Two-faced Lee. Version 2021

SWEET LEE (Jan 21, 2021)

Dear xxx,

Ideally, the commitment of all Americans each and every day should be to work towards unity and pursue a better course for our nation. Oftentimes, we will not agree on exactly how to best move America forward, but how we debate and disagree is especially critical. Respectful disagreement is a protected and treasured American value, and there will be many vibrant debates to be had over the next four years. Let us work towards ensuring they will always remain in the spirit that serves the betterment of our great country.President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris took a sacred oath yesterday to our Constitution and our country as part of yesterday’s peaceful transition of power in a ceremony that has long been familiar to and celebrated by freedom-loving Americans.The months and years ahead are filled with great challenges and great opportunities for a country that truly does need less violence in our streets, more positivity in our hearts, and more understanding among our people.

Best Regards,Lee Zeldin
Member of Congress

NASTY LEE (Jan 21, 2021)

Friends,

Today is the first full day of the new Biden-Harris administration, which means it’s the first full day of Democrats jamming through their very disastrous priorities for America.

Logan sent you an email yesterday outlining Biden’s 100 day plan that will destroy small businesses, eliminate jobs, weaken our pursuit of energy independence, and embolden our adversaries like Iran by rejoining the Iran Nuclear Deal as is.

Biden, Harris, and Pelosi have made one thing clear, friend: their priorities aren’t our priorities and the rest of us better not sit back one minute and go quietly into the night while the country we love gets rolled.

This is why my team started the 48-hour Fight for Lee Fund yesterday.

We still have a few hours until our deadline, and we still need $5,450 to reach our fundraising goal!

Join in our fight against the radical left’s power grabs and ideologies. Donate a 2X-MATCHED gift now! >>>

Thank you,

Don’t Make Me Laugh

David Posnett — Thu, 13 Sep 2018 14:41:01 +0000

By Perry Gershon:

Lee Zeldin wants you to think he’s an environmentalist. He’s spending big bucks blasting that absurd idea across Long Island television.

Don’t make me laugh.

In his four years in Congress, Lee has voted against the environment over and over again. He’s taken tens of thousands of dollars from the oil and gas industry to prop up his campaign.

It’s no wonder Lee opposed protecting the environment on 21 out of 22 votes.

Lee opposed seven bills on air quality protections.

He opposed protections for clean water 19 different times.

He opposed protecting wildlife eight times.

And he continues to stand by a president who insists climate change is a Chinese hoax.

Get the idea? Lee Zeldin is no friend of the environment, of clear air and water, or protecting our planet for future generations.

Long Island voters have a clear choice in November.

I promise to work tirelessly to protect the environment – whether that be our clear air, clean water, clean energy production, or protecting wildlife.

Lee’s record is clear, and that’s just another reason why he has to go.

Donate $5 right now. Let’s show Zeldin we won’t stand for his hypocrisy on the environment.

Lee Zeldin’s Duplicity on Environmental Issues

David Posnett — Tue, 07 Mar 2017 03:49:33 +0000

Marc Rauch, from Bellport, New York. had the following letter in the March 2, 2017 edition of the Long Island Advance:

I was taken aback by Rep. Lee Zeldin’s “official positions” on protection of the environment, as reported last week in the Advance. Mr. Zeldin declares: “I am committed to safeguarding our environment, and protecting and preserving the abundance of natural resources on Long Island that are so important to our life, culture and economy.”

Mr. Zeldin’s statement is difficult to square with the nonpartisan League of Conservation Voters National Environmental Scorecard, which coincidentally also came out last week. According to this latest annual tally of votes in Congress affecting the environment, Mr. Zeldin earned a rating of only 11% (out of a possible 100%) for his first term in office. This means that Mr. Zeldin voted to harm the environment, not to help the environment, 89% of the time! Again according to the League’s tally, only two members of New York’s 29-member congressional delegation have a worse environmental record in Congress than Mr. Zeldin’s.

In the new Congress, which began in January, Mr. Zeldin has already voted to kill regulations preventing coal mines from dumping toxins into mountain streams, voted to kill regulations curbing wasteful and polluting methane leaks at thousands of oil and gas wells across the West, and voted for procedural changes that will make it easier for industry to scuttle new environmental safeguards before they can even take effect. His votes against the mountain stream and methane rules are particularly troubling because they came under the seldom-used Congressional Review Act; if Congress votes to roll back regulations under that law, the agency that issued them is barred from ever issuing “substantially similar” regulations again.

Mr. Zeldin assures us that his concern for the environment is deeply felt and “personal.” His actual votes in Congress tell a very different story, however, and for Long Islanders they can only lead to dirtier air, polluted bays and rivers, vanishing beaches, more severe storms and repeated flooding of our glorious coastline.
