Video: “Cuomo Outrage!!” Rally/Press Conference

August 5, 2021by Phil Orenstein in Club News, Past Events, Video Blog

We held a rally and press conference on the steps of Queens Boro Hall in 2014 to protest King Cuomo’s despicable remarks that conservatives are not welcome in New York State. Remember when he said the following. Well, karma’s coming for him.

Who are they? Are they these extreme conservatives who are right-to-life, pro-assault-weapon, anti-gay? Is that who they are? Because if that’s who they are and they’re the extreme conservatives, they have no place in the state of New York, because that’s not who New Yorkers are.

Honorable Zellnor Myrie
New York State Senator
Chairman of Election Law Committee
Legislative Office Bldg. Room 903
Albany, NY 12247

Re: Revision of New York State Election Law Sec. 6-144 and update of New York City Board of Elections equipment and rules.  

Dear Senator Myrie,

Anita Uppal and I were candidates for Republican State Committee in the 24th Assembly District in Eastern Queens, NY running in the June 22nd Primary Election.

We met all the legal signature requirements and abided by the NYC Board of Elections petition rules, but our petition volumes were invalidated because both volumes were time-stamped with the same time in minutes. I am requesting a revision to update rules and equipment to include seconds in the appropriate section of New York State Election Law, and an evaluation of NYC Board of Election’s arcane rules, in order to achieve a more fair and honest election and ballot access process for candidates and voters alike.
