GET BACK TO WORK STATE SENATE!!!!!

As Tuesday rolls by and government laws need to be implented while a divided government sits in Albany, Bronx Community Board 7 says below:

Dear Members of the NYS Senate,

On the behalf of the members, residents, businesses, and students in Bronx Community Board 7, we respectfully urge you to heed the Governor’s call to convene the Senate and conduct the business of the people. There is too much at stake to allow partisan and personal agendas to take precedence over the needs of millions of New Yorkers. New Yorkers are struggling with the effects of increasing uncertainty in our economy, in our homes, and in our schools. Compounding these stresses, by adding the uncertainty of the direction of our own government, exasperates the aforementioned and demonstrates callousness for the plight of the people.

We plead the people’s case once again, the same people who you are charged in representing as our Senate, and advise for their benefit that you vote and act on those matters before you today. Thank you.

Sincerely,

Gregory W. Faulkner Fernando P. Tirado

Chairman District Manager

Richard Soto for Pedro Espada-Part 2?

Tuesday Night, at 8PM on Bronxnet TV Channel 67, "Perspectives", host Darin Jamie will ask Richard Soto, Anthony Rivieccio and others to discuss the status of the State Senate and Democrat/Independent/Republican Perdo Espada.

At a recent taping (below) Mr Soto stated that Mr Espada was "Shaking up the money tree for Minorities"

Another Bronx Democrat Turned Republican?

While this story will be featured on the July 2nd 2009 issue of The Bronx News Newspaper, we thought we would give you a sneek peek first.

Ms Yudelka Tapia, 14th City Council Candidate has assused another candidate, Mr Fernando Caberra of being a 10 year closet Republican. According to her, Westchester County Documents show that he has been a registered Republican for 10 years and just recently both; moved into the Fordham/Kingsbridge neighborhood and changed affilation to Democrat.
Above is a picture of the last sunday press conference she held at Mr Cabreea's alleged home in Pelham New York

ANOTHER ESPADA?

WOW...............Now Bronx District Attorney Johnson is looking into a 2008 Campaign complaint from a Rafael Martinez that he was "roughed up" by what he calls "Espada goons".

Neverthless, we cheer Attorneys Cuomo and Johnson looking into both this charge and his alleged residency charge (click here)

caught shifting monies from new district to old?



State Senator Pedro Espada according to The New York Times attempted on 3 occasions to divert monies to other areas of The Bronx that do not represent his NEW AREA. On the first 2 occasions, the diversion was going to his OLD AREA, SOUNDVIEW.

HEY PEDRO, its 201st & Perry Ave, Bedford Park Bronx, you live there, remember?


read the article here
http://cityroom.blogs.nytimes.com/2009/06/09/before-defecting-espada-sought-2-million-for-bronx-groups/

Its Politically Hot All Right!



Amazing. Amazing Amazing Amazing. I truly wonder, even if Mr Pedro Espada wanted to , could he find his own "alleged"apartment if he was driving on his own

Since Summer of 2008, the historic day that the Bronx Democratic Leadership on The Grand Concourse changed hands, we screamed out and warned them. we told them the in adeptness of their campaign planning (non residents covering neighborhood areas) for the 33rd State Senate District was a sham and "not to leave us' after they created this mess in the first place.

Well everyone has responded.




The NEW Bronx Democratic Leadership- is still placing non resident clubs to represent communities.
Former Ally's? The Committee of 100 Democrats will not join Liberty Democratic Association quest in representing West Side Communities any longer
The Community-THIS WAS the reasoning for the birth of this club
And neighbors-Yes Boogiedowner is a proud neighbor of our wonderful West Side Bedford Park community and she speaks with "real hard tongue" about our invisible Senate President (where the barf bag)

Down below are earliest posts if you want to see a sad political horror story-in motion. We wish NEW Chair Carl Heastie the very best in attempting to resolve this Bronx Crises. More importantly, PLEASE SPEAK TO THE COMMUNITY FIRST!

Good People Bring Out Good Government


On Tuesday, June 9th, The Committee of 100 Democrats, the Ben Franklin Club and North Bronx Democrats have endorsed:

Mayoral Candidate: William Thompson Public Advocate: Eric Gioia Councilman: 11th District: G. Oliver Koppell

'Let me be clear. this is our hardest endorsement. Anthony Cassino has been a great neighbor as chairman of Community board 8. His neighborhood passion, like many of our members, is inspiring, but the real problem is Anthony did not ask the leadership in Bedford Park, Norwood or van Courtland to help-he asked my friend-Founder of Liberty Democratic Association, a wonderful EAST SIDE club to represent this WEST SIDE area. Our Councilman, Oliver Koppell is a prime example of what we call "30 years of political gerrymandering" gone haywire but to his great credit, has been accessible and helpful in our area since 2001. There will be a new day- one day-and then and only then-will Anthony Cassino be of the most highest of consideration".

Anthony Rivieccio
Bedford Park Director


Ricky Martinez, Chairman
Committee of 100 Democrats

Break Up---To Make UP???




Yes, its the old song-that sometimes over time-has just the same strength as the original.

In 2004, our affiliate North Bronx Thinktank gathered many Bedford Park, Norwood & Riverdale residents and re-formed the Committee of 100 Democrats.
From 2004 to 2006 The Committee participated and was successful in over 10 North Bronx campaigns. In 2007 many members broke up for several reasons and separated into many different community and political nucleus es.

On Saturday, May 23rd, The Executive members of the Committee and Northwest Bronx Liberty Democratic Club have formed a "partnership' in which we call; For the Spirit of Good Government" in the North west Bronx areas from Fordham to Van Courtland.

Can this partnership work? Are we dreaming???
