I'm a translator and a media commentator.
I don’t want us Americans to feel besieged, abandoned, neglected, helpless and bewildered in our own country; I’m sick and tired of how we are played by the democrat-media-governmental complex.
In order to achieve “a more perfect union”, as the Founding Fathers put it – time for US ALL to roll up the sleeves and do our part in Making America Great Again. The world will thank us, too.- STOP. THINK. VOTE REPUBLICAN.
- SAVE NEW YORK.
- LET US BE WORTHY OF THE GOODNESS BESTOWED UPON US BY THOSE WHO CREATED THIS COUNTRY.
TWO: PROTECT OUR CONSTITUTION - Written in 1777, ratified in 1788 the United States Constitution carried our country for 234 years. We Americans Like It This Way. It Works For Us.
THREE: FIX OUR SCHOOLS- School violence is unacceptable. Bullying in schools is a disgrace to the education professionals who work there.
FOUR: PROTECT OUR CHILDREN- Parental rights must not be infringed. It’s necessary to protect our schools at a level our Government is.
FIVE: ENERGY SECURITY IS NATIONAL SECURITY - The United States must become energy–independent; this is a priority; this is our safety net, security, our present and our future. This is the Economic Foundation for Peace in our land and beyond.
SIX: AMERICA’S BUSINESS IS BUSINESS - Our economy is the centerpiece of American Prosperity; curbing the inflation is the priority. Let’s encourage businesses to create more jobs here and throughout the country, take ideology out of our economy, and promote the fact that “a rising tide lifts all boats”.

Campaign website
Dashevsky's campaign website stated the following:
| “ |
ONE: LAW AND ORDER LAW AND ORDER is a must for our city, not just on TV; we need realistic measures to return this place to normalcy, and a solid, serious approach to restoring sanity on our streets and in the subway. Before Bill de Blasio, our former Mayor, New York was the safest large city in US. So it can be done. New York must lead the way in bringing this humanitarian crisis to an end; no one’s going to do it for us.
Written in 1777, ratified in 1788 the United States Constitution carried our country for 234 years. We Americans Like It This Way. It Works For Us. And the big beautiful door will open for those who came to this country legally and peacefully.
This goes hand in hand with two previous issues. School violence is unacceptable. Bullying in schools is a disgrace to the education professionals who work there. Bad reading, bad math, bad knowledge, bad manners, anti–American attitudes have no room in a publicly-funded institution whose own existence relies on success of the American way of life (this could be news to some, but in today’s world everybody’s learning). School choice – public, private, charter etc. – benefits teachers, too as it creates more job opportunities and schedule options. And school vouchers are a beautiful thing for us all.
This goes along with all of the above. Parental rights must not be infringed. If necessary, our schools must be protected at the level our Government is. “Virtual”, online violence must be recognized as such and curbed within the framework of our Constitution, with public interest in mind. Irresponsible media “defining deviancy down” (Sen. Daniel P. Moynihan, D-N.Y.), promoting and glorifying crime, violence, early and unbridled sexuality, racism, hatred – as well as hatred dressed up as “intolerance to intolerance” – shall not be shielded from responsibility for their actions. Repealing Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act that reads "No provider or user of an interactive computer service shall be treated as the publisher or speaker of any information provided by another information content provider" (47 U.S.C. § 230) would be a good start.
The United States must become energy–independent; this is a priority; this is our safety net, our security, our present and our future. This is the Economic Foundation for Peace in our land and beyond. Our Government should make every effort to ensure that new energy sources and technologies prove themselves through a lawful and competitive process, without becoming a disruption for the existing energy delivery system.
Let’s win in 2022 and 2024 and get to WORK – the economy is the centerpiece of American Prosperity. We must curb inflation, this must be another priority. We will encourage and inspire businesses to create more jobs for New Yorkers and throughout the country, take ideology out of our economy, and promote the indisputable fact that “a rising high tide lifts all boats”, all of it through prudent legislative stimuli and taxes that are not confiscatory– we Americans are caring people, but also industrious, resourceful, talented and smart.
In less than two years the current administration has made a complete mess out of this. US foreign policy must promote American interests while looking with both our eyes open at what’s going on in this world. Israel is our historical, strategic and spiritual ally, and this shall remain this way. With his historic "Abraham Accords" President Donald J. Trump has shown the world that there's also a way to create new alliances based on mutual respect and the desire to live in peace.[1] |
