Open Letter to candidates and incumbents for New York elected office

Analysis: NYC mosque helps define guv candidates
Related Articles ALBANY (AP) If the divisive issue of whether a Mosque should be built a few blocks from Ground Zero is resulting in anything positive so far, it has given New York voters some clarity in choosing a Candidate for Governor. New Yorkers are watching as Republicans Rick Lazio and Carl Paladino wrap themselves in the flag while opposing the Mosque, while Democrat Andrew Cuomo wraps himself in the Constitution to support it. At a time of pressing issues including the continuing...

Bachelors For Link Forms To Support Alden Link, Libertarian Party Candidate For Lt. Governor Of New York
Bachelors often feel pressure to get married and to live a conventional lifestyle. Despite choosing to be "unattached", they often face ridicule and are the subject of "whispering campaigns" questioning their Sexual Orientation. We are proud to support Alden Link, the Libertarian Party's Candidate for Lt. Governor of New York State, who has socially tolerant views and a principled belief that people should be able to organize their lives as they see fit without private sanction or governmental...

Brew York, New York
This time of the year, I’m torn. The fall seasonal Beers are slowly but surely appearing on tap handles and shelves across New York, yet it’s still summer. I’m someone who constantly seeks change, so I’m tempted to recommend a pumpkin ale or Oktoberfest-style Beer. But seeing that a Heat Wave is on the way and summer is on its way out, I’d recommend grabbing one last summer seasonal before it disappears: Victory Brewing Company’s Summer Love . Brewed as a...

An Open Letter to Paul Krugman
Wealthy people are unlikely to spend every penny of their income immediately, so it is important for the Political Classes to get their hands on those funds, as governments will spend freely in the short run. Thus, from what I can tell, you believe that it is the Very Duty of Everyone to spend everything quickly, and since you are advocating such beliefs publicly, I would like to challenge you to practice what you preach. Here are some suggestions: I realize that you might be objecting by now....

Rick Warren: An Open Letter to Progressives
I understand the anger over Rick Warren’s selection to give the invocation at the inaugural. But what you aren’t getting is that Warren represents a large chunk of our country — Evangelical Christians who believe that The Bible prohibits Gay Marriage. I disagree with them. You disagree with them. I wrote extensively about how hurt I was to see the hateful Speech coming from them during the Proposition 8 campaign. That hurt hasn’t gone anywhere, but it seems unproductive...

The Politics of School Bullying (An Open Letter to the School Head/Parents)
It has come to my attention that my son is being bullied at school by a certain classmate of his, going by the name of “XX”. I do not know his last name. As early as the first few weeks of this school year, I have been consistently nagged by my son that this boy I have mentioned has been causing him too much “bother” — which, at first I did not take as anything harmful. I am a parent and have been a kid myself so I perfectly understand that such...

An Open Letter for a Media Request to the White House
As a local blogger that has operated in DC since April 2002, I think that I deserve a major break. I want to set major goals and make great breakthroughs on this blog. I want history to define Francwa Sims and his Anacostia Diaries as more than just another blog on the Internet. So I chose to aim my sights high. I have formally sent an media interview request to the White House via the "Contact the White House" page at Whitehouse.gov . I asked for an interview with President Obama. There are...

An open letter about illegal immigration
After listening to these two peoplea genuine sadness enveloped me. It was this minority woman — after declaring her love for this country -whokeenly stood before us and said, you have to make it your business. I had to agree with her that if I wanted Third World behavior — like selling food from their push-carts or outof a car trunk in my area — I’d move to a Third World country.No one talks about the Identity Theft occurring. No one talks about instant...

An Open Letter to Paul Krugman
I don't know if it's just fun for you to do this or if you're actually convinced by it or what, but your blog might benefit from working harder to connect 1. to 2.. As someone that reads Krugman, doesn't always agree with him (I actually disagree with him on this point - on the Bush Tax Cuts), but does think he regularly has very good insights, I often don't even have the inclination to comment on your posts (although I do read them whenever you link to Mises) because they...

Open Letter to Tom Tancredo from Colorado Liberty Groups
Many Coloradans and liberty movement individuals respect you for your courage and honorable service to this state. But, we ask what really has changed, and how your High Noon ultimatum issued July 22nd reflects the principles and values you have long stood for? This ultimatum seems out of character and completely contradicts the sage advice you offered us in an Open Letter on December 21, 2009 and reiterated again passionately at a joint 9-12 Project/Tea Party event on January 16, 2010 . We...

Tom Tancredo's open letter to Colorado's 912 activists and Tea Party patriots
I ask you to ponder the meaning of that headline. Not a single Republican voted for this federal takeover, a deceptive, pork-laden proposal that has been mislabeled, Health Care reform. And not a single Democrat voted against it. Some like Mary Landrieu of Louisiana and Ben Nelson of Nebraska were bought off by $100 million or $300 million bribes buried deep in the bill, while others simply bought into the despicable lies about the nations Health Insurance Industry. I need not belabor...

Open Letter to President Obama on Russian Human Rights Abuses
In recent weeks, attempts by Russian citizens to stage peaceful demonstrations were met with force and arrests.  Newspaper accounts report dozens of arrests.  In Moscow, the authorities arrested Boris Nemtsov, a former deputy Prime Minister and leader of the opposition Solidarity Russia movement whom you met during your July 2009 visit to Russia.  Video of the July 31 demonstration shows that authorities targeted Mr. Nemtsov while he calmly attempted to proceed to the...

Obama "The Worst President Ever" - Are You Kidding Me?
The hyperbole around election time has reached a fever pitch as Republican Candidates for the mid-term Elections focus on the source of the Democratic Party revival. Centering on the low poll numbers of President Barack Obama, ideologues are now trying to frame the Obama presidency as change the country can no longer afford. President Obama’s popularity Ratings are tied to the fortunes of a slow rebounding economy and the ethics investigations of a few members of the party. Anything the...

A Beer Geek's Guide to New York

Mr. OLeary, a self-proclaimed Beer geek who brews in his East Village apartment, generally avoids the reviews and tasting notes common on other Beer blogs.
