Un Dia Fabuloso en Queens

El dia Septiembre 8, participe en un evento en casa de un joven miembro de el Partido Independiente. El se llama George (Lyric) Pedraza, y nos abrio su casa para recibir a nuestro candidado Independiente para Alcalde, Adolfo Carrion.

El dia comenzo muy lindo, primero hablo George, dando las gracias por venir al evento.

Despues llego Adolfo Carrion y se sento con todos nosotros para hablar de sus ideas para convertir en esta ciudad, Nuestra Ciudad.

Sus ideas son refrescantes, y nuevas como solamente un candidato Independiente lo podria hacer,

California Independents Set to Influence Tuesday Open Primary

FRED NEWMAN
Fred Newman, Controversial Political Activist And Philosopher, Dies At 76 (Gothamist) According to his website, "Fred Newman is the public philosopher who for 30 years has translated the most progressive ideals of the 1960s into effective instruments of social and personal transformation," but the NY Times' obituary sums it up more elegantly: "Fred Newman’s influential role in New York life and politics defied easy description."

OPEN PRIMARIES

• `Jungle' primary sets up close 36th District race Tuesday (By Eric Bradley, DAILY BREEZE) Democrats hold an 18 percentage-point registration advantage over Republicans in the coastal South Bay district. However, a quarter of voters decline to state a party preference, and low turnout - 16 percent of voters cast a ballot in May - is expected to play a large role in whether Republicans can pull off an upset.
• GOP looks for upset in race for Calif. House seat (By MICHAEL R. BLOOD, AP) One unknown is the role of independent voters, who account for 22 percent of the district's electorate. Statewide, voters who decline to state a party preference typically side slightly more with Democrats than Republicans, but also tend to be unpredictable and more fiscally conservative than typical Democrats.
• 'Madness Abounds' as Fake Candidates Confuse Wisconsin Recalls (San Francisco Chronicle) The primaries are the opening skirmish in a state at political war. The six districts in tomorrow's races have Republicans running as Democrats, hoping to win the nomination and effectively render the Aug. 9 recall votes meaningless.

NEW YORK
Independence Party backs Democrat for Weiner's former seat (AM New York) “We’ve worked with him before and we think he’ll be a wonderful candidate,” party Chairman Frank MacKay said yesterday of Weprin, a Queens assemblyman.

Attention Queens NY Independents!

Hey Queens NYC Hanksteristas. I need a small favor. One of my Queens independent colleagues Bryan Puertas has just started a MeetUp group for independent voters. 


The more members it has, the more likely people are to join. Could you check it out and join if you like it? And tell your friends? Even if you don't live in Queens, it's still ok. This is the only goup of it's kind in NYC on the site.
