Free Republic

Republican voters in Rockland County ought to know the truth about their GOP County Chairman, Vincent Reda. Reda has repeatedly used his position to intimidate, and harass Republican voters to do what he says, or risk losing their county jobs. (If you ask me) Reda singlehandedly destroyed any possibility of a 2010 Republican win in New York’s Congressional District 17. Republican voters were told to support Reda’s handpicked candidate, York Kleinhandler, over Anthony Melé for Congress. Kleinhandler proved to be a poor (some say stand-in) candidate who lost the Republican primary on September 14 to Anthony Melé. Melé’s ascendancy to...

Great result for tea party favorite, Congressional candidate, Anthony Melé, who won the Republican primary on September 14, but b-i-z-a-r-r-e process that took 14 days to announce the winner. So bizarre that as of Thursday, September 30 at 11:00 PM, fully 16 days after the polls closed, NY1 continues to erroneously show York Kleinhandler, the loser in the race, in the lead by 153 votes! It cost New York State $70 million to install a new system of paper ballots in order to make things easier, not more difficult to count the vote. In fact, counting the 7,000 votes cast...

With two Republican candidates on the ballot and one primary race, results will boil down to Tuesday September 14, where Republicans who reside in Congressional District 17 (parts of Rockland, Westchester and Bronx Counties), will cast a vote for Army Veteran and Security Expert, Anthony Melé or National Guard Reservist and Insurance Broker, York Kleinhandler. If Republicans want a candidate who speaks boldly for them – the People – with the US Constitution in hand and best intentions in mind, the choice is simple, Anthony Melé for Congress. Anthony Melé’s life- long service and dedication to America is nothing short...

“Duty, Honor, Country” is the way Brigadier General Arthur Jackson closes his letter addressed “Dear Fellow Republican” dated July 2010, yet there is not one shred of duty, honor, or country comprised in the letter that falsely smears a fellow decorated U.S. Army Veteran, Republican Anthony “Tony” Melé, candidate for U.S. Congress. What the good general neglected to disclose in his letter distributed to Republicans residing in New York’s District 17, is his avid support for Republican York Kleinhandler for Congress, Tony Melé’s GOP primary opponent. Indeed, Jackson wrote an ill-conceived, without merit, personal attack letter on Anthony Melé, his...

Republicans are up to their old tricks again – non-aggression pacts to be exact. These are deals Republicans make with Democrats to keep incumbents in office. One has to wonder why Democrats make deals at all, they do run New York State government –some say running into the ground – however Democrats make deals because what is at stake this election cycle is redistricting of election seats. 2010 is the U.S. Census year when federal officials attempt to calculate the number of people residing in America. Analysis provided to state governments gives states like New York the ammunition to redistrict...

This year’s election cycle 2010 – voters are paying attention! Like it or not, they are learning quickly that the political process is not pretty. Laden with power structuring, job making, back slapping deals, the electorate is more than disappointed, if they were a pot of hot water they’d be boiling over by now. Electing the most liberal Senator in Congress to the Presidency, together with a Democrat controlled Senate and left-leaning House of Representatives; a strong reaction from the right leaning public was bound to happen. Add in the audacity of a government that feeds a parroting press, and...

If you are looking to throw your support behind a candidate who understands the U.S. Constitution — find Anthony Melé. That is why Melé is running for Congress in New York’s 17th District (representing parts of Rockland, Bronx, and Westchester counties) to return the direction of the state of government to one that mirrors what the Founding Fathers intended. Anthony Melé is one of just a few congressional candidates that refer to the U.S. Constitution to defend his policy positions. (When was the last time you saw a sitting representative do that?) His opinions are on the mark; he supports...
