 John Mangelli for U.S. Senate November 2012

 For the people not the special interest.

Allow me to introduce myself.  I am a lawyer, practicing in New York since 1996 and Florida since 1998.  I am also admitted to the United States Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit and Court of International Trade.  I am a Coast Guard Auxiliary member and prior member of the Nassau County Auxiliary Police.  I am the youngest of eight children.  My father is a retired NYCFD Chief.  I am a youth coach, husband and father of three.  I graduated from Commack High School North, went to Suffolk County Community College, then SUNY Farmingdale then graduated from the University of Maryland, College Park.  After graduating college I worked in Asia(Japan, Korea) for AFES a/k/a the Armed Forces Exchange Services.  I worked on military bases all over Asia and it was my first experience with the military and I loved it.  I left Japan to go to law school in Michigan.  I graduated from Thomas Cooley Law School in 1995 and was admitted in New York in 1996.  I may not have been a scholar but I was elected the President of my student body, President of the Italian law society and class representative of the American Bar Association.  I received awards such as most distinguished student.  I became a lawyer because as a young boy I wanted to protect the animals, ocean and the environment.  My father said that if I wanted to make a difference I would first have to become a lawyer.  Life put these goals on hold until recently.  For many years I wanted to make a difference but starting a new business and raising a family is where I put my time.  This year I made a decision not to sit back and hope the politicians running for office will actually do some good.  This year I took it upon myself, knowing my shortcomings to see if there are people out there that feel the same way I do.  I collected about 27,000.00 signatures from Long Island, NYC and upstate New York to get the opportunity to be placed on the ballot this November as a candidate for U.S. Senator.  Everyone is looking for a change and I can provide that by being an independent common sense candidate.  

No more borrowing on the backs of the tax payers.  I have personally experienced the pain that many New Yorkers are feeling and most of it probably is not their fault.  How can you protect yourself from greed and deceit on top of taxes?  I am fiscally conservative and I will fight against spending money we don’t have.  It’s hard out there and we need to keep as much of our own money in our own pockets as possible.  

You can trust that I will advocate for common sense and public opinion.  I stand for a Nation where honesty and hard work pays off.  I stand for believing in God, whatever God you believe in.  I’m not an angel and I’m not applying for the saint position.   

I have represented New Yorkers in all kinds of legal matters, however my practice has been predominately litigation, foreclosure defense and debt related matters.  I have tried to save people from the horror of foreclosure and in most cases have been successful.  I have represented individual clients during my entire practice and I know the trouble New Yorkers are facing.

I am born and raised in New York.  I’m running because I want to return the power to the people.  Everything I want as a candidate I want as a constituent.  Whatever I want for myself I want for you.

I will only make promises that I can keep.  I can promise you that if I was elected you would have a say.  My job is to educate you on the issues and let you decide.  The decisions must be made by the voters of New York, not one person or special interest.

This is the only fair way to bring the power back to the people.  This is the only way to have the people rule not be ruled. 

Give me the chance and I won’t let you down.

In addition I believe white collar criminals should receive the same treatment as any other criminal.  They should do the same time in the same jail.  I believe pedophiles should not get special protection in jail.  I believe the environment needs to be protected and human trafficking must be stopped.  I dont believe this really matters but just in case it does, in 2007 I went bankrupt.  There are many reasons I could give you but the bottom line is that my expenses were much greater then my income.   I have learned alot from that experience and I believe it makes me a stronger candidate.  We must be fiscally conservative.  Again these are just my thoughts and before anything would be done you would have a say.  Thank you for your time.
