Why are Brookhaven Town Republicans attending a Secret Southold Republican Committee?
Here is an update to the February 23rd, 2021 meeting
Here is an update to the February 23rd, 2021 meeting
The Southold Town Republican Committee held the Nominating Convention last Tuesday, February 23rd. This was a secret, closed meeting for Republican Committee members and Alternates only. But, we learned of it and requested entry. Our request was denied.
That's right! Seven registered Southold Republicans were barred entry.
Why would they have a secret, closed meeting? The doorman explained "This is not a closed meeting, but you need to be invited." Isn't that the very definition of a closed meeting?
We were also informed "the rules make it a closed meeting."
Rules? We requested to see the quoted rules but were met with gibberish and no rules were provided.
Maybe the reason for the secret meeting and secret rules is to prevent us from learning what is actually happening to our Republican Party in Southold!
We did learn that while we, Southold Republicans, were barred entry to a secret meeting due to secret rules, at least three non-Southold Republicans were admitted and were active participants! Two are Republican party operators from Brookhaven, both attorneys, and the third person is a member of the media.
One of the non-Southold Republicans was at the entrance alongside the doorman when we were refused entry. Even more interesting is that this non-Southold Republican is our assistant town attorney! Why is he participating in a secret meeting of Southold Republicans?
Our Southold GOP has not held a general meeting of Republican voters in recent memory. The Committee meets in secret. The list of Committee Members is secret. The rules of the Committee are secret. Talk about a lack of transparency!
If you are happy with the way things are going, that's OK.
if you aren't, DEMAND ANSWERS!

The picture to the left is a "NOTICE OF NOMINATING CONVENTION OF THE SOUTHOLD TOWN REPUBLICAN COMMITTEE," scheduled for 6:00 p.m. on Tuesday, February 23, 2021 at the Southold American Legion. This notice only went to to a select few and advised: "This Convention is for Committee members and Alternates only." You, me and thousands of non-committee Southold Republicans are excluded from yet another important event!
This is the latest slap in the face for Republicans in our town. WE as Republicans need to change what has been going on for years. No more secret meetings! No more lack of communication! No more mismanagement! No more benign neglect of our party! No more abandonment of our electorate! No more self dealing at the expense of our party! Enough of this lack of transparency and elitism! I am going, uninvited, to this meeting! Ask yourself the following, and if you feel as I do, join me on February 23rd:

In the last election, President Trump won Suffolk Couny. But, he LOST Southold!
In the last two elections, 2018 and 2020, Congressman Lee Zeldin won the 1st C.D. But, he LOST Southold!
In the last election, State Senator Anthony Palumbo won the 1st S.D. But he won Southold, his hometown, by a mere 42 votes!
During this election cycle, there have been secret screenings of some candidates. Not all candidates were invited. Some didn't know there were screenings!
Now is the time to speak out! Please join me in the rear parking lot of the Southold American Legion at 5:45pm on Tuesday, February 23, 2021. Let's peacefully attend this meeting to show our concern about the future of the Southold Town Republican Party.
