August 9, 2010
On August 26th, we will celebrate the 90th anniversary of women's suffrage. For ninety years, women have had the right to formally participate in the electoral process. The long, hard-fought battle was waged by an admirable group of women who weren't afraid to challenge the status quo in what appeared to some as an insurmountable fight for equality. And we as a society owe so much to them for their courage and perseverance.

Gov. Christie's 'Jersey Comeback' Ignores Economic Security for Middle-Class Families
January 25, 2012
Nobody likes to highlight their own failures. So it’s no wonder in his second State of the State Address, Governor Christie did not even touch on the issue of economic security. While most of New Jersey families scrape by paycheck to paycheck, the central message of Chris Christie’s vision for our state is that we’re in “comeback” mode.
Despite the fact that poll after poll still indicates the overriding concern of the public is the economy, the Governor’s message relied heavily on platitudes and empty rhetoric, leaving any reference to bolstering the livelihoods of middle and low income families on the cutting room floor.
