YR Club Notes

Brooklyn YRs

The Brooklyn YRs, as did many YRs throughout the state, got press during the pre-Super Tuesday media blitz. Secretary Jonathan Judge (above) was interviewed by CNN and News 12 Brooklyn about the Giuliani campaign and what young voters are looking for in candidates when it comes to the economy and the War on Terror. Though the Brooklyn YRs were saddened by Giuliani’s departure from the race, they are ready to pound the pavement to help make John McCain, the likely party nominee at the convention, the next President of the United States.

Usually meet the second Wednesday or second Thursday of the month at 7:30 PM. For the latest meeting and events information, visit the Brooklyn YR’s website.

Nassau County YRs

Nassau YR President Andrew Stream spoke out again Governor Spitzer’s “Crack Tax” in a press release to local papers in late January. He particularly condemned the plan because he sees it as one step toward legalization and a way for the state to profit from harmful drug use.

New York YRs

New York State Senator Marty Golden and conservative author and legal analyst Mark Smith both spoke at the February Monthly Meeting of the NYYRC. Senator Golden spoke about Will Barclay’s special election campaign and urged everyone to volunteer upstate if possible, and he addressed several issues, including the Governor’s proposed “Crack Tax”. Author Mark Smith gave a rousing chat about simple arguments that can be used to counter (politely of course) any senseless liberal statements that you come across.
Usually meet every third Thursday at 7 PM, Union League Club, 38 East 37th Street, New York, NY. Usually host socials the first Wednesday of the month. For the latest meeting and events information, please visit the New York YR’s website.

Staten Island YRs

The SIYRs just had their elections and all the current officers were re-elected to another term. Congrats!

They also got quite a bit of pre-Super Tuesday press as well. President Anthony Reinhart (left) was interviewed by London’s SkyNews about the race and he comments about the potential power of Obamamania in this upcoming election. During the Florida primary, the New York Times covered their primary watching party, quoting SIYR VP Rich Hoffman, Assemblyman Lou Tobacco Chief-of-Staff Michael Coppotelli, and members Mike Law and Ryan Osborn.

Usually meet the third Tuesday of every month at Canlon's Restaurant, 1825 N Railroad Avenue, Staten Island, NY. For the latest meeting and events information, visit the Staten Island YR’s website.
