New York Falls From #1 Financial Center in the World. Thanks For Nothing Mayor Bloomberg

New York has fallen from number 1 to number 3 as the main financial center of the world. Mayor Bloomberg is supposed to be an economic genius but he has failed miserably as our leader and made us worse off than we were 8 years ago. Unemployement is up to new highs and we are now number 3 in the world. He is a failure. Here is a link to the article on how we have fallen http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/33592580/ns/business-businessweekcom/
Today is our chance to stop Bloomberg from failing us further. Vote William Thompson.

Vote Bill Thompson on Election Day

I'm not a fan of the campaign that Bill Thompson has run but I will vote for him wholeheartedly on election day because it will bring the end of Mayor Bloomberg's dictatorship as Mayor. It will give hope back to the middle class and poor if Mayor Bloomberg is gone.

Mike Bloomberg chose all the members of the rent guidelines board and he is a landlord himself. Rents have gone to ridiculous highs throughout New York. This is someone who does not care how people will pay their bills.

Mike Bloomberg chose to ignore the public and got term limits overruled allowing him to run for a third term. Our votes need to count and with Mike Bloomberg they do not count.

Unemployment is over 10% for the first time in over 20 years. Thanks Mike! We love having no jobs and high rents in New York. It is time for Mike to go!

Test scores according to the Mayor are up. Maybe its true but how does the explain a 90% failure rate of New York school kids taking the entrance exam at CUNY colleges? It is time for Mike to go!

If you care about this great city and the people in it then you will vote for Bill Thompson as I will on election day. Its time for Mike to go!

Where are the jobs promised in ads?

Mike Bloomberg has a commercial saying how he has a plan to create jobs. He's been Mayor for 8 years and unemployment in NYC is over 10% which is the highest its been in over 20 years. Why is he waiting until he's elected to create jobs? Why hasn't he created the jobs in the previous 8 years of his administration? Its because he is not the master of the economy he claims. He is a failure.
Its time for Mike Bloomberg to go.

Rudy Up to Old Tricks in Bloomberg Push

Read Gabe Pressman's article on Rudy Giuliani talking on behalf of Mike Bloomberg. It is scary that the Mayor of New York City can condone this type of behavior. Mike Bloomberg and Rudy Giuliani create a dynamic duo of terror for the citizens of New York City. Here is a link to the article

Bloomberg Spends $65 Million on Campaign and Will Reach $100 Million!

Bill Thompson has only gotten $3.8 million while Mayor Bloomberg has used his own bank account to spent $65 million on his campaign. We are inundated with flyers in our mailbox and TV and radio commercials by Bloomberg but no flyers and only an ocassional TV commercial by Bill Thompson. How many people even know Bill Thompson is running because of the discrepancy in spending?
This is a serious issue that allows the rich to control the city and continue to abuse the poor and middle class. Mayor Bloomberg used his power to get term limits over turned and now he is buying the election. In a nation going through a recession and unseen unemployement in the last 30 years Mayor Bloomberg has used his money to gain even more control over the poor and middle class.
It is important that everyone who believes in saving the environment and the effects of global warming vote against Mike Bloomberg. The amount of money he has spent on flyers that are not on recycable paper is criminal.
Anyone who is unemployed should vote against Mayor Bloomberg. You are struggling and he spends money on a campaign that should not be allowed since he got term limits over turned without allowing an election of the voters to determine how they felt about it. He has been the Mayor during one of the worst periods of unemployement in New York City history. He says he has created jobs but ask if that is true of all the construction workers and retail workers who are unemployed. Ask all the owners of small business who have had to shutter their stores if it is true.
Mayor Bloomberg must be stopped by people with children. When you tell your child that they can grow up to be anything they want you will be lying to them if Mayor Bloomberg wins another term because if he wins it means that only the rich can win.

Where Is Thompson? Where is Schumer? Where are the Cuomo's?

Today is the Democratic primary for Mayor and William Thompson has done nothing so far to get his campaign moving. There are groups out there that are pushing very hard for the defeat of Mike Bloomberg such as Bloomberg Watch. They are doing a great job but William Thompson is invisible.

It almost seems like he doesn't want the nomination. He must start making his move now or it will be too late and another 4 years of Bloomberg will be upon us.

He is supposed to start his campaign commercials this week. I do hope they are better than he has been in the debates. He is our only hope and he needs to show he has the passion and the desire to be Mayor or we will be lost to more Bloomberg greed causing more suffering for the poor and middle class.

Bloomberg can be beaten but not if his opponent has no passion. He must take the bull by the horns and get all the leaders of the Democratic party behind him with enthusiasm.

Where are the Democratic leaders of the party? Where is Charles Schumer? Where are the Cuomo's? Where is Marty Markowitz? They must get behind William Thompson with all their support and push him over the top or all will be lost for a once proud city.

The Mayor Makes Disingenuous Cross Town Bus Plan

Mayor Bloomberg has come up with a plan to make cross town buses free. This is very odd. If the MTA is in such trouble financially and has no money how can this be done? Suddenly there is money? Not everyone comes from the train as the Mayor suggests and that would cost the MTA more money.

The Mayor is talking about doing this in Manhattan. Why not the Bronx, Brooklyn and Queens? Are they invisible? People get off the train to finish their trips on the bus in the other boroughs.

This is a plan that will only help a few people in Manhattan if it does get approved which I find unlikely.

This plan is like offering someone snow in the winter.

If the Mayor wants to help people save money why doesn't he abolish the raise in the sales tax? The rise in sales tax affects far more people.

This is nothing more than a ploy to get the Mayor in the papers and on the news and make like he is such a good guy but this idea is disingenuous.
