80th Assembly District-A Party with No Conflict!


Mr Mark Gonjaj at Bronx Puerto Rican Day Parade

We have a lot of love & respect for Assemblyman Jose Rivera! See, most of our Club members, like Mr Rivera are "oldtimers:" that we believe gives us the extra right to stand up and demand that we, as Bronxites" deserve better services.

That was the message in 1982 , when he was representating The South Bronx as an Assemblyman! Today, 30 years later, in the 78th Assembly District, where he runs for re-election, he feels no different today.

Naomi Rivera, his daughter has not been able to "conjure up" the same magic as her father. Sadly, she has been with a deadlocked Bronx Democratic Electorial Boards in which many have called "hypocritical " since 2006.

We left our Executive position in 2006 with The Club "Liberty Democratic Association" because of this reason. Executive Board Member of LDA, Diane Cerino has NOW LEFT as well and joined The Mark Gonjaj Campaign.

We were asked and retained by Mark to provide petition assistance for him and The NWB Gremlins got him over 1400 Signatues in Norwood and the surroundinfg communities. Because Mark received over 4200 total - this 35% increase shows that Norwood is ready for New & Non Conflicting representation.

It is no secret that Mr Kenny Agosto, District Leader of The 80th and running WITH Naomi Rivera, along with The LDA Slate, has been having a hard time ALL OVER THE DISTRICT-justifying his decision for NOT RUNNING against Naomi despite promising the Club on 2 occasions (including fundraising events) that he would.

I DONT KNOW! What Do You Think? Collusion   or Dis-olution? 

78th Assembly Race-Cancer, Backstabbing & Outsiders!!!


From Left: Ricky Martinez, State Committeeman 78th AD, Mr Anthony Rivieccio, NWB Dems President
 Congressman Jose' Serrano & Kenny Agosto, District Leader 80th AD

If you notice anything about our 25 yr old friend Ricky, its that he has not been 100% well. In case you do not know, he has cancer.

Some have asked Ricky, since last year, to step down from his State Committee ship and he has constantly said that he will not and try to do his best to represent Mr Jose Rivera, The Current Assemblyman,  when he can not be at neighborhood events.

To Mr Martinez Credit, we know firsthand, he has tried his best to make as many as possible.

Over the last 6 months, Mr Martinez was scheduled to run with Mr Jose Rivera AGAIN on the same 2012 Democratic Party Ticket,  as in 2010 , but Mr Martinez refused at the Bronx Puerto Rican Day Parade.

it was widely speculated at that time that with re-districting JUST taken place and Councilman Joel Rivera (his son) just being added into the Assembly District, that Jose will step down, in 2013, and give the seat to his son.

While many news reporters, including Robert Press of The Bronx News, continue to report that story, we can say first hand, that we encouraged Mr Martinez to speak with Assemblyman Rivera, firsthand, about this-AND YES, FIRSTHAND, MR MARTINEZ Confirmed that NO DECISION WAS MADE ON THIS MATTER. Nevertheless, Mr Martinez decided to run for the Assembly Seat AGAINST Mr Rivera!

When Mr Martinez approached NWB Democrats for assistance in petitions our first reaction was mixed. Then Mr Martinez stated, "I need to run for this seat. I always wanted to run for this seat. This decision is between me & my GOD".

WE DID NOT ARGUE-WE TOOK THE PETITION JOB AND NOW RICKY AWAITS THE DECISION BY THE COURTS.

We can state that Ricky brought in over 2200 Signatures total (we assisted in 1200)

Sadly, however, Ricky has decided in shutting down campaigning. Some believe that his health has taken a recent turn for the worse. Campaign Manager Richard Soto mentioned being recently in "chemo". OUTSIDER , Mr Press, also Vice Chair of The Committee of 100 Democrats, has suggested to Ricky to "challenge" Mr Rivera petitions.

And WOW, The argument is interesting.



Mr Press & Mr Soto have stated that Mr Martinez has asked Mr Rivera to be taken off his petition because of the NEW competitive nature of the race. A you will see by the picture below: Ricky IS ON Assemblyman Rivera's petition.
Was it an oversight?
Does it make the petitions invalid?
Can Jose just take Ricky off?
Did Bronx County set up "Assemblyman Rivera"?

We know with wonderful Bronx reporters that we have on hand we will not comment as they start to write up "As The Bronx Turns" soap opera reviews (Mr Press is underneath)

But our short opinion: Were not election law experts. Obviously they were changed, as we see Joel WAS PUT on The ballot, as State Committeeman, after Ricky's conversation with the Assemblyman.

Now, I think the real question is: was it County's mistake or Jose's trusty Asst, Jasmine? Does Patrick Jenkins (County) or Jasmine deserve a big hit in the *tussy* if this error was made on their watch-YES_ but we think this minor error should not invalidate the petition.

LET THE PROCESS OF VALIDATING THE PETITIONS & CAMPAIGNING MOVE FORWARD!!!

Phase 1-Petitions




Yes Ladies & Gentleman

NWB Democrats & The Gremlins are backkkkkkkkk

And what hard work for Phase 1 on the campaign trail.

We call "Petitioning" Phase 1.

We were retained by The Candidacy's of: Ricardo Martinez, in The 78th Assembly District and Mr Mark Gjonaj in The 80th Assembly District. Over The Course of 5 HARD WEEKS, we received over 2500 signatures for both candidates.

Over the course of those weeks, we need to congratulate our "A TEAM" of gremlins: Hakim, Hubert & Stephen while our "B Team", Diana, Derek& Norma Jean canvassed flyer's and posters and even our "C" Team, as; Joe, Stevie and other cheered them on as we worked OUR ASS OFF!!!

THIS IS NOT A SIGN OF ENDORSEMENT-THIS IS A SIGN OF HAVING TO PAY THE RENT AS WE WERE RETAINED BY BOTH CAMPAIGNS!!!

Robert Press-Just Starting a 78th Assembly District Mess

IF ANYONE IS AWARE OF OUR CONTINUING MESSAGE ON OUR BLOG-IT IS THAT WE DO NOT LIKE OUTSIDERS (of any kind) GOING INTO NEIGHBORHOODS PLAYING POLITICS!!!


Assemblyman Jose Rivera, Vice Chair of 100 Democrats Robert Press
& Chairman of 100 Democrats Ricardo Martinez

Now in The Northwest Bronx, After the demise (by The Community) of Pedro Espada, Vice Chair of The Committee of 100 Democrats & Riverdalian Robert Press (The Committee supported Espada) wants to take over Ricky Martinez Campaign. Actually Ricky is letting him!

He believes, and stated in a recent conversation, that he believes Mr Press and The Committee can guide him better than "NWB Democrats" and "Rising Voices", led by Richard Soto.

After these "scathing attacks" on Assemblyman Rivera, we have notified Mr Martinez & Mr Soto that we WILL NOT ENDORSE any campaign, run by outsiders!

While NWB Democrats was proud to assist in Phase 1 of the Campaign, bringing in over 1200 signatures.  we will NOT assist in ANY Phase 2 activities unless Robert Press is removed as Campaign Chair due to his media attacks and continual conflicts of interest. Some examples of his sloppiness are below and sadly published in The Bronx News Publications.



GET OUT-RICKY WENT OUT WITH NAOMI?

OMG-A PETITION PROBLEM-FOR JOSE' RIVERA?!

Is Jose really gunning after Ricky on The Petition Ballot?

Phase 2-Richard Soto
              86th Assembly Candidate

While we do not doubt the good and hard work that Assemblyman Nelson Castro has maintained in The Tremont Section of the Bronx in the last 10 years, we do know that it has been hard for him to maintain relationships.
First-He opposed Bronx County-Now he loves them
First He Hated Pedro Espada-Then 2 yrs ago-He Loved him
He Hated Yudelka Tapia-now-He Loves her!

But Richard "The Invisible Man" Soto
The Star of Rising Voices-since 1992 has been on "quite a mission" lately, trying to become a "de-facto" County leader, by actively supporting over 5 Assembly & Senate Candidates. Along with his Meal tickets, Manny Tavarez & Ricardo Martinez, we actually believe that Richard might FINALLY HAVE his real dream realized-THE RE-INSTITUTION of The Committee of 100 Democrats.

So While this will be a hard won to call for the Communities of South Fordham, we do believe it is a WIN WIN.

Yudelka wants to represent-while Nelson already is-and we believe-that Richard & Manny, if elected , would continue to do the same.

SADLY YOU DO NOT HAVE TO BE A GENIUS TO SEE WHAT THE REAL PROBLEMS ARE ON SOUTH FORDHAM

But To Mr Nelson's Castro's Credit
Some in The Neighborhood DO CONSIDER HIM A PIONEER ALREADY

One might ask us in The 86th Assembly District (From Tremont to Fordham) why Manny Tavares? Why, such a rookie!

We hoped Mr Gustavo Rivera would be such a hope to The NWBronx to replace Mr Pedro Espada.? Then, he decided to go on a diet and took The Whole NWBronx with him!.

Is it Obeseity? Is it laziness? Is it important? Is it important for a State Senator?

Couple that with, now, according to the State Legislators' new re-district lines-Mr Rivera NO LONGER represents the upper NorthWest Bronx

Thus, we believe, that a new choice, Mr Manny Tavarez, might be better suited for "fresh ideas" that a Southern Bronx District really needs!
