Mt. Vernon Independent Democrats "Our Mission"

“If that body of elected officials are ignorant, reckless and corrupt, it is because the people tolerate ignorance, recklessness and corruption. As members of Mt. Vernon Independent Democrats we will demand any fraud of the people be stopped.”

The Mt. Vernon Independent Democrats (MVID) will use innovative grassroots organizing strategies to help candidates break through the political glass ceiling. The MVID will target and mobilize support for all the races (including any important ballot measures) in one coordinated campaign. We also recruit and endorse strong community activist early in their political careers, recognizing that a candidate may have to run more than once to win.

The Mount Vernon Independent Democrats will be the voice for residents of Mt. Vernon in the politics of the Democratic Party. Born from the idea of the need of reform of the usual party boss rule for political gain without gain for the people in Mt. Vernon that includes all ethic groups and economic backgrounds.

As Independent Democrats we will continue to support progressive government and issues, help elect honest and intelligent public officials, and supports deserving and qualified judicial candidates. We serve as a direct conduit to local elected officials, organize forums to introduce prospective candidates to the voters, and then organize support behind our endorsed candidates.

With the MVID dedicated membership, and its network with other grassroots and community organizations, the MVID offers distinct benefits to both the candidates and the causes we support, as well as to the people who contribute to them. This is an organization "For the People and by the People."

Republicans Jim Coughlan and Rob Astroino have No Place in New York Government

It seems like New York State Republicans feel they can just do what they want when it comes to African Americans.

It has been reported that New York State Republican Jim Coughlan took his racist rants to twitter by calling MSNBC Melissa Harris-Perry in response to remarks she made about child-rearing that upset many conservatives.
“Keep your stinking paws off my kid, you damned dirty ape.” Coughlan tweeted.

A hateful association between Blacks and monkeys or apes was yet another way that the antebellum South justified slavery. Blacks were considered by some Whites to be more simian than human, and therefore had no self-evident rights, including freedom

Jim Coughlan is currently the Dutchess County controller and a candidate for state Senate.

What kind of New York Government will we have with Coughlan in the Senate and Astorino as Governor?
We have reported earlier that Republican Westchester County Executive Rob Astorino has his own ways of using racial "code words" in his campaign for Governor. 

Mr. Astorino is using the "local zoning laws", his "overreaching of government stance", labeling an organization "social justice"  with a dash of anti- Obama by using "cronies in DC" to scare a certain type of voter that believes in his separatist mindset to the poles.  read here
 
Republicans Coughlan and Astorino are using Race in different ways  to activate voters and motivate them to the polls. To believe otherwise—is absurd.
