STRATEN: PRESERVE, DON’T TAKE AWAY, OUR FREEDOMS

.

WEST ORANGE – Reminding the assembled crowd that the state’s motto is “liberty and prosperity,” Roland Straten, Republican challenger for NJ’s 8^th Congressional District seat in the House of Representatives, pledged at a “Rally for Freedom” Sunday that a vote for him will be a vote to preserve political and economic freedoms: Freedoms that are slipping away because of massive debt, deficits and government controls imposed by Bill Pascrell and his fellow Democrats in the 111^th Congress.

.

Straten was the featured speaker at the Rally, organized by Citizens for Freedom founder Domenic Cotter, who also spoke. Various local activists took turns addressing the enthusiastic crowd, including Dr. Yitzhak Berger, a local urologist, researcher and professor; Brian Goldberg, the “Advocate for Democracy” (www.advocatefordemocracy.org), whose goal is “government of, by and for ALL Americans”; Vanessa Jean-Louis, a blogger at Afroconservative.com; Sue Ann Penna, President of the Essex County Tea Party; and Bobbi Bennett, Straten for Congress campaign manager. Before the rally, Straten volunteers handed out pocket-sized Constitutions while the Apache Twins and Jimmy Tea supplied musical entertainment.

.

Reinforcing the rally’s theme as he spoke, Straten held aloft a Heritage Foundation report, “Mostly Free,” in which relatively low rankings are assigned to various economic freedoms in the United States as compared with other nations.

.

“If Pelosi and Pascrell have their way, we will be mostly un-free,” Straten said. “We need to take back our country.”
