I will be posting my opinion and what I believe to be is the voice of the people. I took some time off and now I am back. Keep watching for more posts.

With high gas prices, school and property taxes the highest in the nation, small businesses and people leaving the state in droves - when is New York going to speak up? The legislative session will end with no relief in sight and what are the people who we elected doing about it? NOTHING! We need to tell our elected officials that enough is enough. We are not going to stand for incompetent,

I am just wondering when the people of this great country are going to wake up and realize that we are slowly losing our freedom and moving towards socialism, even communism.

I took some time off to get acquainted back with my family after campaigning. I will be back within the next week. I have a lot more to say and I still believe that our voice is not being heard. I may have withdrawn my name as a candidate for the Assembly this, but this doesn't mean I have withdrawn from being the voice of the everyday citizen. Check back often.

How do you think John Wasielewski’s announcement will affect your campaign? Initially, I was surprised when John told me he was considering entering the race, but that is one of the great benefits of living in a democracy: Choices. I am as committed now as I was when I announced my candidacy back in January to challenge our current Assemblyman. At that time my resolve to give my district a

Over the course of my campaign I will be focusing on these issues. You may have read them on other sites and other papers. These issues are not unique but part of the Republican platform and I agree with these issues and what needs to be done in the New York State Assembly.

How the party and electoral politics are changing: “Things are changing…the day of the white shirt, red tie, and blue suit are over…voters are looking to elect someone they can relate to.” This is what was said by GOP Chairman Mondello when he talked with reporters after his meeting with the county GOP Chairs. My decision to run for the assembly is based on my belief that our state government is

I am revising my last press statement with regards to the “Budget will hurt most New Yorkers.” It has come to my attention that I may have confused some of you. Allow me to clarify a few things. The fact that we have a 4.7% increase in spending, have roughly $4 billion deficit, and then to increase bank fees, credit card fees, health insurance premiums to pay for an inflated budget I find a bit

We need stricter penalties for sex offenders, especially the violent offenders. A 2-5 year confinement for a Level 3 offender isn’t sufficient. At Level 3, these are people who are viewed to offend again. My children can’t ride their bikes alone in the neighborhood we live in. Why? Because Watchdog.com and other websites like this enlightened me that we have sexual predators living right

"A proposed amendment to the state Constitution that would limit the growth of New York’s budget was passed last Wednesday by the Senate.The Senate Republican majority’s spending cap plan would prohibit a governor from submitting a budget that would increase spending by more than either 4 percent of the previous year’s budget or 120 percent of the consumer price index, whichever is less.

Obama tells vets no lower drinking age -- Page 1 -- Times Union - Albany NYI sympathize with the military because I too am a veteran. I firmly believe that if you are old enough to defend and die for our country then you should be able to have a beer.
