Readers Write: GOP county bosses thwart outsiders

The Island Now

Are you tired of the Nassau Republican Committee dictating who your elected representatives will be in the federal, state and local governments?  

The Republican Committee outright rejects any outside-the-organization challenger of their candidates with threats and banishment through fear.  

Registered voters will have an opportunity on June 24 to change this scenario.  

The primary on Tuesday, June 24 offers us voters an opportunity for a Virginia-like upset result by coming out in droves and voting for Frank Scaturro as our next Congressman in the 4th CD.  

He knows the issues well and has ideas which would coincide with the viewpoints of his constituents.  His election will ensure a stronger House of Representatives majority.

I have a feeling this letter will fall on deaf ears when voters will again be complacent and keep the status quo by not turning out to vote on June 24.  

The Republican Committee depends on voter complacency in primaries and probably forces the Town of Hempstead job holders to vote for their organization candidate through fear of job loss and future pensions.  

By the way, their candidate is probably waiting for some appointed job in the county as a reward for running in this race.

For 16 years the 4th CD has been a safe seat for Democratic candidates and what have the constituents gotten: Obamacare, rationing of healthcare, shortage of physicians, not to mention a lackluster economy with loss of jobs, etc. – for those who follow the news know the rest.

Nassau County will lose an awesome and best district attorney we have had in years by her election to this seat through name recognition.  

Voting in this important primary election will send a strong message that we no longer need a safe seat and we want to keep our District Attorney in Nassau County.  

Let’s have another Virginia coo!  Voters, I dare you …

People voted in virginia – not dollars!!!
