On March 20, 2022, keynote speaker James O’Keefe, founder of Project Veritas, wowed the crowd at the 147th Anniversary Lincoln Dinner. He gave an enlightening audio-visual presentation on his entirely new type of undercover journalism. His message is to be brave and do something! Years ago, he played Cowboy Curly in the Broadway Show “Oklahoma” and he treated us to an acapella rendition of “Oh What a Beautiful Morning.” VIP Room guests enjoyed an exclusive meet and greet with James O’Keefe, including a free signed copy of his blockbuster bestseller, “American Muckraker.” Here is the video of the entire presentation.

Here are the videotaped speeches of the March 3rd meeting featuring some of our amazing 2022 Republican candidates running in Queens and statewide races and a stimulating Q & A.

Candidate leaves Democrat Party to fight for the people
By Seth “Stavros” Breland
Candidate for NYS Assembly District 25
Born and raised in Northeast, Queens, I have a love for my community, and I am proud of all it provides for its residents. Because of this pride, I want to fight for my neighbors and make certain Northeast Queens continues to flourish in all aspects; educationally, economically, and socially. For this reason, I am proud to run for the New York State Assembly to represent the people of District 25.
I am no stranger to public service. For six years, I served on the Community District Education Council 26 and became the student representative during the 2019-2020 school year. I visited classrooms across the area and elevated student, teacher, and family concerns to the council. In addition, I served on the Queens Borough Student Advisory Council and represented North Queens on the NYC Department of Education Chancellor’s Student Advisory Council. In 2018, I was appointed to be a United States Senate Page. My close work with all 100 U.S. Senators afforded me a wonderful experience and opportunity to assist in the day-to-day operations of the United States Senate.
Of course, I am aware that to truly serve my community, I need to be a part of it. I am a long-time tennis player and have been perfecting my game with a city organization since I was six years old. As the years passed, I progressed from player to volunteer coach. I was given the privilege to work with wonderful city youth, an experience that will always be dear to my heart.
This campaign will truly be a community campaign. We will encourage residents that have felt alienated and frustrated with our current elected and the corruption in our city and our state to join our movement. The incumbent, Ed Braunstein, voted for bail reform, voted for congestion pricing, and is part of that corrupt political machine. Mr. Braunstein promises his constituents one thing and then votes another way. He is beholden only to special interests and party leaders, NOT to the people he serves. Mr. Braunstein’s actions have led to unsafe streets, higher living costs, and an attack on our way of life in Eastern Queens. It is politicians like him, that made me leave the Democrat party. No longer could I sit idly by as the Democrat party was pulled left and passed legislation that has made life harder for every New Yorker. Too many people have left our schools, our city, and our state. It is time we fight for the soul of the city, for the soul of the state and we reverse the damage already done.
My campaign will be history-making in more than one way. Not only will I be one of the youngest people to ever be elected to the state legislature in history, but I’ll be the first Greek American and Puerto Rican American to represent this area. I am ready to take on this fight on behalf of this district. I am ready to take up the mantle of leadership to be that local leader who is responsive to his community, who is in his community, and who knows his community. Yes, I am young, but with my youth comes energy and commitment to the goals of this campaign. I will be a tireless advocate, addressing the important issues that continue to plague our home.
We will win and the only way we will win is if we are united in strength. I can’t do this without you. I am fighting to return power back to the people.
