Natural disasters, like the horrific damage, we are witnessing in America’s heartland are heart wrenching to those who see the videos and photos; what the people who have survived are living through is almost unbearable.  To make it a political statement is unforgivable.   Good advice:  Don’t buy the pseudo-scientific hype about tornadoes and climate change.  “Equally important, the standard anti-warming agenda would do far more damage to humanity than all natural disasters put together — by impoverishing us all. We simply don’t yet have practical, affordable alternatives to fossil fuels (which, by the way, are still what produce most of the electricity for your Tesla).”

Chairman Kassar’s weekly wrap up discusses AG James dropping out of governor’s race, NYC allowing non-citizens to vote and CPPAC is back in 2022!

James Leaves Race for Governor

After only a few short weeks Attorney General Leticia James has bowed out of the race for Governor and announced her intentions to run for re-election as Attorney General. A surprising move as James was once considered to be the front runner.

Some will say James’ exit benefits Governor Hochul, others say it will unify the growing progressive socialist wing within the Democratic Party.  The Working Family Party’s candidate, far left New York City Public Advocate Jumaane Williams, is sure to benefit from James leaving the race. Though James has endorsed Governor Hochul, the Democratic primary is shaping up to be a battle between dangerous ideologies.

Regardless of who James’ departure benefits the most, it remains crystal clear New York needs a reset and common sense leadership. The Conservative Party continues to support the only candidate that can return sanity back to New York State and that is Lee Zeldin.

New York City Council Passes Non-Citizen Voting

The NYC Council has passed an amendment to the NYC Charter that will allow several hundred thousand green card holders and other legal non-citizens to vote in city municipal elections.

The Conservative Party continues to believe the move is unconstitutional and we will be joining in on a major lawsuit to overturn the city’s action.

Non-citizens voting should be a concern for New Yorker’s statewide and beyond. If non-citizen voting is allowed to stand it will be a precedent and empower other localities around the state to pass the same change.

It is unconscionable that the NYC Council would devalue the vote of American citizens, one of our most sacred rights as Americans. We will continue to update you as we proceed with our legal actions.

Conservative Political Action – CPPAC – Meeting

After being forced to skip our 2021 conference due to Covid restrictions, we will be holding our annual Conservative Political Action Conference in Albany on Sunday, January 30th and Monday, January 31st at the Holiday Inn in Latham (400 Old Loudon Rd, Latham, NY 12110).

We are in the process of formulating the agenda and strongly urge you to hold the date. There will be numerous panels that will include speakers from the media, state politics, government, and issue oriented organizations.

There will be a Monday lunch with a key note speaker and an evening awards reception with our State Legislators at which time we will release our legislative agenda.

Mark your calendars – January 30 and 31, 2022 – and join us for an exciting two days talking about our recent success and where we plan on going from there. More details to follow!

Good news for New York City residents; your megalomaniac mayor has only 26 days left in his term.

The NY Sun pays tribute to the late Senator Robert Dole, and the National Review also writes about his passing at age 98. If you watch the moment that he stood at George H. W. Bush’s public viewing in the Capitol you will get a sense of his patriotism and inner strength. That moment explains so much about Bob Dole the man, the man who gave so much for his country. He was part of the greatest generation, a man who witnessed the horrors of World War II and came home seriously wounded, yet, or maybe due to what he saw and experienced, became a man who crossed the aisle, who listened and who was able to achieve great things for America. The “Squad” should take note. I seriously doubt that one of them has 1% of Bob Dole’s love of America, all America stands for and what he sacrificed to keep America the greatest country ever created by men. As we Tweeted yesterday; Job well done, now you can rest in peace, Senator Dole.

Chairman Kassar’s weekly wrap up discusses voting rights for non-citizens, final results and the Supreme Court listened.

Voting Rights for Non-Citizens

It should come as no surprise that on top of the Democrats Christmas wish list sits voting rights for more than 800,000 non-citizens.

The far-left leaning New York City Council is set to vote within the next week on legislation that would allow non-citizens to register and vote in municipal elections. This news comes on the heals of Republican and Conservative success in the city that saw the Council Republican Conference double in size and successfully fought back Democratic power grab ballot propositions pushed hard by the left.

Democrats, sensing their socialist, anti-police, anti-public safety, tax heavy agenda is starting to annoy voters; they therefore are looking to do away with all election integrity. Furthermore, they are showing complete disregard to one of the most sacred fundamental rights of Americans citizens—the right to vote.

The Conservative Party will take every step necessary to see that votes are cast by legal New York residents only. This may very well include joining lawsuits with others interested in protecting our elections; make no mistake we fill fight every step of the way.

Final Results

After all absentee votes were counted, the certified election results show the defeat of the three propositions by large majorities. So, what does the ultra-left Democrat controlled state legislature do? They introduce bills to overcome their defeat at the polls and will next plan to push failed ballot propositions voted down by the people of New York through legislation in which only legislators can vote.

These efforts by state Democrats are dirty, disingenuous and shows utter lack of respect for the will of the people who made their voices heard on November 2.

We should be worried about the steps the far-left New York State Democrats will take in order to force their agenda through. A bi-partisan majority voted down three ballot propositions and now a partisan legislature looks to undo the votes of Conservatives, Republicans, Democrats, and blanks alike.

Remember, these state legislators will have their names on the ballot again. It is imperative we don’t forget how quickly those who supposedly “represent” us discarded our vote the constitutional amendments and are working to undermine the democratic process all because they didn’t get their way.

Supreme Court Listened

It has been many years in the making, but our day in court has finally come and I am very hopeful that we will win an important battle—a victory for life.

As we wait on the Supreme Court to rule on a case challenging the constitutionality of Mississippi Gestational Age Act, a case that could have major implications for Roe V. Wade, including outright reversal.

A majority of the arguments focused on whether the court’s decisions in Roe v. Wade and Planned Parenthood v. Casey should be overruled. These precedents are on the line and hold such importance because the court decided in both cases that any abortion ban prior to “viability,” (means when the unborn child can potentially live outside the womb,) is unconstitutional. The Mississippi ban draws the line well before viability, generally understood to be at around 24 weeks.

I eagerly wait for a ruling supporting our most vulnerable and protects the sanctity of life.

Statement from New York State Conservative Party Chairman Gerard Kassar on Gov. Hochul’s Politicization of Redistricting Process

November 26, 2021
Statement from New York State Conservative Party Chairman Gerard Kassar on  Gov. Hochul’s Politicization of Redistricting Process

Brooklyn, NY – “As millions of New Yorkers prepared for the Thanksgiving holiday Wednesday afternoon, Governor Kathy Hochul surreptitiously signed into law legislation that would overrule the will of New York voters by giving the Democrat-led State Legislature complete control over New York’s redistricting process.

“New York voters overwhelmingly rejected a November ballot initiative that would have gutted independent redistricting; now Governor Hochul is attempting to subvert their wishes. The New York State Conservative Party will not allow Governor Hochul’s blatant politicization of redistricting to stand.

“One hopes that her machinations will be vigorously reported in the news media and criticized by good government organizations. Had a Republican governor tried to pull this off, one suspects it would be bigger news by now.”

By the First President of the United States of America, a Proclamation.

Whereas it is the duty of all Nations to acknowledge the providence of Almighty God, to obey his will, to be grateful for his benefits, and humbly to implore his protection and favor– and whereas both Houses of Congress have by their joint Committee requested me to recommend to the People of the United States a day of public thanksgiving and prayer to be observed by acknowledging with grateful hearts the many signal favors of Almighty God especially by affording them an opportunity peaceably to establish a form of government for their safety and happiness.

Now therefore I do recommend and assign Thursday the 26th day of November next to be devoted by the People of these States to the service of that great and glorious Being, who is the beneficent Author of all the good that was, that is, or that will be– That we may then all unite in rendering unto him our sincere and humble thanks–for his kind care and protection of the People of this Country previous to their becoming a Nation–for the signal and manifold mercies, and the favorable interpositions of his Providence which we experienced in the course and conclusion of the late war–for the great degree of tranquility, union, and plenty, which we have since enjoyed–for the peaceable and rational manner, in which we have been enabled to establish constitutions of government for our safety and happiness, and particularly the national One now lately instituted–for the civil and religious liberty with which we are blessed; and the means we have of acquiring and diffusing useful knowledge; and in general for all the great and various favors which he hath been pleased to confer upon us.

And also that we may then unite in most humbly offering our prayers and supplications to the great Lord and Ruler of Nations and beseech him to pardon our national and other transgressions– to enable us all, whether in public or private stations, to perform our several and relative duties properly and punctually–to render our national government a blessing to all the people, by constantly being a Government of wise, just, and constitutional laws, discreetly and faithfully executed and obeyed–to protect and guide all Sovereigns and Nations (especially such as have shewn kindness unto us) and to bless them with good government, peace, and concord–To promote the knowledge and practice of true religion and virtue, and the encrease of science among them and us–and generally to grant unto all Mankind such a degree of temporal prosperity as He alone knows to be best.

Given under my hand at the City of New York the third day of October in the year of our Lord 1789.

George Washington

Washington issued a proclamation on October 3, 1789, designating Thursday, November 26 as a national day of thanks. In his proclamation, Washington declared that the necessity for such a day sprung from the Almighty’s care of Americans prior to the Revolution, assistance to them in achieving independence, and help in establishing the constitutional government.

If only our current president would publicly acknowledge the same.

The Conservative Party of New York State wish all Americans a blessed, happy and safe Thanksgiving Holiday.

New York City Council Moves to Allow 800,000 Non-Citizens to Vote in Municipal Elections. The right to vote is guaranteed by our US Constitution in the 15th Amendment. The right of citizens of the United States to vote shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any State on account of race, color, or previous condition of servitude– so please explain this to me:  the New York City Council will vote on December 9 on a law to allow green-card holders and residents with work permits to vote in municipal elections. Members of the NYC Council who take the following oath “I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I am duly qualified, according to the constitution of this state, to exercise the duties of the office to which I have been elected and that I will, to the best of my ability, discharge the duties thereof, and preserve, protect, and defend the Constitution of this state and of the United StatesHow do the NYC Council Members justify the fact that they will grant non-citizens the right to vote when the US Constitution grants citizens – not green-card holders and residents with work permits — the right to vote? The leader of the free world ignores laws he doesn’t like; the duly elected members of the NYC Council, want to grant non-citizens the right to vote, progressive DA’s know their low or no cash bail will lead to “going to go out and kill somebody” and people wonder why stores are looted, gang violence is rampart while the suicide rate and drug abuse is ever increasing?  When our leaders choose to ignore (or do not have) a moral compass, the result is the turmoil America is undergoing now. It is up to us to end this mayhem and save our country before America self-implodes.
