Weekly Wrap-Up

Our President seemed like he would have preferred to be on vacation when he delivered his oval office address this week, instead of being truly protective of our brave Armed Forces.

Maybe he was thinking about his “Summer of Recovery” that will end this Labor Day weekend and frankly, while we all enjoy the summer, we cannot afford any more “Summer of Recovery” as the Periscope Post describes the real possibility of the “Autumn of Double Dip”. Despite the bad news on the job front, there is some good news in the latest numbers, and with polls showing the probability of new leadership in the House, the out of control spending that has hampered the recovery may well end.

Things here in New York State mirror the Nation. But we also have the ability to make a difference. Our Conservative Republican candidate for comptroller, Harry J. Wilson, issued a report this week that outlines the problems looming in the public pension system, while the current comptroller outlines on the state comptroller’s website how to “pad” your pension, while lamenting the short fall.

Election season is truly upon us, and as we start to focus on whom we should entrust with our lives, it is important to understand that many things influence how government is run. This article is a good insight on how just how lawyers in the legislature are making it easier for a “nanny state”.

Primary day is just a short 12 days away, and Rick Lazio has been at the forefront of educating the public about the Cordoba Mosque. Rick Lazio, like the Conservative Party, staunchly supports our First Amendment, but we also understands the history associated with Cordoba. And need to know more about who is behind the funding of it.

Enjoy the Labor Day Weekend!
