LOOKING AHEAD

Allow me to wish all a very Happy, Safe and Productive New Year. The past year was a broadly successful year for the Conservative Party. There were countless local victories which turned the tide in our favor in county after county, town after town. Even in NYC gains were made in the Council. Considering the terrible polices the radical left has attempted to impose on us I am not surprised.

The sound defeat of propositions one, three and four that came about through our VOTENONY project received national attention by Sen. Mitch McConnell and national news organizations. This victory against forces that were more interested in partisan politics then secure elections and fair reapportionment required the party to raise and expend significant resources. The Party, supported by friends like yourself and significant allies, was able to meet the challenge.

The new year, despite continued political shenanigans by the radical left, looks to be a strong one for our party.  In Lee Zeldin we have an outstanding candidate for Governor. Our entire statewide slate will be announced in the near future and I think you will be impressed. The entire Congress and State Legislature are up for election in a Democratic created environment of out-of-control inflation, a failed foreign policy, anti-policing laws and rhetoric as well as one of the greatest over reaches of government authority ever seen in our nation during peacetime.

As always, the Conservative Party will advocate in the new year for individual freedom, personal responsibility and smaller government.

Thank you for supporting the Conservative Party.  Happy New Year!

On behalf of the New York State Conservative Party, I want to wish you all a Merry Christmas. I hope your holiday season is filled with warmth, love and laughter as you visit with your family and friends.

“To the American People: Christmas is not a time or a season but a state of mind. To cherish peace and good will, to be plenteous in mercy, is to have the real spirit of Christmas. If we think on these things, there will be born in us a Savior and over us will shine a star sending its gleam of hope to the world.” – Calvin Coolidge, 1927

Good advice from the NY Post editorial board for President Biden…but does he take advice from anyone besides himself?  Biden needs to face the new reality of COVID-19

From the City Journal:  Florida v. Critical Race Theory.

Sen. Tom Cotton has a great idea:  Recall, Remove & Replace Every Last Soros Prosecutor.  Unfortunately, that is not possible in NYS as the Members of the Legislature refuse to consider the options of Recall, Remove and Replace.  It is long past time to Save Our State with new energy, ideas that protect its citizens, and an economy to produce jobs for them.   If you have never been involved in helping a person, get elected, now is the time to become involved and take part in Lee Zeldin’s bid to Save Our State.  Click here for more information.

China Planning the Ultimate Genocide; Biden Responding with Empty Words.

Liberals and the media couldn’t care less about the true will of the American people; We the People must keep making our voices heard.

The Latest White House Statement About the ‘Unvaccinated’ Is Making People’s Skin Crawl

Liberals disappointed after Biden’s first year.  Sen. Bernie Sanders is so out of touch with reality.  Sanders: Let Manchin vote no on Build Back Better ‘in front of the whole world’.

Another elected official who lives in her own world and doesn’t understand that CRT does the exact opposite as what she (and many others) thinks.  AOC Suggests CRT Opponents ‘Accepting of Racism’ as GOP Bills Against It Pile Up.

Unfortunately, this headline seems to be written based on the Biden Administration’s talking points:  Manchin undercuts Biden, leaving his agenda in limbo _ TheHill.   Question for The Hill: When did Sen. Manchin (and others) become responsible to the President (and The Squad, left wing editorial boards etc.)?  Have they all forgotten that every elected official is responsible to the people who elected him!  Do they not remember, We the People in order to form a more perfect Union…where does it say We the elected officials?

Shocking news from the White House, not!  White House says Manchin went back on his word .  Since their first day as the Biden Administration, they have never acknowledged their complicity in an obvious error in judgement.  Neither do any of the far-left democrats in Congress:  Democrats outraged after Manchin opposes Biden spending bill.

Dems pivot from Build Back Better to illiberal voting ‘rights’ bill.  Naturally, after lamenting the end of BBB, Sen.

Hochul’s Mask Mandate

Governor Hochul’s mask mandate has been met with significant resistance as more than thirty counties have announced they will not enforce the Governor’s order. Noticeably absent from the Governor’s announcement was her Health Commissioner and Senior Advisors.

I believe Governor Hochul sets state policy on likely personal benefits miscalculated with her new mask mandate. As her popularity continues to trend southward, Hochul is attempting to play both sides and get underneath any negative pushback by indicating the state will not penalize any counties that are refusing to enforce.

Cuomo Ordered to return ill-gotten book profits.

Disgraced former Governor Cuomo’s $5 million book deal was buttressed on lies, falsified official records, coverups and deliberate delays in reporting. To add insult to injury many state employees, mostly against their will, were used to research, write, and edit the book. A clear misallocation of Government funds and time.

JCOPE was correct in ordering the Governor to repay profits from his book. Read my complete statement here.

Biden, Schumer Fail to Move Build Back Better Bill

Thanks to Senator Joe Manchin the “Build Back Better” Bill, is shelved in the United States Senate.

BBB, passed the U.S. House on a party line vote minus one Republican defector, Illinois Congressman Adam Kinzinger. Thanks to the Senate and the Senator from West Virginia, 2021 will end with no more fiscal carnage at the hands of the Democrats.

The truth is Build Back Better is just Build Back Broke. The inflationary bill would add significant debt that our country under no circumstance can afford. BBB has been the cornerstone of the Biden domestic agenda, but clearly even a member of his own party cannot fathom the financial consequences the bill would have on the taxpayers.

GOP Senators Wrong to Support Lifting Debt Cap

The best way to keep government from growing is to stop uncontrolled spending, but this week the GOP Senators allowed the Democrats to raise the debt ceiling doing all taxpaying Americans a massive disservice.

Though the idea of the debt ceiling may feel distant from the lives of ordinary Americans, how it’s handled by politicians and bureaucrats in Washington can easily wade into your own financial situation.

Many Senate Republicans are frustrated with a deal Senate Minority Leader McConnell reached, on a party-line vote, to allow Democrats to raise the debt ceiling. Republicans first said they would refuse it, but a deal was struck and the debt ceiling was raised.

While we are not yet aware of the deal Minority Leader McConnell made, I can assure you Republicans, and the taxpayers, are getting the raw end of the deal.

Then there is this:  Democrats make frantic last-ditch effort to change Senate rules.  Democrats weigh pivot to voting rights as Biden’s $1.75 trillion social welfare bill stalls.  The time has come for a new Senate Majority Leader with an agenda that will help America.

About that Voting Bill:  Biden Says the Quiet Part Out Loud About Voting Rights Legislation. “The struggle is no longer just who gets to vote or make it easy for eligible people to vote. It’s about who gets to count the vote – whether your vote counts at all,” (emphasis added) he continued.  That is correct, Mr. President, it is whether your vote counts at all.  Perhaps it was just a Freudian Slip (aka parapraxis), but it certainly does matter if your vote counts.  Certain requirements must be adopted to know that elections are honest and forthright.  Strongly suggest every voter produce a photo ID (good enough to enter federal buildings, travel on a plane, rent a car, cash a check, and so very many other every day things we do) so we know you are only voting once and establish one is a citizen of these great United States.

Businesses don’t have enough problems, now the government expects owners/managers to become the “mask” police?  Hochul needs to quit COVID-19 overreach, take Colorado Gov. Jared Polis’ cue.

If you think Biden’s Build Back Better bill will help your child care expenses, this is a must read.  Here is former House Speaker Newt Gingrich’s take on Build Back Better.

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).”

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

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!
