Leadership

Vice President, Membership: Carl Bowen Carlb1223@mac.com

Carl is a CPA with a BA in Business Administration from Adelphi University in Garden City. He has over 20 years experience in real estate and alternative investments. As such, he has had a front row seat for the current economic debacle we are all living through. Carl believes that the Constitution is not a "living document" but should be accepted as written. He stands steadfast against undeclared wars, the extension of the American empire and the Constitutional violations perpetrated by the "Patriot Act". A fervent student of the Austrian school of economics, Carl understands that it is government interference in the free market that fueled the real estate bubble and the resulting bust, and that only a return to sound money will bring the sustainable economic growth, peace and prosperity that is every American's birthright. He currently serves as the Nassau County Coordinator for the Campaign for Liberty. Carl is the loving father to a wonderful stepdaughter and two awesome sons and can only hope to be a fraction of the husband his devoted wife Karen deserves. And he’s a helluva shot.

For his efforts he was awarded an Ambassadorship, one of a handful of Jaycees to have that title. Lately he was integral to resurrecting the Republican club of his hometown, Manhasset.
