2007 Become of Voice in the Republican Party
Many of us living in New York City have thought about becoming active in party politics, but are not sure where to start.
Some of us have tried by contacting the county committee, but end up getting very little information or simply being told we should join our local district club and/or work with our local district leaders. If we ask our district leader about joining the county committee, we don't always get the answers we are looking for.
2007 is the year for registered Republicans to start stepping up to add your voice to county politics. Joining your county committee is not as hard as you think. You can be a county committee representative simply by signing a petition for yourself and submitting it to the Board of Elections.
The website, www.gograssroots.org by Grassroots Initiative explains the bare essentials in how you can become a member of your county committee in 2007, so you can become an important voice in local politics.
The New York Young Republican Club will support all its members who wish to take a more active role in local politics. The more Young Republican members sitting on the county committees, the more influence we'll have in building a stronger Republican Party in New York City.
Through Grassroots Initiative, you can learn the basic steps for becoming a county committee member and representing your Election District. Many of us will have it easy when it comes to petitioning for a vacant county committee seat. Some of us may find that our Election District is already represented and will have to play a more active role in getting on the committee. The important thing is that we fill these vacancies.
The lists of filled committee seats and vacancies for all the five boroughs can be found in the following links: Bronx County, Kings County, New York County, Queens County, Richmond County.
The rules of getting on the ballot for county committee are the same as they would be if you wanted to run for office. You have to petition. Petitioning rules state that you need to get signatures from 5% of the registered Republicans in your Election District to secure a ballot spot for a primary. If your ED has 100 registered Republicans, that means you need five signatures. However, if no one else is running for your Election District, all you really need is one signature and that signature can be your own! If you look at the number of vacancies in Manhattan, you'll see that simply signing your own petition, you be a member of the New York County Committee by January 1, 2008.
If you've seriously thought about becoming an active participant in local politics, then 2007 is the year to make your move.

Friedman's vision could relaunch New York's GOP
The recent passing of the great economist, Milton Friedman, should give New York State Republicans pause and force all of us to reevaluate how the State Party should approach winning over voters in future elections.
Friedman was a movement conservative like Ronald Reagan, which is not to be confused with principled conservatives working in President George W. Bush's administration. The difference is with the role of government. Friedman's view was to protect small busineses from the potential monopolies big business can create in a true Free Market. The high tax climate in New York State has driven many struggling small and medium sized businesses to either leave the state or fold into oblivion. Because our New York Republican Party has not been able to find its identity the last thirty years, party registration has dropped and New York residents are rejecting the GOP as an unfriendly party to the everyday middle class New Yorker.
History.
The collection of political movements in the 1850s brought forth a new political party, the Republican Party, named after and principled after the Jeffersonian Republican Party of 1800. This third party, born in 1854, started in the Midwest in Ripon, Wisconsin and spread to Michigan, which had a statewide convention by the summer of that year. By 1856, the party spread along the northern states and many northeastern Whigs and pro-business Democrats, who opposed slavery, soon joined the Republican Party.
New York, a state with the Erie Canal, the port city in New York harbor and Wall Street, became a strong Republican State with its strong business climate. By the 1880s, The Republican Party in the Northeast legislated with progressive policies that promoted all forms of business, without creating a hostile environment of high taxes and restrictive regulations.
Soon, Democrats like Al Smith and Woodrow Wilson began to enact progressive policies and by losing the mantle of progressive reform, it divided the Republican Party into principled conservatives in the South and Midwest and pro-New Deal Republicans in the Northeast. The Al Smith Democrats felt Franklin Roosevelt's New Deal solutions to the Great Depression were overreaching and would begin to hurt the State of New York, while the New York Republican-wing latched onto the New Deal reforms and moved the party into social reform and change. Leaders such as Nelson Rockefellor, believed the New Deal policies actually benefitted businesses and if New York chose policies by movement conservatives, like Barry Goldwater, we would collapse the economy and return us to a Great Depression.
Unfortunately, under Rockefellor, he became the poster child of social reform and change by using taxes and spending policies that increased the state budget and bankrupt the New York City economy by the 1970s.
Milton Friedman's vision can reinvent New York State's economic environment by using a balance between the progressive policies at the start of the Twentieth Century and the movement conservative approach presented by Goldwater and Ronald Reagan. By limiting the crushing power of existing big businesss, which can strangle small and medium businesses looking to compete, New York can once again be a friendly environment for companies who would bring tax revenue and job growth to the State.
I'm not sure if I've presented an indepth detail on what I believe the New York Republican Party should do in reforming its approach to the voters, because I am still searching for answers to a true party platform for the Twenty First Century. I haven't spent a lot of time reading Milton Friedman, but from what I have read, the man had an approach to economic development that would certainly benefit a state such as New York. The man was a true compassionate conservate, who believed in low taxes driving our economy with competition from small to large business and job creation.

The Complete, Politically Incorrect Story of Thanksgiving
Thanksgiving. The one truly American holiday. Other holidays may have originated in America, but none embodies the spirit of America and its' founding like Thanksgiving. And by that, of course, I mean America's dedication to and reliance on free markets and the work ethic.
When we give thanks on the fourth Thursday every November, we usually are thinking about the scrumptious bounty of food before us and the good fortune of being together with our loved ones. While these are certainly good things to be appreciative of, even more important in terms of this holiday is the new way of life centered around work and business that was developed specifically to create this new world, and would not have existed if not for the desire to build a new society.
You're probably saying "But wasn't America founded for religious freedom?" In short, no. That is one of the many misnomers that we are taught as children about our history that is merely a small piece of the puzzle.
We all know the story of the Pilgrims and how they came to America in 1620, fleeing religious oppression in Europe, landing at Plymouth Rock, and surviving a harsh winter to celebrate the harvest with their new neighbors, the Indians. But this is merely a back story for one of the greatest eras of business and international commerce in world history that began over 100 before the pilgrims, to when the Americas were first discovered by the Europeans.
In the 1400's English merchants were making a fortune in the wool trade, creating many shipping tycoons. But by the early 16th Century, Portuguese merchants started importing silk, cotton and cloth from Asia, taking a huge bite out of wool profits. English merchants scrambled to find a way to make up the revenue lost to competition with the Portuguese.
Looking for business opportunities they turned their attention across the Atlantic to Spanish America, where Spain had been aggressively colonizing both South and Latin America since the time Columbus discovered the New World. In this new world they sensed great opportunities to peddle their goods.
Unfortunately, the official Spanish trade policy, called Mercantilism, was radical protectionism on a scale we could never imagine. It prohibited colonists from buying goods that weren't both made in Spain and transported by Spanish ships. But there were two problems with this policy. Spain lacked an artisan class and it's goods were expensive and of low quality. Also, extremely high taxes and custom dues were imposed by the King of Spain.
This was the edge the English needed to break into the Latin American market. Privateers became extremely wealthy smuggling goods into the Spanish colonies. The English Crown also sold "Letters of Marque and Reprisal" to English Merchants, granting them the authority to legally invest in the business of Piracy against Spanish ships bringing goods to the Spanish colonies.
Of course, the Crown received 10% of all the goods plundered from the Spanish. This became a very successful business venture, with many merchants renting ships and hiring captains to sail the high seas. Contrary to popular lore, Pirates weren't considered outlaws by the Crown unless they neglected to pay their Pirating tax.
The heavy losses to Privateers and Pirates so enraged the Spanish that in 1588 they sent a naval Armada to England. In one of the greatest naval defeats in history, the Spanish lost most of their magnificent fleet. Up to that time, Spain had ruled the seas. From then on, the English Navy controlled the waterways and English merchants felt more secure investing in business in the Americas.
One of the first colonies established by the English was Roanoke, Virginia. Initially, Sir Walter Raleigh, a former Privateer and Pirate, funded a group of 150 men to travel to Roanoke to search for gold and silver. After a year, with no precious metals to be found, they packed up and went home.
Raleigh tried again, but this time instead of men, he sent 60 families hoping to create a colony with more stability. Four years after the settlers arrived in Roanoke, Raleigh died in England. Strangely, Raleigh failed to maintain contact with his settlers, so new investors in his company decided to send a ship to Roanoke to check on the colony. When the ship arrived, there were no settlers to be found. In one of history's greatest unsolved mysteries, they had disappeared without a trace.
The English subsequently concluded that colonization would require a different type of investment and management, with control diversified among a body of responsible partners. A group of English businessmen united to create a new entity, called the Joint Stock Company. This new creation was to be run by a Board of Directors, with each Board member responsible for selling stock in the company to investors. If the company were profitable, investors would earn dividends.
This was the birth of the modern Corporation, which exists in almost the same form today. Furthermore, to prevent securities fraud, Stock Markets were created in Amsterdam in 1600 and England in 1608. These markets were modeled on the Bourse, a type of commodities market that became popular in the middle ages. This new and exciting way to pool capital brought a flood of investors for companies to settle North America. Colonization was about to become big business.
New corporations run by adventurous English investors established many colonies in North America. These colonies were completely owned and operated by their founding English corporation, and the settlers were company employees. Settlers didn't just move to these new colonies, but were hired by them.
Many years later and after many significant changes, each of those colonies would join together to become part of another great experiment started by adventurous English colonists, which would eventually be called The United States of America. But that's jumping ahead in this story.
Around this time in Europe, the Catholic Church was having it's own problems with the Reform Movement launched by Martin Luther. In Switzerland, John Calvin started a Protestant sect based on a strict moral code. He preached that sexual immorality was the worst of all sins. He also advocated a strong "work ethic", taught that materialism and making money were not sinful, and that hard work would keep one pure and away from sin.
These radical notions were contrary to the teachings of the Catholic and Lutheran churches. Their clergy felt that to make a profit by selling goods was dishonest, and lending money for profit was usury. Calvin's belief in the "work ethic" attracted many converts, and Calvinism became so successful that missionaries were sent throughout Europe to convert the middle class.
The Puritans were an offshoot of the Calvinists, and they were very successful in England, becoming shopkeepers, merchants, bankers and landowners, and eventually they came to dominate many local governments. They opposed the Anglican Church, which was based on Catholic liturgy and rituals, launching a vigorous battle over morals in England. The Puritans were strongly opposed to drinking, gambling, dancing and wenching (social relations between unmarried men and women), and used their power to outlaw these popular activities.
This put the Puritans at odds with Calvinists, who believed in a strong separation of church and state. The Puritans would have none of that, and were determined to drive all evil influences out of England. The backlash from the nobles in the Anglican clergy was strong, and many laws were passed that restrained the Puritans from practicing their religion. These laws caused many Puritans to flee the country. Some went to the continent, but many went to Puritan dominated colonies in America.
One group of lower middle class Puritans, known as Pilgrims, moved to Holland and found an environment friendlier to their way of life. However, the culture in Holland was alien to the Pilgrims and they felt very uneasy living amongst such a strange people. After a few years in Holland, they rented a ship called the Mayflower and made arrangements to join their brothers in the New World.
In the fall of 1620 they set out for Jamestown, which was a colony established by the Virginia Company, now a successful Joint Stock Company. Unfortunately, fall was a poor time to cross the Atlantic, with very rough seas accompanying the onset of winter. The Pilgrims were blown way off course and landed at Plymouth Rock in Massachusetts. They quickly set up a colony in Plymouth, but without adequate food to survive the harsh winter in Cape Cod.
Realizing their desperate situation they set out to insure the survival of the colony by composing the Mayflower Compact. This was their constitution, and in it they gave birth to the concept of "one man, one vote". They also developed good relations with their new neighbors the Wampanoag Indians, who were very helpful to the Pilgrims that first winter, aiding them in their quest for food.
To survive, the Pilgrims became fishermen and fur traders, and when spring came they planted their first crops. They made one mistake however. Their farmland was community property and they expected each settler to do an equal share of the work. This didn't work very well, and many of the settlers slacked off with only a few doing the work.
This caused a great deal of fighting and a poor harvest. The settlers needed to rethink their communal arrangement. For their next harvest they gave individual plots of land to each settler and now everyone was responsible for their own survival. It was very obvious when someone wasn't doing their share and they suffered for their lack of initiative by their own hand.
That year the harvest was bountiful, with more food than they could eat. The Pilgrims reaped what they had sown and together with their friends and saviors the Wampanoag Indians, they had a massive celebration. This three-day festival was the very first Thanksgiving. But the full story of Thanksgiving is far from over.
The Pilgrims never planned to be on their own, and they didn't have a legal charter for their colony. Eventually, the Massachusetts Bay Colony, another Joint Stock Company owned by the Massachusetts Bay Company, absorbed Plymouth colony. In 1630 the company established the port city of Boston, and for sometime thereafter 5,000 Puritans were relocated from Europe to Massachusetts each year.
The Massachusetts Bay Company organized more towns throughout the colony. They instituted regular town meetings in each so company officials could address the settlers about the latest company rules and regulations. A strict Puritan code was enforced, and the company hired all magistrates, judges, police and other local officials. They also implemented a police informer network to make sure the settlers adhered to their values.
Many settlers objected to the oppressive atmosphere created by the company, but instead of being given a chance to generate support for their ideas, dissenters were quickly fired and expelled from the colony. Some outcasts went on to start their own colonies far beyond the reach of the company.
Roger Williams, who opposed mandatory church attendance, created Rhode Island and introduced the Baptist faith to the Americas. Anne Hutchinson, who demanded a role for women in the church, eventually settled in Suffolk County. And Rev. Thomas Hooker, who objected to the strict dress code and the police informer network, became the founder of the State of Connecticut.
The oppressive nature of the company and its abuse of authority eventually led to its demise. In the 1680's, a slave girl, who had organized a witches coven, accused many innocent people of witchcraft. This set off a frenzy of accusations across Massachusetts and by the summer of 1690 150 people had been arrested and 20 executed. The episode finally ended when the wife of the Governor was accused of witchcraft. The Governor promptly put an end to the trials.
But the damage was already done. By 1691 the Massachusetts Bay Company was liquidated and Massachusetts became a democratic colony. The town hall meeting became the cornerstone of the new democracy, and the Pilgrims principle of "one man, one vote" became law. The Pilgrims tradition of celebrating Thanksgiving also survived, and has been observed ever since.
That tradition was later to become an official holiday. In 1863, while the country was being rocked by civil war, Abraham Lincoln established the holiday of Thanksgiving on the fourth Thursday of November. In 1939, Franklin Roosevelt temporarily moved Thanksgiving back to the third Thursday of November to stimulate Depression-era Christmas sales.
The decisions to explore and settle the Americas were purely business driven. And the freedom to do so was achieved with military superiority. The Pilgrims - possibly the original Republicans - were very pro-business, but sought to maintain a strict social code. This policy served them well for a while, but just like today, they eventually loosened their code in the face of "competition" from neighboring colonies.
Periods of severe oppression have historically been followed by periods of great social or scientific growth, like the Renaissance. While tyrannical leaders can oppress a culture, the human spirit can't be stifled and will always gravitate toward circumstances that foster freedom and liberty. But the significance of this story is that, for the first time in human history, a society was built on the foundation of freedom, with unrestrained capitalism as its bedrock.
Some will always attempt to roll back our freedom, seeking those "simpler" times, when tyrants could easily rule the world. But the success of those weary travelers almost 400 years ago changed everything. They paved the way for the society we have today, and most certainly they would be proud.
Any society that seeks to protect freedom and liberty must be built on a pro-capitalist pro-corporate foundation. This is merely the people exercising their freedom of association through business, the backbone of America. So when, over dinner on Thursday, your relatives try to tear down our corporate culture as being anti-American, you can confidently tell them that they obviously are not familiar with American history or who founded this country.
These days, many people defame corporations without realizing that they are even more American than apple pie. While some companies have their flaws, just as people do, we can't ignore the reality that without the creation and proliferation of the corporation, this country wouldn't be what it is, and might never have existed at all.
Happy Thanksgiving!

Post-Election Thoughts
The results of th 2006 elections sends a message to the Republican Party both on a National level and on a New York State level.
On the National level, American expressed disappointment towards the President's handling of the Iraq War. The Republican Party had expected to lose some races in Congress, but not as many as we did. Some political journalists, such as Joel Mowbray suggest losing the 2006 Elections isn't necessarily be a bad thing for the Republican Party, as long as we regroup and reform a strong message by 2008. What that message is has yet to be presented, but it should be something similar to the "Contract with America" presented by Rep. Newt Gingrich in 1994.
On the State level, the Republican Party was doomed to start, because the current state party leader (Gov. George Pataki) squandered any hope of grooming strong party leaders for this election cycle.
2007 will be an interesting year for the New York State GOP. As I continue to become more and more involved in the party, I see how the powerbrokers tug and pull the party every-which way, but the one way they aren't pulling is the path towards victory. Will we begin to see a buzz begin in areas across the state? Will the party select its targets of challenging weak incumbents so we can begin seeing a rebirth of the party?
I would hope that many of the candidates we had run this year will start planning a run in 2008. After the holidays, candidates like Joseph Savino and Robert Heim should begin their run for 2008. Republicans won't win if their candidacies start in May 2008. We'll see what happens.
When January 1, 2007 comes, the two most powerful Republicans of New York will be Majority Leader, Sen. Joseph Bruno and New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg. Not the greatest picture for a party looking to return to significance.

Personal Thank You from Yvette V. Bennett
Dear Fellow Elephants and Supporters,
Over the last few months many people across this district, borough and city banded together to support my campaign. I know how much you’ve dedicated and sacrificed for the principles we value so dearly. Although we are disappointed with the results (after all, it is no fun to lose), we must remember what is important. We have laid a foundation for the future of this district. For this, I thank you.
Was it worth it? Absolutely! By remaining true to our convictions in this difficult environment, people all over the district learned that there are values worth fighting for, that school choice is possible, that our children and community can be protected from sexual predators, that lowering taxes will help our economy and that the Republican Party is coming back in this district. But the real battle for the future is just beginning. We need to regroup and redouble our efforts to engage and reach the hearts and minds of our neighbors and bring new people on board. Our commitment is about more than politics, it is about principals and our future.
Below, is a list of my campaign all-stars. I honor these people for their sacrifices and dedication to my campaign. I thank them for having faith in me and in this cause.
- My family. No greater sacrifice was made than by my husband, John and my daughters Christina and Rebecca. My mother-in-law, Kathleen, threaded nearly 7,000 rubber bands on my door-hangers. My dad, Efrain Velázquez, who tirelessly climbed stoops and distributed hundreds of door hangers.
- The Honorable Gerrard Kassar, Chairman of the Kings County Conservative Party and his team, without whom there would have been no campaign.
- The Honorable Senator Martin Golden, whose achievements in Brooklyn and Albany have been inspirational.
- My treasurer, Joseph F. Coleman, who takes care of my books and occasionally advises. A man I trust dearly.
- My webmaster, Jonathan J. Judge, whose help has been invaluable.
- My statistical advisor, Luke Vander Linden, without whom the campaign would have lacked direction.
- The editors of Urban Elephants, especially Daniel Peterson, who gave me a platform and opportunity that I would otherwise not have had.
- Oshri of Shalmoni Auto who was the first and most enthusiastic business owner to support my campaign. (He’s a great mechanic, too!)
- The grassroots volunteers, Rev. Alexander Rivera of Park Slope Christian Center, Pastor Stephen Christopher of Memorial Baptist Church, Pastor Jason Walker of Bay Ridge Baptist Church, Pastor Morgan of International Baptist Church and the many members that helped me out, James Hudson, Luis but especially Russell Pinto who worked tirelessly despite physical hardship.
- I also received the support of the New York State Young Republicans, New York State Right to Life Committee, Brooklyn Young Republicans.
- There are so many more that came together for this effort, please forgive me if I’ve neglected to mention you. Let me know if I’ve forgotten anyone.
Please accept my thanks.
