p
I’ve reached out to him and the TEA Party groups on Long Island. Thru my connections downstate I’ll get him up here. I’d even drive him around up here like I did Paladino in 2010
We know most of the major groups plus all the 2nd amendment groups. We have the largest networking in the state.
We need to take it to Cuomo once and for all. He hates me and feelings are mutual. He did his best to knock me down but hey Cuomo, I’m still standing you punk
Great news. Praying the people of New York understand how serious this next election is. Our once great state is being ruined by arrogant fools like cuomo.
Nice try, the rat voter fraud machine is in high gear
Can’t ever see NY voting GOP.
It looks like the GOP may have a few good candidates.
