“Government’s view of the economy could be summed up in a few short phrases: If it moves, tax it. If it keeps moving, regulate it. And if it stops moving, subsidize it”-Ronald Reagan
From everyone at the New York State Conservative Party, we want to wish you and your family a Merry Christmas.
2020 has certainly brought us many unexpected twists and turns. It has been a challenging year for all, not just here in New York, but around the country.
Through the trials and tribulations, I have been encouraged to see how well New Yorkers have once again responded in the face of adversity.
We have much to remain grateful for and I am confident that we will soon come out the other side stronger than ever.
New Yorkers remain in my thoughts and prayers and I look forward to seeing you all. Have a healthy and prosperous 2021.
Gov. Andrew Cuomo has lost all ability to understand what it is like to meet a payroll; his only experience was when he founded Housing Enterprise for the Less Privileged (HELP USA) and that only lasted 3 years. Since then, it has been all public service and as Governor he just takes more from New York’s taxpayers to pay the bills he creates. Governor Andrew Cuomo is a heartless, cold, compassionless human that only cares about keeping the people who are dependent upon him grateful for his generosity in taking from others to give to them. Cuomo NYSDOL to Struggling Small Biz: Your Employees Will Soon Cost More. Even a piece of coal, this Christmas, is too good for Andrew Cuomo.
Really Mr. Biden? Did those who voted for you, want you or a retread of the failed Obama Administration? With all the qualified, even semi-qualified, people you could chose, why tap Susan Rice? Susan Rice Returns/One of Obama’s worst advisers is resurrected for the Biden administration. Was she part of the deal to get you elected by any means possible? Or did you tap her because she is used to covering up grave faults of the administration she works for?
Yesterday, the Conservative Party issued the following legislative memo to the Legislative Members stating opposition to government mandating that New Yorkers receive the COVID-19 vaccine:
The Conservative Party of NYS is committed to the health of its citizens. With that being said, we firmly oppose the mandatory use of the COVID-19 vaccine, that this proposed bill calls for. There is no doubt that a vaccine will be useful in stemming the spread of this dangerous and deadly virus, and those who want to or need to have it, should be able to access the various COVID-19 vaccines that will be available. However, government must not make the mistake that a new, albeit FDA approved, vaccine should be mandated.
The first wave of COVID-19 was certainly deadly and a vaccine to prevent the devastating disease is welcome news. Much has been learned about COVID- 19 and while many New Yorkers welcome the new vaccine, some people have concerns on getting the vaccine that requires two doses. Government should not be taking on the role of mandating vaccines as a “protective measure” when people have legitimate concerns on being vaccinated.
The Conservative Party believes that people should have the right to decide if they want the COVID-19 vaccine, and if they do, it should be available to them, but government must not take on the role of mandating it.

We are thrilled New York will soon be receiving 170,000 doses from the pharmaceutical giant Pfizer, but under no circumstance do we believe people should be forced to vaccinate.
Amongst the first to receive the vaccines will be healthcare workers, nursing home residents, essential employees.
Moderna will be delivering a second bath of doses shortly before January, it is expected New York City will receive 480,000 additional doses in that shipment.
The two companies, Pfzier and Moderna, will be producing 45 million doses before years end to the United States. That is enough for 22.5 million Americans as two doses are required per person.
This is welcomed news and a true testament to how hard the Trump Administration worked to provide these vaccines. Operation Warp Speed will have laid the groundwork to provide a vaccine months and months earlier than typical timelines.
A great accomplishment by our President Donald J. Trump and Chief Scientific Advisor Moncef Slaoui.
The Grinch in the Governor’s Mansion
Governor Andrew Cuomo and other Democratic State Representatives want to wish you a Merry Christmas – by raising your taxes and burdening New Yorker’s with additional fees.
While the NY Post publishes stories of giddy real estate brokers in Florida clamoring over their new found wealth of New Yorker’s looking to re-locate for greener financial pastures, Democratic State Legislators in New York are continuing to find new ways to lighten your pocket.
Brooklyn Assembly-member Robert Carroll earlier this week announced legislation that would add an additional $3.00 fee for every individual package you ordered online. Not only is this idea harmful financially, it is also potentially harmful to your health. Individuals who use online ordering as a preventative to spending more time outside, risking the chance of getting sick, could now be forced to go to grocery, or other stores, to avoid an additional tax of $12.00 or $15.00 on packaging.
Never one to be outdone. Governor Grinch Cuomo this week said even with a federal bailout, taxes will be raised in New York State.
Conservatives and Republicans continue to oppose increases, while the business community warns that raising taxes on the wealthy will continue to be a further burden for the state financially as New Yorkers continue to re-locate. State budget director, Robert Mujica, stated half of the state’s personal income tax revenue comes from the highest-earning 2% of taxpayers. Many of whom have already left.
Lawsuit Challenging Elections Results Filed
Texas has filed suit asking the Supreme Court to invalidate the results of the 2020 election citing evidence of voter fraud.
Attorney General Ken Paxton is suing four battleground states: Pennsylvania, Georgia, Wisconsin and Michigan. In the suit he says election procedures in those states due to the Corona Virus violated federal law. Paxton argues it was unconstitutional for state election officials to expand mail voting. He also gives examples that demonstrate “lawlessness” including Republican poll watchers not being permitted to watch the process of counting absentee ballots that were being pulled from under tables. 106 current House Republicans have joined the lawsuit in support of the President as well as attorneys general from 17 states who have filed their own friend-of-the-court brief in support of Texas
Additionally, six more states: Missouri, Arkansas, Louisiana, Mississippi, South Carolina, and Utah asked Thursday to join Texas in the case.
The Supreme Court has announced it will hear the case.
Media Does Damage Control on Their Refusal to Cover Hunter Biden Before the Election. They can do all the damage control they want; those of us who follow elections, politics and love America will never trust those who refused to cover the obvious truth and have put America at risk with their omissions of truth that will play right into China’s goals…if we let it.
Really amazing how people still voted for the Queen Bee (of course, this is most likely the reason there wasn’t a “blue wave.” Hey Nancy, wait till 2022 when more Americans realize that the only person who means anything to you is YOU.) Byron York’s Daily Memo: How Pelosi’s TDS hurt America.
Not as farfetched an idea as one may think; since COVID-19 changed our lives, government thinks it has the authority to mandate everything they can to stay in power. Thus, articles like this are so important: Mandatory Voting Is Authoritarian

Conservative Party Issues Opposition Memo on Government Mandating COVID-19 Vaccine
Brooklyn, NY (12/10/2020) – Conservative Party Chairman Gerard Kassar has issued the following legislative memo to the Legislative Members stating opposition to government mandating that New Yorkers receive the COVID-19 vaccine.
The full memo follows:
CONSERVATIVE PARTY of NEW YORK STATE 486 78th Street, Ft. Hamilton Station, NY 11209 (718) 921-2158 Voice * (718) 921-5268 Fax
2020 Legislative Memo…
In Opposition to…
11179 – Rules (at the request of M. of A. L. Rosenthal)
Purpose: An Act to amend the public health law, in relation to administering a COVID-19 vaccine.
Party Position: The Conservative Party of NYS is committed to the health of its citizens. With that being said, we firmly oppose the mandatory use of the COVID-19 vaccine, that this proposed bill calls for.
There is no doubt that a vaccine will be useful in stemming the spread of this dangerous and deadly virus, and those who want to or need to have it, should be able to access the various COVID-19 vaccines that will be available. However, government must not make the mistake that a new, albeit FDA approved, vaccine should be mandated.

If Americans were aware of this prior to the election, and if the press did not suppress the Hunter Biden connection, would the results be the same? It is inconceivable that the democrat machine would have been able to manipulate the results, if American’s were given all the facts. History is on our side…if Americans are determined to protect our young nation against all those who only crave power.
An excellent article by Karol Markowicz in today’s NY Post: Crime is killing USA’s cities — if we just move away, it will follow us. The one thing I would add to it is that when people flee the big cities to “safer” places, they unfortunately bring their progressive voting habits with them and the same bad ideas then follow.
Seventy-nine years ago, America suffered a horrendous Day of Infamy. We pray for all the souls lost; for all the sacrifices made through out the horrors of World War II and will be forever grateful to the men and woman who protected America and promise them we will honor their commitment and continue to protect America.
Last week the United States Supreme Court handed in a 5-4 decision striking down Governor Cuomo’s order limiting religious gatherings to 10 and 25 people.
“I have said from the beginning the restrictions imposed by Governor Cuomo were an overreach that did not take into account the size of our churches or the safety protocols that have kept parishioners safe,” said Bishop Nicholas DiMarzio of Brooklyn.
Other Catholic and Orthodox Jewish leaders from around the state including the Brooklyn Diocese and Agudath Israel played big roles in pushing back against their religious freedoms being infringed upon by a power-hungry tyrant.
Governor Cuomo could do nothing but accuse the court of partisanship after the decision, claiming it was due to the three Justices nominated by President Donald Trump and their ideology.
The decision bruised Governor Cuomo’s ego which has grown larger and larger over the course of the past 8 months.
Earlier this year Jason McGuire, Livingston County Conservative Party Chairman and Executive Director of New Yorker’s for Constitutional Freedom, led the charge in urging the Governor to work with faith leaders and come to an agreement that would safely open churches.
The Supreme Court ensured religious rights will not be infringed upon.
Updating New York’s 22nd Congressional District
Claudia Tenney continues to maintain a lead of 12 votes in a race that has been covered in a cloud of confusion with new twists and turns seemingly every day.
First it was a head scratching case of missing Post-it notes. The sticky notes “fell” off a stack of disputed ballots, making it unclear whether the ballots had already been counted. Next, the Chenango County Board of Elections found 55 “mislaid” ballots. 11 of the ballots were immediately thrown out due to registration issues leaving 44 to be added to the count. It is believed the remaining 44 ballots will break in Tenney’s direction as it appears those ballots were cast by a majority of Republicans.
While I do not expect any new updates until Monday, I do want to thank Madison County Conservative Party Chairman and attorney Chris Kendall who has been working with the Tenney campaign to ensure recount efforts are being properly handled and every legal vote is being counted.
I am confident we will have good news to report in the coming days, but I remain concerned with how the Oneida and Chenango Counties Board of Elections have handled the process. Carelessness and lack of transparency has the voters of the 22nd District unknowing who their representative will be more than a month after election day.
These issues must be corrected and the Board of Elections in both counties must take the steps necessary to ensure these issues do not happen again in the future.
President Trump closing in on 300,000 Conservative Party votes
I am proud to announce as it currently stands, President Trump has received 295,697 votes on the Conservative Party line, the second most votes for President in the history of the party trailing only Richard Nixon in 1972.
President Trump’s 2016 effort was previously the second highest. He now holds the 2nd and 3rd most votes in party history.
I want to thank everyone who voted on the Conservative Party line and everyone who continues to be a friend of the party. With your help we continue to play a major role in races all over the state. Our party line is actively sought year after year from the North Country on down to Long Island. Candidates know the importance of being on row C and what it means to their chances.
I look forward to continuing our fight in 2021.
Mario Cuomo: The Myth and The Man
I was pleased to be joined by George Marlin last night to discuss his new book. George, through an immense amount of research and first-hand accounts, relives the Mario Cuomo era and offers true insight into politics in the 1970’s and 1980’s. I highly recommend the book to those interested in an important chapter in New York State and national political history.
You can watch the interview in its entirety on our Facebook page.
With a heavy heart we acknowledge there will be no new words of wisdom written by Walter E. Williams, R.I.P. Here is Thomas Sowell’s touching tribute to his friend. (For the life of me, I do not understand how the press made heroes of Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson and ignored Thomas Sowell and Walter E. Williams as the true leaders for people of color who seek and understand the American Dream. They rose from underprivileged lives to become a beacon of hope to all that listened. Another shameful error perpetrated by the mainstream media.)
