Dear Friends,

 

I have exciting news and a request for your help.

 

As you are probably aware, I have decided to  “look at my options and explore the possibilities" of making a run at Senator Bruno’s seat in the 43rd District.

 

I wasn’t planning on running for any office this time around. But with Senator Bruno’s retirement, an opportunity has been handed to us that we can't let slip away.

 

When I heard about Sen. Bruno’s decision, I began exploring the feasibility of collecting petition signatures — the first requirement to run. Early Tuesday, I started calling people who could advise me, as well as offer tangible support. The reaction has been encouraging. I will be getting some help with signatures around the district, which extends from Moreau through Clifton Park, Rensselaer and Troy, and to many other communities near the Massachusetts border and as far south as Schodack and Nassau. I will continue enlisting support today and tomorrow.

 

We also must do our part here in Saratoga. I know many of you have been circulating petitions already. I’m asking you for just a bit more effort to make this happen. We have until July 10 and I know we can do it.

 

“Every hour that passes is an hour wasted.”  I've already started walking and I'll be out there this weekend, along with others.  I'm asking for your help.  I'm really excited about taking this on and want you all to join me.

 

You can pick up my petitions, Democratic walk sheets and instructions at:

Ron Kim’s law office

36 Long Alley

(the alley just behind the Post Office on Broadway)

 

or on my enclosed front porch:

41 Benedict Street

 

If it will help, we can also drop off materials. Call or email. You can work Farmer’s Market and the upcoming July 4 events too. If you have contacts in Ballston Spa, Malta, Milton, Round Lake, Clifton Park, South Glens Falls, Stillwater, Hoosick Falls or in the Troy area, please consider enlisting them and getting us their info.

 

Let us know that you're in! Conctact Brucie by email, brucie@brucierosch.com or phone, 583-2767.

 

Thank you again for your support and friendship,

 

Valerie

 

Jewish Support for Obama in the wild

This picture is a Toyota Prius with a Hebrew Obama sticker in the middle of Elmhurst, Queens. I have no idea why an orthodox jew from New Jersey came to a neighborhood that is known for its diversity (with the omission of our semitic friends) but maybe he was visiting his Chinese, Columbian or Indian brother-in-law.







Along with this picture we have Bloomberg pushing Obama in Boca Roton, FL; Isac Weinberger on the Politicker stating why he is strongly supports Obama

John McCain advertising on QueensCourier.com

When you are so far behind in fundraising to your opponent, you should waste money in States there is no possible chance of winning, and congressional districts without Republican challengers to boot.

Good Job, John McSame!

Como's sliver of a win in a special election

The unusual reaction of the Queens GOP that Como nearly getting beat by a less than adequate candidate whose only attribute to the campaign whose her last name and the familial obligation that the Queens Democratic Chairman felt towards her, was that if Liz Crowley can't win a Special Election as a Democrat in 30th City Council District then there is no way that Addabbo cannot possibly Beat Serf Maltese.

Baldeo without any money, any endorsements, simply with voter enrollment in his favor came several 100 votes away from knocking Maltese off in 2006. It would be hard to argue that Republican Brand in Queens has improved in the last 2 years, and with Obama at the top of the ticket there will be a large Democratic turnout. Addabbo will have as much money as he needs, Malcolm Smith will make sure he as much, if not more, feet on the ground than Crowley recieved for the special election. New York City Democrats are a little embarassed to have 3 republican State Senators that do not represent the Republican bastion of Staten Island (2 of the 3 in are in Queens).
