Support Montville's own Joe Pennacchio

I am writing to ask you to join me in supporting Joe Pennacchio for US Senate in 2008.  Joe is dedicated to providing both the type of efficient effective government that we need representing us in Washington, D.C., and the type of leadership that we need to help to revitalize the Republican Party in New Jersey.

Joe has just won the Hunterdon County Republican Convention, giving him the key endorsement of The Hunterdon Republican Committee for the primary.  This brings Joe one step closer to victory for the primary election.  The next convention will be held this Saturday in Union County.  Additional immediate financial contributions are crucial to the grass-roots work necessary for success in this upcoming primary. 

We can't let our elections be bought by self funded candidates.  Let's show the state of NJ that the Republican party is alive and well and that we're not afraid of the hard work it takes to get the right candidate elected.  The candidate who can beat Frank Lautenberg in the general election and not the one with the most money!

So I ask you to please consider making a donation no matter how small to Joe Pennacchio for US Senate.  You can go to Joe’s web site at www.jerseyjoe08.com and click on the icon that says DONATE ONLINE.  Or if you'd like you can mail a check to:

It is time for Frank Lautenberg to retire, but it will take both money and grass roots support for Joe to be successful.

Joe has fought hard to protect our tax dollars in Trenton and he will do the same in Washington.  In the NJ Legislature Joe has fought for the taxpayer by:

ü  Fights to protect the integrity of our homeland security dollars

ü  He questioned why Newark donates land for a hockey arena, while state taxpayers pay millions for “Abbott” Schools in the inner city

ü  Holds the state accountable to explain why 80 urban schools cost an average $75,000,000 to build

A former Morris County Freeholder, Joe helped to bolster the Morris County economy by establishing a $75 million economic growth fund and worked to secure funding for the Master Plan for the Picatinny Technology Transfer Program. As a founding Board Member of Screen for Life of Morris County, Senator Pennacchio also promotes awareness of early cancer detection for Morris County residents.    

                  

As an assemblyman Joe has worked diligently in Trenton to improve the lives of New Jersey's children and to protect open space. He has sponsored legislation that was signed into law which gives the county surrogate the option to deposit minors’ funds in a federally insured bank anywhere in the United States, allowing them to earn a higher rate of interest.  Joe has also sponsored legislation that successfully enabled the County of Morris to acquire 400 acres of open space for $1 and legislation that makes it easier for family members to become legal guardians of children, which has become a national model.

Senator Pennacchio is a former member of Governor DiFrancesco’s New Jersey Economic Development Authority and the Montville Economic Development Council.  He is also a founder and former member of the Montville Education Foundation. 

Joe is going to be as diligent and effective in the US Senate as he has been in the NJ General Assembly and State Senate.
