Election Day 2011
Tuesday, November 8^th, 2011
Yonkers

Mikey Spano is 100% pro-abortion and supports the radical homosexual agenda. He switched to the Democrat Party to secure approval and support from Planned Parenthood & the approval and support of the Westchester Coalition for Legal Abortion (WCLA)! Planned Parenthood wants his sponsorship in Yonkers Schools, and they want his protection for their very profitable Getty Square mega-clinic.

Mikey Spano promoted and voted for homosexual marriage in the NYS Assembly denying us the right to vote on it as a state Constitutional Amendment. He will put the abortionists from Planned Parenthood in the Yonkers Schools and push the homosexual agenda in the schools masquerading it as "anti-bullying" and so-called "diversity" training. He will funnel City money into hiring their disciples and promoting their agenda.

Anybody but Sabatino!

Sabatino and his homosexual partner were the poster boys for homosexual marriage in NY State. They were everywhere: TV, Gannett's Journal News, Cable News12, NYC newspapers, in columns, on radio and the internet, promoting homosexual marriage, up until legalization. Now that Sabatino is a candidate, the media is cooperative and mum, his partner is hidden well out of the public eye, and Sabatino himself isn't broadcasting his record on this issue. But, Sabatino does have serious plans for Yonkers government and Yonkers school kids on his issues!

**Michael Meyer (R) is an active and energetic candidate who is believed to be pro-life.

Westchester County
Legislature

These races are important because the Democrats have a super majority in the County Legislature. This Democrat controlled legislature has attacked local zoning laws and expanded their legislative staffs by hiring an army of highly paid political cronies. In the recent past, they are responsible for increasing County taxes by 40% and they are the authors of the outrageous redistricting plan for county legislative districts, a plan so partisan that the League of Women Voters withdrew from participation in the process. They have initiated legislation to attack and curtail the first amendment rights of pro-life counselors and picketers, and they have found every conceivable way to fund their pro-abortion allies at Planned Parenthood and WCLA. And, they have refused to investigate the illegal and dangerous activities of these allied pro-abortion groups. There are seventeen (17) legislators on the County Board of Legislators, one (1) is pro-life. They are paid $50,000/yr. for a part time job and they receive up to $50,000/year in additional pay and benefits.

Vetting & Voting

Research Republican and "conservative" candidates in your district. Ask them if they are pro-life. If not, don't vote for them. No pro-life candidate? Then write your own name in! You're afraid to that? Then don't vote for that office, or, stay home! BUT be very, very, wary of New York Republicans.

Never forget Friday night June 24, 2011. That's the date the majority of the NY State Senate Republicans voted in caucus to allow homosexual marriage to come to a vote on the floor where they knew it would pass 33-29. Thus SEVENTEEN (17) or MORE state Republican Senators voted for homosexual marriage in New York State, and not the just the four (4) defectors you heard about on the news: McDonald, Alesi, Grisanti and Saland. Republican Senate leadership even conspired with the Democrats to silence the opposition, limit debate, and refused to let the Citizens decide the fundamental social and constitutional question about what constitutes a marriage through the amendment process. This is the state legislature dubbed the "worst and most dysfunctional legislature" among the 50 states.

Three senators who controlled leadership in the NYS Senate in recent years are either in jail or under indictment, and a fourth, our Hudson Valley Senator Vincent Leibell, was recently sent to jail. Such people can't be trusted with important moral decisions. Likewise, never forget that in NY it was a Republican Governor, a Republican controlled State Senate, a Republican controlled State Assembly, and a Republican State Judiciary that legalized abortion in this state with the nation's most liberal abortion law and ignited the fires of an unimaginable abortion tragedy in the United States.

* Sure you can try the Democrats, but you're unlikely to find a pro-lifer in the Democrat Party of Abortion. The ones we uncovered almost always turn on us, as Democrats have an ironclad pro-abortion litmus test.

** Even the liberal Court of Appeals (New York's highest Court) ruled that marriage in the New York State Constitution is defined as between a man and a woman.

(Leibell votes anti-life under pressure when his vote really counts.) Fact Sheet Governor Cuomo, like Paterson and Spitzer before him, intends to enshrine the protections of Roe v Wade into New York State law." The Governor believes that the Gonzalez v Carhart decision of the U.S. Supreme Court (April 18, 2007), which upheld a ban on partial-birth abortion, threatens the future of a "woman’s right to choose and her right to privacy." Concerns with the Governor’s Program Bill include: It seeks to establish a "fundamental right of privacy" within New York State law, encompassing the right to "choose or refuse contraception" and the right to "bear a child or to terminate a pregnancy," as if both "choices" were equally valid and worthy of support. As a "fundamental right," the state would have to take proactive steps to guarantee that abortion is available and protected. It seeks to ensure that abortions are legal throughout all nine months of pregnancy if they are deemed necessary to protect the life or "health" of the mother. Courts have interpreted the term "health" so broadly as to include social, economic and emotional distress factors, rendering the term meaningless. Current state law says abortions are legal in New York through 24 weeks of pregnancy (Article 125 Penal Law), but outlawed after that unless they are necessary to save a woman’s life. Because of flawed court decisions like Roe v. Wade, this law cannot be enforced, so abortion is already legal in New York through the third trimester of pregnancy for reasons of life or "health." The Governor’s plan ignores the state's legitimate interest in protecting the life of fully formed third-trimester children in the womb. It would allow post-viability abortions to be performed on an out-patient basis in clinics that go virtually unregulated by public health authorities, endangering both women and unborn children. Moreover, the Governor’s bill would not allow for the type of support facilities necessary to assist a baby who might be born alive in the course of an abortion. It would remove New York’s abortion-related laws from the criminal code and place them in the public health law, leaving regulation of abortion solely up to the medical profession. The elimination of all references to the homicide laws is part and parcel of a national abortion advocacy campaign that seeks to deny that abortion is the killing of a human being. It seeks to make abortion virtually immune from any state regulation or restriction. Reasonable regulations such as parental notification for abortions performed on minor children, informed consent for pregnant women regarding the risks and alternatives to the procedure, and restrictions on taxpayer funding would not be permissible under the Governor’s plan. Yet all such regulations are completely permissible under Roe v Wade and subsequent U.S. Supreme Court decisions, and a majority of states have enacted them. Thirty-five states require parental involvement in a child’s abortion decision, 32 states require counseling before an abortion is performed, and 32 states restrict Medicaid funding of abortion. It would repeal the requirement in current law that says only doctors can perform abortions. The Governor’s bill would allow any health care practitioner to perform the procedure: a dentist, nurse, podiatrist, social worker, physician assistant, chiropractor, midwife, even an optometrist. This dangerous and extreme change clearly puts women's health at risk, and mirrors a national abortion strategy to expand the scope of various health care practitioners to specifically include abortion. It seeks to eliminate conscience protection in current law by requiring every institution licensed or funded by the state – including religious hospitals, agencies and schools – to support abortion, provide coverage for abortion, or to perform abortions. The Governor’s bill declares that "the state shall not discriminate" against the exercise of the fundamental right to abortion in the "provision of benefits, facilities, services or information." It seeks to suppress all efforts to enact an "Unborn Victims of Violence Act" by refusing to recognize the unborn child as a second victim of the crime in cases of assault against pregnant women. The Governor’s bill would specifically label such crimes as causing "serious physical injury to the woman," refusing even to acknowledge the unborn, viewing him only as an appendage of his mother’s body. Moreover, the crime of "serious physical injury to the woman" would only apply if the child died as a result of the incident -- with no criminal penalty applied if an attacker caused serious but non-fatal injuries to the child. For the sake of pregnant women and their unborn children, the Governor’s Program Bill must be strongly opposed. August 2009

SAMPLE CORRESPONDENCE

Governor Paterson,

I am sick and tired of my money being used to kill innocent pre-born children. Your policy condones and subsidizes fetal girls and boys being torn limb from limb, burned alive by saline, painfully poisoned and asphyxiated by RU486, and partially born only to have their heads punctured and their brains sucked out. I demand that this be stopped. This blood bath is not what tax money is meant to accomplish. NY is broke.

Sincerely,
............
