Goodbye County Party LINE

 Don't you just feel like throwing a parade when the world finally catches up with you on an issue when it seemed no one was listening? I remember people in my own community giving us the side eye when we protested "the LINE". For years we have watched the integrity challenged politicians in our City manipulate and control the LINE.

Word on the curb is that the "Federal court scraps New Jersey’s cotroversial ‘county line’ ballot design". https://www.cnn.com/2024/03/29/politics/new-jersey-ballot-county-line/index.html

Now it looks like Democrats who had formerly profited and taken advantage of the LINE may watch the change that is coming. NJ Democrats like Valerie Huttle and Andy Kim have taken the bull by the horns.

My grandchildren and I were prepared for the 2020 Elections and were looking forward to the counting of Electoral Votes. We were not prepared for the attack on the Country's Capitol Building. We were having a lesson in Civics when the Capitol was breached in real time. The World's schoolchildren were being taught virtually because of Covid 19. 

When the Senate and Congress were allowed back in the Capitol Building, we watched Andy Kim participate in the clean up, in his good blue suit.

He was in a different building during the attack, but he was present the morning after the January 6th insurrection helping to clean up the mess. My grandchildren and I agreed that his actions spoke to his character and that he had a good upbring. 

That blue suit is now hanging in the Smithsonian. 

We would like to thank Congressman Andy Kim and others for their unrelenting work in neutralizing NJ's County LINE. 

In 2022 the agenda of the County Bosses became more blatant when 4th Warders were called upon, to vote for a Candidate chosen for us by the party bosses and elected officials in our Community.  We did not like the fact that she was being given to us and we had no idea who she was. It was not easy to beat the LINE, but we did and we elected the Candidate Chosen by the Voters in the 4th Ward. The County Bosses had gotten together with local Englewood Politicians and selected someone that almost none of us knew. We had no idea who she was.  We should never have to deal with such political heavy handedness.

Below are a few examples of how the 4th Ward Gazette protested the "LINE" over the years.
