On May 25th, Memorial Day the Queens Village Republican Club parade unit proudly marched behind our banner in the Little Neck-Douglaston Memorial Day Parade, the largest hometown Memorial Day Parade in America. It was a great day and solemn occasion overflowing with patriotism as we honored those who paid the ultimate sacrifice defending our freedoms. We celebrated America’s 250th Anniversary, and marched with hundreds of other parade units to honor our veterans, active-duty troops and fallen heroes on Memorial Day.
Reporter at large, Robert Pearl covered our May 7th club meeting in depth in QNS.com. He wrote: “The Queens Village Republican Club packed its banquet hall at the Marbella Restaurant in Bayside on Thursday, May 7, for a wide-ranging and energetic general club meeting focused on local elections, grassroots activism, voter integrity efforts and plans for America’s 250th anniversary celebrations.” Read the full article.

The new Iranian leaders are “playing” Trump as he was “playing” them early on but the tides of the Strait of Hormuz are turning. How? By slowing down and stopping the oil, gas, fertilizer and cargo ships from leaving the Strait of Hormuz, raising the prices of goods and services as well as oil, gas and fertilizer which will continue to raise the price of food and fuel internationally. That is a given. Is Trump’s “Art of the Deal” failing? That is their (Iran’s leaders) Ace in the hole but the United States could have a Royal Flush.
The main purpose of participating in the petitioning process is to secure ballot placement for our Republican candidates, but its importance goes far beyond ballot access. Direct voter contact is indispensable. It is the vital link through which our Republican neighbors learn about candidates, upcoming elections, club meetings, and the truth that too often is drowned out by misinformation from social networks and unreliable news sources. It is also at the heart of the work of a Republican county committeeman, what Dan Schultz famously called “the most powerful political office in America,” in explaining the Precinct Strategy.
During March, designating petitions for our local Republican candidates were circulated throughout Queens. Collecting signatures from Republican neighbors helps our candidates qualify for the ballot in the June 23 Primary Election and the November 3 General Election. Securing a place on the ballot is the first critical step toward electing Republicans to public office.
