Here is a view of our Nation’s Birthday celebration at the Milltown July 3 Parade:

Team Sipprelle was in the parade along with “The Carmine Genovese and Richard Pender North Brunswick Campaign Truck” (behind Mary and Joe Chyb).  The County Candidates’ car and the Milltown Candidates’ car were next to ours, along with 40 marchers together from all our groups. We made a great impact. Everyone loved Scott; Richard and Carmine gained fans, kisses and waves as well !!  County Clerk candidate Harold Kane, County Sheriff candidate Keith Hackett and County Freeholder Candidates David Rosenthal, Dick Frank and Jordan Rickards also gained friends and supporters among the hundreds of parade watchers.

Help elect Scott Sipprelle November 2, as our Member of Congress where he will speak for us!  Rush Holt has not represented us.  Rush Holt has voted with Nancy Pelosi to give money to ACORN and spread your wealth around.

The North Brunswick Transit Village was originally conceived as a combination of shops, restaurants, housing, and most importantly, a train station.  The Transit Village has now been re-named “MainStreetNB” by the principals, Garden Homes Development and North Brunswick TOD Associates.  This name change signals “no train expected”.  Approvals for a train station in New Jersey are rare, and are given after years, if ever.  Plans for “MainStreetNB” include big box stores in the first phase of development.  New Jersey Transit Village guidelines specifically exclude big box stores.  In a Transit Village, the primary means of transportation are meant to be walking, bicycling and train ridership; car traffic should be minimal.  But big box store shoppers will need to drive their cars to pick up large items such as refrigerators.  The big box stores would disqualify “MainStreetNB” for a New Jersey Transit Village train station.  “MainStreetNB” will only bring more traffic congestion to our area, in North Brunswick and beyond; and it will not bring the train that encouraged people to support this project.

The Transit Village / MainStreetNB should be on the ballot November 2 so the voters of North Brunswick can decide this issue.

The outcries from area residents express strong opposition to the North Brunswick Transit Village, now “MainStreetNB”.  There has also been confusion about the nature and composition of the project.  Below are news stories and Letters to the Editor on the project:

We had a tradition, in our family; we cooked inside and ate at a large table outside in my grandparent’s yard. After the food had been laid out on the table, a designated person would offer a prayer over the meal. Then someone else would stand, raise a glass and shout “To the flag”.

My Grandfather would then rise and hold his glass in the toast position and recite the following poem he learned as a boy. Its author is unknown.

“There’s no such red in a budding rose, in falling leaves or sparkling wine.

There’s no such white in April’s blossoms, in crescent moons or in mountain snows.

There’s no such blue in a woman’s eyes, in ocean depths and heaven’s dome.

There’s no such pageantry in clustering stars, in streaming lights, in all the spectrums of the sea and skies.

And as a token of love, I present you with our flag.

May you ever love, honor and defend it.”

At the conclusion of his recitation, Gramps would always say “The 4^th of July is a day of great celebration and a day to party in the greatest country in the world. But, today is a day to remember the price we paid for that party and the people who made it possible.

Freedom is not free.

For three quarters of a century, I have enjoyed the bounties of this land and the freedoms and opportunities it has provided. Oh, we’ve had some ups and downs during that time and millions of us have been asked to sacrifice our time and put our lives on hold in order to secure our land for the greater good. We did it with faith in our God and faith in the Constitution He inspired. We have held the ship of state upright.  The inalienable rights bestowed upon us by our Creator have enabled us to advance ourselves and our nation in a free and open society. The American people have been able to attain unimaginable goals making us the leader of the free world; the greatest and most generous nation on earth and we have become that shining city on the hill.

But, somewhere along the way we have made a few wrong turns. This country of 120 million people in 1940, took on the Axis powers of Europe and Japan, fought battles in theatres all over the world, built the greatest military force in history, then fed and equipped our Allies when they could not do so. With shear perseverance on the battle fronts and the home front, that world war was brought to an end in Tokyo Bay 3 years, 8 months and 26 days from the day Pearl Harbor was bombed.

Now , with a nation of over 300 Million people, we hear  quibbling from our leaders and their followers saying that we cannot support two wars; the combat in Iraq and Afghanistan. As I see it we have only one war and that is against the terrorist organizations bound on destroying us.  Our President and his administration do not see this war for the importance that it is. He wants to pacify and apologize to the rest of the world for our actions. He equivocates on the method to contain, try and punish those who have been captured as enemy combatants; bent on killing Americans. He has even announced the time of withdrawal from the war theatres and divulged our anticipated tactics to the world; just what Al Quida and the Taliban would like to know.  Instead of securing the nation, we have been thrown into an abyss of debt for programs that push us in the direction of European Socialism. Our Government suffers from the disease of being constitutionally and ethically challenged from the top down and our National Banner has been soiled.

God has been slapped in the face. Once by the removal of prayer from our schools, second by the mocking of the Ten Commandments, Third by the President’s recent snubbing of the National Day of Prayer and  by preventing Franklin Graham, the co-chairman of the National Day of Prayer from attending the service in the Pentagon. And, fourth in the name of diversity, an assault has been mounted on anything invoking the name of God, including our money.  Jesus said that when we are slapped in the face, to turn the other cheek, but even Jesus had only two cheeks.

We have become so politically correct that American boys can’t wear shirts bearing the American Flag into an American school in California for fear of offending Hispanic students. But, yet it is alright for students in California to raise a Mexican flag above an upside down American Flag at a public school paid for and supported by American Taxpayers. A girl’s basketball team from the Chicago area was denied permission to go to Arizona and play in a tournament because the Assistant Administrator felt the new Arizona immigration law was not consistent with the school’s values.

We have lost our industries, the source of our wealth and good paying jobs, because of taxes and over bearing  regulations. And, there is still more to come in energy regulation and the global warming fiasco.

I am asking you today to pay the price again to recapture this community, this State and this Nation from those who would attempt to turn us into a European state. We don’t have to land troops from Higgins Boats along the shores of the Potomac, or drop an Airborne division on the National Mall to achieve that goal.  Through the privacy of the voting booth you can ad luster to those stars in the field of blue, cleanse the white stripes and refresh the red to a brilliant hue. As Benjamin Franklin  said at the signing of the Declaration of Independence, “A new race has been created; The American race.” We are not Europeans. We are all Americans. If we return to the principals upon which this Nation was founded and pray to our God for forgiveness; He will do as He promised and heal our land. Thank you. God Bless us and God Bless America.

The timely and predictable heavy merges of traffic will ease. Construction money will be better spent on expanding already successful light rails, modifying an existing tunnel lane or two from auto to rail, and constructing overpasses, replacing traffic lights, for more efficiency.

NJ can get out of the benefits obligations for retirees, at once ridding ourselves of enormous ‘deferred’ debt, and abusive practices for the ‘connected’. Just fairly assign all existing pension funds to the participating current workers and retirees.

A 401(K) type plan will protect everyone’s’ current share from being squandered by outrageous benefits to a few . Our State funding has not kept up with its Legislators’ political promises and is not likely to cover the $100 Billion already shorted. Individual statements would inform and keep the situation from worsening. Time to face the reality of facts over unfunded ‘promises’.

We have even promised free retiree medical, though Medicare is standard for the rest of us.

Rising ever higher, the yearly cost in our NJ Budget for all retiree benefits is reported to exceed $4 Billion, now. We need these monies better spent for New Jersey’s future. This is real Monetization.
