Hey Brother, Can You Spare A Dime?

The backdrop is the Great Depression in the 1930s that led to the development of homeless settlements in the country’s major cities—or “Hoovervilles,” an allusion to the then U.S. President Herbert Hoover. Living in tents and shacks, these communities rapidly developed in New York City, especially in Central Park’s then empty reservoir and Riverside Park, but disappeared along with the crisis, writes Diane Jeantet of City Limits magazine back in 2013.
On the anniversary of the U.S. Constitution, September 17th, 2014, the Queens Village Republican Club is proud to throw its full support and enthusiastic endorsement behind Grant Lally. Mr. Lally is the Republican, Conservative and Libertarian candidate for New York’s 3rd Congressional District, a huge district which stretches across three counties from the Northeastern end of Queens, through Nassau and Suffolk. Lally is polling well in the district and enjoys tremendous support in the immigrant community as well as from traditional hard working middle income New Yorkers.
The Queens Village Republican Club commemorates the 13th anniversary of the evil terrorist attack on our nation the morning of September 11, 2001, by remembering our fallen heroes and those who lost their lives in the burning towers, and showing our pride and love of America by flying the American Flag. Our member Frederick Bedell, wrote the following letter which was published in the Times Ledger newspapers requesting that all Americans fly the flag on 9/11 in honor of all those who lost their lives on that fateful day as well as the brave men and women who serve our nation today.
