New York's Cleansing Coup - WSJ.com

By Rus Thompson | 06/22/09

Great article and an eye opener in many ways. This morning on WBEN Antionne Thompson said “This illegal takeover of the senate”, illegal? The democrats took this to court and the judge threw it out, I think he spends to much time in Brooklyn, or it’s the sound byte just to keep pounding home. Once a lie is said often enough it become the truth. Now we are watching the collapse of the senate, why? Golisano the man in... read more »

While in sole power, Dems hiked Senate pay a quick 5%

By Rus Thompson | 06/22/09

Will we tolerate this anymore? Seems they forgot all about the Senate staffing offices across the state and one million each employing people like Mesi and Grelick. On top of this outrageous budget and payroll we also have $78 million in member items with $200,000 going to ACORN/Working Families Party. In reality we, that’s right US, are paying a political party to work against the people. What a disastrious government we are stuck... read more »

Summit on Senate Impasse Is Planned at Sharpton’s Office

By Rus Thompson | 06/22/09

Two things in this article really grabbed me and they were in the comment section and the article. A strike? A strike if they don’t get the leadership straightened out? Why? What they hell does this have to do with union hacks? Why go on strike? It makes no sense whatsoever. A strike would be unproductive and illegal as far as I know. A source has told me that the labor leaders are being included in the “emergency... read more »

Public Statement on Recent ACORN Whistleblower Retaliation

On behalf of the National Board of the ACORN 8, we are all saddened by and express great concern due to the ACORN court action filed against whistleblower Anita Moncrief. While we do not express an opinion on the merits of ACORN complaint; we as reform advocates decry the tactic of suing whistleblowers especially, low to moderate income people who do not have the financial means to effectively fight back in courts of law. Moreover, this is... read more »

By Rus Thompson | 06/19/09

Grand Island toll collector seeks reduced charge in e-mail threats

By Rus Thompson | 06/19/09

Reduced charge? I don’t think so. ACD? NO! If this had happened in the private sector he would have been fired no questions asked. Not in NY where union employees are protected. The Grand Island toll collector in hot water over allegations he sent threatening e-mails to an anti-toll activist is seeking to have aggravated harassment charges against him reduced. Terry Brennan, the attorney for toll collector David Zelonis, 52, filed... read more »

ACORN NY Working Families Party Endorsements

By Rus Thompson | 06/18/09

OK, here is the list of who ACORN has endorsed for the union thug racist candidates. If you live in their district then campaign against them. Expose then for who they are.

This group of racist thugs support everything that is destroying the economy of Western... read more »

A fly on the Wall inside the Senate Leadership meeting

By Rus Thompson | 06/17/09

How many times have you said, I wish I could be a fly in a room just to see what was said. Well I wasn't a fly in the Senate Leadership meeting but I do know what went on. Four leaders from both sides were involved, the four Republicans were from the four corners of the state as it should be. N,S,E and W.... Spreads the leadership correctly. The four Democrats represented in the leadership were all from New York City. One Republican... read more »
