NOVEMBER LIST OF EVENTS


Nothing is going on in November. And I'm only half saying that because it's Nov.3rd, I'm just getting the calendar up and some of the best events of the month were on Nov.1 and 2. Get your events in at nycevents at gmail.com. This list is looking mighty sparse.

November 7, 2005, 7:00pm: Federalist Society Immigration Debate. Does Our Immigration Policy Hurt the War on Terror?

November 9, 2005, 7:00pm: US Senate Candidate John Spencer will speak at the November meeting of the Brooklyn Young Republican Club. He is an ex-mayor of the overwhelmingly Democrat city of Yonkers. As Mayor, he took a stagnant city in decline and changed its image to a city of progress. He revitalized the waterfront, cut taxes and improved services - all while standing up for conservative principles including his pro-life, pro-marriage, pro-growth, pro-2nd Amendment, and anti-illegal immigration positions.

November 10, 2005, 7:30pm: Meeting of the NY Young Republican Club (the independent one). Special Speaker in honor of Veterans Day, we will be joined by Dr. Joseph Skelly, who recently returned from serving a year in Iraq. As Sergeant Skelly in the 411th Civil Affairs Reserve Battalion in support of the First Infantry Division in Baquba, Skelly was awarded the Bronze Star this past summer. His account of the Iraqi elections can be seen at http://411ca.org/skelly_nro_1.htm.
In his civilian life, Dr. Skelly is an assistant Professor of History at the College of Mount Saint Vincent, a true American Patriot and a hero. Our featured speaker will be Alan Skorski, author of the new book "...Pants on Fire: How Al Franken Lies, Smears and Deceives" Alan Skorski has researched the facts regarding the allegations in Franken's last two books, monitored his daily radio show, spoken with people cited and referenced in Franken's books, and exchanged approximately 30 e-mails with Franken in order to provide readers with an accurate insight into how Franken thinks and operates. What Skorski finds is something very different from what Franken claims, and he concludes that, unlike many of the petty "lies" Franken writes about in his books, ...Pants on Fire reveals that Franken himself regularly lies, smears, and distorts what others say and do, ultimately discrediting himself as a "truth teller." You can purchase a copy of the book in advance at Amazon.com, although we will be selling copies for the signing. Place: Soldiers, Sailors, Marines and Airmens Club, 283 Lexington Ave (bet 36th & 37th St), 2nd Floor. Admission: Members - FREE, Non Members - $5, F/T Students - $2.
