Joseph P Sullivan, Albany City Democrat, announced. today, that he will run for Congress in the 21st District, as a Conservative Democrat, in the September 9, 2008 Democratic Primary. Polls open Noon -9 pm.
To qualify for the ballot, requires obtaining 2,000, or more, valid signatures of enrolled Democrats, resident in the 21st Congressional District. Petitioning begins June 3 and petitions must be filed by July 10, 2008.
The 21st Congressional District spans 7 counties, including the cities of Albany, Amsterdam, Cohoes, Gloversville, Johnstown, Rensselaer, Schenectady, Troy and Watervliet, as well as the rural farmlands and small towns, in between, where it has been said, that angry, bitter people, who cling to their religions, and guns, do dwell.
Sullivan's campaign priorities are: (1) national security, (2) emergency/disaster preparedness, (3) securing our national borders, (4) dealing with the issue of tens of millions of illegal aliens who have violated our national sovereignty, (5) combatting terrorism overseas and at home, (6) safeguarding the Second Amendment Rights of law abiding Americans, (7) restoring law and order to urban streets, (8) rebuilding our cities and making them more livable, (9) returning to K- 8 urban neighborhood schools, (10) protecting family farms and viable farmlands, (11) promoting restoration of railroads, the Erie Canal, and Hudson River transportation infrastructure, (12) promoting use of coal, water, natural gas and wind energy resources to meet local needs, (13) promoting vehicle manufacturers producing vehicles with greatly improved miles per gallon gasoline capacities, (14) promoting redevelopment of the district manufacturing base, (15) expanding our military, naval and air capabilities to meet homeland security needs and overseas missions, which have become critical as a result of the War on Terror, and the need to ensure that sufficient, affordably priced oil be available to maintain our economy and way of life.
Sullivan reaffirms his belief in the sanctity of life. Sullivan supports English as the language of America. Being a loyal American transcends cultural diversity, race, ethnicity, religion, gender and sexual orientation issues which appear to have taken center stage in contests for public office, at all levels, in America today.
National security is the priority issue. If we are not safe, and if we cannot assure the continued availability of affordably priced oil, our economy will collapse , our way of life will disappear and our country will cease to exist. All the other issues being focused on in various local, state and national elections won't matter.

Sullivan, is retired and would rather stay home with his two, Australian Shepherds, Red Paddy and Spotted Mick. However, duty calls.
Sullivan is a U S Navy Veteran. Sullivan has a BS Degree in Geography(Wisconsin) attended on Korean GI Bill, and an MA Degree in Geography ( Minnesota) attended on a National Fellowship.
Sullivan and his wife, Margaret, live in Albany. They have four adult children: Joseph, Maureen, Timothy and Colleen. Joseph served a tour with Special Forces in Afghanistan, where he earned a Bronze Star, and other combat decorations. Timothy is a M/ Sgt, NYS Police, Maureen is a homemaker and mother of 3 boys. Colleen is in education.
If a qualified, conservative Democrat, who is a military veteran, wounded warrior, or widow or parent thereof, who shares Sullivan's views and priorities, emerges as a candidate in the 21st District, Sullivan would gladly step aside and support that candidate.
