LOL...sounds like New Jersey. Luckily we have conservatives that aren't afraid to go against party line. John Ginty will be challenging party favorite Tom Kean Jr. for the Senate race. Vince Micco is another name that is willing to go against the RINO Republicans.

I don't think he has to worry. I think we, as citizens are free to use that material as we see fit...we paid for it, after all! I could be wrong though. "Any Lawyers in the House?" (Said in best Eddie Murphy voice)

As much as I dislike boomers sticking us with their bills, I don't care if more Gen Xers or Boomers or Gen Yers are elected--as long as they are conservative, pro-Constitution, Gen Xers or Boomers or Gen Yers. If you're a liberal, I don't care if you were born on my f'in birthday and in my hometown and in the exact same situation as me. You ain't getting my support.

Heavy Hispanic presence in south Bergen County and north Hudson. The Arabs Muslims are largely to be found in Pascrell's district, as they are mostly in Clifton and Patterson.
The district has a large Jewish (Orthodox and Reform) presence, as well as sizeable black populations in Teaneck, Englewood and Hackensack. In other words, the district is intentionally split, so that the bulk of Bergen's white population is in Garrett's district, while the immigrant and "people of color" areas are in Rothman's.
My advice to Vince is to reach out to the Koreans in Fort Lee, Englewood, and Palisades Park. They have supported GOP candidates locally in the past, and have been all but ignored by Rothman. Ethnic politics being a reality in this districts and all.

http://www.billspadea.com/micco-letter.php I disagree with your March 2, 2006 editorial, entitled Exit strategy. A cut and run strategy in Iraq is wrong. What we need is unity and resolve when our nation is at war. Remember the smiling, photo-op seeking politicians standing side by side in front of the U.S. Capital, singing patriotic songs for the cameras after September 11, 2001? That national unity was invaluable during Operation Enduring Freedom in Afghanistan. It is sorely missed and our country is paying a heavy price for its absence in Operation Iraqi Freedom. I spent yearlong military deployment in Iraq as a sergeant in the U.S. Army. My job was counterintelligence. The Iraqis risked their lives week after week to pass actionable intelligence to people like me. Their children look up to American servicemen like were celebrities. Theyre grateful that we liberated them from Saddam Hussein. Now they need us to help them pick up the pieces and move forward like the United States did for Germany and Japan after World War II. The vast majority of Iraqis are benevolent people who appreciate us Americans but are getting frustrated with the trouble-makers who are funded and agitated by Iran and Syria. To abandon Iraq would be an insult to the service of the thousands of American I served with in Iraq and would paint a shameful picture of American resolve. One need only remember the attacks on the Khobar Towers, which begot the attack on the USS Cole, which begot the attacks on September 11, 2001 to realize that American resolve is something our adversaries make calculations about when they consider attacking us. Our military is equipped to destroy any enemy on the earth, but its no match for faint-hearted politicians pushing timetables. If we cant rely on our elected leaders for unity and resolve when the going gets tough, then I feel a moral imperative to my fellow servicemen, my President and to the American people to carefully consider seeking a seat in the U.S. House of Representatives.
