CAMPAIGN 2008 REFLECTIONS

The campaigns are over. Congratulations to the winners.
They have a solemn responsibility to put America before
party when governing. Our fate is in their hands.

My sincere thanks to those who helped me qualify for
the ballot as a candidate for Congress 21st District, and
to those who voted for me.

Those votes were, in fact, not for me, but, what I stood
for. The record of my campaign will remain in the archives
of this blog. Future events will bear testimony that I was
on the right track with my campaign priorities and positions.

Review my positions on the role of the next president,
national security, emergency/disaster preparedness
restoring the Erie Canal-Hudson River waterway and
rebuilding our railroad infrastructure, scrapping plans to
dredge Hudson River PCB's, reallocating those funds to
restoring/improving the aging water/sewer systems of
Albany, Troy and other local communities, and restablishing
the Watervliet arsenal's role as a major weapons manufacturer.

As the late, great Tip O'Neill once said: "all politics are local".
So, it is with survival and emergency/disaster preparedness
in a time of renewed Islamic Jihadism.

The Albany City elections of 2009 will be vital to our survival
to local emergency/disaster preparedness, to personal and
neighborhood security, to property taxes, to neighborhood
schools and to the maintenance/improvement of our
neighborhood and city quality of life.

This site will focus on City issues in 2009, but from time to
time, will comment on state and national conditions/events
when necessary.

Check it out, along with our neighborhood site, from time
to time. http://bpcnanews.blogspot.com/

Best wishes for Christmas and the New Year.
