In the 3rd district for House, you have Frederick LaVergne and for Senate, you have Eugene LaVergne running Tracy and I under the Democratic-Republican Party Ticket.

When sumething works, don't fix it, Jon Runyan is doing a fine job.

Mr. Campbell, I am not running "against" Jon Runyan. I am applying for the position, as I feel I am more qualified and can do a better job. The enemy of excellence is "good enough". Jon is not a bad guy, but he is only "allowed" to do what his party lets him. I'm not going to play the attack ad game - it's not who I am, and it's not appropriate. I find there is just too much left undone. When the big questions come up, he will not depart from the Republican Party Line - even if his personal beliefs dictate otherwise. That's because he knows that, if he does, the money stops. Probably the biggest issue you NEVER heard of has been effectively kept from the general public for months...but he knows about it, even if Faux News and MSNBC won't tell you. Quick history lesson - did you know that the original "Bill of Rights" contained 12 amendments, not 10? Did you further know that the first of these, the "Apportionment Amendment", believed to have failed in ratification, was discovered last Fall to have PASSED as of 1792? Both Adler and Runyan were informed in writing about the ratification votes of Connecticut and Kentucky, and provided with certified copies of all of the supporting documents and briefs from the lawsuit compelling it's application. They have, at the instruction of their respective parties, declined to engage on this issue. This will break in the news in less than 30 days, because the oral arguments will be available to the general public.

Patch has consistently left independent candidates out of the mix. We have Len Marshall in District 4, (Northern Ocean and parts of Monmouth County), and I am running in the Third Congressional District...there are two other independents, as well.
I am Frederick John LaVergne, and I am standing for election this Fall for Congress. If you are tired of a two-horse race where the same stable owns both horses, we should talk.

Some tribes in Sudan and Senegal http://www.coachoutletonlinexc.net/ Coach Factory Outlet have an average height of 6-foot-6, which also happens to be the size of the average NBA player. People in Nigeria, http://www.louisvuittonoutletam.net/ Louis Vuitton Purses Mali and Congo tend to be very big and physical. We need to build a strategy to go into these regions http://www.coachoutletstoreze.com/ Coach Factory Outlet and cultivate the talent through infrastructure and instruction.Not long ago, soccer in Africa was almost http://www.guccibeltsoutletds.net/ Gucci Belts the same way. It was untapped.Kids in Africa start kicking a ball when they are six or seven years old, if not younger. http://www.coachfactoryonlinefn.net/ Coach Factory Outlet It's like baseball, basketball and football in America. If you're talented, people will find you. That's what http://www.coachfactoryonlineae.com/ Coach Factory Outlet happened with soccer. The number of academies has grown rapidly, and people are really into it. As a http://www.coachoutletb1.com/ Coach Factory Online result, nearly every major soccer team has a lot of African players.Through my experience as a Nigerian player, http://www.coachoutlethcs.com/ Coach Outlet Online coach and now NBA executive, I believe basketball can follow a similar path. It starts with building facilities. We need http://www.coachoutletonlinegc.com/ Coach Outlet Online to start investing in outdoor courts and indoor gyms for kids to play.
