Lincoln Dinner

“These are the future soldiers for the strength of our democracy and the vitality of the Grand Old Party.”

The next generation, now commonly known as millennials, are seen as the generation without commitment or the “Peter Pan generation.”  Each generation depends upon the next generation to carry the torch for our country and party. Freedom is not free. It’s something that has to be fought for each and every day. This is a commitment that requires perseverance and eternal vigilance.

Adam Sackowitz is our “Youth of the Year” honoree at the Queens Village Republican Club’s annual Lincoln Day Dinner gala on Feb 9^th.  Ryan James Girdusky, a young political commentator, consultant and writer, will be presenting the award to Adam.  These are the future soldiers for the strength of our democracy and the vitality of the Grand Old Party. Freedom cannot be taken for granted. Adam and Ryan are on the front lines as the young protectors of our freedom.

Cathy Donohoe, member of
Joint Parish Respect Life Committee,
speaking at Press Conference

On behalf of the Queens Village Republican Club, I would like to thank all the media outlets who covered our “Cuomo Outrage” press conference at Queens Borough Hall last Tuesday. Thanks for helping to make our voices heard in protest of Governor Cuomo’s intolerant remarks directed against a large swath of New Yorkers with politically different opinions than himself, that they should leave New York State.

While we embrace the entire spectrum of Republican perspectives from moderate to conservative, we do not consider the particular conservative views condemned and categorized by our Governor, and recently in a statement by Mayor de Blasio, as “extreme.” The majority of Americans hold pro-life beliefs, support the Second Amendment and traditional marriage. It is illustrative of the arrogance of power for a governor and a mayor to demonize a wide segment of the New York population because of their beliefs.
