Club Notes

Brooklyn YRs

The Brooklyn YRs are making great use of this year’s election hype to show off more of our local candidates and discuss hot-topic issues. In May, the Brooklyn YRs heard from the Bay Ridge Rod & Gun Club’s Andrew Windsor and Michael Colihan, experts on Second Amendment legal and legislative issues. John Chromczak, candidate for the 25th State Senate district also spoke, discussing, among other matters, how the Republican Party is the only party who will stand up for the individual’s right to bear arms.

In June, the YRs heard from Alex Carabelli, Deputy Director of the Grassroots Initiative (http://www.gograssroots.org) about how everyday citizens can run for office and get on the ballot in New York City, especially if they have limited resources and a shoestring budget. Finally, the YRs had a discussion about various activities they can organize to support John McCain among younger voters, such as voter registration drives, rallies, and phone banking.

Usually meet the second Wednesday of the month. For the latest meeting and events information, visit the Brooklyn YR’s website.
