Voting is residents’ duty, responsibility, obligation
It isn’t the right to vote that keeps government responsive to those whom it governs, rather it’s those who vote who accomplished this miracle of government. Voting is more than just a right of citizenship for American citizens, it’s their duty, their responsibility, their obligation. Today — more than ever before — this country needs…

Wall, DiMaso are ‘good people, good leadership’

It would look like this: transient housing for the homeless at Phillips Park, a weekly flea market at the PNC Bank Arts Center right next to our first aid building, no local elected official speaking for Holmdel’s rights at the COAH Senate hearings,…

Have the presidential debates had any influence on how you will vote on Nov. 2?
Not really, because I already know who I want. I heard enough. I want Bush. — Ohiba Beeg Jackson I haven’t watched as much as I’d like to. Kerry is true to form, contradicting himself in my opinion. Therefore, no matter what he says in the debates, Bush is my man. — Sean Beeg JacksonNo,…
