I can’t vote democrat in Nassau County this year!

Covid Up state issue, Unemployment and Poverty Up, County issue No second round of federal stimulus, a Congressional issue

Why would anyone vote for a democrat in Nassau County in the minority neighborhoods of Valley Stream, Hempstead and Freeport village where unemployment is over 17.8% ? And the unemployment rate for Nassau counties overall average unemployment rate is 14% for the 1.3 million residents ? The poverty level is 6% for 80,000 people living in families of four earning less than $ 26,200. Every year the politicians are insulated from all of these personal tragedies. It‘s like an SNL skit. Where rich democrats point at the voter and says it’s your fault. Covid deaths of 33,000 and 503,000 family members infected a total state issue. If Joe Thrapp was governor of NYS . I would say I am responsible. If I was the County Executive, I would say I own the poverty and unemployment rate in all towns including minority areas. If I was the congressman for the NY-04 I would not spend my time on social issues. I would have worked 24/7 since May 1 to secure a second round of stimulus spending including covid vaccines. I will never allow any party to dictate to me, how to vote again for our district never, our NY-04 first. I would hold Andrew Cuomo responsible for the covid killing of the most people in the country . Because he is a terrible manager and he is one of the other 49 governors who are responsible because of the separation of federal powers over states. I’ve been running a write in campaign for the People of the NY-04 congressional district since March. I was not picked by the party bosses. I am not owed to any union, real estate, insurance, drug or medical company, no private Or public company. I accept no campaign contributions or endorsements. I will humbly accept only you as my neighbor ,writing this neighbors name at the bottom of the congressional ballot for Joe Thrapp. Know now ,if I am blessed with the job of working for you. I pledge to you under threat of banishment . I will work for my salary, I will never take a meal, a jet ride or a free corporate junket. My staff and I will pay for our own coffee and meals. I will never write a book or accept money for any appearances ever. If elected I pledge to stay for 3 terms if blessed so. When I retire, I will never , ever work again in a public or private corporation. When I leave the swinging doors of government to private work. They will forever close to me. One last thing, I will never ever visit the Nassau Board of Elections to inspect critical balloting machines that will determine the fate and the history of our Nation. No matter what you do after reading this go out and vote for the person who best matches up to your personal standards, peace be with you Joe Thrapp
