Randy Altschuler's Blog: Town Of Brookhaven Does The Right Thing
Randy Altschuler: Councilman Dan Panico and the Brookhaven Town Board did the right thing on June 15th, by placing a tax cap proposal on the November ballot. If passed by the voters, this legislation will send a clear message; we must not spend more than we take in! The tax cap is a perfect example of the common sense conservative approach to government that I've been talking about on the campaign trail in my effort to oust liberal incumbent Tim Bishop.

Obama malinterpreta a Keynes
Una caída en la inversión es normal en recesiones. El problema esta vez es que las ganancias corporativas están rebotando rápido, aunque las compañías se niegan a reinvertir en nuevos proyectos. "Lo que veo es aprehensión", dijo Randy Altschuler, fundador de CloudBlue, un reciclador de equipos electrónicos, y es candidato republicano para la Cámara. "Los dueños de pequeñas compañías con las que hablo temen por los costos del cuidado a la salud. Por lo tanto, están evitando contratar e invertir su capital".

The best stimulus? Spend less, borrow less
A fall in investment is normal in recessions. The problem this time is that corporate profits are rebounding fast, yet companies are extremely reluctant to reinvest them in new projects. "What I see out there is apprehension," says Randy Altschuler, founder of CloudBlue, a recycler of used electronics equipment, and a Republican candidate for a seat in the House of Representatives from Eastern Long Island. "The owners of small companies I talk to are especially worried about health-care costs. Hence, they're holding back hiring and capital investment."

$13 Trillion and Counting: Our National Debt Grows and Tim Bishop Remains Silent
Randy Altschuler's Blog: Our national debt hovers at a staggering $13 trillion and over the weekend President Obama asked Nancy Pelosi and her allies in Congress to authorize another $50 billion in new spending. If we care about our nation's fiscal well being, the reckless and dangerous spending must end. We need a budget that reflects the tough economic times in which we live and in turn, sets us on the road to recovery by reining-in spending, cutting taxes and shrinking the deficit.

Rob Ryan, Senior Communications advisor to Randy Altschuler, the conservative Republican candidate for Congress (NY-1) today blasted four term liberal incumbent congressman Tim Bishop for trying to block Altschuler from attending the Oil Spill Summit in East Hampton.

Randy Altschuler Stands with the Club for Growth, Renews Pledge to Repeal Obamacare
Randy Altschuler's Blog: The Club for Growth REPEAL IT! Pledge is a no-nonsense affirmation of my belief that the health care plan pushed through Congress by Tim Bishop, Nancy Pelosi, Harry Reid and President Obama is bad for taxpayers and bad for America. This legislation will raise taxes and increase the deficit, while not improving health care for the average American. Real health care will come when we have Tort Reform, a lifting of state barriers on health insurance and a host of other free enterprise solutions. Any candidate for Congress, Republican or Democrat should sign this pledge if they sincerely believe in reforming the American health care system.

Stop the Games - Move Federal Budget Forward
From Randy Altschuler's Blog: Tim Bishop needs to stop playing the cynical games of a career politician and fulfill his moral responsibility to his constituents and the American people. It's understandable that Tim Bishop would like to distance himself from the 2011 federal budget because it's filled with earmarks, pork and waste; it will lead to higher taxes and a bigger deficit and when the American people catch wind of it will lead to defeat at the polls for those who support it.

Randy Altschuler's Blog: Reflections on Memorial Day
Randy Altschuler: "In a nation that stands for freedom, we, as a people, must never forget those who paid the ultimate price so we could be free. Two hundred and thirty four years ago this August, the Battle of Long Island took place and over three hundred patriots died fighting for a nation that was not even two months old. Their sacrifice has been repeated countless times in places with names like Guadalcanal, the Mekong Delta, and Fallujah. This Memorial Day as we sit at the beach, watch a ballgame, or barbeque with family or friends, we should take a few minutes to reflect on those Americans who, with above average courage, have fought and died so we can be free. Their love for this country should only be surpassed by the love and respect that we, as a nation, have for them."
