On Thursday evening October 18th The Samuel J. Tilden Democratic Club made its annual donation presentation to five organizations in our community. Street Fair money that the Club earns every year goes directly back to the community in the form of donations to worthwhile programs and organizations. This year’s recipients included: Brotherhood Synagogue Shelter Program, Churchill School, Creative Center for People with Cancer, Manhattan Comprehensive Day & Night School, and Stein Senior Center. In addition, donations have also been made to Bellevue Hospital Pediatric Resource Center, 13th Precinct’s Night Out Against Crime, and The Stuyvesant Town/Peter Cooper Village Tenant’s Association.
Tilden Endorses Clinton for President ’08
The members of The Samuel J. Tilden Democratic Club would like to announce their endorsement of New York State Senator Hillary Clinton for President in 2008. The Club met on October 18th for a General Meeting and overwhelmingly voted to endorse Senator Clinton. District Leader Louise Dankberg said, “Sen.Hillary Clinton deserves our endorsement as I feel she is the only candidate who can win the General Election in November 2008. She is highly intelligent, has a great campaign and has Bill Clinton. We must not be shortsighted and look for a better candidate who might be more appealing. Our aim is to take back the White House and try to fix some of the disasters of the last 7 years. All the Democratic candidates would make great Presidents,
but only Hillary can actually attain that status at this time.”

DEMOCRATIC VICTORY ’06!
On Tuesday November 7th Democratic Candidates nationwide were voted into office and took control of both the House and Senate as well as several state Governorships. The country quickly made a transformation. Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld resigned Wednesday November 8th. And, President Bush says he is now open to hearing ‘any ideas or suggestions’ concerning the Iraq War. The Democrats look strong and have a great opportunity now.
Congratulations to our New York State Officials Governor-elect Eliot Spiter, Lt. Governor-elect David Paterson, Attorney General-elect Andrew Cuomo, and Comptroller-elect Alan Hevesi.
Locally on the East Side of Manhattan, Brian Kavanagh won his Assembly seat in a landslide. Congresswoman Carolyn Maloney, State Senators Krueger & Duane, and Assemblyman Bing won re-election.
