WILLIE COLÓN ENDOSA A ROB ASTORINO PARA GOBERNADOR

WILLIE COLÓN ENDOSA A ROB ASTORINO PARA GOBERNADOR
 

September 26th, 2014 

WILLIE COLÓN ENDORSES ROB ASTORINO September 25th, 2014 I am a democrat… Mi gente, it happens every time. We vote and work to get our democratic candidate elected and after they win. They forget their promises.  There is little or no access. Trying to meet with them is like having an audience with the Pope.  Probably easier with his holiness. Why? Because the Latino vote is a joke. Democrats know we don’t even think about swinging to the other candidate. That’s out of the question because it’s evil; because you’re a traitor if you vote for the republican. So, no matter how bad the democrat is, even if he’s going to jail; we still have to vote for them. How smart is that?  Once elected they totally change on us and deal with us with contempt and rule with impunity because:  1.) you already voted for them.  2.) Next time around you’ll do exactly the same thing again. Elections are about US and what WE need not about the party. We want ALL elected officials and candidates from ALL parties to come to come to us, to covet our vote. To make that happen, we have to vote smarter; we need to vote for the candidate that meets OUR needs. Latinos have to become a swing vote.  In this case, personally, I like the man; he’s a decent man who’d make an excellent governor.  He’s the Westchester county exec which is not chopped liver, 450 square miles and about a million population 17% are Latinos. Rob Astorino doesn’t come from a royal family or political dynasty. He doesn’t think his family was born to rule.  He went to school at Fordham University in the Bronx. He has a BA in Communications and before he went into politics, became one of the founders of ESPN radio. He belongs to AFTRA -AMERICAN FEDERATION OF RADIO & TV ARTIST, like me. He’s got religion; he’s started the Catholic Channel on Sirius Radio. I met him last year and he came across as a sane, humble, confident man.  He didn’t just realize a couple of months ago that he needed to speak Spanish to get votes! (And come with a couple of phonetically memorized phrases; sounding like Frank Perdue) He studied the language from way back because he wanted to; because he admires and respects our culture.  Rob Astorino, right now, has one of the most diverse administrations in the state. That says a lot about how he would run our state government. We don’t need somebody with tons of money; deep pockets, that hides, throws a barrage of negative commercials and not even bothers to show up for a debate. We don’t want somebody that starts a crime commission and obstructs it when it starts to head his way. At this election, at this time, I’m voting for Rob Astorino for the next governor of the Great State of New York and I urge all Democrats and Latinos to join me.

    

Soy demócrata… Mi gente, esto sucede todo el tiempo; votamos y trabajamos para que nuestro candidato democrático sea elegido y después de que ganen se olvidan de sus promesas.   Hay poco o ningún acceso. Tratando de de tener un vista es como tener una audiencia con el Papa.   Probablemente más fácil con su santidad.

 

¿Por qué? Es que el voto latino es un chiste. Los demócratas saben que ni siquiera pensamos en girar hacia el otro candidato. Esto queda fuera de la cuestión, porque es el malo; porque eres un traidor si votas por el republicano.

 

Así que, no importa lo malo que el demócrata sea, hasta si va a la cárcel; todavía tenemos que votar por ellos.

 

¿Qué tan inteligente es eso?   Una vez elegidos cambian totalmente y nos tratan con desprecio y gobiernan con impunidad porque: 1) ya votaste por él   2.) La próxima vez volverá hacer exactamente lo mismo.

 

Las elecciones se tratan de nuestras necesidades y no las necesidades del partido. Queremos que TODOS los funcionarios y candidatos de TODOS los partidos nos acudan y codicien nuestro voto.

 

Para que esto suceda, tenemos que votar más inteligente; tenemos que votar por el candidato que cumpla con nuestras necesidades. Los latinos tienen que convertirse en un voto decisivo. 

 

En este caso, personalmente, me gusta el hombre; él es un hombre decente que sería un excelente gobernador.   Él es el ejecutivo del condado de Westchester que no es picadillo de hígado, 450 millas cuadradas y alrededor de un millón de habitantes de cual aproximadamente 17% son latinos.

 

Rob Astorino no viene de una familia real o dinastía política. Él no cree que su familia nació  para gobernar. 

 

Fue a la escuela en la Universidad de Fordham en el Bronx. Él tiene una licenciatura en Comunicaciones y antes de entrar en la política, se convirtió en uno de los fundadores de la radio ESPN. Él pertenece a AFTRA -American FEDERACIÓN DE RADIO Y TV ARTISTA, como yo. Él tiene religión; ha sido titular en el Canal Católico en Sirius Radio.

 

Lo conocí el año pasado y me impresionó como un hombre cuerdo, humilde, confiado.  Él no se dio cuenta hace de un par de meses atrás que tenía que hablar español para conseguir votos. Estudió el Español desde joven porque quería; porque él admira y respeta nuestra cultura.   Rob Astorino, en este momento, tiene una de las más diversas administraciones en el estado. Eso dice mucho acerca de cómo funcionaría nuestro gobierno estatal.

 

No necesitamos a alguien con mucho dinero y bolsillos profundos, que se esconde, lanzando una andanada de anuncios negativos y ni siquiera molestarse en aparecer para un debate. No queremos a alguien que comienza una comisión sobre crimen y la obstruye cuando comienza a dirigirse hacia él.

 

En esta elección, en este momento, voy a votar por Rob Astorino para el próximo gobernador del gran estado de Nueva York e insto a todos los demócratas y los latinos a unirse a mí.

AGAIN, I FIND MY SELF AGREEING WITH SENATOR DÍAZ

September 15th, 2014 How are you going to take an oath to uphold the Constitution of the US, The Constituion of NYS and the City Charter and then refuse to recognize the flag? AT A 9/11 MEMORIAL! We have a bunch of “Masserrati Marxists, Limousine Liberals & Cyber Socialist” up here in states; People who are against anything US but make a very good living here. People  who want socialism for Latin America but stay here with their airconditioning, department stores, cable & satellite tv and their luxury cars. I agree with Tara Palmeri and Senator Díaz; they should go fight for independence or socialism in Latin America and Puerto Rico and stop being such opportunistic hypocrites.   Willie Colón The Actions of Melissa Mark-Viverito By Senator Rev. Rubén Díaz 32nd Senatorial District You should know that here in the United States of America, every citizen has been taught to face the flag and stand at attention with their right hand over their heart when “The Star Spangled Banner” is played or sung, and when the Pledge of Allegiance is recited. Our salute is directed to the flag of the United States.   This sign of respect is done by any good citizen during public ceremonies when the national anthem is played and the flag is displayed.  People even stand up and honor the national anthems of other countries when their national anthems are played and their flags are displayed. After reading Tara Palmeri’s article, “Mark-Viverito doesn’t place hand over heart during 9/11 ceremony” in the September 13, 2014 edition of the New York Post, I thought about the American flag that was displayed during New York’s 9/11 Memorial Ceremony, and the national anthem that was sung and nationally televised to honor the more than 3,000 people who lost their lives thirteen years ago in the terrorist attacks on America.  I thought about the hallowed ground where the Twin Towers once stood and where the 9/11 ceremony took place.   I thought about everyone in attendance, including current and past governors, mayors and elected officials who all placed their hands over their hearts to honor the flag while the national anthem was being sung in memory of the heroes and heroines and victims of 9/11 – everyone, that is, except for the New York City Council Speaker Melissa Mark-Viverito. You should know that this is not the first time that Melissa Mark-Viverito has behaved in this manner. She has never honored the American flag at any event.  Her Independentista Party in Puerto Rico “Partido Independentista Puertorriqueño, PIP” does not believe in American governance of Puerto Rico.  Her Independentista Party adheres to the philosophy to reject America and to do everything to expel the Americanos from Puerto Rico. You should know, as I have said before, the Independentista Party in Puerto Rico doesn’t like the Americans and they don’t want the Americans to be in Puerto Rico. I could understand and even respect those Puerto Ricans who have decided to stay in Puerto Rico and from there, fight for the independence of the island. But I cannot understand nor respect those individuals who have abandoned Puerto Rico while claiming to be followers of the Independentista Party in Puerto Rico, and come to this nation in search of the American dollar. Apparently, the American dollar is bad for the people in Puerto Rico – but it IS good for those who come here hating America but eat, work, make money, participate in and obtain all of those benefits that this great nation offers. You should know that the fact that New York City Council Speaker Melissa Mark-Viverito – who happens to be Puerto Rican – refused to honor the American flag during the 9/11 Memorial Ceremony is a gross act of disrespect not only to the American people, but also to the more than 3,000 victims of 9/11 and their families, to the heroes and heroines of 9/11, and to us Puerto Ricans who live in, love and respect this nation that has given us so much. My advice to Melissa Mark-Viverito is that she should know that the biggest message she could send to everyone – especially as an Independentista – is to publicly resign as a Member and Speaker of the New York City Council, and return to Puerto Rico to join all those there who are fighting for the independence of Puerto Rico.  This way, the whole nation will know how honest, truthful and sincere she is to the Independence of Puerto Rico. Otherwise, as long as Melissa Mark-Viverito continues to have free cars, free chauffeurs, free offices, a big salary, huge stipends and lulus, medical insurance – and ALL of those other benefits paid for by the American dollar here in the USA, she is sending the wrong message. Ladies and gentlemen, after getting all of those benefits from America, the least she can do is to stand up and show her respect when the American flag is displayed and the national anthem is sung.
