Plainfield Democrats Hit Home-Run!!

I want to thank everyone who took part in the Corzine Rally wherein President Obama endorsed Governor Corzine in his campaign for re-election. I think a lot of what was said yesterday will begin to move this campaign in the right direction in terms of solutions to key issues within the State.

Republicans would like you to think that some of the problems that Gov. Corzine and the leaders in State government, which I am a part of, is the problem. The President made it very clear that that is not the case. States like New Jersey are suffering due to the failed leadership of the Bush administration, and not Jon Corzine.

A prime example: the Governor, Assemblywoman Linda Stender, and I were blamed for the closure of Muhlenberg Hospital. The President made it very clear yesterday that issues like healthcare for individuals, hospitals, doctors and nurses, have been overlooked for the past eight years by the Bush administration. So if hospitals around the country are closing and not being treated fair, then it is obvious that hospitals like Muhlenberg also felt the pain.

Currently, the President made it clear yesterday that he is asking members of the United States Senate and Congress, for the first time in 50 years, to change their way of thinking in terms of how we deliver health services for ALL in the State of New Jersey.

So when my opponents, and others who want to blame me and/or Jon Corzine for the closure of Muhlenberg, if anyone listened to the President on yesterday, that statement is not true! He made it very clear that this problem started in Washington eight years ago, and there are still members of the Republican party in Washington still fighting against what is right for everyone to receive the most affordable medical care.

I want to take this opportunity to thank ALL of the people who was involved in going to the Corzine Rally, because everyone in the Democratic Party throughout the State realized how committed we are not only to our President, but also to our Governor, Jon Corzine. Out of the eight buses that left Union County, we had six filled. That meant there were over 300 people on the buses combined. I also had over 100 lawn tickets that I shared with individuals who were able to use other means of travel to the event. So we had approximately 450 people who had been involved with the grass-roots organization constructed last year during the course of the Obama Campaign, and these individuals as one can see, are still very active. This grass-rooted movement we started in the 22nd District is in fact, alive and well.

So again, I want to thank everyone for your support. Now it is time to roll up our sleeves to make phone calls, knock on doors, and ensure that we get ALL Democratic candidates in the November elected, elected. Like the President said on yesterday, he loves New Jersey, he plans to return to New Jersey, and he is looking forward to working with the Democrats in New Jersey to move the Democratic Party, as well as the country, in the right direction. This puts the people first.

Ps

Everything I have been standing for regarding healthcare was backed up by our President when he said in his own words, that the positions I am taking are correct. Now who is lying, our President, or my opponents?
