Rep. Peter King to Headline the Lincoln Day Dinner
February 9, 2014, Queens Village Republican Club
The Queens Village Republican Club is pleased to announce that Honorable Peter T. King, Member of Congress, (R-NY2), will be the keynote speaker at our 139th Anniversary Lincoln Day Dinner on February 9, 2014. This spectacular annual event hosted by the oldest Republican Club in America, will take place at Antuns of Queens Village, famous for its world class cuisine and catering, which has celebrated every New York governor, mayor, and nearly every president of the United States.
We will celebrate our hometown hero, Rep. Peter King, who has announced his aspirations for the presidency in 2016. Nassau County Republicans recently gave their public endorsement to Congressman King and stated emphatically that he is poised to win the presidency. Rep. King is a hero to many since he stood up for New York devastated by Superstorm Sandy. He led a successful fight against fierce opposition to obtain $60 billion in emergency funding for victims of the storm. As Chairman of the House Homeland Security Committee, King fearlessly took on the sensitive issue of home-grown Muslim terrorists radicalized in the United States and stood alone in the face of rabid opposition from special interests funded by their malevolent allies abroad. Rep. King has always been the leading defender in Congress of the State of Israel and American interests abroad.
Over the decades the Queens Village Republican Club has earned the reputation as the producer of the most lavish Republican political event of the year: the annual Lincoln Day Dinner. Our Club revived this exciting event around 1994 after a hiatus of several years. Today it is once again the event to be at and be seen at. A sampling of past bold face headliners include: Florida Congressman Lt. Col. Allen West, Mayor Bloomberg, State GOP chief Ed Cox, NYS gubernatorial candidate and author Herb London, anti-Islamist firebrand Pam Geller, Congressman Rick Lazio, Guardian Angels founder Curtis Sliwa, CUNY board member and lightning rod Jeffrey Wiesenfeld just to name a few.
Frank Scaturro is a Republican candidate for the U.S. House of Representatives in New York’s 4th Congressional District (NY-4). Frank believes our nation is at a tipping point, and if we do not turn things around, we could face many more years of decline. That is why he is offering the voters of Nassau County a real choice for principled new leadership that will finally represent the people.
The Queens Village Republican Club has launched a voter registration and membership drive in order to accomplish the Club’s mission as stated on www.facebook.com/qvgop: “To elect Republicans to public office who believe in the founding principles of our Constitutional Republic: individual liberty, small government, free markets and strong national defense.” Here are some important details for registering voters and some talking points to go person to person and win hearts and minds.
