Will New York State be a Beacon for Women?
This time we are living in is much like a game of Three Card Monty.
It is easy to be distracted. While we focus our attention on Trump, we are taking our eyes off of Albany.
Right now, 8 rogue Democrats who are more concerned with personal power than party and principle, have aligned themselves with the Party of Trump. They call themselves the “Independent Democratic Conference” (IDC) but they govern with the Republicans. The IDC has deliberately turned the duly elected majority party, the Democratic Party, into the Minority Party, and have catapulted the Party of Trump, the Republican Party, into the majority. Because of these 8, our New York State Senate is failing to do the business for which they were elected. (Sounds complicated, but it’s not. They sold their constituents out for personal gain.)
The agreement between the IDC, and the Party of Trump is that they will only bring up those items that both groups want to come to the floor – in other words, a Republican agenda.
Please understand, the Republicans, despite being in the minority, rule in Albany. Nothing that the Republican leadership does not want to come to the floor of the Senate, ever sees the light of day. And that includes women’s reproductive autonomy and Making New York State a Reproductive Rights Sanctuary.
BUT THEY KEEP THIS A BIG DARK SECRET FROM THEIR VOTERS. We must pull back the curtain and expose them for who they are. Governor Cuomo must demand that these 8 rogue Democrats caucus with the party to which they were elected.
These 8 rogue Democrats are single-handily stopping New York State from being a beacon in a very dark storm. Call them and Demand they return to the Democratic Caucus, to which their constituents elected them- Click Here.
The New York State Senate must stand with Lady Liberty and welcome all those who come to our state, whether crossing the country for reproductive care or from another land. We cannot be that beacon to the weary if the 8 rogue Democrats continue to caucus with the Party of Trump in Albany producing a Republican agenda.
Help us make them return to the caucus to which their constituents elected them.
