Conservative Society for Action sponsors rally in support of controversial Arizona law.
The Conservative Society for Action, a Long Island Tea Party affiliate, held a "Stand With Arizona" rally at the Huntington intersection of Jericho Turnpike and Stowe Avenue on Sunday afternoon. Close to 50 people took part in the protest, one of several held throughout Long Island this weekend, which had a theme of Tea Party support for the controversial immigration policies of Arizona. "The United States should enforce its immigration laws." said David Russo, a Manhattan resident and a member of the New York City-based organization, New Yorkers for Immigration Control and Enforcement (NY ICE).

Conservative Society for Action holds rally to oust Rep. Steve Israel.
American flags and homemade signs permeated the side-lawn of the busy Huntington intersection at Jericho Turnpike and Stowe Avenue on Sunday afternoon as the Conservative Society for Action (CSA), which has become the preeminent Tea Party movement of Suffolk County, was holding a "call for action meet up," hoping to draw attention to its cause.

From teenagers to senior citizens and from first-time protesters to seasoned politicians, these activists appeared to share one common sentiment: a general suspicion that their elected officials are disconnected from reality. The protester's homespun signs carried messages such as "Dump Israel…

The Huntington Town Board appointed Besen, who lost his bid for re-election, as a part-time special attorney in the Town Attorney John Leo's office.
Former Town Councilman Stuart Besen is back on the Huntington payroll. When the Democrat lost his re-election bid in November, Besen also lost his more than $60,000 annual council salary.
But the town board voted at its Jan. 12 meeting to bring him back as a part-time special town attorney with a $50,000 per year salary. Several attendees of the Feb. 9 Town Board meeting categorize this as "government waste" and were not timid about expressing their views. "It appears that the hiring of Stuart Besen has not been cleared by the town's own ethics office," said town resident Peter Nichols, who unsuccessfully opposed five-term incumbent Supervisor Frank Petrone in the same election that newest Councilman Mark Mayoka defeated Besen. Nichols …

Miguelina, Because of illegal immigration wages were reduced and Americans would not work those jobs because of the reduction of wages. I use to cut lawns, but again, because of illegals coming into this country I could not get a decent wage to support a family. Illegals have ruined the lives of many Americans and their families, with the collapse of our economy and the housing bubble we can … more ›
