Assemblyman Upendra Chivukula for Congress

(Uh-pendra Shiv-a-koola)

Upendra Chivukula represents real people who live and work in central Jersey. Help him unseat Tea Party extremist Leonard Lance, the darling of bankers on Wall Street and radicals in Washington.

Just recently, Lance voted to slash funds for kids who need immunizations, and women who need breast cancer screenings, but he voted to give billions in subsidies to Big Oil and Gas companies. This is an outrage, and it's time for Lance to go.

You can also find Chivukula on Facebook and Twitter.

Letter and appeal from County Chair Lois Zarish

If you're like me, you have had quite enough of the Obama-bashing that has taken center stage during the Republican primary campaign. Each of the candidates has attacked the President while staking out the most extreme right-wing positions. None has acknowledged the fact that the financial collapse occurred during the Bush presidency and that only bold action by a Democratic president stabilized the economy. Unfortunately the same tune is being carried by New Jersey Republicans led by Chris Christie and all the members of our County Board of Chosen Freeholders…
