Grand Island businessman Rus Thompson, one of the group's organizers, said he is considering a run against County Legislator Charles M. Swanick, R-Kenmore, or for Grand Island Town Board.
"We should target every legislator who voted for the sales tax increase," Thompson said. "We're taxed to the hilt already."

They need to concentrate on unseating Assembly Speaker Sheldon Silver- the obstructionist!

Hope they succeed.
And everyone who voted to increase the taxes on the dairy farmers should also be sent packing.

This is a great effort...just wondering to what extent the group is organized and supported as a Libertarian entity, if at all. One of your theoretical supporters has been published by Rockwell and that troubles me.
Don't get me wrong: Given the state of the county and the state I think that the effort needs support, but I worry about fringe groups dividing the Republicans leading to a Democrat monopoly. Yeah, I know the pubbies aren't much better, but they are a whole lot better than the socialist Dems.

I agree and we can do nothing untill the elections next year.
We will need to get some candidates into the assembly to vote NO!
We have got to get rid of the veto proof majority silver maintains.

We need to focus on every incumbent one election season at a time.
When we take a couple of seats in this election they will know we are coming and we will gain ground.

We are not orginized as any entity at all.
The person you are talking about is focused on election law and that is it.
We are not focusing on any issues, we are focused on getting good candidates to challenge the incumbents in the primary.
We are working on a code of ethics for the candidates we will support.

I hear that!
I just wish so often that nice wonderful politicians like the honorable and esteemed Sheldon Silver would get their political cashing out.

Yup, probably in a back room working on a new law or tax to implement on us.
