Earlier today Teachout and Wu attempted to file suit against Gov 1% and his conservative minion Hochul to stop the democratic party of working on behalf of their campaign for fund raising, direct mailings and other campaign expenditures. Well the suit was thrown out a little while ago as the defendants claimed that a 2006 case struck down the law that Teachout and Wu were staking their claim on. Wu still believes that the suit has merit and may seek to pursue it on Monday - the day before the election.
From the AP:
ALBANY, N.Y. (AP) — A judge has declined New York governor's race candidate Zephyr Teachout's request to prevent the state Democratic Party and Gov. Andrew Cuomo's (KWOH'-mohz) campaign from further cooperation before their primary.
Now that being said - Teachout was at the Labor day parade where Gov 1% and his minion were walking around attempting to be one of the dirty masses they so actively work against. Well someone managed to capture on video a telling minute in which Zephyr Teachout attempts patiently and politely to shake Gov 1%'s hand. He refused to make eye contact, acknowledge that she is even there - in spite of tapping the conservative Hochul on the shoulder.
Stay classy. There is a reason you don't get out of Albany that much. You can't be bothered to talk to the little people or those who threaten your good old boys life. Kudo's to Teach out for remaining patient and calm in the face over overwhelming asshole.
Can't wait to vote for Teachout and Wu next Tuesday. Please spread the word or talk to anyone you know of. I've learned the SEIU has endorsed Gov 1% and am deeply ashamed of SEIU for their lack of solidarity with the other unions that have been shut out of the bargaining process by this conservadem's administration.
Check out the video as Teachout is snubbed by Gov 1% in the video at the labor day parade..
