Open letter to Mayor Michael Bloomberg :

Running for public office means that you are asking the citizens of New York for their trust. Based on your record of the last 8 years, we know all too well that we cannot trust you. No, sir. Not at all.

When ConEdison neglected its infrastructure, and the lights went out in my neighborhood of Astoria for two weeks, days had to pass before you realized that 174,000 people were without power -- and were powerless to do anything about it. Being mayor means that we depend and rely on you to stand up for us.

When George W. Bush ordered the invasion of Iraq, many New Yorkers did not support the war. Even though we had proper permits, NYPD put up barricades and the MTA shut down subways to keep us from peacefully attending our rallies. We have a right to gather and express ourselves. Our mayor should not be suppressing the voices in our community.

After you won the bid to host the 2004 Republican National Convention in our city, you thought it was perfectly fine to arrest over 1,800 protesters. The people you arrested were detained under false pretenses until a court effectively forced you to set them free. I wasnt arrested, but, at the time, I belonged to a small group called, Gays Against Bush. The New York Times reported that NYPD was collecting information about our meetings and our rallies. How can the citizens trust their mayor, when he is so quick to squash our freedom of expression ?

For the 8 straight years that you have been in office, the Rent Guidelines Board has systematically raised regulated rents in our city. And any time that the MTA has wanted to jack up our fares, it gets away with it. You havent even noticed that NYU is the second-coming of Robert Moses, because while NYU is tearing down historical houses or evicting cultural landmarks, you have been busy closing down firehouses and advocating for the construction of more football stadiums.

The city has changed under your 2 terms, and not for the better. You are constitutionally incapable of relating to the concerns of the average New Yorker. And now you come, asking us to trust you with four more years ? You dont know what trust means, Mr. Mayor. It means that we give you our permission to run our city for two terms, and you return it to us unharmed after your two terms are over.

After voters have twice passed a referendum for term limits, why would you unilaterally help yourself to a third term ? The answer is because you cannot be trusted. We can no longer trust you to run our city. After these 2 long terms, there is no longer any trust left to give.

  • It's sad to see that the content of these videos is just thinly veiled antisemitism.

  • I beg your pardon. I resent your comment, and I will not allow it to stand here on my video unanswered. I don't care if Mayor Bloomberg was a Catholic or a non-believer. Neither his faith or heritage is what is at issue here : it's all about his record. And I will not allow anybody to make an issue of his faith. This is supposed to be a progressive city, where tolerance and acceptance of each other should matter.

  • @astoria25 I'm not talking about you, but the comment of oscarvmaldonado among others.

  • @hoochee003 Is your account still active ? You've been reported to the police and to Google for all of the spamming and harassment that you perpetuate over YouTube. You have a history of harassing and stalking my friend, Suzannah. I hope you don't start in with me. As you can plainly see, Suzannah and I only talk about the issues that concern New Yorkers, and how miserably the mayor has failed the city, as a whole, since he took office.

  • The view count on this video is no longer being updated by YouTube, so the number of people who have watched it is larger than what YouTube is publicly reporting.

  • Michael Bloomberg think us new yorkers are the f ing fukin jew tribe he was born into,..forget him and lets take back the city of N.Y with art , music and freedom..the things us new yorkers cherish more than his fuking settlements he worships.

  • If you are disappointed with the mayor for the countless ways that he has failed us, I can understand your anger. But denouncing his religion is not the right thing to do. This is a democracy, and we the people have a right to vote. Exercising your right to vote will get him out of office for all the reasons that he has failed us -- not on account of his religion. We need to be the ones that set the example for tolerance, something the mayor has been unable to do.

  • If I had done anything wrong, you wouldn't be handing out all these absurd warning. You would simply collect evidence and prosecute. But you know that commenting on videos is not a crime, so you resort to bluffing and making false accusations.

    My understanding is that people post videos and allow comments, because they wish for a lively discussion of the issues, not the resounding echo of yesmen. I am happy to discuss the issues any time.

  • @hoochee002 I am going to talk with an NYPD det. tomorrow. It is harassment to continue to stalk people as you do on YouTube as well as steal identities. For instance your emails have been forwarded and we will discuss them with the NYPD tomorrow how I blocked you and you found away to continue to harass me and send comments. Be very sure your comments are being shared with NYPD, legal dept. google, lawyers and more.

  • @astoria25 I may or may not have been reported to the police, Google, or whomever else, but that wouldn't matter, because I haven't done anything wrong. If you choose to believe the false accusations of unreliable people, that is fine, but they are still false. I do not harass or stalk anyone, and if you examine Suzannah's activities, you will find that harassing and stalking is precisely what she does to Christine Quinn, Mike Bloomberg, and others.

  • I get a -13 rating for exposing you (fake) TonyAvella? It shows you have many accounts and soon you will hav none!

    Don't believe TonyAvella (spelled with 2 lowercase 'L's and another account with two uppercase 'i's)! He's out to ruin the REAL Tony Avella's rep.

  • shat up, yur nothing but a wak con artist

  • No, no, no, not the best mayor, you're mistaken...hes not a mayor. Hes the best KING we have ever had. Well, since her since his majesty pre 1776 that is.

  • What!??! you moron, you know nothing of the fine arts and music, or the culutre of this city. If you did you'd realize how close you'd be to all us Jewish NYers at any given moment. Welcome to "Hymyh-town" you dumb mother fucker!!... ...You sound like a walking contradiction you moron.
