Please do not appoint Kavanaugh to the Supreme Court.
He is against women’s healthcare, cancer screenings and childcare, Men’s cancer screening.
Children need both their parents to become productive voting citizens. Kavanaugh is in favor of making the President immune to being a lawful citizen above prosecution and able to create crimes in every way.
Also Kavanaugh is Pro Cancer. He favors polluting air, water and soil with toxic chemicals.
He has supported EPA rules reduced.
Our future is in grave danger with Kavanaugh on the Supreme Court.
Oppose Kavanaugh!
Mikie Sherrill for New Jersey’s 11th Congressional District
MONTCLAIR — In front of a huge crowd of supporters, volunteers, and community leaders, Mikie Sherrill kicked off her fall campaign along with Vice President Joe Biden, New Jersey Governor Phil Murphy, New Jersey State Democratic Committee Chairman John Currie, and Montclair State University student and Mikie Sherrill campaign volunteer Naajidah Kahn. Vice President Joe Biden endorsed Mikie Sherrill for New Jersey’s 11th Congressional District in April 2018, and joined her at Montclair State University to engage students and residents of the community.
NJ State Democratic Chairman John Currie addresses the audience
“Each new generation has a choice to make: face the challenges head on with the confidence and the certainty that we can lead this world toward something better and, in doing so, provide a better future for everyone,” said Mikie Sherrill.
She continued: “This country has always been at its best, has always lead in the most effective way, and has always achieved the greatest success, when we operate from a sense of confidence and optimism and leadership that looks toward the future.”
Naajidah Khan, Montclair State University student and Mikie Sherrill intern speaks
A U.S. Navy veteran, former prosecutor, and mother of four, Mikie Sherrill is running for Congress in New Jersey’s 11th Congressional District. Mikie Sherrill is focused on bringing new leadership to Congress, and will work with Republicans and Democrats to restore the full state and local tax deduction for New Jersey taxpayers, work to fix the Affordable Care Act to bring down health care costs, and focus on creating good paying jobs in New Jersey.
New Jersey Governor Phil Murphy
Sherrill said “We are fighting to ensure the economic future of New Jersey – that our federal tax system doesn’t punish our state, that we drive innovation, and create good-paying jobs so all of you can have a bright future right here in New Jersey. That families don’t go bankrupt if a loved one has a pre-existing condition, or needs prescription drugs. That we protect women’s healthcare, and we don’t rollback the protections on marriage equality.”
Vice President Joe Biden
Sherrill is the Democratic candidate for New Jersey’s 11th congressional district, a seat that has been held by Republican Representative Rodney P. Frelinghuysen for over twenty years. A seat thought so solidly Republican that it seemed folly for any sensible Democrat to seek it (or any Republican to challenge Frelinghuysen). There was so little competition for the seat over the years.
“When I first met Mikey over a year ago I met a great candidate, today I saw someone who will be a great Congresswoman,” said Mayor Michael Soriano.
“We are in a battle for the soul of America,” Biden added. “That is not a Democrat or Republican thing.” And then, Biden got blunt, reminding the audience that he graduated college in the same year as the assassination of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and Robert Kennedy, events that seemed to put an end to the Civil Rights Movement that he had been drawn to as a young man. “Don’t tell me you’re demoralized,” Biden scolded the audience. “Get off your rear ends and vote.”
The event attracted a huge crowd of supporters, volunteers, and community leaders

Safe Driving Tips from AAA Every fall, over 55 million children across the United States head back to school. With 13 percent of those children typically walking or biking to their classes, AAA warns drivers to be especially vigilant for pedestrians before and after school hours. The afternoon hours are particularly dangerous – over the last decade, nearly one in four child pedestrian fatalities occurred between 3:00 p.m. and 7:00 p.m.
Launched in 1946, AAA’s School’s Open – Drive Carefully awareness campaign was created as a way to help reduce child pedestrian fatalities and injuries. Here are several recommendations from AAA regarding ways drivers can help to keep kids safe:
Slow down. Speed limits in school zones are reduced for a reason. A pedestrian
struck by a vehicle traveling at 25 mph is nearly two-thirds less likely to be killed compared to a pedestrian struck by a vehicle traveling just 10 mph faster.
Come to a complete stop. Research shows that more than one-third of drivers roll through stop signs in school zones or neighborhoods. Always come to a complete stop, checking carefully for children on sidewalks and in crosswalks before proceeding.
Eliminate distractions. Research shows that taking your eyes off the road for just two seconds doubles your chances of crashing. And children can be quick, crossing the road unexpectedly or emerging suddenly between two parked cars. Reduce risk by not using your cell phone or eating while driving, for example.
Reverse responsibly. Every vehicle has blind spots. Check for children on the sidewalk, in the driveway and around your vehicle before slowly backing up. Teach your children to never play in, under or around vehicles.
Watch for bicycles. Children on bikes are often inexperienced, unsteady and unpredictable. Slow down and allow at least three feet of passing distance between your vehicle and a bicyclist. If your child rides a bicycle to school, require that he or she wear a properly fitted bicycle helmet on every ride. Find videos, expert advice and safety tips at ShareTheRoad.AAA.com.
Talk to your teen. Car crashes are the leading cause of death for teens in the United States, and nearly one in four fatal crashes involving teen drivers occur during the after-school hours of 3:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. Get evidence-based guidance and tips at TeenDriving.AAA.com
MORRIS COUNTY — The Morris County Chamber of Commerce is hosting a “Meet The Candidate” event with US Senate Candidate Bob Hugin.
The event will be held at the Birchwood Manor, 111 North Jefferson Road, Whippany, on Friday, September 7 at 7:30 a.m. for registration and networking. The event starts at 8:00 a.m. to 9:00 a.m. The cost to attend is $60.00 which includes breakfast. Attendees can register by clicking here.
Bob Hugin was raised in a diverse neighborhood in Union City, Hudson County and is a New Jersey success story who came from humble beginnings to live the American Dream. Now he’s running for United States Senate to ensure that opportunity is available for future generations growing up in every single community in our great state.
Born and raised in New Jersey, Bob grew up in a diverse, hardworking neighborhood in Union City, Hudson County, where his parents instilled in him an obligation to serve others. He was the first person in his family to attend college, earning a full scholarship to Princeton University. After graduation, Bob joined the United States Marine Corps where he served as an active duty infantry officer from 1976 to 1983. Bob participated in multiple deployments and was an instructor at the Landing Force Training Command, Atlantic.
Bob continued to serve as a Reserve Officer from 1983 to 1990, where his assignments included commanding officer roles in Virginia and Battalion staff officer assignments in New York. Upon leaving active duty in 1983, Bob earned his MBA from the Darden School of Graduate Business Administration at the University of Virginia and in 1985, he joined J.P. Morgan, ultimately leading several businesses and rising to be a Managing Director.
Bob spent the last 19 years as a leader in healthcare and vocal advocate for modernizing the American healthcare system, serving as Chairman and CEO of the Celgene Corporation and as a Trustee of the Atlantic Health System for the last decade. When Bob joined Celgene in 1999, the company had approximately 200 employees and less than six weeks of cash. Under Bob’s leadership and through the work of its employees, that company was transformed into one of New Jersey’s largest private sector employers – an innovative biotech company that is now known around the world for leading the fight against cancer and chronic disease. Forbes honored Celgene as #5 on a list of “America’s Best Midsize Employers” and #14 on a list of the “World’s Best Employers” in 2017.
