Who’s protecting our Finest?
A letter by Fred Bedell submitted to local and regional newspapers.
The NYPD had a 70 percent approval rating the day Mike Bloomberg left office. In a year since the new mayor has been elected, many feel this city is not the same. Elections have consequences, and we are seeing those consequences now play out in real time. On Jan. 13 at noon at Queens Borough Hall, 120-55 Queens Blvd in Kew Gardens, you can have the mayor hear your voice. A huge nonpartisan public rally to support and honor the NYPD is being held on that day.
We wish you and your families great joy, love and happiness at Christmas time, and a happy and healthy New Year. We also wish to thank you for your support for our Club and our Republican candidates throughout the year.

When our Police are no longer safe on the streets of New York City, no one is safe.

The following letter by Queens Village Republican Club member Fred Bedell are heartfelt words that must be said. It was sent out to our local Queens weeklies and regional newspapers.

The following letter was published in the “Readers Write” column of the December 19th Times Legder Newspaper.
Supporting our police officers for protecting us day and night, is not a Republican or Democrat political issue, it’s an American issue. The U.S. Constitution was established in order to “…establish justice, insure domestic tranquility, provide for the common defense…” The first job of government is public safety, and to protect our lives and liberties from all enemies, foreign and domestic.

NYPD: Not To Be Trusted?
By Joseph Concannon, NYPD, Captain (Ret)
The NYPD provides a shield to the citizens and residents of New York City 24/7, 365 days a year. This security blanket is composed of over 50,000 honorable men and women from all over the downstate region. The agency is responsible for the public safety of the residents of the city as well as the two to four million people who commute in and out of NY each and every day. By land, sea and air, NYPD covers NYC with courtesy, professionalism and respect.
