New Year's News Roundup
Many newspapers are doing retrospectives of the year that was. No
surprise who got top billing from the Ocean County Observer: Lt.
Laurel Hester. I wonder if she knew just how powerful her legacy would
be one year later.
In addition to helping countless sufferers of disease like diabetes
or Alzheimers, the new stem cell research center also has much local
promise as well. The stemcell research center (to be named for the
late actor and activist Chris Reeve) suggests bigtime progress for
Camden, as well.
As many of you know, the country lost it's 3oooth soul in Iraq over
the holiday weekend. Peace activists from New Jersey and beyond will
be hitting the streets of Washington later this month. On the 27th, we
will take our mandate to the capital's Mall. On the 29th, we'll be on
Capital Hill doing direct lobbying of legislators to end this
senseless war. So who's in? I'll be headed down and I hope many of my
peace loving brothers and sisters will be joining me from the Garden
State.
Some previously red township councils that flipped blue last
November will be swearing in new progressives today. Likewise the GOP
is floundering in Washington Township.
