Good news.... That's what needs to happen.

What? Democrats found some sense??? WTH???

Same here in Erie county (western NY) 7-4 surprised me a bit.

A bit of good news is always welcome. Good news indeed.

EXCELLENT!

Good news indeed!!!

The Dems are scared, they are witnessing what happens when you come for our guns. The big rally in Albany on Thursday will be more telling.

Hopefully Vermont, Mass. Ct. Maine, And all the northeast is aware that it is their 2nd ammendment also. They need to be in Albany Thursday. Too show everyone is sick of the chit!!!!!


Take care, Willie

Today,Schenectady GAYzette reports that the Saratoga County Board of Supervisors voted to demand repeal.

Good. No...great. That is what we need.

While you are at it, you need to demand the repeal of NY's old assault weapon ban.

You have the momentum.

I'm not sure we have any real momentum with any of this. Hopefully I'm wrong. The big problem is the unbalance of population with regards to geography.

Just like the entire nation needs Ca. to sink and disappear, we here in upstate need NYC to do the same... (j-k....don't want any of the fine Ca. 'fire members upset at me....)

All kidding aside...it's always the same ole thing around here....the tail waggin the dog...

We sure they did. They are afraid of not be relected

tell us more about this rally.....please

Well, you've got this news, plus the NYSP is revolting against their FOP lodges and the SEIU has decided it's a bad idea to counter protest in Albany.

Even the dumbotards are afraid of mass execution....THEIR OWN.

Great news for the folks of NY and the rest of the country.

A step in the right direction, I just hope it isn't for naught
