(CNSNews.com) – Supreme Court nominee Sonia Sotomayor ruled in January 2009 that states do not have to obey the Second Amendment’s commandment that the right to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed. In Maloney v. Cuomo, Sotomayor signed an opinion of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit that said the Second Amendment does not protect individuals from having their right to keep and bear arms restricted by state governments.

She overlooked a sea of motorcycles and bandana-wearing war veterans gathered today in the Pentagon’s north parking lot for the 22nd Annual Rolling Thunder rally. Each and every one of them, she said, share her husband Warren’s passion to never let the nation forget that some of their battle buddies and brothers in arms never came home. 

That being said, I ask you, before you cast your ballot on Election Day, ask yourself, are you satisfied with the work that has been done over the last three years? Look at your tax bill, look at your neighborhood, look at the services you receive from the city and ask, over the last three years, have any of them improved as you were told they would?

This is a turning point for Gloucester City and the Democrat Party. Upon reflection on these questions, I would ask that you cast your vote accordingly, for a better Gloucester City and a stronger Democratic Party.
