CONSERVATIVE PARTY CALLS FOR IMMEDIATE PASSAGE OF ASSEMBLYMAN SLATER BILL TO PROTECT NEW YORKERS FROM FOREIGN ENEMIES AT HOME

Brooklyn-NY…The New York State Conservative Party is calling for immediate passage of legislation sponsored by Assemblyman Matt Slater (R-C, Putnam/Westchester) that would prohibit China, Russia, and other nations of concern from purchasing real property throughout the Empire State.

The bill, A. 5301, follows the alarming arrests of Chinese Communist Party (CCP) intelligence officers who have been operating spy centers in New York City and across the nation. (These are CCP spy centers, not Chinese “police stations,” as they’ve been carelessly described.)

“Whether its spy balloons, cyber attacks or the recent arrest of Chinese Communist Party agents in New York City, America is constantly under attack by foreign enemies,” Assemblyman Slater said. “This legislation will prohibit China, Russia and any other nation of concern from owning property in the Empire State. New York must take action to protect its citizens and safeguard our property and natural resources from foreign influence.”

“The New York State Legislature has a constitutional responsibility to safeguard its citizens from foreign threats on U.S. soil,” said State Conservative Party Chairman Gerard Kassar. “The Party urges every elected legislator to place the long term safety of New Yorkers (and all Americans) above the acquisition of real property by foreign countries and entities that the Department of State identifies as places of particular concern. We commend Assemblyman Slater for stepping forward with bold legislation that, if passed, will send a message around the world: New York will proactively defend itself against foreign transgressions.”

LEGISLATIVE MEMO IN SUPPORT OF A.5301-SLATER

2023 Legislative Memo… In Support of

A. 5301 – Slater

Purpose: To protect New York State and the United States of America’s interests from foreign governments, entities and non-citizen individuals.

Party Position: As noted in the Preamble of the US Constitution, one of the primary responsibilities of government is to protect its citizens. Our state constitution is also charged with protecting people from local threats.

New York State has several areas that citizens rely on to provide its citizens with protection from her enemies; unfortunately, lately our enemies (as defined by the Department of State) are looking to obtain real property near such entities for probable nefarious reasons.

It is the responsibility of the Members of the NYS Legislature to make certain that our government buildings and military bases, as well as any other similar entities designed to protect New Yorkers, and in fact, all of America’s citizens, remain free of foreign countries being able to purchase nearby land or any other means of putting our citizens in danger.

The Conservative Party of New York State urges every elected legislator to place the long term safety of New Yorkers (and all Americans) above the acquisition of real property by foreign countries and entities that the Department of State identifies as places of particular concern.

New York, in its infancy, played a major role in making America the best country in the world; our form of government “by the People” acknowledges that “we the People” will protect our citizens. Now 234 years later, this legislative body must pass this legislation to maintain their commitment to the people who duly elected them and keep them and all Americans as safe as possible.

DISNEY/ABC MUST RETIRE JANE FONDA FROM ‘THE VIEW’

Called for ‘Murder’ of Pro-Life Americans on National TV

Brooklyn-NY…The New York State Conservative Party today called on Disney/ABC to remove Jane Fonda as a guest host on “The View” after the divisive liberal activist called for the murder of pro-life Americans while appearing on the show last week (she claimed she had been joking following powerful public backlash at her remarks.) There has been no action taken against Ms. Fonda by Disney/ABC.

“If anyone called for the murder of pro-choice Americans on national TV, he or she would be canned by the network before the show was even over,” said New York State Conservative Party Chairman Gerard Kassar. “But not Jane Fonda, and not on the issue on abortion. To the Hollywood and show business elite, like Ms. Fonda, abortion is to be celebrated, and pro-lifers scorned and ridiculed. If Disney/ABC have any moral or intellectual integrity, they’d remove Ms. Fonda from any future appearances on ‘The View’ today.”

Chairman Kassar continued: “Being a celebrity doesn’t protect one from being a fool, which is what Ms. Fonda has been since at least 1972 when the North Vietnamese exploited her knee-jerk anti-Americanism for propaganda purposes — as American POWs were being tortured and killed in Hanoi prisons. Maybe Hanoi Jane should have stayed in Vietnam. The country has one of the highest abortion rates in the world. She’d be right at home there.”

STATEMENT FROM NEW YORK STATE CONSERVATIVE PARTY CHAIRMAN GERARD KASSAR ON ELECTION OF ED COX AS NEW YORK REPUBLICAN CHAIRMAN

Brooklyn-NY…“The New York State Conservative Party congratulates its long-time friend and colleague, Ed Cox, on resuming his chairmanship of the New York State Republican Party, following a vote by the Republican State Committee in Albany this morning.

“Chairman Cox is a genuine public servant, and New York Republicans are fortunate to have him back at the helm. Chairman Cox, a personal friend, could be doing just about anything at this stage of his career, but he’s elected to get back in the trenches of New York politics, because that’s where he’s most needed. I look forward to working closely with Chairman Cox to defeat woke divisiveness and advance personal and economic liberties in a state that’s gone off the rails with one-party Democratic rule. Welcome back, Chairman.”

STATEMENT FROM NEW YORK STATE CONSERVATIVE PARTY CHAIRMAN GERARD KASSAR ON 100TH BIRTHDAY OF FORMER SENATOR/JUSTICE JAMES L. BUCKLEY

Brooklyn-NY “Fifty-three years ago, the New York State Conservative Party shocked the political world by electing James L. Buckley to the United States Senate on the Conservative Party line alone, defeating both the Republican and Democratic Party candidates for the seat.

“Following his time in the Senate, Mr. Buckley, a World War II Navy veteran (Pacific Theater), served as Undersecretary of State in the Reagan Administration, President of Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty during the Cold-War 1980’s, and, later, as a U.S. Court of Appeals Justice for the D.C. Circuit, the nation’s second-most important court. He is the only known living American to have served in such senior capacities in all three branches of government.

“Today, Mr. Buckley reaches a new milestone — his 100th birthday — and the Conservative Party thunderously applauds the occasion, as well as Mr. Buckley’s  lifelong devotion to his country. It is as perplexing, as well as upsetting, to note on such a day that no public parklands, buildings, or structures to date have been named for this truly outstanding American.

“Mr. Buckley, one of the Senate’s great conservationists, was crucial in strengthening the Federal Clean Air and Clean Water Acts, and, closer to home, was instrumental in creating New York’s and New Jersey’s Gateway National Recreation Area, which has been enjoyed by tens of millions of Americans. We are pleased to see that Congresswoman Nicole Malliotakis (R-C, Staten Island) has sponsored legislation to recognize Senator Buckley’s work in creating and maintaining Gateway. We urge bipartisan passage of her legislation this year in both the House and the Senate.

“Jim Buckley has never stopped making the New York State Conservative Party proud. He is a genuine public treasure, and we salute him, not only on his 100th birthday, but for his goodness, devotion, and hard work. Happy birthday, Senator Buckley.”

STATEMENT FROM NEW YORK STATE CONSERVATIVE PARTY CHAIRMAN GERARD KASSAR ON NEW YORK CITY’S PROPOSAL TO PAY LAWBREAKERS WITH TAX DOLLARS

Brooklyn-NY…“Is it us, or is paying violent protesters $21,500 each for having broken the law a universally ridiculous idea — an idea almost as ludicrous as giving marijuana retail licenses to former drug dealers?

“By encouraging criminal behavior, with taxpayer money no less, New York is giving up any hope of becoming a just and civil society again. The New York State Conservative Party strongly condemns any incentivization of criminal behavior, a concept that can hardly be viewed as radical.

“The law-abiding public should be outraged by this proposal, as are we. Enriching lawbreakers for illegal behavior is just plain nuts.”

STATEMENT FROM NEW YORK STATE CONSERVATIVE PARTY CHAIRMAN GERARD KASSAR ON SENATE GOP JUDICIAL WIN

Brooklyn-NY…“New York State Senators are the duly elected representatives of the people of New York State, and, as such, they must have final say over gubernatorial nominees for state courts.

“Today’s judicial victory reaffirms the supremacy of the electorate over ad hoc political machinations that have become the norm in Albany under one-party Democratic rule. It is a win for New Yorkers of all political persuasion.

“The Conservative Party congratulates plaintiff Senator Anthony Palumbo, GOP Senate Leader Rob Ortt and the entire Republican State Senate Conference for defending a crucially important American concept from the temporary passions of hot-headed
ideologues. This decision is an important reminder that the people call the shots in this country through their elected representatives. Too many in Albany and Washington have forgotten that fundamental American notion.”

Statement On AT&T’S Dismissal of Newsmax Channel

STATEMENT FROM NEW YORK STATE CONSERVATIVE PARTY CHAIRMAN GERARD KASSAR ON AT&T’S DISMISSAL OF NEWSMAX CHANNEL

Brooklyn-NY…“Political speech, particularly dissenting speech, is America’s most precious resource, whether it comes from the political left or the political right.

“The New York State Conservative Party is, therefore, alarmed at AT&T’s decision to pull the Newsmax Channel from its Dish Network offerings.  We suspect this wasn’t done for the economic reasons AT&T claims — Newsmax has a considerable audience — it was a political decision based on faddish prejudices in corporate boardrooms against legitimate conservative opinion. (One America News Network has also been singled out for cancellation due to its ideological slant.)

“We urge AT&T to reconsider the cancellation of Newsmax. This country was founded on the premise that more speech is always preferred to less speech, and that wisdom applies as much today as it did at the beginning of the American experiment. Those who prefer not to be edified by conservative viewpoints have a simple solution available to them: change the channel. If that doesn’t work, they can always bury their heads in the sand.”

STATEMENT FROM NEW YORK STATE CONSERVATIVE PARTY CHAIRMAN GERARD KASSAR ON PRESIDENT BIDEN’S STATE OF THE UNION ADDRESS

Brooklyn-NY…“President Joe Biden’s State of the Union Address demonstrated just how fortunate we are to have elected a Republican House Majority last year. There has never been a greater need for a conservative bulwark against expansionist liberal government in Washington.

“It was disappointing to see and hear Mr. Biden intermingle calls for bipartisanship with cutting partisan lies about Social Security and Medicare. And after four years of denouncing Republican ‘America-First’ rhetoric, Mr. Biden now claims to be a champion of ‘Made in America.’

“We’re happy to have the President on board, and won’t wait up for an apology.”
