

STATEMENT FROM NEW YORK STATE CONSERVATIVE PARTY CHAIRMAN GERARD KASSAR IN OPPOSITION TO PROPOSED LEWIS ACT

 

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Bill@NovemberTeam.com
June 2, 2022

Brooklyn, NY – “The proposed John R. Lewis Voting Rights Act in Albany is unnecessary, unmanageable, and overly expensive. The New York State Conservative Party strongly opposes its passage.

“Voting in New York has never been easier or more inclusive. Ballots are printed in multiple languages; early voting takes place for a full 10 days prior to an election, and diverse slates of candidates are elected to public office every year under the current system. There is no need to add new, bureaucratic and redundant layers to a voting process that already works.

“This proposal seeks to resolve a problem that doesn’t exist at enormous cost to taxpayers. It should be added to the growing pile of bad ideas out of Albany.”

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.

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.

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.

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

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.”
