Dear Friend:
We have made great progress with the independent movement and brought real--plus fundamental change to the two-party system. Now is the moment and time to join our continuous effort on making government more accountable -- Coaches! 101 have lobbied the government for Health Care Reform, and Homeless Prevention. Now we are taking on the fight to bring more jobs to NJ, and we need both republican and democrats to join our movement to place pressure on government to create jobs, or fund programs that create jobs in this country. The Next Generation's Leaders Program needs some of your help. We are asking you to be a part of the program and Donate to the cause.
Our program called: The Impact Player Award has helped the lives of teens everywhere.

Talk about hypocritical bigotry ... They "pretend" to care, ONLY when it's convenient for their agenda.
Read this email that was forwarded by the so-called "Christian" conservatives. They do nothing but condemn President Obama's policies and slander him and his administration with misleading pretenses and by adamantly insisting that he's a Socialist. If they truly cared about their "brothers and sisters", they wouldn't object to extending a helping hand to those in need.Read your Bible folks, then live what you learn!
"A holy man was having a conversation with God one day and said, ‘God, I would like to know what Heaven and Hell are like.’ God led the holy man to two doors. He opened one of the doors and the holy man looked in. In the middle of the room was a large round table. In the middle of the table was a large pot of stew, which smelled delicious and made the holy man's mouth water. The people sitting around the table were thin and sickly. They appeared to be famished. They were holding spoons with very long handles, that were strapped to their arms and each found it possible to reach into the pot of stew and take a spoonful. But because the handle was longer than their arms, they could not get the spoons back into their mouths. The holy man shuddered at the sight of their misery and suffering. God said, 'You have seen Hell.' They went to the next room and opened the door. It was exactly the same as the first one. There was the large round table with the large pot of stew, which made the holy man's mouth water. The people were equipped with the same long-handled spoons, but here the people were well nourished and plump, laughing and talking. The holy man said, 'I don't understand.' It is simple,' said God. "It requires but one skill. You see they have learned to feed each other, while the greedy think only of themselves."
The nezt time you decide to forward your deceitful emails, stop and thnk about the message first!
I don't think he would be on the scene if this administration would stop trying to nail the last administation to the cross for war crimes. We are supposed to be going forward (CHANGE), not living in the past.
First of all, the GOP has been very, very negative since day one, way before anything about the war crimes came out. That's just another GOP excuse ... one a day lately. I would have to agree with you, but after the disastrous last 8 years, Cheney should be ashamed of their record and quietly ride off into the sunset. He is a major factor in all the negativity against the new administration, as if his era was such a huge success.
By the way, you're 100% correct. We are supposed to be going forward (CHANGE). That's what the Obama administration is trying to do. That's what the MAJORITY voted for ... OBAMA and CHANGE. Unfortunately, if you look at the GOP voting record, they're doing EVERYTHING in their power to derail any advances toward real change. If the "party of no" continues their spitefulness, we will remain stagnant and we will ALL continue to suffer because of their arrogance and obstinacies.
I'm ashamed to admit I was a lifelong Republican.

Click on that and learn about the Next Generation of Leaders Barack Obama talked about.
Omar Dyer was recently on a radio station promoting a job fair for NP and SBA in New Jersey.
http://www.ustream.tv/recorded/1357295
Omar Dyer is the onlu candidate that has a real chance for an independant to win. The media is not talking about him and will not give this young kid a chance to change politics for the better.
We just signed a pledge of support for President Obama's plan to renew and strengthen America's economy. Please help "our president" to succeed. By helping President Obama succeed, America will succeed!Unless your sentiments are in agreement with such ignorant, malicious people like Rush " I hope he fails" Limbaugh and "the party of no" (the GOP), who are determined to see President Obama fail, thus causing America to fail ... please show your support for America and get involved now.
Watch the video announcing this new initiative and pledge your support now:http://my.barackobama.com/pledgeprojectThank you.Peter and Linda Realmuto "2 Reals 4 Obama" NJmort@aol.com
A Letter from a Concerned CitizenI believe that because we are all Americans before any other political affiliation it is our duty to scrutinize heavily all of our candidates, regardless of party. Senator McCain's surprise pick late in the game leaves us with little time to perform the scrutiny that we as citizens must perform of all our candidates, especially since the media spotlight (which itself we can never count on) will waver back to a focus on Senators Obama and McCain shortly.In this interest I have included the following internet links to broaden our understanding of our fresh, skilled VP candidate and her recent speech. In addition to the following considerations, I believe we all must solemnly investigate whether she has the wisdom and worldliness it takes to conduct foreign relations in today's world:An opinion piece discussing the choice of Governor Palin in relation to the pitfalls of affirmative action:http://www.guardian.co.uk/commentisfree/2008/sep/08/uselections2008.sarahpalin2Karl Rove describing why picking an inexperienced governor for VP could be good politically but not necessarily good for our nation (video):http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V4qEynSx19EA re-reading of Governor Palin's speech focusing on ending partisan rancor, why to care about community organizers, and why we can't forget about criminal rights in a scary world (drawing what should be a clear distinction between Senator McCain and the Governor):http://www.dailykos.com/story/2008/9/4/11525/73205/547/586256This article from a year ago explains that congress removed the earmark (or federally imposed restrictions) on the multi-hundred million dollar check originally meant for the famous "bridge to nowhere." Governor Palin kept said check for Alaska, which was obfuscated in her speech.http://www.cnn.com/2007/US/09/22/alaska.bridge.ap/At the time, Senator McCain himself was outspoken against this flow of funds into Alaska, and said, referring to the Michigan bridge collapse that killed 13:"Maybe if we had done it right, maybe some of that money would have gone to inspect those bridges and other bridges around the country," McCain told a group of people in a town-hall style meeting in Ankeny, Iowa."Maybe the 200,000 people who cross that bridge every day would have been safer than spending $233 million of your tax dollars on a bridge in Alaska to an island with 50 people on it."More than anything, however, we must focus on Sarah Palin's international experience. I have found it difficult to find that she has any! Can we afford to have a candidate with no foreign policy experience possibly leading the free world?Please spread the message to your friends and family. We need to keep America safe and free! Obama-Biden is the only way!
Hi anybody,I'm looking for conservatives and independents that might be interesting in helping spread this (honest) chain e-mail containing internet links and information on Sarah Palin that is simply not reaching many Americans. It's intended audience includes anyone wondering more about her, and even those who have already made up their minds to support her and McCain for choosing her. This includes the staunchest conservatives.I disavow any rights to it (do chain letters have rights?). Please edit as seen fit, and feel free to send critiques to me. And if you can help me get this word out at all, thank you from the bottom of my heart. -Jesse
How Cuba will determine the 2008 Election.
Whether you are pro-Cuba or anti-Cuba, the debate may continue for centuries. One thing is certain. The nearly fifty year old, U.S. Embargo on Cuba has not worked, does not work and will not work. In stating so, we are not acknowledging, supporting or condoning Cuba’s current government.
We are saying it’s time for some of America’s voters, politicians and media to evolve with Cuba, perhaps more than any other issue. It could be said; how politicians act and vote towards the five decade old failed U.S. policies with Cuba is a clear reflection on their character.
We are saying that continuing the anti Cuba embargo policies is a clear reflection of a persons character. Whether running for President of the United States, Senate, Congress or any government leadership position; a person should demonstrated the ability to change course, try new directions and see different points of view. Especially if the policy they supported has failed for fifty years.
The anti-Cuba politicians, lobby and community is a small percentage of all populations, including the Cuban population itself. Yet the anti-Cuba movement has controlled the presidency of the United States and both political houses; including this elections Republican candidate John McCain for nearly fifty years. John McCain is anti-Cuba, while Barack Obama is pro-Cuba.
Why would any politician, business person and human continue enforcing on themselves, and worse others; a failed Cuba policy that the majority of people in America, the world and mostly the island of Cuba itself do not want? See the Election 08 FREE CUBA FILM SERIES and you will find out.
Then it’s up to you to decide when you cast your vote on “Election Moment”, if you are voting for character.
Election moment is the truest moment in any election when you, the voter stand there in the privacy of your own mind right before you vote. Only you will know if you cast a vote for character, and only you can determine the issues that reflect a person’s character. Cuba is one of those clear character issues.
Election 08 FREE CUBA FILM SERIES, is committed to bring the real Cuba to America. We’ve selected three diverse films that provide audiences with a modern day love story set in Havana, Cuba. A film that gives you a glimpse into the future with the childhood version of The Buena Vista Club, and lastly, an impacting documentary that brings to life, the hidden true history of Cuban terrorism, the U.S. Politicians directly related to Fidel Castro who continued to master mind the anti Cuba movement in the U.S. and the political families who continue to enforce their historically failed policies against Cuba on the world through violence, economics and political warfare.
Will you vote for a person who is pro-Cuba and promises to create a powerful future for America uniting the world.
Or will you vote for a person who is anti-Cuba and promises to bend history to make sure America stays the current course isolating the world.
Only you will know on your “Election Moment.”

Hello Everyone!
My name is Kevin Nedd and I serve as the sole Democrat committeeman on the Washington Township Committee here in Long Valley, New Jersey. I was elected as an Independent in 2005 and switched to the Democrat Party in February of 2008.
Serving as a county leader for NJ for Obama's awakened a strong sense of alignment with the core values of the Democratic Party. So it is with honor and pride that I look forward to anchoring my township's Democrat ballot this fall with Barack Obama at the top of the ticket.
In the meantime, anyone wishing to check out my2008 re-election campaign website may do so at www.reelectnedd.com
In addition to posting my thoughts and insights on the 2008 Presidential campaign, I'll provide comments on my own Township Committee race.
Have a happy and safe summer!
Committeeman Kevin M. Nedd
Township of Washington
I believe that Bill Richardson, 2 term governer of New Mexico, would be a great VP choice for Obama. Bill Richardson was the former secretary of energy-giving him presidential experience. He also was the U.S ambassador to the U.N, giving him experience in foreign affairs. To add on to that, he is a 4 time nobel peace prize nominee, which is no doubt a positive. He also was a 7 term congressman. His hispanic background also would make a Obama a stronger candidate in the usually conservative midwest. Based on this experience and Richardson's positive qualities, I believe he would be one of the best VPs.
I feel through all Obama and Clinton have gone through, it would not be right to put her on the same ticket with Obama.
from Member Bob D, Denville
Why is it that now, Hillary has come up with a cure for the ills of the health care system? She had eight years and was given the charter to do it when her husband was president.
Moreover, she has been in the Senate since 2001. Where is the legislative leadership to introduce a bill or bills to solve the problem or, at least, reduce the agony of the uninsured? Early on in her Senate career, she came to an accord with Newt Gingrich but nothing came of that. She and Bill Frist sponsored a bill to modernize medical records, a far cry from resolving the financial medical morass (and, besides the Veterans Administration has done an admirable job in this area).
Yesterday my good friend Mike and I volunteered to canvass door to door for Barack Obama in Pennsylvania. The unique thing about this is that neither of us live in PA... Mike drove 2 hours from his home in Long Island, New York to my home in Highland Park, NJ... from there we drove over an hour to Doylestown, PA to the Obama Bucks County Headquarters. Upon arriving we were both welcomed with a great feeling... the atmosphere was very positive, determined volunteers were bustling about, getting together literature, door hangers, stickers, making signs, answering phones, etc. Mike and I were briefed on canvassing procedure by a gentleman named Jordan and then we were sent off to a staging location about fifteen minutes away in PA. Everyone at the staging location was just as friendly and dedicated as the first location. We were given a canvassing route, directions, literature and then we were on our way to Jamison PA. Mike and I arrived at this area in about 15 minutes, a nice developement with large homes and well groomed lawns... and lots of Republican inhabitants. Our list only consisted of registered democrats but we did get a couple rep and hill supporters along the way. Nearly 4 hours later and 70+ doors knocked we were done with our route, had talked to about 40 people, dispensed plenty of literature and did this all combating very windy conditions, a couple rain drops and lots of circular streets on hills. We brought our tally sheets back to the staging location, grabbed a bite to eat there and conversed a bit with the volunteers about Obama, Tuesday's PA Primary and such.
On our way back home, Mike asked me how I felt... I said GREAT! I really was glad to have been involved with the Obama campaign in PA... it's a pivotal race that I feel really confident in him walking away as victor. Volunteering was a wonderful feeling, we met a lot of friendly people along the way, and... I look forward to volunteering in NJ for the Presidential Election, after Obama seals this primary race up... Yes We Can!!!
