COMMUNITY VOICE: Clearing Up Obamacare

Regarding the “Affordable Care Act (ACA)”, some things need to be cleared up for many Americans and other “failed policy apologists” that are failing their families and communities daily. As of this writing, 800,000 New Jersey citizens have fallen victim to insurance policy cancellations. The reason for this is that under the ACA (ObamaCare), these […]

COMMUNITY VOICE: Obamacare on Life Support?

Well, have you Obama Kool-Aid drinkers come to a logical conclusion since your man has made a complete fool of himself? Given the opportunity this man can do even more damage to our country; that will have a definitive negative effect on us – now and in the future. Obama has shown he would rather […]

COMMUNITY VOICE: Going for Broke

Well, the U.S. Government shutdown has proven nothing at all – just two political parties fighting over some things that we don’t understand but them. Many of the Government workers want to go back to work. This shutdown was only to bug the American people in a certain way. Or is it just showing us what […]

COMMUNITY VOICE: The Positive Side

The letter is requesting a correction for an article that was written on the last council meeting. The article stated that I agreed with Mr. Caba regarding the public being afraid of coming t City Council meetings. I did agree with Mr. Caba but for a completely different reason. When stated that they are afraid […]

COMMUNITY VOICE: Obamacare Yes or No?

Obamacare Yes or No? Or delay it for now. Those politicians on Capitol Hill have to decide what’s good for America. I love when those Democrats and Republicans act like little kids when it comes for our concerns. For me, Washington D.C. is just a playground for the politicians to play in the sandbox. And […]

COMMUNITY VOICE: My 5 Cents

As a young child growing up during the depression days in the 1930’s there was no jobs, no unemployment, banks crashed, people losing their homes and money they had in the bank. I remember people saying how people jumped off the Victory Bridge on Friday as I sat and listened to the different speakers. I […]

COMMUNITY VOICE: History Repeats Itself

I used to be skeptical of the saying “History repeats itself.” However when I think of the present international situation regarding the Middle East and compare it to the late 1930’s in Europe I am not so sure! Seventy-five years ago when I delivered the Perth Amboy Evening News, on Elizabeth Street and lower Hall […]

COMMUNITY VOICE: Robbery in Perth Amboy

Perth Amboy has been good to me. I grew up here, I have my home here, I send my children to school here and I work here. I have always been proud about my town, always defending the town from all the criticism people talk about. I walk the street and feel very comfortable with […]

COMMUNITY VOICE: Planned Parenthood’s Agenda

Planned Parenthood’s press release (9/16) about its award to the late Senator Frank Lautenberg reflects PP’s constant campaign of euphemism, doubletalk, and evasion to avoid talking about its central goal: expanding its abortion business and getting you, the taxpayer, to pay for it. Using phrases like “women’s health” and “leadership,” PP tries to dodge the […]

COMMUNITY VOICE: Honoring George J. Otlowski, Sr.

Friday the 13th usually stirs anxieties in many people. It is also known as Triskaidekaphobia or fear of Friday the 13th. I tossed in this big word to show that I am an 8th grade graduate. It certainly did not affect the overflowing crowd which attended the ceremony honoring George J. Otlowski, Sr. in naming […]

COMMUNITY VOICE: A Plea to American Citizens

America has been embarrassed by the lack of response to the Benghazi attack which took place over a year ago. Washington has turned a deaf ear to the pleas for retaliation against those who killed our Ambassador and three Embassy employees. The murder of Americans on Embassy grounds and the destruction of our Embassy, which […]

COMMUNITY VOICE: A Fair Tax on Imports

There are embedded taxes in all the goods and services produced in America. The one exception is imported goods and services (they pay no income taxes or for Medicare and Social Security). The National Debt can be lowered, along with the projected shortfall in funding for Social Security and Medicare, by adding a 23% tax […]

COMMUNITY VOICE: What That ‘Fifty Caliber’ Ban Really Means

The media told of a proposed law that would ban .50 caliber rifles, etc. This seems like a regurgitation of an earlier failed proposal to ban firearms that were greater than .50 caliber. While it seems to be aimed at a rare firearm, the effect would be ban most shotguns, as well as those 19th […]

COMMUNITY VOICE: Outside the Box

I’ve always considered myself to be an outside-of-the-box, non-mainstream type of thinker. Likewise, many of those in the political arena and religious leaders (especially the “cult” type) have their own different opinion (or don’t) and I’ll more than likely tell you what I really believe. Yet unlike a politician or religious zealot I won’t force […]
