Danger Growing in Our Backyard?

Thankfully on Election Day last November, a platform of racism and hate was not allowed to be voted into office. Although the candidate had almost as much chance of winning the election as there would be for New York City to be completely clean of pigeons, the fact that the candidate made it to the general election, no less received a respectable, but small, amount of the vote, is appalling.

The Rent is Too Damn High Party (watch out for music on the web pages, if you have speakers on) is apparently still in operation. And they're expecting "3 Million New Yorkers" to attend a citywide rally on the steps of City Hall in July. What the rally is for is anybody's guess as is how they'd find three million New Yorkers and manage to fit them at City Hall, which certainly isn't citywide as it's just a prime piece of real estate in downtown Manhattan.

Even though the party's President is a college student and their vice president is still in high school, the party's racist agenda seems to still be in tact.

As highlighted in this Election Day post, the Rent is Too Damn High Party rants on Jews in Williamsburg and how they force out people that are not Jewish. Nevermind that you could find plenty of non-Jewish people in Williamsburg. Those pages still stand to this day. And there's this little gem on the homepage, about 80% of the way down:

We are calling for an (8) Eight Year Rent Freeze, and a Rent Reduction of the same, because of the existence of (APARTHIDE) that involves:

1.) Rent Guidelines Board

2.) Rent Stabilization Board

3.) Rent Control Board

Members of these Boards are making decisions to Raise Rent for their own financial gain, they are apart of the Landlord and Real-estate Association, and that's a Violation of Federal Law. (US Code - Title 18 - Chapter 11. Conflicts of Interest.)

4.) Every State, and Local Elected Official who are turning their heads looking the other way due to their investment in Real-estate.


As well as the Dismantling, Reforming or the Abolishment of every Housing Department, (Authority) that operates in the state of New York because of the presents of APARTHIDE that is supported Federal, State, and Local Administrators, as well as every elected Official.

APARTHIDE, the Violations of the "Hate Crimes Act," that has resulted in Ethnic Cleansing. As of November 2005 there are over (35) Thirty Five Thousand Newly Rented Apartments Available Now! Renting in Williamsburg Brooklyn the APATRHIDE Headquarters.


The references to "aparthide" (which sounds like a rather silly child's game) are not complemented with any kind of proof of apartheid, in Williamsburg or anywhere else.

This party is suffering from severe cases of delusions of grandeur, among other things.

Among the other accusations and expectations for millions of people to join a stampede at City Hall is this Jimmy McMillan's "candidacy" for Governor this year in which his claims to fame are a couple of news articles about an attack on him in 1993 and also an accusation that he was discriminated against by not being allowed to enter the debates during his campaign for Mayor last year.

There is one wonderful thing on their website, however. You can send your sweetheart a Rent is Too Damn High Valentine Card! Your very special person will remember it for years to come!

Hopefully, this "party" will not get very far in any local, city, or state election. That will be easier to accomplish once their "message" is placed out in the open. Erlene King won only 7% of the votes for the 45th Council District last year. However, this party should not be allowed to gain more votes. Once people know about their platform, they should not be receiving too many more votes in the future.
