"The work begins anew, the hope rises again, and the dream lives on!"

The scrolling headline on CNN, Wednesday morning after the election, was "Election 2009 fueled by anger, frustration." This was, unfortunately, a very accurate summation. It is evident that voters pushed the "R" button for Governor and then went blindly down the line in Somerset County. It did not matter if you were running for Assembly, Freeholder or Council; the numbers show 60/30 down the line. The voters left reason, issues, and facts at the door, and voted in anger.

We may have lost a battle; but we are winning the war. Our Democrats are uniquely qualified to defend and assure our Democratic principles; principles of fairness, opportunity, equal justice for all and a firm belief that the mission of government is not to stand on the sidelines, but to be active in pursuing these goals for the people.

Be proud to be a Raritan Democrat! We ran a great, positive, well-executed campaign. Be proud of our organization, and of our wonderful volunteers. Hold your head high, so that you can see ahead, for we are not finished!
