Chairman Kassar’s weekly wrap-up discusses Non-Citizen Voter Law Suit, the Supreme Court Split Mandate Decision, our Petition to Remove Manhattan DA Alvin Bragg and an update on the 54th Annual CPPAC.

Non-Citizen Voter Law Suit

I have joined a lawsuit brought by New York Republicans against the City of New York in an attempt to block their new law that gives voting rights to 800,000 non-residents. I am a plaintiff as both a resident of Kings County and Chairman of the State Conservative Party.

This outrageous new law is almost certainly unconstitutional, and it cannot stand. Voting in modern America is properly reserved for U.S. citizens — and U.S citizens alone — and attempts by the Democrat Party to erase all distinctions between citizen and non-citizen are dangerous and wrong.

One almost misses the days when the City Council was simply an object of humor: (Q. What’s the difference between the New York City Council and a rubber stamp? A. A rubber stamp leaves an impression.)

There’s nothing funny, whatsoever, about the City Council now. Its radicalism knows no bounds.

Supreme Court Split Mandate Decision

The Supreme Court of the United States ruled Thursday blocking the Biden administration from mandating vaccines for large employers, but allowing a separate rule that applies to health care workers who work at facilities that receive federal funding.

While we are in complete agreement that the federal government does not have the right to impose mandates on private businesses with over 100 employees, their ruling that the right to mandate vaccinations on healthcare workers and federal employees is upsetting and certainly does not make those impositions the right thing to do.

The ruling falls short of resolving local business mandates which will continue to hurt small businesses and those whom they employ.

Petition to Remove Manhattan DA Alvin Bragg

 Newly elected Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg released his “Day One’ memo in which he instructs his staff not to prosecute serious crimes, including armed robbery.

The Conservative Party, through a petition that we hope to obtain thousands of signatures on, is calling on Governor Hochul to use her constitutional authority to remove DA Bragg for malfeasance in office.

Bragg’s memo detailed the following instructions for prosecutors to reduce charges filed by cops in various cases:

Armed robbers who use guns or other deadly weapons to stick up stores and other businesses will be prosecuted only for petty larceny, a misdemeanor, provided no victims were seriously injured and there’s no “genuine risk of physical harm” to anyone. Armed robbery, a class B felony, would typically be punishable by a maximum of 25 years in prison, while petty larceny subjects offenders to up to 364 days in jail and a $1,000 fine.

Convicted criminals caught with weapons other than guns will have those felony charges downgraded to misdemeanors unless they’re also charged with more serious offenses. Criminal possession of a weapon in the third degree, a class D felony, is punishable by up to 7 years behind bars.

Burglars who steal from residential storage areas, parts of homes that aren’t “accessible to a living area” and businesses located in mixed-use buildings will be prosecuted for a low-level class D felony that only covers break-ins instead of for more serious crimes. Those more serious crimes, class B and class C felonies would be punishable by up to 25 and up to 15 years in prison respectively.

Drug dealers believed to be “acting as a low-level agent of a seller” will be prosecuted only for misdemeanor possession. Also, suspected dealers will only be prosecuted on felony charges if they’re also accused of more serious crimes or are actually caught in the act of selling drugs. That felony would mean facing up to seven years behind bars.

CONSERVATIVE PARTY PETITION CALLS ON GOVERNOR HOCHUL TO REMOVE MANHATTAN DISTRICT ATTORNEY ALVIN BRAGG

CONSERVATIVE PARTY PETITION CALLS ON GOVERNOR HOCHUL TO REMOVE MANHATTAN DISTRICT ATTORNEY ALVIN BRAGG  

“If Governor Hochul allows Mr. Bragg to remain district attorney, she’ll be signing the death warrant of an untold number of New Yorkers. Firing him could be the most important act she makes as governor of this state.”

Brooklyn, NY – Jan. 14, 2022 The New York State Conservative Party today released an online petition calling on Governor Kathy Hochul to remove newly elected New York County District Attorney Alvin Bragg from office, which she has the power to do. D.A. Bragg recently announced that he would not seek prison sentences for dozens of serious crimes, sparking immediate public outrage.

Governor Hochul has failed to take any action thus far about Mr. Bragg’s refusal to properly enforce the law.

“The Conservative Party is the party of common sense in New York, and common sense is needed more than ever in this case,” said Conservative Party Chairman Gerard Kassar. “We have a renegade district attorney on our hands, and he must be removed from office. We urge New Yorkers to sign our petition to Governor Hochul, because — guaranteed — people are going to die because of Mr. Bragg’s wild ideological policy decision.”

In his first memo to staff on Monday, January 3rd, Mr. Bragg said his office “will not seek a carceral sentence” except with homicides and a handful of other cases, including domestic violence felonies, some sex crimes, and public corruption.

Bragg’s memo detailed the following instructions for prosecutors to reduce charges filed by cops in various cases:

  • Armed robbers who use guns or other deadly weapons to stick up stores and other businesses will be prosecuted only for petty larceny, a misdemeanor, provided no victims were seriously injured and there’s no “genuine risk of physical harm” to anyone. Armed robbery, a class B felony, would typically be punishable by a maximum of 25 years in prison, while petty larceny subjects offenders to up to 364 days in jail and a $1,000 fine.
  • Convicted criminals caught with weapons other than guns will have those felony charges downgraded to misdemeanors unless they’re also charged with more serious offenses. Criminal possession of a weapon in the third degree, a class D felony, is punishable by up to 7 years behind bars.
  • Burglars who steal from residential storage areas, parts of homes that aren’t “accessible to a living area” and businesses located in mixed-use buildings will be prosecuted for a low-level class D felony that only covers break-ins instead of for more serious crimes. Those more serious crimes, class B and class C felonies would be punishable by up to 25 and up to 15 years in prison respectively.
  • Drug dealers believed to be “acting as a low-level agent of a seller” will be prosecuted only for misdemeanor possession. Also, suspected dealers will only be prosecuted on felony charges if they’re also accused of more serious crimes or are actually caught in the act of selling drugs. That felony would mean facing up to seven years behind bars.

Mr. Bragg continued: “ADAs should use their judgment and experience to evaluate the person arrested, and identify people: who suffer from mental illness; who are unhoused; who commit crimes of poverty; or who suffer from substance use disorders. Charges should be brought consistent with the goal of providing services to such individuals, and leverage during plea negotiations should not be a factor in this decision,” he wrote.

“If Governor Hochul allows Mr. Bragg to remain district attorney, she’ll be signing the death warrant of an untold number of New Yorkers. Firing him could be the most important act she makes as governor of this state,” Mr. Kassar said.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

January 10, 2022

Brooklyn, NY – “I’m proud to join with Republican officials in signing onto litigation to prevent voting by up to 800,000 non-U.S.-citizens in future New York City municipal elections.

“This outrageous new law is almost certainly unconstitutional, and it cannot stand. Voting in modern America is properly reserved for U.S. citizens — and U.S citizens alone — and attempts by the Democrat Party to erase all distinctions between citizen and non-citizen are dangerous and wrong.

“One almost misses the days when the City Council was simply an object of humor: (Q. What’s the difference between the New York City Council and a rubber stamp? A. A rubber stamp leaves an impression.)

Biden, Adams and Bragg are choosing to make America paltry with their progressive plans.

We are blessed by having heroes working in the New York Fire Department.  Thank you for your heroic efforts every day, especially this past Sunday.

Most voters believe American society and culture declining, poll says.

This is one of the reasons why people believe society is declining:  DA Alvin Bragg is inviting a criminal free-for-all to Manhattan.

The NY Post editorial writes:  Alvin Bragg shouldn’t be shocked over anger on his let-’em-loose approach to crime.

From the City-Journal:  Nothing to Bragg About.

This the first major disappoint Mayor Eric Adams delivered to the people of New York City Mayor Adams ran on cleaning up NYC, yet he just caved to the progressive movement that has caused many problems in the city.  While he didn’t actually sign the bill allowing non-citizens the right to vote, he did allow it to become law after he voiced concerns about the bill just 5 days prior: “But for a person that’s here for only 30 days to have the substantial determination on who’s going to be your mayor, your comptroller, your public advocate — that’s concerning to me.”  The Bill obliterates the privilege of citizenship.   Mayor Adams, despite the fact that he fundamentally supports non-citizen voting,  should have vetoed the Bill and encouraged each borough to have a public hearing (the one public hearing was not enough for such a monumental change in voting rights.)  We do believe however that it is an unconstitutional law and hope that a Court will put a stay on it as it works its way through the Court system.

Legislative Memo Opposed to Absentee Ballots

CONSERVATIVE PARTY of NEW YORK STATE
486 78th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11209
(718) 921-2158 Voice  * (718) 921-5268 Fax
 2022 Legislative Memo…
 In Opposition to
S7565-B Biaggi (on Election Committee Agenda 1-10-2022)

 Purpose of Bill:  To allow voters who are concerned about voting in-person due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic to request an absentee ballot through December 31, 2022.

Party Position:  On Tuesday, November 2, 2021, the voters of New York State soundly defeated the statewide ballot Proposition 4 “No Excuse Absentee Voting.”  This bill seeks to override the will of New York State Voters.

Voters are currently allowed to request an absentee ballot, for a variety of reasons.  Illness, physical disability, care-taking responsibilities, are a resident at a veteran health administration hospital, which are legitimate reasons to request an absentee ballot.

This bill seeks to allow until December 31, 2022 a person to request an absentee ballot to those who are concerned about the risk of voting in person.  Since the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic almost 2 years ago, prevention and treatment have advanced to a point that people have the means to protect themselves in their everyday lives.

When voters could only vote on election day, the voting polls were crowded at times and people would have to stand on long lines in order to exercise their civic duty. However, New York State has early voting that people can take advantage of; gone are the days that only one day is possible to vote.

The Conservative Party of New York State strongly opposes A 7565-B as it willfully seeks to override the fact that New York voters rejected this statewide ballot proposal just last November.

LM 001-2022

Chairman Kassar’s weekly wrap up discusses the Governor’s State of the State, Manhattan’s new District Attorney and our upcoming CPPAC on January 30 – 31, 2022

State of the State

Gov. Kathy Hochul delivered her first State of the State Address Wednesday, her first since taking over the reins from disgraced former Governor Andrew Cuomo. Though it was just a different voice delivering the same empty promises.

It’s amazing how little substance a 237-page State of the State report can contain. Governor Kathy Hochul’s mercifully abbreviated address said even less — which tells us everything.

Six months after taking office as governor, and seven years after becoming lt. governor, Mrs. Hochul showed today that she has almost no helpful ideas for New York. Her State-of-the-State announcements were simply retreads of old, unaffordable proposals, and double-downs on failed policies implemented by her former partner Governor Andrew Cuomo.

We hoped Governor Hochul would address rising crime rates caused by no-cash-bail. We hoped she’d push back against deluded progressives like Manhattan DA Alvin Bragg who just announced that he’s forgoing prison sentences for crimes including Armed Robbery.

We hoped Mrs. Hochul would apologize for firing healthcare workers in the middle of a pandemic; that she’d speak out about racial preferences for life-saving medical care, and finally address New York’s counterproductive tax burden that’s chased a million and a half former New Yorkers, and jobs, out of state.

Instead, we got more of the same, and more of the same isn’t good enough.

New Yorkers looking for change — actual, hopeful change — learned today that it isn’t coming under this administration. Fortunately for them, this is an election year.

Listen to Congressman and Gubernatorial candidate Lee Zeldin deliver his rebuttal to Gov. Hochul here.

Manhattan D.A.

Insanity, that’s the only word to describe the actions of new Manhattan District Attorney.

Alvin Bragg released a memo his third day in office, ordering Manhattan prosecutors not to seek prison sentences for a number of crimes and to downgrade charges for robberies, commercial burglaries, trespassing, resisting arrest and more.

Bragg’s memo included the following instructions for prosecutors to reduce charges filed by police officers:

  • Armed robbers who use guns or other deadly weapons to stick up stores and other businesses will be prosecuted only for petty larceny, a misdemeanor, provided no victims were seriously injured and there’s no “genuine risk of physical harm” to anyone. Armed robbery, a class B felony, would typically be punishable by a maximum of 25 years in prison, while petty larceny subjects offenders to up to 364 days in jail and a $1,000 fine.
  • Convicted criminals caught with weapons other than guns will have those felony charges downgraded to misdemeanors unless they’re also charged with more serious offenses. Criminal possession of a weapon in the third degree, a class D felony, is punishable by up to 7 years behind bars.
  • Burglars who steal from residential storage areas, parts of homes that aren’t “accessible to a living area” and businesses located in mixed-use buildings will be prosecuted for a low-level class D felony that only covers break-ins instead of for more serious crimes. Those more serious crimes, class B and class C felonies, would be punishable by up to 25 and up to 15 years in prison respectively.
  • Drug dealers believed to be “acting as a low-level agent of a seller” will be prosecuted only for misdemeanor possession. Also, suspected dealers will only be prosecuted on felony charges if they’re also accused of more serious crimes or are actually caught in the act of selling drugs. That felony would mean facing up to seven years behind bars.

There is a cautionary note here for all New Yorkers who choose not to vote. Sometimes the danger is not simply electing someone who disagrees with you. On occasion the failure to participate can result in an actual unqualified person being elected, one who is a danger to you and your family.

Depending on how he implements his demented view, Governor Hochul possess the authority to remove him from office for malfeasance. I very much doubt she has the strength or leadership ability to take on any NYC Progressive. But I can hope.

The Albany Times Union newspaper headlines Gov.

NY Post editorial board writes:  Hochul’s State of the State shows she has a ways to go to prove she’s right for New York.

Is Senator Schumer a G.O.A.T. or a goat?

Schumer vows Senate rules change vote by Jan. 17 if GOP blocks voting rights.  Schumer is drumming up support by telling left-wing media: ‘New’ Republican Party Under Trump ‘Viciously Against Voting Rights’.  This is from The Hill:  Schumer ramps up filibuster fight ahead of Jan. 6 anniversary.

However, there is a glimmer of hope:  Chuck Schumer Plan to Obliterate the Filibuster Faces Two Big Obstacles.

Rich Lowry writes in the NY Post: “The latest pitch for the Democratic voting agenda is more cynical and detached from reality than ever. We are to believe that the only way to counteract the furies unleashed on Jan. 6 is by imposing same-day voter registration and no-excuse mail voting on the states, ending partisan gerrymandering and requiring the counting of ballots that arrive up to seven days after Election Day, among other provisions completely irrelevant to events that day or afterward.”   Read the rest of the article here:  Dems would discredit democracy by using Capitol riot to nationalize elections.
