It appears that Democrat, Sarah Anker has won the special election for the 6th legislative seat for Suffolk County, NY. A seat previously held by now Assemblyman Dan Losquadro.
With all districts now in, the unofficial tally has Sarah Anker beating her opponent, Martin Haley (Republican) by a little over 200 votes.
In a district that heavily favors Republicans over Democrats by 5,000 voters, it seems that by the latest tally, the Democrats GOTV over Republicans. Democratic voters cast 3,112 versus 2,212 Republicans according to the Suffolk County Board of Elections web site.
Rick Brand of Newsday wrote this of Haley,” Haley portrayed himself in campaign mailings as part of the "Levy team." But at the very end of the campaign, Haley had to face Levy's surprise announcement that he was not seeking re-election and was turning over his $4-million campaign fund to District Attorney Thomas Spota. Democrats put out last-minute mailings attempting to link Haley to Levy's downfall due to "questionable fundraising." This may have soured Republicans from showing up to the polls as well as Independents who did lag behind the Working Families Party.
This seat was once held by Martin Haley and perhaps voters wanted a fresh voice in this elective body. Sarah Anker was a former Mount Sinai school board member, and other positions such as an environmental and civic activist. She advocated for the creation of Heritage Park and helped block a Wal-Mart from taking over that space.
With cancer on people’s minds she founded the Health and Environmental Coalition to find links between breast cancer and the environment.
Who knows by these results, but it may be an early indicator of how voters feel with a Republican led House in Washington, D.C.

Letter to the Editor at Newsday regarding Nassau County's Bus System
By Mary MacElveen
March 19, 2011
Below is a letter to the editor at Newsday. In the event that they choose not to publish my letter, I am posting it here for all to read.
Dear Editor,
Let me just say that I was livid when ‘CensorThisOne’ responded to “On Nassau County’s plan to turn bus service over to a private operator”: when he/she wrote: “Dump the buses altogether. Will never make money and we will have to bail them out.” which was published on March 18th.
I suppose that this person drives. I have frequently posted in numerous places for politicians to go without cars for a week in order to make meetings, go to the doctors, go shopping and any other place they need to go. I have suggested that they use buses instead. You know, putting yourself in another’s shoes? At this point, I would suggest to ‘CensorThisOne’ do the same.
As far as bailing out, I would rather have my tax money go to help save a bus system that serves thousands upon thousands of people each day; namely the disabled or those who cannot afford to operate and own a car. These working class people need to get to work and without reliable buses; they can soon find themselves out of a job. I know for a fact that taking cabs is far too expensive. Perhaps this person would love to see a human being on the side of the road with a sign “Need a ride to work” and then just drive by them.
By the way, I have suffered from epileptic seizures since the age of 15 and I am now 52. I have never driven and must rely on public transportation in order to get to work. I have lashed out at Suffolk County Executive, Steve Levy when it comes to the bus system in Suffolk County, NY that does not operate on Sundays. There have been numerous Sundays that I have worked and must take a cab where the fare is more than my hourly wage.
Sincerely,
Mary MacElveen

Food stamp recipients can purchase cigs in NY while working citizens are taxed
By Mary MacElveen
September 27, 2010
In the past I have raged against the lawmakers in NY State, especially Gov. David Paterson for taxing and taxing smokers to fill in NY’s budget donut hole. I have been met with little sympathy as a smoker.
I want to clue my readers into this little known fact that welfare recipients who receive food stamps can purchase both cigarettes and alcohol on their food stamp account. How do I know this? I work as a grocery store cashier. I have witnessed food stamp recipients receive money back on their purchases in order to buy these items. Meanwhile, you and I the tax payers are paying for their habits.
As for me who works for a little over minimum wage must also pay for their habit, while NY State taxes my same habits. Something is terribly wrong within this state when food stamp recipients receive more than I get.
Two weeks ago, a person who used to work for the grocery store I work in got fired a year ago. He now receives food stamps and chose to take out $177 more from his account after his initial purchase. I then handed him the cash. What did he do with that money? He paid for cigarettes and alcohol. Yet, NY State wishes to tax hard working citizens instead of eliminating this loop hole within the food stamp program? This is not fair at all!
I call upon Governor David Paterson and all legislators within NY State to end the punitive tax on smokers and close the loop hole which allows food stamp recipients to purchase these products.
My opinion in how to do this is to not allow food stamp recepients to take out money that exceeds their transactions. Food stamp money should and must be used for food instead of cigs and alcohol period!

Yes, Christine O’Donnell, I am calling you stupid
By Mary MacElveen
September 22, 2010
On many occasions and especially after the primary success of Christine O’Donnell, I feel that American politics has become our new “Reality-TV” where the absurd reigns supreme. It is akin to the “Twilight Zone”
I once stated in a previous column honoring the late Sen. Paul Wellstone that each senator has the power over our lives and represents us within the U.S. Senate. With that said, if O’Donnell is elected senator, I feel that we the people will look into the abyss and ask our Delawarean citizens who voted for her: What have you done to this country? To that, my answer would be; you have made us a weaker country by electing a senator who has NO experience in government or the laws that join us together.
Cute sound-bites and activism within the sexual realm does not a senator make. One must have the fortitude of knowledge in order to be elected senator. Yes, Christine O’Donnell, I am calling you stupid.
As we live in a global society, I often wonder what our global citizens think of this upcoming election with a “Tea Party” insurgency within the Republican ranks. Either they are terrified of what is to come or they are shaking their heads thinking that America is stupid to elect anyone of these candidates.
As a former Republican, I do think that this new Republican Party is stupid to follow this “Tea Party” movement. While stupid, I do find they are opportunistic. They just want the votes and power. Let us NOT give it to them!
Chris Coons is clearly the better candidate for office since he does have governing experience as a County Executive. He has this experience since he oversees budgets, and the laws that join us as one. Yet O’Donnell gets the MSM coverage? How absurd is that? Coons does deserve to win and O’Donnell should be forgotten. Her fifteen minutes of fame should be over with right NOW!
Hey, even Wiccans speak out to clarify that they are not in bed with Satanists. There is a pun in there, but do not tell Christine…LOL!
Like Sharron Angle who ran from cameras, O’Donnell has chosen to go that route as well. Come on folks, what are they afraid of? They are afraid of we the people. They are afraid of answering the tough questions. They think that aligning themselves with this “Tea Party” movement they can play games with us and it is up to all of us to shut them down. It is up to we the people to shut the Republican Party down for marching lock step behind the “Tea Party” candidates. They are pure cowards.
One must ask these “Tea Party” candidates running for senate exactly what Senate Rule 51 is especially with the demise of Senate Defense Bill which contained the DADT amendment. Let us see what O’Donnell’s and Angles answer is to that question.
Okay, O’Donnell and Angle, you say you want to be senators, what process governs budget reconciliations? Come on and think. I as an American citizen know this answer, but do you?
Okay, okay, not to pick solely on the female candidates, but to all “Tea Party” candidates: What rule “determines that discussion of business requires secrecy, that a motion be made to close the doors and that it be seconded. The Presiding Officer of the United States Senate shall direct the galleries to be cleared; and during the discussion of such motion the doors shall remain closed.” Please remember this has everything to do with national security and not just some angry mobs seen on Fox News. By the way, the question in quotes, I will not tell you where I picked it from since you should already know that if you are qualified to be a United States Senator.
As I look back on the angry town halls that took place a little over a year ago, I look to my fellow Americans to attend any town hall or NOW and ask these candidates: What qualifies you to become my new senator or congress member? Let them not get off the hook by citing that masturbation is evil or that women should not serve in the military especially when women have died in service to this republic.
To Christine O’Donnell, you have espoused beliefs that women should not serve in the military, try telling that to this female soldier whose face was burned off shaking hands with Denzel Washington: http://tinyurl.com/28sz8wu. This female soldier unlike you is the ultimate patriot.

Hawaii Five-0: New actors who look to make this show their own
By Mary MacElveen
September 20, 2010
While I am a summer person, one thing that comes in the fall is the new procedural dramas that are aired on many networks. I love sitting down, chilling and getting involved in the myriad of characters, plots and yes, the actors.
A few weeks ago when working, I was checking out the magazines on my check-out line at work and saw that a new “Hawaii Five-0” was to be aired on CBS via the “TV Guide”. I knew this long before that via YouTube.com. I checked out the YouTube.com feed and loved IT! New actors and how this new team became this unit.
One actor in particular caught my eye and he is, Alex O'Loughlin who once played one HOT vampire for one season on CBS's “Moonlight”. For the life of me, I could not understand why CBS canceled this show, but hey, Alex is back. YES! Alex is a British actor who is able to come off as an American actor similar to Hugh Laurie of Fox Television’s “House”.
I swear if one did not know these facts, one wouldn’t believe it.
These new actors did not look to replace the characters on the original series, but make these characters their own set within today’s parameters. Those parameters are terrorism and human trafficking within the opening show.
All day long as I spoke to co-workers and customers alike, I psyched them and me into watching this new program. Even the opening credit theme tune stuck in my head. I even hummed a few bars. Let’s leave it at that…LOL!
For those of you, who have not yet watched the opening credits to this show as well as its theme, please go to http://tinyurl.com/2unngvb within the credits you will see a familiar actor, Daniel Dae Kim who played on ABC's "Lost". While on “Lost” he may have been lost, in this new model of “Hawaii Five-O” he is anything but lost as he finds a new purpose in his life.
All I can say is that this new show is as action-filled as the one many grew up with that aired in the sixties. I truly hope that you check it out next Monday on CBS at 10 PM ET. Oh yes, hum the theme song as many times as you wish. It will certainly get you in the mood.

You, Sarah Palin are the nuclear weapon in playing tinder-box politics
By Mary MacElveen
April 8, 2010
This is a short, editorial directed at Sarah Palin (the darling of the tea party movement). When it comes to nuclear issues, you had best know a thing or two of the subject instead of tea-party talking points.
When President Barack Obama was asked of your critique where you stated, “it was like a child in a playground who says 'punch me in the face, I'm not going to retaliate.” The only thing I came away with was how juvenile the tone when nuclear issues are anything but juvenile. Just ask any survivor of Hiroshima or Nagasaki how they would react to such an opinion. Please remember history correctly where we were the ONLY nation to have used a nuclear device on any enemy.
President Barack Obama was correct to answer in an interview with George Stephanopoulos: "I really have no response to that. The last I checked, Sarah Palin is not much of an expert on nuclear issues,"
Sarah, Sarah, Sarah, you may wish to ask Senator Dick Lugar a member of your own party who worked with then Senator Barack Obama in lessening the number of loose nukes from this planet. I would consider him far more learned than you.
As any American knows and who follows the procedures of the White House, namely the president: Each day the president is given a full briefing of by the director of National Security. Are you, Sarah Palin or any of us privy to what he (Pres. Obama) is briefed on daily? Come on, Sarah are you in the Oval Office on a daily basis to offer any opinion on the subject? Even I or those who know more of this dangerous subject are not there. So, what gives you the right to even opine of this topic when you know nothing of it at all?
The dangerous topic that does concern me greatly as well as others is the topic of domestic terrorism as you continue to stoke the fires of hate. You continually play tinder-box politics as I have written of previously during the 2008 presidential campaign. When you say words such as “reload” or place cross-hairs on congressional districts as we come upon the anniversary of Oklahoma City, it is in the fore-front of my mind.
Quite frankly, Sarah, I am not terrified of Islamic Extremists, but of domestic terrorism. You know, your new friends.
You, Sarah Palin are the nuclear weapon that may have the force to take out innocent lives since those without a full understanding of any topic especially this one can carry out your hellish mission. Hopefully the saner amongst us will turn away from your message(s). To me, you are truly a national security danger to us all.

Open Letter to Cong. Tim Bishop who voted yes on HCR
Dear Congressman Tim Bishop,
When I first met you, you asked how you could best serve the people in your first election. Well through your yes vote on health care reform you actually listened. This vote cast by you is life affirming since I do believe it will save lives. I know we differ when it comes to abortion, but frankly as a person who hates abortion, I am so sick of abortion being used as a primary issue to divide this nation. Where are my pro-life brethren when it comes to killing innocent people through war in both Iraq and Afghanistan? They are silent! As I witnessed our country’s first strike on Iraq known as “Shock and Awe”, I thought of all the innocent children who would be killed. Even the late Pope John Paul II said to former President George W. Bush, “You go without God”.
As I have witnessed the terrorism pushed forth by the opposition, what it tells me is that they who I thought were my brethren when it came to being anti-abortion were anything but. Their violence told a much different story. Little do they realize that their words have consequences and those consequences being the possibility to end human lives.
In the upcoming house elections, I as a person who is staunchly anti-abortion will side with you in helping to re-elect you as my congressman. It is my hope that you pass this email sent to you onto Congressman Bart Stupak who has received death threats. When that congressman, Rep. Randy Neugebauer (R-Tex.) shouted out “baby killer” when Rep. Stupak was addressing the House, little does, Neugebauer realize how many babies were killed in our illegal invasion of Iraq. Little does Neugebauer realize how many babies are losing their lives in Afghanistan.
I have seen pictures of death through war and abortion and quite frankly, I do not see the difference. Hopefully women can receive better preventive care so that they will not have to make any decision to end a human life. That is something that the right-wing-nuts are not thinking of at this given time.
As one of your constituents, I thank you for voting yes to this health care reform bill which President Barack Obama signed into law. The unborn of this land will only reap the benefits since their moms will be afforded better medical care. How great is that?
Sincerely,
Mary MacElveen
