Two weeks ago, Cuomo repealed the COVID-19 state of emergency with much fanfare. The extraordinary move comes as polling last week showed the governor to be unpopular among New Yorkers, with a majority in Siena College’s poll last week saying he should not run again for reelection, although most approved of his handling of the COVID-19 pandemic.

The Liberty Beacon Project is now expanding at a near exponential rate, and for this we are grateful and excited! But we must also be practical.

So we have just installed donation buttons on our websites and ask that you consider this when you visit them. Nothing is too small. We thank you for all your support and your considerations … (TLB)
