Dear Friend,
This week brought another crushing blow to Americans’ wallets with surging gas prices and the highest inflation numbers since 1982. The hardship this is causing on household budgets is real. Too many seniors on fixed incomes, working and middle-class New Yorkers and single parents are making the tough choices between food, heating their homes, and filling their gas tanks.
It’s a devastating reality, but what is the Biden Administration’s response to their self-made crisis? They are telling everyone to go out and buy Teslas. It’s infuriating--and just pure insanity-- to suggest that Americans can go out and drop more than $50,000 on an electric car to deal with the energy crisis.
Not only are they stunningly tone-deaf, but they are also lying directly to the American public by blaming the entirety of rising prices on Russia’s invasion into Ukraine. Gas prices have been steadily climbing since the day he took office and immediately revoked the permit for the Keystone Pipeline. We have been experiencing 40-year highs on inflation long before Putin even began moving a single troop toward the border. How stupid do they think the American public is?
The truth is, inflation and gas prices are the direct result of Washington’s policies under the Biden-Schumer-Pelosi radical agenda. Their spending spree and war on energy have brought us to this moment. It is a very painful reminder that elections have consequences. We went from American energy independence with low prices to now relying on countries like Venezuela through OPEC. This not only affects our wallets but has a huge impact on our national security.
If you don’t believe how radicalized they have become over their energy policies, look no further than the disgusting display of New York Senate Democrats this week, who stood proudly grinning with a banner of a plane flying into the Twin Towers equating it to climate change. Using imagery of the darkest day in America and New York’s history--a memory that is still so painful for so many families--is beyond reproach. The truth is, they are so obsessed with their extreme agenda, nothing is off-limits.
The pain of their policies is only just beginning. We simply cannot afford another year of total Democrat control in Washington and New York. Our New York Republican Party is the Party of common-sense solutions. We want our nation to be safe, secure and prosperous. That is what’s on the ballot this November.
Finally, please join me in continuing to pray for the Ukrainian people. We are all watching in horror as Putin wages war crimes against innocent civilians, including women and children. I am so proud of the countless New Yorkers (including our former Governor George Pataki who is on the Ukrainian border right now) who have pitched in to help this during this devastating humanitarian crisis. Our thoughts are with them all.
Sincerely,
