Queens, NY Focus
QUEENS NEWS:
This is the kind of thing that makes New York look bad: 25 people walked past stabbing victim without calling 911...Those 25 people should be ashamed of themselves.
Bloomberg's rezoning plan: It's all bullshit...but that shouldn't surprise anyone. Bloomberg's plans are usually bullshit
Leonie Haimson: At Charter School Hearings, Ravitch Faces Off Sen. Craig Johnson, Shill of the Charter School Industry
Feds investigating oversight of rail projects
More developer bullshit: Flake's developments shady
NY League of Conservation Voters: Another group bought by Bloomberg...I stopped donating to the LCV after their local branch was bought by Bloomberg. Really showed me that they are not to be trusted.
Privatizing Parks is a Bad Idea
Typical lack of honesty in New York: Development costs hidden from public
NYS Young Democrats President Matt Silverstein declares for AD-26
Budget cuts may close senior centers...hospitals, fire houses, police stations, schools...and now senior centers. Bloomberg, the City Council and Albany will ruin New York
Borough hospitals still overwhelmed...this is the VERY predictable result of closing hospitals because Bloomberg and the City Council would rather give our tax money to developers than to supporting hospitals. Let me be blunt here: between closed firehouses and closed hospitals, New Yorkers are DYING because of Bloomberg and Albany.
62 fire companies may close...As more and more of our tax money go to developers like Bruce Ratner, Bloomberg closes more and more fire houses. THIS IS INSANE!

Democracy for NYC in Queens:
Democracy for New York City (DFNYC) is a volunteer-driven non-profit political action committee. We are part of a national coalition of local groups committed to the ideals espoused by Democracy for America, the organization founded by Howard Dean.
We work both locally and nationally to ensure that fiscally-responsible and socially-progressive candidates win elections at all levels of government. We develop innovative ways to advocate for the issues that matter to our members and promote legislation which has a positive effect in our communities. We engage people in the political process and give them the tools to organize, communicate, mobilize, and enact change on the local, state, and national level.
Currently there are three Brooklyn chapters: Each meets the First Wednesday of every month.
Astoria, Queens - 7:30pm, - Ommonia Cafe 32-20 Broadway, with host Jeremiah Frei-Pearson and Costa Constantinides.

DRINKING LIBERALLY IN QUEENS:
An informal, inclusive progressive social group. Raise your spirits
while you raise your glass, and share ideas while you share a pitcher.
Drinking Liberally gives like-minded, left-leaning individuals a place
to talk politics. You don't need to be a policy expert and this isn't a
book club - just come and learn from peers, trade jokes, vent
frustration and hang out in an environment where it's not taboo to talk
politics.
Queens
* Second and Fourth Friday of each month, 7:30 pm
* Studio Square Beer Garden, 35-33 36th Street, Long Island City, NY ((Look for our signs or ask the helpful staff))
