Is the Be Counted NYC campaign legal?

Be Counted NYC, funded by the Related Company, sent text messages, did phone calls and a mailing to convert Republicans and other non-Democrats to Democrat by the February 14 deadline.

The Awful Truth

Rav Arora, an independent young journalist, wrote an article in the Post today. I think some of the numbers he gave, in trying to explain why some black lives didn't seem to matter in 2020, is telling. Less than half a percent of black lives died in conflicts with the police.

Additionally, 90% of black homicide victims are killed by black offenders! A Gallup poll found that 81 percent of black Americ...

Jonathan’s thought on election integrity

Here’s my rough draft of the Fair Elections Act: 1. Voting registration should be handled by state and local governments. Registration information received should be passed on to a national voting registry in Washington, D.C. under the auspices of the Department of Homeland Security. 2. Registration forms should request the full social security number of the registrant.

If the information on the registration form matches the information that the social security office has on file then the registration should be processed. If the name doesn’t match the name that the social security office has for that social security number or the social security number is...

What are your thoughts for Republicans in Queens in 2021? If we want to get noticed perhaps need to get involved in current hot button issues - opening up schools - opening up businesses/indoor dining - forced testing COVID in schools with out parents being present List goes on and on.....
