NYC Is Unhappy and Over Priced During the Bloomberg Reign

New York was voted the most unhappy city to live in and the most expensive over a 2 day period. Thanks to the leadership of Mayor Bloomberg the quality of life for the poor and middle class has deteriorated.

Under the Mayor cost of living has risen and salaries have not kept pace. Small businesses fail and big companies grow but pay low wages. Rents have skyrocketed to the highest in the nation and crime despite fudged statistics is still a major problem in poor neighborhoods. A recent poll found most New Yorkers felt crime was on the rise.

No money and higher crime. Both have occurred under the Bloomberg administration and have made life in New York City difficult and unfulfillng for the poor and middle class

I saw the Mayor on TV during the Thanksgiving Day parade and he said this is why you become Mayor so you can be so close to the festivities and the balloons. Did anyone see the Mayor trying to hog the limelight during the Yankees World Series victory? The reporters ignored him which was a very good thing. His grandstanding was an embarrassment for New Yorkers. This proves that the Mayor only cares about his own pleasure and celebrity. Being Mayor should be about helping your fellow New Yorkers and nothing else.

Where Are Our Democratic Leaders? They Need to Take Charge

Mayor Bloomberg has won and now its time for the Government of New York City to come out of exile so that this doesn't happen again.
The people and the leaders of the Democratic party need to unite to stop King Bloomberg from putting the poor and middle class into further despair.

Rents must come down and be fair in NYC. Under Mayor Bloomberg it has not happened.

Crime in poor neighborhoods must be stopped and fictitious numbers must be uncovered.

The real situation of our children just being taught to pass tests and not really learning anything must be uncovered. School crime must be stopped.

Democratic leaders who have endorsed Mayor Bloomberg must be revealed and they need to explain how they do not care about their constituencies. An example would be Brooklyn Borough President Marty Markowitz who by endorsing Mayor Bloomberg has told his Brooklyn residents he does not care about the problems they are experiencing. Creating concerts does not pay rent.

It is time for the real leaders of the Democratic Party to step forward and lead protests against corrupt leaders like Bloomberg, Markowitz and Quinn.

Where is Charles Schumer? Where was Al Sharpton until the end of the election? Why doesn't Sharpton march on City Hall about rents?

Will Bill Thompson and Anthony Weiner lead the way and do all that is possible to stop Bloomberg? The time has come for the real leaders of the Democratic party to emerge and take the city back.

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.
