New Hyde Park, NY – On Monday, April 28th, the Long Beach Tea Party held its long anticipated candidate forum, the theme of which was “Meet the Congressional candidates for the Fourth C.D.”  It was to be the voters’ first opportunity to see the two Republican candidates, Frank Scaturro and Bruce Blakeman, at the same forum.  (The two Democratic candidates were not expected since one declined the invitation from the meeting organizer and the other did not respond.)  Blakeman, however, cancelled about half an hour before the meeting began, so Scaturro was the only candidate who appeared.

With Easter and Passover behind us, the school year’s end and summer vacation are just a blink-of-an-eye away!  But as all parents, grandparents, well-meaning friends and relatives will attest: before slipping into flip-flops and heading for the beach, there’s end-of-year school work to be done.

The excitement of planning and attending communions, prom, barbecues, end-of-year parties, after-party parties (you-name- it) lure us away from the not-so-fun responsibilities like research papers, final exams and the homework and review necessary to insure success long after this coming summer ends.

There probably aren’t too many people reading this who would disagree.  But a good number are probably wondering what this has to do with Frank Scaturro running for Congress.

Congratulations to the Garden City Chamber of Commerce on another - its 59^th! - Easter Vintage Car Parade!  Yesterday I rode with my friend Mark Adler in his 1931 Model A.  This colorful, nostalgic community event has become an Easter Sunday tradition for me!

NASSAU COUNTY BOARD OF ELECTIONS, MINEOLA--The Scaturro campaign is filing 629 “Opportunity to Ballot” petition signatures with the Nassau County Board of Elections today--well over double the 265 required to ensure a write-in line for Scaturro on the June 24 Conservative Party primary ballot.

Our federal tax code is well over 3 million words long - a testament to the influence of special interests.  And our corporate tax rate is now the highest in the industrialized world.

We need real, fundamental change.

We are making steady progress with Conservative signatures.

First, let me thank all of you who helped with our Republican petition drive.  Our goal was to double the 1,250 signatures legally required to get Frank on the ballot, and I am pleased to report that we exceeded that goal, submitting 2,537 signatures.  This is a significant achievement, especially given how many people wanted to carry petitions for Frank but did not, having faced intimidation by the machine that propped up Frank's opponent.

March went quickly, and the April 10th filing deadline for Republican petitions is almost here. 

We really need your help THIS WEEK.  

If you could get 10 signatures, that would be a tremendous help!
