Thank you for visiting Liz's website.  We hope you enjoy your visit!  We'd love to hear from you.  Liz would be happy to speak with you or your group about any issues you'd like to discuss.   Click here to contact Liz or to volunteer for our campaign.  Many people are urging Liz to run again in 2010, and she is strongly leaning towards another run.

If elected, Liz is committed to serving everyone in our district equally, regardless of party affiliation.  Liz's skills as an attorney who has investigated and prosecuted major fraud, safety and human rights cases, as well as her tax law background, common sense, knowledge of our community from decades of living here, human decency and civility, willingness to listen and sort through various viewpoints, and dedication to our country's security, will enable her to carefully investigate the issues which come before Congress, and to do the best for the people in our district and our country.  Liz is not a politician; rather, she is a concerned citizen, University of Chicago-educated attorney, investigator, mother, grandmother and member of our community who is well equipped to provide our district with excellent representation. 

 Information on the Issues:  A wealth of information about current issues is available on this site, and we will continue to add more.  Please see Liz's Blog for discussions of recent events and issues.  Also check here for the latest news.  Also click here to see a summary of the important issues of Liz's 2008 campaign, many of which would also apply to 2010.  These include:  Common Sense Tax Relief; Energy Independence; Protecting Citizens who Report Suspicious Terrorist Activities; An End to Sending Out tax Dollars to Groups that Support Terror Against America and Israel; Consumer Safety and Children's Safety; Honoring All Out Citizens' Holidays; and Ethics in Government.

Liz has also answered various surveys which you can view for more information.  These include: Liz's answers to the Act for America Survey- click here or Act for America's site or Liz's responses;  and a comparison of Elizabeth Berney and Gary Ackerman's responses to a variety of issues on the Vote-NY.org webiste.  Also see the wcbstv Voters' Guide comparison of positions.  (However, note that the opponent's suvey answers ignore his anti-energy independence votes and high tax / high spending votes.   Click here for more info.)  Also see the candidates' responses to AARP's questions:  http://www.aarp.org/makeadifference/advocacy/voters-guide/voters_guide_channel.response.4552.322/

Upcoming speech at Israel Day Parade Concert in Central Park  - Sunday May 31:  Liz has been invited to be a speaker at the Free Israel Day Parade Concert in Central Park (entrance at 72nd and 5th Ave), which will take place from 2:30 to 7:30 p.m. on Sunday May 31st.  All are invited. Come for a great afternoon of very brief speeches by some of your favorite folks and great music! 

(Thanks to his nasty comments in Congress accusing Israelis of perpetrating "pogroms" against Palestinians, our current Congressman has not been invited to speak there.   Other elected officials will be speaking.) 

Petitioning for our 2009 Candidates:  Liz will be joining the door-to-door petitioning  in June and July for a great group of Republican candidates who are running in Nassau County and Queens County in the November 2009 local elections (including George Maragos, Ed Mangano, Maureen O'Connell, Dan Halloran & Bob Friedrich, to name a few).  If you're interested in joining the petitioning effort, please write to Liz.  And, if Liz shows up at your door with petitions for you to sign, please feel free to take the time to chat about whatever issues are on your mind!
