Thank you, Mayor, for your insightful postings to this thread. Indeed, the majority of us NY conservatives cannot simply pack our bags and leave.
If we have to we will take the GOPe down in this state.
Perhaps we can organize a FR group and coordinate these efforts. metmom, you have the beginnings of a ping list ... would you be willing to take on this role? Please add me to your NY ping list. You can also create a "signature notification" that reads something like this: NY Conservative Ping List. Please freepmail me to be added/removed to this list. In so doing, you can grow the list and those of us who find a newsworthy article can contact you for a list ping.
I am a native New Yorker and have no intentions of relocating outside the state. Mayor, you are in Buffalo; I am in the Capital Region. Perhaps we can formulate a plan to target the RINOs and make a difference in our state.
Those I have pinged are some who I know are NYers but it isn’t an official NY ping list.
I would be willing to start one to keep tabs on what’s going on in various parts of the state.
So, if anyone wants to be on NY Conservative Ping list, let me know. preferably by FReepmauil. Requests send to me on the forum tend to get buried in my ping list and I am too likely to miss them.
One encouraging thing I’ve seen which will never make the news, is that there has been a change in the leadership at SU. There’s a new chancellor who is a very conservative man with a strong religious background. Also, Fellowship of Christian Athletes is very active and prominent on the campus and having an impact. There is a lot of unity amongst the different faith groups there.
Now, that may not seem relevant to many as far as politics, but considering the size of Syracuse and the size of SU and the impact SU has on the community, if even for the number of people it employs in the area, this is very encouraging.
Good thing we conservatives are here, as we win some elections, and we won against Cuomo's abortion expansion agenda last time. Around 1,000 of us demonstrated in Albany last time.
But Cuomo, and friends, are trying again.
Here's a Tweet on that:
"New Yorkers for Life @NYS4Life Jan 27 Not surprisingly #NYAssembly passed @NYGovCuomo's #AbortionExpansion Act today (80-36). Bill still blocked in #NYSenate."
Call your State Senators, and tell them to vote NO! on Abortion Expansion. It is expected the Senate will vote Friday.
I think the State Senate will stand strong on this again, but we never know. Contact them and pray.
