Hello Everyone,
Over the past six month I have been working with the Pennsylvania Environmental Council,taking a Delaware River Ambassador course. Our job as Ambassadors is to bring the general public to enjoy the tidal Delaware River.
As part of our project on June 8th, I along with other Delaware River Ambassadors will be hosting a Boat Parade on the Delaware River. There will be a lot going on that day, land and water activities. There will also be rides on the North Wind Sail Boat from Gloucester City giving free rides at Penn\’s Landing.
We will be having VIP parties on either side of the river, Camden Wiggins Marina, and Philadelphia, Penn\’s Landing Marina.
There is all of this and much more.
I hope all of you will be able to come out and enjoy this boat parade in one way or another.
Thank you,
Nick Marchese, Gloucester City, NJ

In another non-title bout on the same card, Argentina\’s LucasMatthysse was even more impressive in stopping IBF light welterweight champion Lamont Peterson, knocking down the American three times en route to a third-round TKO.

House Passes 37th Bill on ObamaCare
May 16, 2013
ObamaCare is falling apart. Two-thirds of the states have refused to set up the health insurance exchanges. Only 26 Governors support Medicaid expansion. And, as Phyllis noted in a recent column, even one of ObamaCare’s leading architects, Sen. Max Baucus (D-Montana), admits it is heading for a \”train wreck\” later this year.
ABC News reported that the IRS official in charge of tax-exempt organizations from 2009 to 2012, when tea party conservative groups were improperly targeted for scrutiny and harassment, is now in charge of the office responsible for enforcing ObamaCare! The IRS official, Sarah Hall Ingram, received over $100,000 in bonuses during the years 2009-2012 on top of her $170,000 annual salary.
This evening, in the House of Representatives, two Democrats voted with 227 Republicans and passed another full repeal of ObamaCare. This is the 37th bill to pass the U.S. House that repeals or rescinds funding for all or part of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act. Seven of these bills have been passed by the Senate and signed into law by the President. See that list here.

Over 400,000 low-paid workers would benefit from a ballot measure that would raise New Jersey’s minimum wage by one dollar to $8.25 per hour and index the minimum wage to rise automatically with the cost of living, according to a new report released today by New Jersey Policy Perspective. The report finds that this wage increase would generate more than $174 million in new economic growth and support the creation of the equivalent of over 1,500 new full-time jobs as businesses expand to meet increased consumer demand.

The shameless plotting of gun control advocates in Trenton was caught on tape last week when a live microphone in the Senate Budget Committee was left on. Senate Majority Leader Loretta Weinberg was part of a conversation discussing gun confiscation. This recording has been posted on YouTube and has garnered national attention. Undaunted by the negative public reaction, New Jersey Senators continued to push forward with their anti-Second Amendment agenda.
The state Senate approved several gun control measures on Monday, May 13, and the New Jersey Assembly has placed them on their calendar for consideration this Monday, May 20 at 1:00 pm. The Assembly floor agenda is subject to change. The remaining bills passed in the Senate on May 13 may require action in Assembly committees before they can be taken up on the Assembly floor. As of today, the Assembly is currently scheduled to consider the following bills, among others:
