Saturday Night Advice for U.S. Voters Next Tuesday (1940) BY Prof. John Q. Barrett

The Yonkers Connection

On November 2, 1940, the Saturday before Election Day, Robert H. Jackson, the Attorney General of the United States, delivered the principal speech at a political meeting outside of New York City.  That year featured a presidential election that Jackson and many believed would be close and, for Democrats, possibly a defeat:  President Franklin D. Roosevelt, seeking an unprecedented third term, was on the ballot against Republican Party nominee Wendell Willkie.  Many races for the United States Senate and the United States House of Representatives, where the Democrats held majorities, also were tight contests.

The Hezitorial: Say “Yes!” to Yonkers, by Voting, “No!” to Phil Amicone BY Hezi Aris

Yonkers City Council to Pay Mayor Amicone’s Failed $8 Million First Amendment Rights 

Mayor Phil Amicone learned a very expensive lesson in Constitutional law when he lost a lawsuit for wrongfully seizing news racks and copies of The Westchester Guardian. At Mayor Amicone’s behest and charge, The Yonkers Police Department was employed to issue summonses against The Westchester Guardian employees attempting to hand out the paper about Yonkers City Hall. DPW Commissioner John Liszewski testified he was specifically demanded to take away two such news racks and dutifully complied.  Mayor Amicone went up against the U.S. Consitution and lost in the Federal courtroom of the Hon. Cathy Seibel. He is now personally saddled by an $8 million  jury awarded judgment owed to 16 people employed by publisher Sam Zherka. Initially jubilant over the win, Yonkersites are now worried they will have to pay the $8 million judgment.

Mayor Phil Amicone

City of Yonkers

By Fax: 914-377-6048

Dear Mayor Amicone,

My name is Bronson Trevor, Jr. and I am writing on behalf of the entire Trevor family.

As you know, the Trevor family—and the Colgate family that had close business ties to the Trevor family— has extensive history in and with the City of Yonkers.  Over the course of a century, Yonkers gained considerable benefit from the charitable acts of the Trevor and Colgate families.  It is because of this that I bring to your attention a serious matter.

Ed Koch Commentary The Coming Political Tsunami By Edward I. Koch

I Predict a Republican Victory of Tsunami Proportions on November 2nd.
 
For the last six months in various public forums, I have said that Republicans will take both the House and Senate.  Most political observers, citing statistics from various states, continue to say that, while it appears certain that the House will go Republican, there are too few Senate seats in play for a Republican takeover.  Further, many pundits state that Democrats will preserve their control of the Senate because the Republican Party has undermined itself by fielding whacko and semi-whacko candidates from the “Tea Party” wing or otherwise offering inferior candidates, e.g., Christine O’Donnell in Delaware, Rand Paul in Kentucky, Sharron Angle in Nevada, Linda McMahon in Connecticut and Carly Fiorina in California.
