 2022 Legislative Memo

IN OPPOSITION TO…

A. 6678-E Walker   S. 1046-E Myrie

TITLE:  An act to amend the election law, in relation to establishing the John R. Lewis Voting Rights Act of New York, establishing rights of action for denying or abridging of the right of any member of a protected class to vote, providing assistance to language-minority groups, requiring certain political subdivision to receive preclearance for potential violations of the NYVRA, and creating civil liability for voter intimidation.

PARTY POSITION:  The accompanying legislative support memo states that the purpose of this bill is to encourage participation in the elective franchise of all eligible voters to the maximum extent, to eligible voters who are members of racial, ethnic, and language-minority groups shall have an equal opportunity to participate in the political process of the State of New York, and especially to exercise the elective franchise; to improve the quality and availability of demographic and election data and to protect eligible voters against intimidation and deceptive practices.

Voting in New York State has never been easier.  Ballots are printed in many languages; early voting takes place for a full 10 days prior to election day, every effort is currently made to be completely inclusive and encouraging to voters.

Simply put this proposal is a method to resolve a problem that does not exist.  It seeks to change a system that has elected a diverse representation that reflects the diversity of New York State.

The proposal would impose civil penalties based on numerous perceived violations.

This proposed bill is unmanageable, extremely expensive and unnecessary.

The Conservative Party is strongly opposed to this proposal that seeks to provide a “protected class” that Election Law already protects.

 2022 Legislative Memo

IN OPPOSITION TO…

 S. 9407-B Kavanagh     A. 10497 Rules (Jacobson)

 Title:  An act to amend the penal law, the general business law and the executive law, in relation to the unlawful purchase and unlawful sale or delivery of a body vest.

Party Position: This proposed bill creates two new sections of Penal Law that seeks to make it unlawful to purchase a body vest when, “not being engaged or employed in an eligible profession, they knowingly purchase or take possession of a body vest.”  People who are not eligible to purchase a body vest would be guilty of a class A misdemeanor the first time, and a class E felony on subsequent offenses.  The same penalty would be imposed on the seller or a person who exchanges, gives or disposes of a body vest.

The General Business Law is amended to create a violation punishable by a fine up to $5,000 for the first violation and up to $10,000 for subsequent violations.

Although the Party can conceptional support regulating body armor, ordinary citizens are looking for lawful ways to keep their families and themselves protected from the violent crime rates that, unfortunately, continue to rise.  We are concerned that this proposed bill, which is overly broad, would hamper the ability of everyday people from purchasing similar protection for themselves and their families.

The Conservative Party urges a no vote on this bill.

2022 Legislative Memo in opposition to expanding abortion to non New York State residents

 2022 Legislative Memo

IN OPPOSITION TO…

A10094-A Burdick/S 9039-A Biaggi

A.10372-A Rules (Lavine)/S 9077-Krueger

Party Position:

Each of these proposed bills expand the act of aborting an unborn child.

A. 10094/S. 9039 seeks to grant those who travel to New York state for the purpose of obtaining an abortion the “rights” of a citizen of New York state. Known as the “FIRE HATE” (freedom from interference with reproductive and endocrine health advocacy and travel exercise act). It seeks to circumvent the jurisdiction of Courts outside of the State of New York to restrict their state citizens from traveling to New York to exercise the “rights” provided to New York citizens.

A. 10372-A/S. 9077-A seeks to provide legal protections to abortion providers. Similar to the above, the bill seeks to prohibit courts from cooperating with out-of-state civil and criminal cases that stem from abortions that took place legally within New York state.  It also seeks judicial protections by prohibiting law enforcement from cooperating with any anti-abortion states; investigations regarding abortions that took place legally.  It also prevents extradition of abortion providers.

New York allows abortions through all stages of pregnancy almost up until the birth of an innocent unborn child.  It is incomprehensible to allow abortions to be preformed on out-of-state residents, and certainly to not allow New York’s taxpayers to pay for abortions for out-of-staters.

The Conservative Party of New York State is a pro-life Party that believes an unborn child has a right-to-life.

We strongly oppose these bills and any bills that seeks to end the life of an unborn, innocent child.

Whoopi Goldberg ripped into Republicans after several senators expressed their thoughts and prayers in response to the elementary school shooting in Texas on Tuesday. “Why are we always at square one with this? And I swear to God if I hear another Republican senator talk about their heart being broken, I’m gonna punch somebody. I can’t take any thoughts and prayers,” said Goldberg on Wednesday’s episode of The View.  Has it ever occurred to Ms. Goldberg, that guns are inanimate objects and that it is an individual who controls what it does?  And I wonder if it has ever occurred to Ms. Goldberg that for the last 49 years women (and men) have been extremely vocal about a woman’s right to abortion?  (Including Ms. Goldberg herself, albeit who noted it is a difficult decision to make, at 14 and pre Roe v Wade it really was difficult.  And there are many, many women who have had post Roe v Wade abortions that, to this day, regret having one.) Abortion has become the rallying cry for progressives and some want abortion legal up until birth.  For 49 years our youth has been exposed to women’s demand to take the life of their unborn child…and no one makes the connection that by demanding the right to abortion, one is also saying life has no value.  Society has to examine what it is saying about the value of life.  It isn’t only mass shootings of innocent children in a classroom, or people buying groceries, it is the cold- blooded murder of Daniel Enriquez on the Q Train, Christina Yuna Lee’s brutal murder in her apartment, Kyhara Tay, an 11-year-old Bronx girl killed by a stray bullet while the 15- year-old killer aimed at a 13-year- old boy.  It isn’t only mass shootings, Ms. Goldberg, look at the stats in NYC, Chicago, Los Angeles and almost any other area… and it isn’t only guns; knives are being used more often than ever. And Ms. Goldberg, your language that “I’m gonna punch somebody” only adds to the culture of violence you abhor.  Every single one of us should be making every effort to value every life…those born and those still unborn; maybe then we will see a decline in horrendous, senseless, cold-blooded murders.

2022 Legislative Memo in Opposition to local elections held outside of New York City shall be held on election day in November in even-numbered years.

2022 Legislative Memo

IN OPPOSITION TO…

 S.6197-C Skoufis A. 8560-C Paulin

Purpose:  Provides that all certain local elections held outside of New York City shall be held on election day in November in even-numbered years.

Party Position:  All politics are local is a much-used phrase used in the art of politics.  It is a known fact that local elections are the closest to the population in city, towns and villages, as these elections have a direct impact.  It is the local elections that has an immediate and long-term impact on residents.

This proposed bill seeks to “fix” an issue that isn’t broken.  There is no confusion in the current system of holding certain village, town and other elections in odd-numbered years.  Voter turnout is shaped by issues, for example, people in villages, towns and other election districts, know that their local mayor or town council member has little influence or ability to curb inflation, but can help with a street light on a corner that has far too many accidents.  If a corner needs a street light, there is always a large turnout.

The failed progressive policies put forth by former Governor Cuomo, followed and enhanced by Governor Kathy Hochul and passed by the Democrat-controlled Legislature are being rejected by New Yorkers.

This proposed bill is just another power grab by Governor Kathy Hochul and the Democratic members of the Legislature to maintain their extremely tight grip on all political levels in New York State.

This proposed bill does not address how current office holders are affected and if it becomes law, it would be effective immediately.  It is a poorly written bill that only seeks to seize power with this disparaging and most likely unconstitutional scheme.

Democrats should take political advisor Bert Lance’s advice, “If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it.”

The Conservative Party is strongly opposed to S. 6197-C/A8560-C.

President Biden’s “incredible transition” has been his goal from the very beginning.

President Biden seems to praise high gas prices as ‘incredible transition’ Americans must go through.  We said on day one when he cancelled the Keystone Pipeline this was his plan…he has no concept of the burden he is placing on American citizens, nor does he really care.  Absolutely shameful, that President Biden continues to cater to the far-left progressives in the Democrat Party, while oblivious to the pain that struggling families are facing.

States like New York are trying to create government watchdogs to prevent another radicalized youth from killing those they profess to hate, however, as this article notes, it is not only a state issue, it is international. The US is letting its people be radicalized through social media.  In fact, New York has a Domestic Terrorism Task Force, however, it hasn’t met since it was created two years ago.  But because of the outrageous mass killing in Buffalo, Gov. Hochul is planning on bulking it up now. We need a Governor to take the initiative, not govern with knee-jerk reactions.

Brooklyn, NY - “I’m pleased to learn that Assemblyman Mike Lawler is considering running for congress in New York’s newly drawn 17th congressional district. Should Mike choose to run, he will have my unqualified personal endorsement in the race. 

“This would be an easy decision. Assemblyman Lawler is a solid, common-sense conservative who has won support from Republicans, Democrats, and independents in his current Rockland County district. 

“Mr. Lawler would be able to deliver for New York if and when Republicans win the House in November, and his level-headedness is desperately needed in Washington. He would make a superb member of Congress.”

I really feel sorry for the people who only watch or listen to MSNBC as this news outlet runs mostly negative anti-American issues.  MSNBC Claims Homeschooling Is Driven By ‘Insidious Racism”.  Here is another MSNBC host who delivers the same one-sided bias:  MSNBC’s Chuck Todd claims the right appeases White supremacists by crying ‘free speech’.

How can Talia Lavin be considered a journalist, if even only writing for Rolling Stone magazine?  Liberal writer claims Buffalo shooter was ‘mainstream Republican,’ says party obsessed with ‘white fertility’.  I am quite sure she does not know the Buffalo shooter (who for the record is a sick psychopath who deserves, at the very least, life in prison with no possibility of parole ever) nor did Ms. Lavin have the time to research what she wrote in the article.  Her words are purposefully inflammatory for a reason – and can also create untold damage to minds that believe what she writes.  BTW, New York University has hired Talia Lavin as an adjunct journalism professor less than a year after the former New Yorker fact checker resigned after falsely accusing an Immigration and Customs Enforcement agent of having a Nazi tattoo.  Next thing we will learn about her is that Biden nominated her for the “Disinformation Governance Board” to work along side of the other radical, Nina Jankowicz.

Prevention Duty/We need to get better at identifying and stopping mentally disturbed individuals before they perpetrate tragedies.  This article is well thought out and should be discussed with the understanding that it is a delicate matter and it cannot be left in the hands of government appointees similar to those who Biden appointed to the “Disinformation Governance Board.”   Government must never have carte blanche to commit mentally disturbed individuals without serious due process.

Delusions of accused Buffalo shooter are the reverse of reality.

The mass killing in Buffalo on Saturday was despicable as were the killing of one in a California church and 2 killed at a Houston flea market, and those were the ones that made the headlines.  We pray for all the victims, their families and the first responders who have the horror seared into their memories.  Violence is out of control, and unfortunately getting worse every day.  Evil walks amongst us every day; and elected officials call for more gun control (New York has some of the most stringent in the nation) while little else is done to end the violence.  I don’t have the answers, but I do know this, far too many people have lost their moral compass and far too many people ignore the obvious signs.  The Second Amendment isn’t the problem, an inanimate object is incapable of operating on its own.  Calling for censorship of social media is problematic; who becomes the censors?  Those who have a political agenda they do not believe in, thereby censoring and limiting our First Amendment rights?  Current progressive laws have compounded the problems, while the Woke make it almost impossible to hold reasonable discussions so both sides will see a little of the other view, and the war on religion have all contributed to the violence far more that any inanimate object.  Is it that hard to understand why an 18- year-old thinks it is permissible to kill others when people march in the streets demanding the right to take the life of their unborn child and doctors demand the right to end the lives of ill people?  We need to respect life from conception to a natural death and we need to find our moral compass again by following the Golden Rule:  Treat others the way you want to be treated.   It is up to all of us to end this vile senseless violence, the current government (and some clergy) have only contributed to making it worse.
