(WEST ORANGE) – Representatives of NJ Citizen Action and other consumer and civil rights organizations will be joined by Assemblyman John F. McKeon (D-Essex/Morris) and Assemblywoman Mila M. Jasey (D-Essex/Morris) to protest the national trend towards stricter voter ID laws at a news conference on Wednesday.

Players from the Strongsville (Ohio) Dirtbags American Legion Baseball team give back year-round to the veterans who served their country and made Legion baseball possible. Many of the young men serve meals at posts and exchange their gloves for yard tools in an effort to help veterans with outdoor chores. But earlier this summer, the players decided to give back to veterans as a team, and succeeded in doing so during their annual fundraising picnic.
