<link>http://www.northcountrypublicradio.org/news/story/21582/20130308/bob-schulz-dangerous-radical-or-voice-for-liberty</link>
<description><![CDATA[ (Mar 8, 2013) Next week, Governor Andrew Cuomo&apos;s tough new control law will face its first court challenge. The case was brought by Bob Schulz, a long-time conservative activist who lives on the shore of Lake George. This is only the latest court battle for Schulz, who has made a career as a political gadfly and organizer, battling what he views as government agencies run amok. His campaign has won Schulz accolades from conservative leaders and media outlets across the country, but also fierce criticism from groups that say he flirts with dangerous radicalism.

<description><![CDATA[ (Jan 11, 2013) New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo&apos;s State of the State message was widely perceived as a signal of a leftward turn, with a priority list that include gun control, abortion rights, and raising the minimum wage. But the governor says his ideology hasn&apos;t changed a bit.

<title>Doheny draws Conservative Party nod</title>
<link>http://www.northcountrypublicradio.org/news/story/19352/20120221/doheny-draws-conservative-party-nod</link>
<description><![CDATA[ (Feb 21, 2012) There are growing signs that Republican challenger Matt Doheny from Watertown will have a clear shot at challenging Democratic congressman Bill Owens.Two years ago, Doheny struggled with third-party Conservative Doug Hoffman also in the race. But St. Lawrence County Conservatives now say they are endorsing Doheny in this year&apos;s contest.  Conservative chairman Hank Ford issued a statement yesterday calling Doheny &quot;a true fiscal conservative.&quot;In 2010, Plattsburgh&apos;s Bill Owens prevailed by just 2,000 votes, despite the fact that Republican and Conservative votes were divided. The 23rd district race is expected to be one of the most competitive in the country.

<title>Doug Hoffman: From humble roots to right-wing darling</title>
<link>http://www.northcountrypublicradio.org/news/story/14588/20091023/doug-hoffman-from-humble-roots-to-right-wing-darling</link>
<description><![CDATA[ (Oct 23, 2009) The race to replace John McHugh in Congress is down to its last two weeks.  The high octane and even higher spending campaign is spewing attacks and accusations all over TV and radio as national politicos manage the candidates’ every move.  We’re trying to break through the din with a series of candidate profiles.  You can listen online to the profiles of Democrat Bill Owens and Republican Dede Scozzfava, which aired this week.  Today, it’s Conservative Douglas Hoffman’s turn.  Hoffman blew the race wide open with an aggressive challenge of Scozzafava’s Republican credentials.  He’s building rock-star status among the country’s most polarizing conservatives.  He’s shed the third party “spoiler” status and has picked up lots of ground in the polls.  All this from a family-man accountant born of hardship in the Adirondacks.  David Sommerstein has this profile.

<description><![CDATA[ (Oct 20, 2009) Through the summer, the conservative “tea party” movement gained momentum across the country.  Activist groups protested against what they view as a bloated Federal government.  They also sparked controversy with fierce rhetoric opposing the policies of President Barack Obama. Here in the North Country, Plattsburgh businessman Mark Barie has helped to organize a group called “UNYTEA”.  It stands for The Upstate New York Tea Party.  He spoke about the project with Brian Mann.

<description><![CDATA[ (Jul 3, 2009) On this first Independence Day of the Obama years, liberals may be feeling a sense of pride and triumph. A lot has changed since a year ago, and most of the changes are to their liking. But commentator Paul Willcott, a self-described &quot;big government, tax-and-spend liberal&quot; wants more: from the right, the left, and the in-between. Paul Willcott divides his time between new York City and Saranac lake.
