VIDEO: TURNER RELEASES FIRST TV SPOT, “Fight Back”

Contact:  Jessica Proud, 914-438-5325       FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE CONGRESSMAN TURNER RELEASES FIRST SENATE TELEVISION SPOT “Fight Back” Highlights Historic Win Over Obama Agenda   New York–May 31…Congressman and U.S. Senate candidate Bob Turner (R-NY-9) today released the first television spot in his campaign to defeat the nation’s “Most Liberal Senator*,” Kirsten Gillibrand (D-WFP).  The 30-second spot entitled “Fight Back” highlights Congressman Turner’s historic win over the Obama Agenda last September, when he gained national and international media attention for running against the President’s failed policies and winning a House seat that had not been held by a Republican since 1922.  “Fight Back,” produced by Patrick Media, begins airing today in select media markets around New York State. The ad, attached here, features national television commentary about the Turner House election and a New York Post cover the day after the Congressman’s historic victory reading: “Wham Bam!,” referring to Mr. Turner’s winning campaign against the Obama Agenda.  The “Fight Back” script is available here. “Make no mistake about it, Kirsten Gillibrand is beatable,” Congressman Turner said, “but it will take a disciplined and sustainable campaign effort. Ms. Gillibrand holds an agenda identical to the one we ran and won against last year and it is fundamentally at odds with what is in the best interest of New York State. Creating jobs, rebuilding this economy, and reducing the tax burden on New York families requires that we relegate the Obama-Gillibrand Agenda to the ash heap of history.”  Congressman Turner is leading a three-candidate field in a June 26 Republican primary according to recent polls. ### *Kirsten Gillibrand is ranked The Most Liberal Senator in America by National Journal.  Bazzo 05/31/12

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE CONTACT: Bill O’Reilly (917) 922-5115   NYSAIF ANNOUNCES RADIO AD: CRIMINALS Calls on the Assembly to Pass “Alice’s Law”    Albany, NY-May 31…New Yorkers Stand Against Insurance Fraud today released a new radio advertisement entitled Criminals, alerting New Yorkers to one of the state’s fastest growing crimes and calling on the Assembly to immediately pass “Alice’s Law,” legislation that would make staging an auto accident a Class D felony.   Listen to the spot here.   “The clock is ticking on the 2012 legislative session and the Assembly has still not passed ‘Alice’s Law,’ despite it sailing through the senate virtually unopposed,” said NYSAIF spokesman David Schwartz. “This is a matter of safety and protection for New York drivers and we are imploring Speaker Silver to bring the bill to the floor for an up or down vote. New Yorkers cannot wait another year for this growing crime to be addressed.”   The ad will run beginning today through the end of session. The full script is below.   Announcer:   When you buckle your kids in the car, make sure they’re in tight.   There are predators on the road, criminals, trying to hit you.   They do it for insurance money, using vehicles as weapons.   Tens of thousands of accidents are staged in New York every year, costing drivers millions and putting lives in danger.   Ask Alice Ross’s family. She was killed in a staged accident.   Tell the State Assembly to pass Alice’s Law Now. Paid for by New Yorkers Stand Against Insurance Fraud.     ###    Bazzo 05/31/12

Family of Alice Ross: “Mr. Speaker, Bring ‘Alice’s Bill’ to the Floor

Having trouble viewing this email?Click here

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE CONTACT: Jessica Proud (914) 438-5325   FAMILY OF ALICE ROSS: “MR. SPEAKER, BRING ‘ALICE’S BILL’ TO THE FLOOR” Bill to Crack Down on Criminals Who Stage Auto Accidents Stalled in Assembly   Albany, NY–May 30…The family of Alice Ross, a Queens woman who was killed in a staged auto accident by criminals committing insurance fraud today implored Speaker Silver to allow “Alice’s Bill” to come to the floor for a vote in the Assembly.   “Alice’s Bill” would establish a new felony-level crime of staging a motor vehicle accident. It would be a class D felony, punishable by up to seven years in prison. The bill overwhelmingly passed the Senate in March with a vote 58-1.   “This bill is a no-brainer and would go a long way toward protecting the safety of New York drivers against criminals who are on our roads every day looking for the next victim that will give them a pay day,” said Alice Ross’s brother, Don Peters. “Alice needlessly lost her life to this growing crime and the longer we go without addressing it, the more drivers are at risk. On behalf of Alice and the many faceless victims, I’m asking Speaker Silver to please allow this bill to come to the floor for an up or down vote before the end of this year’s session.”   The Assembly version of the bill A.6177, sponsored by Assemblyman David Weprin (D-Queens), is currently under review in the Codes Committee. Ms. Ross was a constituent of Mr. Weprin’s and has been a vocal advocate for the bill’s passage.     Click here for more information on NYSAIF ###  Bazzo 05/31/12
