2ANY founder running for Erie county sheriff?

[Justincase]

I can dig it. Should perhaps not get too far ahead of himself though. Tone it down a bit to ensure some moderate votes.

Steve Felano announces run for Erie County Sheriff, introduces ‘Blue New Deal’

BUFFALO, N.Y. (WIVB)– Steve Felano, founder of 2ANYS, a second amendment civil rights advocacy group, has announced he’s running for Erie County Sheriff. Felano is a 35-year-old residen…

DA Flynn must go too! Was not happy to see him run a as rat and a rino! He must go, he is NO friend of the police.

"Ending victimless traffic violations to stop highway theft from working families: State and county government agents impose technical, victimless traffic violations on Erie County residents to balance their irresponsible budgets. Felano will stop enforcement of these violations. Parents just trying to get to work on time should not be robbed on the side of the highway so progressives may continue their reckless spending binge. "

It is the life blood of Towns too. Sadly my town especially!

 

[Acer-m14]

"Non-enforcement of unconstitutional edicts to protect citizens’ rights from state overreach: On Felano’s first day as Erie County Sheriff, the unlawful SAFE Act, arbitrary pistol permit regime, illegal Red Flag Law, and all COVID-1984 executive orders will stop being enforced by Erie County Deputies.

A strong Grand Jury to resist government abuse: As Erie County Sheriff, Felano will empanel a grand jury with the power to investigate official misconduct, including all members of the Cuomo Regime, and all government agents involved in the ongoing, unconstitutional COVID-1984 lockdown forced on Erie County residents.

i good with this as long as he is handing out pistols and not lollipops

i do like the covid 1984 he put in there .. lol

Fines should have to go to the next level up of government.

That would eliminate the incentive for "policing for profit" without compromising the ability to issue fines as a punishment for law breaking.

Local LE/court issues a fine, the money goes to the state coffers.

State LE/court issues a fine, the feds get it.

The feds issue a fine, well, they don't balance a budget anyway, but it goes to the general fund, not the agency that issued it.

 

[SonOfSun]

It's a ways off, but I'd vote for Felano.

 

[GOPerfect]

Good for this guy. He does NOT stand a chance

 

[Deplorable Me]

Howard won the last election by a margin. Now that the democrats have perfected election rigging even a Republican running unopposed won't be able to get elected.

 

[SomeSoldier]

DA Flynn must go too! Was not happy to see him run a as rat and a rino! He must go, he is NO friend of the police.

Anyone that was next to both parties I just didn't vote. I refuse to be told I don't have a choice.

 

[SomeSoldier]

So far I love this guy and would/will vote for him. But regardless if he had the votes to win, Dominion will fix it for Dems.

Welp, where can I vote! Pretty pumped about his policy positions. Definitely excited about this guy.

Sounds good. But, he has little to no say in much of it. He can do very little about pistol permit process, he could try to speed it up a bit...

He cannot force a Deputy to not follow laws. Justified laws or the Bullshit laws that we have in NY. He cannot force any officer to not follow a law. I like what he says, but some is not reality.

He could fire any deputy that fails to uphold their oath to the Constitution.

A message to the membership of the 1791 Society:

A couple weeks ago, The 1791 Society became the first political organization to endorse a candidate for the 2021 General Election for Erie County Sheriff. We endorsed John Garcia because of his exemplary record as a law enforcement officer, his commitment to supporting the Second Amendment, and the resounding recommendation he received from the current beloved Erie County Sheriff Timothy Howard.

Earlier today, a man named Steve Felano announced his intention to run in the Republican Party primary. Mr. Felano is associated with the notorious local political gadfly James Ostrowski. Normally, a gimmick candidacy like that of Mr. Felano would not receive any attention from us. Mr. Felano is, however, asserting Second Amendment credentials. Therefore, we have an obligation to weigh in on this campaign so that our membership can make an informed decision.

First, Mr. Felano has no work experience as a law enforcement officer. He has never worked with the New York State Police, a county Sheriff's Office, or a municipal police department. There is no evidence that he has even worked as a security guard. The Erie County Sheriff’s Office handles some of the most challenging cases known to law enforcement, from drug trafficking to homicide investigations. Mr. Felano's admitted lack of law enforcement credentials serves to immediately disqualify his candidacy.

Second, Mr. Felano’s associates, particularly James Ostrowski, have engaged in publicity stunt lawsuits that have negatively affected the pistol permit system in Erie County and set back the progress of Second Amendment Advocacy. These folks have actually protested Sheriff Howard's office. Sheriff Howard has been the most pro-Second Amendment law enforcement officer in the entire State of New York.

Third, nominating Mr. Felano as the Republican Party candidate assures that the Democrats will win the Erie County Sheriff’s race in a landslide. Erie County has a Democratic voter enrollment advantage. Citing Mr. Felano’s glaring lack of any law enforcement experience will be sufficient for any Democrat to destroy Mr. Felano in the general election. The public isn’t going to elect a gimmick candidate to investigate homicides and human trafficking. We need to be honest with ourselves about that because the truth is a Democratic Erie County Sheriff will hurt our gun rights.

Who our next Erie County Sheriff is will set the tone for what will happen to your Second Amendment rights here in Erie County. You can expect your rights – particularly your pistol permit rights – to be severely curtailed under a Democratic Sheriff. You can expect a Democratic candidate to get elected if a no-experienced, no-name like Mr. Felano ever winds up as the Republican Candidate for Sheriff.

Second Amendment voters, you have been warned. Let’s put a stop to this before they can damage our chances of retaining the Erie County Sheriff’s Office. Let’s make sure that we elect Second Amendment supporter and Sheriff Howard-endorsed John Garcia as Erie County Sheriff.

Anyone who has any questions, please forward them to: the1791society@outlook.com

Sincerely,

Frank J. Panasuk
President
The 1791 Society

I have already decided that I will be supporting Garcia as well.

That’s funny that’s exactly what I do. I wrote in why no choice or anyone but this asshole.
They do it on purpose by the way and the parties collaborate on who they want in. I pick this year and you pick next year kind of thing. Except the republicans are always moderate democrats and the liberals are always far right.
I had to throw the liberal chick off my porch a few years ago because she was looking for signatures. I told her I wouldn’t sign for the liberals. She told me it didn’t matter and to just sign it. I said it matters to me leave!! She didn’t come back.

Well this is hilarious because I remember about 3 years ago I went to one of the 1791 meetings and since I was a visitor they wanted my name, address, phone number, and email. I refused as it was a public meeting and didn’t want my info out there. They refused to let me in. When I asked what they were doing with all this info and if they would make it public they had no clue at all. I take zero stock in the 1791 association or anything they say because wait for it the main speaker that night was James Ostrowski. Now they release this statement and bash him. I guess it has been a few years but I can also say sherif Tim Howard was there so maybe this Garcia guy is a Howard lackey. I will say if goperfect is voting for Garcia that makes me feel better about him.

 

[GOPerfect]

At will employer.

This opens a really big can that I do not believe we all want to go down.

All Deputy's are Civil Service. They are all represented by a Union. A Sheriff cannot just fire a Deputy because he wants to or does not agree with an arrest. This, again, is reality.

You bring up an unConstituional law, this is a rabbit role that will turn this thread into a shit show. The way that the local courts would see all of this is that until a higher court rules against a law, that law is valid. We do not agree to this, I get that, but, that is our system of law and order.

If a Sheriff were to fire for example, a Deputy that arrested on a SAFE Act crime, he would immediately get his time back and be paid for all time missed from work.

I have only met him a couple of times. I know people that worked for him in the past, they all say he is a stand up guy. Again, only time will tell, but as of now, all that I have filed, he will be the one that I support next year.

Dude, public meeting? Sign in as Freddy Fudpucker with your non-existent voter ID. Ostrowski has been on the backslide w/1791. Felano basically aligned himself with some fringe people who are attention seekers more than effective in 2A pursuits.

This is why I think there shouldn't be public unions, any public unions. Just another example of good for me not for thee.

The words of a desperate man threatened by an outsider with a credible campaign platform. Actually I seem to remember a guy running for president who was an outsider. The establishment insisted he wasn't qualified because he had no legal or political experience. They said it would be disastrous for this country. I also remember a lot of members here supporting that president.

Frank sounds like the kind of guy that would have voted for the ballot suppression bill that made the requirements for 3rd party recognition virtually impossible to attain in NYS.

 

[Acer-m14]

State LE/court issues a fine, the feds get it.

The feds issue a fine, well, they don't balance a budget anyway, but it goes to the general fund, not the agency that issued it.

send both to the social security fund instead ...
