This is a critical time for our state and nation. We want to hear from you as we look forward to rebuilding our party. Please submit your information and suggestions as we will post the best ideas on our homepage.
Republicans across New York State must work to reclaim and reassert the issues that are the basic tenets of our Party – fiscal responsibility, individual initiative and equal rights, justice and opportunity for all. We will be successful by rebuilding our grassroots to enroll new members in our Party, communicating our message, recruiting and supporting qualified candidates for office and encouraging participation on behalf of our great Party. Every Republican must take part in this vital task. I encourage every registered member of our Party to contact your local county or town committee to find what you can do to help with their efforts to strengthen and revitalize our Party. Joseph N.
