Hammonton Democrats Welcome Congressional and Freeholder Candidates to the Red, White and Blueberry Festival
Permalink   
 


 

This years Democratic Ticket showed a strong presence at the Red, White and Blueberry Festival. David Kurkowski, Alisa Cooper and Jim Schroeder joined local Council Candidates Anthony Falcone, Jim MacLane and Michael Perrotta at the festival. Kurkowski is the Democratic Candidate for the 2nd Congressional District of which Hammonton is a part. Atlantic County Freeholder-at-Large Alisa Cooper is seeking re-election. Jim Schroeder also is running for Freeholder-at-Large.

The group listened to voters concerns as they walked around the festival. They talked about a wide range of subjects from Hammontons rich heritage of agriculture to Veterans issues, an important item for the local Democrats.

David Kurkowski stated,

I would like to thank the Hammonton Democrats, especially Anthony (Falcone), Jim (MacLane) and Michael (Perrotta) for inviting me to join them today. Hammonton is fortunate to have such a dedicated, hard-working organization like the Hammonton Democratic Club.

The Red, White and Blueberry Festival is such a great event. This festival gives me a chance to really hear what is on the minds of the citizens of the second Congressional district. Listening to the concerns of the voter will not just be critical to victory in November but also be the key to serving effectively in the U.S. Congress.

Alisa Cooper said, I have attended the Red, White and Blueberry Festival for many years and I can truly say it is one of the best traditions in Atlantic County. Not only is it a lot of fun but it also reminds us of the importance of agriculture to our local economy. Jim Schroeder added, Hammontons blueberry farms have a special place in my heart. For ten years while growing up, I worked at blueberry farms in and around Hammonton.

Council Candidate Anthony Falcone stated,

I think this visit by the other candidates, the first of many, shows how critical Hammonton is in this election year. We are honored to be sharing a ticket with David (Kurkowski), Alisa (Cooper) and Jim (Schroeder). Jim (MacLane), Michael (Perrotta) and I look forward to working with them in the future to deliver services and benefits to the people of Hammonton.

Council Candidate Jim MacLane added,

I think that the visit today demonstrates two important points. First, the Democratic Party, from the region down to the local ticket, realizes the importance of agriculture to the economy. The Hammonton Democrats have talked a lot about bringing jobs to Hammonton. Agriculture is important to attracting jobs.

The second point is the importance of a multi-level approach by government to solve problems. The Town, County, State and Federal Government must work in partnership to assist citizens. The Hammonton Democrats are prepared to take this approach.

Council Candidate Michael Perrotta commented, Each citizen of Hammonton deserves a voice at all levels of government. We local candidates have talked about serving all of Hammonton. This team will ensure that the needs of Hammonton will be represented from the U.S. Congress down to the Town Council.

The Hammonton Democrats invite the public regardless of political affiliation to continue the conversation about issues affecting the Town and the region the second Tuesday of each month at 7:30 pm at the Hammonton Public Library. Email us at info@hammontondems.org or go to www.hammontondems.org for more information.

It is nice that you welcome Congressional and Freeholder Candidates.  But why is the Hammonton Democratic Party supporting McCain for president?  Doesn't he represent everything you disagree with including continuing the war in Iraq, continuing with the Bush tax cuts, drilling for oil off the NJ coast?  Doesn't McCain represent another 8 years of the failed policies of the Republican party?

Why would any democratic organization in America support McCain for President?  How can any Democrat in this country support a candidate that has supported Bush and his failed policies for so long?

Please explain yourselves.

Kudo's to the Hammonton Democrats that support John McCain. He is much better qualified than Barack Obama. If anyone compares John McCain's resume and experience with that of Barack Obama, McCain is the best choice to lead our country.

It is about time we elect the best people not just political parties.

Interesting to see prominent Democrats for McCain. A lot of Democrats are realizing that Barrack Hussein Obama would not be a good choice for President.

 Hopefully prominent Firsters realize that having Hammonton First have total control of Town Council would not be good for Hammonton.

The Democrats are certainly accepting a lot of independent positions. Some of their leaders have openly come out against Barrack Obama. Now Rich Jacobus has come out against a new school. He wrote in the Hammonton News, "We just built a new high school for over $30 million dollars. How much blood do they want? "

McCain does have experience.  Much more experience in the Senate than Obama.  McCain also has a long record of poor judgement and bad decisions.

I'm voting for inexperience rather than bad judgement this year.  We can't afford a third term of Bush's failed policies.

The Hammonton News also came out this week with an editorial against going into more debt to build new public school buildings.

With McCain we know what we're getting, Another Bush.  McCain has no idea of the effect this war has on America.  Heck, he doesn't even know the effect the Vietnam War was like on America, he was a prisoner and did not witness the affects that war had on this nation. He's out of touch now as he was in Vietnam.

Interesting comment you made.

How could John McCain know the horrors of war? I mean, really. He was only a Navy fighter pilot who was shot down by Russian SAMs and spent 5 years in a POW camp in a country that didn't honor the Geneva Convention.

On the other hand, Barrack Hussein Obama didn't spend any time at war and wrote in his autobiography that he snorted cocaine.

Certainly there is a little difference in life experiences there, wouldn't you agree?

John McCain does not know what the effects of the Vietnam War had on the American people and their families? Whoever wrote that should be ashamed of themselves. You may not want John McCain as your President but to question his experience and caring for military families is absurd.

I hope the younger generation realizes that freedom in America has always been a struggle and will continue to be a struggle. I am very thankful John McCain is running for President because his record of service and dedication to America is outstanding. His father, grandfather and his sons are actively in the US military.

I did not vote for George Bush, Jr. but I will vote for John McCain. John McCain is much better qualified to be President than Barack Obama.

Getting shot out of the sky does not make McCain qualified to be president.
I did not post the earlier comments about McCain and Vietnam, however I will be voting for Obama because of these reasons:
  • In 2008, John McCain has voted with George W. Bush 100% of the time.
  • Bush said McCain was set to "carry forth his agenda."
  • McCain said his friendship with Bush was based on shared views on the issues.
  • McCain will continue Bush's failed policies in Iraq.
  • McCain's health care plan is the same as Bush's.
  • McCain supported Bush's efforts to privatize Social Security.
  • McCain flip-flopped to align himself with the Bush tax cuts.
  • McCain continues to support Bush's disastrous No Child Left Behind.
  • McCain offers more of the same economic policy - the same policy that led to gas increasing 400% over the last 8 years. 

I hope the older generation realizes that now, for the first time ever in American history, your children may not do as well as you did.  We are the only civilized and industrialized country in the world that allows our children to go without necessary healthcare.  Bush and his No Child Left Behind Act, supported by McCain, takes valuable resources away from gifted and average students - like your own children.

I take nothing away from McCain's military experience.  He is a war hero.  He is a war hero that makes poor decisions in running a country.  I hope the older generation realizes that war hero's DO NOT make a man qualified to lead a country.  Napoleon, Hitler, and Ceasar were soldiers.  We don't need another soldier, we need a leader.

-and don't be brainless and twist this around to say I am comparing McCain to Hitler, because if you do, you are missing the entire point.

  1. Why do you keep repeating Barrack's middle name?  What are you trying to prove??  Are you that juvenile to think that a man's middle name makes him less credible? 
  2. I dont think any president alive drank more alcohol and did more drugs than McCains close friend and ally, George W. Bush.

 

If you are trying to give people reasons not to vote for Obama, you are going to have to do much better than that.  Why dont you try talking about the issues facing this country?  Do you have the mental capacity to discuss real issues?

You sound like a spoiled little brat. What more resources do you need from the government? What more can your town do for you? What more can your state do for you? What more can your federal government do for you?

What ever happened to "ask not what your country can do for you but what you can do for your country"? If you want a government that has the capablility of giving you everything you want, you will create a government that will take everything you have.........think about it my liberal friend.

What the hell are you talking about????  I never said I needed anything, from you or from the government.  What posts are you reading??

Don't call me a brat because the Republicans sank the economy and are caught in a quagmire in Iraq.

The only reason most wealthy people are voting for McCain is because they want an extension on Bush's tax cuts for the wealthy......and you say I want something from the government??????

Again, feel free to start discussing real issues anytime you want....really.  Go ahead.  I'm waiting for some intelligent conversation right now.  I've been playing with my young children all day.

I'm amazed that anyone will openly support anyone this Presidential Election.  I haven't seen the Republicans post anything on the GOP site. Who is Hammonton First going to support Barr, Nader, or LaRouche.
