Liz Berney thanks rally crowd on rainy day for coming out to support Peter King

[eb22]

Other than Andy Sullivan,   who was the MC of the Support for Peter King Rally event in Midtown Manhattan,   Liz Berney was the first speaker at the event.    Because of a family commitment,   Liz's speech was relatively short.    But she set an excellent tone for the rest of the speeches in her support for Peter King's efforts:

I remember when she ran against that fat hog Ackerman I was working day and night for her race but she never gotten the same coverage as Ackerman in the district for Congresswoman.  And the ninnies in the district would fall on their knees to Ackerman cause they are zombies who are attracted to garbage.

Masterwolf,   I'm sure that Liz appreciated your efforts.      I definitely appreciate your efforts.


There's no question that Gary Ackerman has the vast majority of the media on his side.     Not to mention the huge advantage in PAC money Ackerman receives and the Union ' leadership'  support.      This compounds the problem of overcoming that the Democrats have a large majority over the Republicans in registered voters in the 5th Congressional District.        Ackerman is indeed an example of living garbage.   Getting through to voters in this district is extremely difficult but its imperative that Ackerman is out of office ASAP.   

On the other hand,   Liz Berney is the antithesis of Gary Ackerman in a multitude of ways.    She's someone who never even thought about running for public office until the latter part of 2007.      Liz is a genuine person,   who is very proud of her heritage.

Thanks,  mord.     Keep up the great work with the articles and on ZooTube!    It does make a positive difference!

Hopefully,   Peter King will get the type of support that will enable him to get favorable results with the Hearings.

My pleasure,   bullcat.     It was great meeting you at the JTF meeting the other night.     

It was a good meeting.  I enjoyed it, and meeting you, very much.  It was well worth 'braving the rain' to attend.
Peter King deserves our support for what he is trying to do, to save America.
You should be commended for attending that rally.

Thanks,   Bullcat.


I totally agree with you regarding the importance of Supporting Peter King's efforts with the Hearings.


Interestingly,   there's another demonstration this coming Sunday.      This one involves a proposed Mosque/  Community Project in the Sheepstead Bay Section of Brooklyn:

An overt anti-semite to the nth degree has posted comments in this video ( the link is at the beginning of this thread  ) and in the Helen Freedman video from the Support for Peter King Rally:

I came across the following.      Words can't even describe my contempt for the non-Muslim religious ' leaders'   who signed this letter and others like it.     They are aiding in an Islamic takeover of the United States!         These beasts are making an issue out of ' hate crimes'  against Muslims.    Yet,  of course they don't mention that Jews in the U.S.  were the victims of 8 times as many hate crimes as Muslims in 2009!

Letter: ‘Religious Leaders Call on Peter King to Cancel Muslim Hearings’
Friday, 25 February 2011 00:00

(Editor’s note: This letter was sent to U.S. Congressman Peter King and to Anton Newspapers. Eighty people in the religious community on Long Island signed the letter; we are printing the names of those in the areas our newspapers cover.)

Dear Representative Peter King,

As religious leaders and people of faith across Long Island, we stand together to express our profound concern about the Congressional hearings you have proposed to investigate the Muslim-American community. We fear this effort will only further divide our community and undermine our nation’s highest ideals. We urge you to cancel these hearings.

Protecting our nation requires allegiance to the fundamental values that give life to our democracy. A commitment to pluralism and respect for diversity are strengths in the fight against terrorism. We agree that law enforcement must find practical solutions to stop terrorism, whether these threats come from religious or non-religious extremists. Muslim-Americans have consistently denounced terrorism and worked closely with law enforcement to prevent violence. Building and maintaining trust with the Muslim community is crucial to furthering this cooperation, and we fear your hearings will only sow greater distrust and division at a time when unity and moral courage are needed.

A more constructive approach to strengthening the bonds of trust that bolster our security and protect our values would be convening a dialogue among faith leaders, law enforcement and elected officials such as yourself. It is with a spirit of goodwill and sincere hope that we propose beginning such an initiative with you.

Let us remember the lessons of history. Entire communities should never be targeted for suspicion of disloyalty. During World War II, Japanese-Americans were deprived of their rights and forced into internment camps because of blanket distrust of their commitment to our country. The McCarthy hearings became a shameful national spectacle that falsely impugned the loyalty and destroyed the lives of many Americans. Catholics were once demonized as threats to democracy beholden to a foreign power. Jews and African-Americans have faced centuries of suspicion and prejudice. Today, Muslim-Americans in many communities face fierce opposition when they propose to build mosques and worship peacefully. A growing number of Muslims are victims of hate crimes. This bigotry and discrimination, rooted in fear and ignorance, diminishes us all and unfairly maligns Americans who teach our children, serve our country, live peacefully and believe in the American dream.

Last month, our nation was shocked by a savage shooting spree in Arizona. This brazen attack killed or injured fellow Americans, including your colleague in the House of Representatives, Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords. As we mourn together in the wake of this painful tragedy, leaders of both parties have called for an elevated civic dialogue that transcends fear-mongering and polarization. These hearings are unworthy of that noble goal.
