| His cost cutting and responsible fiscal management that in reality is what progressives do to help middle class people afford their homes, unlike the right wings ridiculous rantings that they are the fiscal specialists.
Foley clearly expresses a view that government has a place in expanding health-care to the uninsured. He wants to eliminate unfunded mandates on local govt. while supporting a property tax cap proposals.
But it is these words that inspire me most about Brian Foley's positions:
And above all, I'll go to Albany to change the culture of secrecy and dysfunction so that we can finally make progress on all of these issues.
And across our state and nation, voters are demanding a lot more from our elected officials. People have heard enough promises and far too many partisan attacks - they want action and results. And that's what we will be offering them in November.
Because of this we will make history when we elect a new administration in Washington, and here in New York, we will also make history by electing the first Democratic Majority to the State Senate in over 4 decades.
Because after 4 decades of rising taxes, with millions of people still lacking health insurance, and an economy that consistently fails to grow as fast as other states', we're overdue for this change.
As I said, we started by making real changes here on Long Island. We will finish by making the change we need in Albany.
I would like to have seen a more expansive site that would include links to campaign press releases, news, photo gallery, advertising commercials, positions and more. I have a good feel that this is a work in progress and that expanded features will be created soon but there is something up now. Pay it a visit and comment to the campaign.
UPDATE
I just learned that this past weekend over a dozen Foley volunteers canvased in Brookhaven and received great responses from the voters they spoke with regarding the campaign. I will be joining them very shortly, digital camera in tow and will post here with plenty of photo's of the joint Foley/Obama HQ in Brookhaven and of the canvasers doing their thing door to door. |
