Cory Booker Al Tarik On'Que, one of the organizers on my team said,
"We can only go as far as we take each other!" That is so true and

Cory Booker I appointed Victoria Pratt to serve as a Municipal Court Judge. At her swearing in ceremony she spoke of her strong immigrant family and stated that her parents "never let their income determine her outcome." I am proud of Judge Pratt and grateful for her service - she will serve the residents of our state well and make Newark proud.

Unfortunately, with the privatization of many of the voting systems around the country by Republican-owned companies, the proven vulnerability of these systems to hacking and other kinds of manipulation, the nefarious ways certain states have used to purge voters from the rolls or otherwise cause voters (almost always people of color) to cast ... Read Moreprovisional ballots (which never count), no knowledgeable person would say that the most important thing we need to do is vote. Always and forever, the foremost thing is maintaining the integrity of elections. The 2008 election showed that we have a long way to go in establishing a system that even gives people the chance to vote. Although several states instituted early voting, many of the polling places could not handle the numbers of people trying to vote. Long lines weeks before Election Day---lines that were long every day---proved that previous Election Days must have left many people out because this country makes voting more inconvenient than any other democracy. Making Election Day a national holiday would be one step in ensuring convenience while spotlighting the huge importance our representative democracy places on the right and responsibility of voting. There is much more to say, of course....

National Holiday. Many countries do it. Why we don't is an interesting question.

Officer Christopher Reid had 1.5 hours in his day to tow legally parked cars in my neighborhood and he is 2nd in command...however, when authorities are called to respond to drug activity on the same violators for two weeks, nothing is done and they come back everynight at the same time ?? Please explain Mr. Mayor. Have I moved to Hamsterdam circa The Wire ?

Wow Rashida I hear you, it feels like Newark has to raise its entire budget with its draconian ticket policies. It is insane and that court, oh brother, wear you down until you pay up.
I'm very sad to even think of comparing Newark to the Wire's (best show ever) Bmore. I'm truly sorry you have to live with that bad stuff going down in your ... Read Moreneighborhood. Truly sad. Worked in Newark 8 years, love Newark, but I live in a safe suburb, don't have to worry about drug dealers in my streets. It sucks anyone has to deal with that all the time.

Cory Booker The sedentary cynic speaks much and often. For hope's heroes, action is their eloquence & sweat their song as they pass the pessimist on the path of progress. Newark, as those who doubt and disbelieve call us to failure and passively point to work not yet done, let us continue in our courage. Step by step, brick by brick we will silence the cynics and deliver on our dreams for our city.
