Queens rallies to support our police
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.
Every cop in America knows one thing – it could have been him.
The Queens Village Republican Club kicked off the holiday season early with our New York State Republican Party Chairman, Ed Cox’s call for GOP unity. A delicious hot buffet dinner was served and there was a toy drive to benefit orphans and children of domestic violence, sponsored by the NYPD 104th Precinct. Over 100 people celebrated together at the St. Anne’s Council meeting hall at the Glen Oaks Knights of Columbus on December 4th for the annual QVGOP Holiday Party to partake in the holiday joy and spirit of camaraderie and giving.
Who Speaks for US?
We are deeply saddened to learn the news of the passing of our beloved Harvey Moder, husband of Mary. Harvey was born on September 7, 1926 and passed away on Monday, December 1, 2014. As a past president of the Queens Village Republican Club, Harvey was the human dynamo responsible for our Club’s revival over 20 years ago. He has been active and attending board meetings up until the present time.
Try taking a guess where Ed Cox, the Republican Party Committee chairman for New York state, got his first job after graduating from Princeton University in 1968. If you guessed that this scion of centuries-old American families with names sounding like they came from the encyclopedia of the American aristocracy—the Finches, Coxes, Livingstons, and Delafields—began his professional career as a financier in a large pedigreed titled Wall Street financial firm, you would have offered a reasonable guess. But you’d be wrong.
