ARREST ANTI-AMERICAN PROTESTORS BREAKING THE LAW As constitutionalist conservatives, we believe protesting is a protected right in a free society. I for one have been involved in many protests over the years. However, protesting by closing bridges, blocking airport access on highways, taking over parts of schools and public places are not protected under the Constitutional right to free speech. Simply put, it’s because the protestors are interfering with the rights of others. Imagine you or a loved one is having a medical emergency, and you can’t get to a hospital because the access points are ..read more

STATE BUDGET The Conservative Party has been clear that we oppose the State Budget submitted by the Governor as being way too expensive, and once again filled with woke ideas, lacking in a realistic understanding of the problems the state is encountering as a result of illegal immigration and inept criminal justice reforms. The two one-house budgets submitted by the Assembly and Senate Democrats were somehow even worse. Costing more overall, with new taxes, and even more out of touch programs and restorations that do nothing for New Yorkers who continue to flee. Now, the Empire Foundation has ..read more

Volunteers have been going door-to-door petitioning for candidates running for local, state, and national offices. Our nation’s democr ..read more

Tik Tok As you might have noticed over the years, the New York State Conservative Party has never been on Tik Tok. While we have a very large and active media presence on almost every social media platform, we made the common sense decision to not indulge in a Communist owned company. We have known for years the application of Tik Tok is run by Chinese Communists secretly collecting data from Americans. Now, Americans know the truth behind one of America’s biggest national security threats after the House of Representatives overwhelmingly passed the “Protecting Americans from Foreign Adversari ..read more
