BIG BIG BIG QUESTION : I am thinking of opposing Deborah Glick and need your feedback

BIG BIG BIG QUESTION : I am thinking of opposing Deborah Glick is the upcoming race for New York State Assembly now that Arthur Z. Schwartz has pulled out because of health and harassment issues . Glick has been in office for 26 years, At first she made history by being the first lesbian in NY to be elected to State office . Our district is progressive but she has in the last three terms proven to be not interested in community issues .. She should have retired after doing nothing and saying nothing about the closure of a hospital in order to build luxury condos or her silence on the building of a frack gas pipeline right in her district ,,,and those are just some of the critical actions she did or did not do Although I am a lifelong Democrat I will run as an independent if I step in ..I will not run on an identity politics platform , but on local political issues and against Glick's actual record I am inspire by the hope the Sanders campaign has given me that Yes we can make change if we step up. ... please let me know privately if you think this is a good idea.. and if you do will you help petition and spread the word please .

Here is what Arthur Z. Schwartz wrote about why he had been running and why he now must withdraw

ALERT: DALLAS what can be done to stop the gun killing

Guns kill people.  Period. One man's response to the killing of black mostly men over the last four years by white police officers all over the United States was to pick up guns that he presumably legally owned  and open fire allegedly saying in hostage negotiations that “he wanted to kill white people especially white police officers” . While in hostage negotiation the shooter was killed by the Dallas police.

It is my opinion the public believes that white police officers .. or any police officer ,, works above the law and can kill members of the public without fear of punishment. I know there are  honorable police officers of different colors. They need to take leadership in citing  police in their own ranks. I am concerned by use of steroids in the police force and their effect on behavior? Yes  we need police protection as a citizens, but we also need protection from racist, anger driven police officers most amply on display in the killing of black men and women. Shoot to kill MUST not be a police policy.  

Yes, the militarization of the police forces across the country started by the Bush administration and continued by the Obama administration which offers free or cheap military equipment manufactured for war like operations to police departments across the country  and the training of police officers not as peace officers but solderers against crime has to end.

Most importantly every single member of Congress who has refused to pass meaningful gun control legislation are,  in my view,  complicit with this act of revenge for the killing of white police officers by putting guns in the hands of  people who should not have them regardless of color. Passing laws on a State level that allow open and concealed gun carrying In public including in schools, colleges  and churches only exacerbates the problem and threatens  the public.. Elected officials allegiance to the National Rifle Association (NRA)  over the safety of their constituents needs to be made very, very clear to the public. In this election year people need to know and understand the role of the NRA and it’s  financial relationship with elected officials.. Things can not change if we, as citizens, continue to have our federal and state gun policy dictated by the NRA.   I will not vote for any elected official who accepts $$$ from the NRA and votes to reject effective and reasonable gun control legislation.

In my view using a gun to settle disputes of any nature is wrong. Period!

This is why I joined and participate in GAYS AGAINST GUNS actions after the Orlando massacre of lesbian and gay men and their friends dancing at PULSE a gay dance club in Orlando. Here is and image of a restaging of the White Shroud ritual on Fire Island on July 4th to memorialize and personalize the people killed (i am the short third person in on the right hand side)

The Second Amendment must be interpreted in light of the 21st century reality .

I also must point out that when white police officers are killed by a civilian with a conscious alleged intent to “..kill white people, especially white police offices,”  the response from media is quite different in focus from their own focus from any one of the killing of black men by white police officers. “ The larger question of what conditions produce this kind of  act of violence must be primary in any discussion.

Hate causes anger, Anger in action can kill. Putting guns in the hands of angry people, including police officers, causes people to be killed. The policy of shoot to kill must revert back to shoot to disarm and immobilize the person threatened with a gun. Period.

Guns kill people . People who put guns into the hands of people who will kill are complicit in this crime,

GAYS against GUNS is my  response .  And yours?

GAYS against GUNS vs the PINK PISTOL movement. Where I stand with support material video and primt

I don't support the Pink Pistols . It is simply nuts to enourage the average gay or lesbian person of any gender expression to carry their own gun unless orgnized as a Williams Boroughs fantasy group with out real weapons. Homophobia breeds anger, Anger breeds hate, Hate breeds fear and rage . Fear and rage and the NRA puts guns into people's hands . people with guns shot and kill and wound people. No I do not think Pink Pistols advocacy of arming one's self with assault weapons accomplishes anything but to give new meaning to straight acting. Self defense yes but not by arming people average people Please read

PINK PISTOLS? 

Please listen closely to a libertarian public access television discussion with a dangerous (my opinion)  self appointed "gay /queer "  spokesperson for Pink Pistols in NYC.. This interview was conducted before Orlando and before he joined the new ACT UP as an HIV + activist .. note what he says about government involvement ..and now he s receives assistance with medication etc. 

I have had personal experience with ADEMAJ. We  have very different positions on PrEP (giving hiv- individuals serious AIDS drugs with serious side effects on a daily basis at  a cost of $18,000 (mostly paid by US government with taxpayer's money. As an HIV- person who has lived through the plague years/ I think it simply crazy to say that safe sex does not work. I know personally safe sex works   I met ADEMAJ at the new ACT UP meeting where a discussion of how ACT UP had failed and safe sex doesn't work was being held. (It does for me and many of my friends) . In talking with him , he told me he does not wear condoms because he thinks his HIV is undetectable, I asked if his health care provider supported  his refusal to wear condoms . He refused to answer.  He told me he feels no obligation to tell sexual partners that he is HIV+ , He told me he will have sex with any man or woman who is "hot." . At the time of this encounter he clearly looked to me as if he was on a multiple drug regimen which could be shedding in his semen  Later encounters were scary, He was so angry with me that he would scream in his now over steroid body, "I am going to destroy your reputation!"He told me would organized a group to ruin my reputation. I did not know at the time he was a gun advocate, He told me he would  destroy me. I do not want this person with the amount of rage he has directed at me. I did wonder to myself if he had Aids/HIV medication related dementia When he was screaming at me about destroying me I thought he might lose control . His apparent, to me,  issues with masculinity and wanting to act straight I have seen it other gay men i... but it was the first time i had encountered it  from a  person who vowed to destroy me who isa member of the PINK PISTOLS
