Editor, Asbury Park Sun, The A-Team is Back. The A-Team is back – they just changed their name to “Citizens for Asbury Park.” It’s the same A-Team that falsified a Cory Booker endorsement and plastered it all over town, even after Senator Booker publicly denied it.  The same A-Team that ran a messenger ballot scheme […]

Editor, Asbury Park Sun, Rabbi Zalman Schater-Shalomi at 85 says this: “When you’re in the December of your years and you know you are coming to the end of your tour of duty, what is the spiritual work of this time, and how do you prepare for the mystery?” He is talking about death and dying. I, at […]

Editor, the Asbury Park Sun, The Premier Theatre represents the very best of Asbury Park. Its community-driven mission and diverse cast, including an age range from four to 76 years old, provides opportunities for Asbury Park and surrounding communities to find artistic expression through musical theater. Premier’s fruitful relationships with waterfront redeveloper Madison Marquette and […]

Editor, Asbury Park Sun, In recent months we have had demonstrations and public unrest over the deaths of Michael Brown, Trayvon Martin, Tamir Rice, Renisha McBride, Jordan Davis and Eric Garner. All of the victims were African American. Their killers were not black — so much for black on black crime. Five were killed by gunfire […]

Editor, Asbury Park Sun, On behalf of the Deal Lake Commission , the hundreds of lake shore residents, and the thousands of Deal Lake users we thank the hard working students of Monmouth University on helping out with our annual Deal Lake fall cleanup.

Editor, Asbury Park Sun, The Asbury Park election is just a few days away and all residents must come out and support Asbury Together. This election is the most important one since 2001. It’s imperative that we, as a community, support Asbury Together: John Moor for mayor, Amy Quinn, Jesse Kendle, Joe Woerner, and Yvonne […]

Editor, Asbury Park Sun, After attending both the “Candidates’ Debate” at the VFW Hall last Wednesday and the Asbury Park Homeowners Association “Meet the Candidates” event on Saturday, I am convinced the whole Asbury Together ticket must be voted into office on Nov. 4, 2014. While Asbury Together was putting forth facts about issues and suggesting […]

Editor, the Asbury Park Sun, This is certainly one of the most important elections in our city’s 140 year history. Last year our citizens spoke and demanded a break from the past and to adopt a new form of government that would seek to shed the dysfunction that has long-held Asbury Park back. Last week’s […]

Editor, Asbury Park Sun, I support the Asbury Together team because I believe that with diversity there is progress. Without, there is impasse or deadlock and input is too one-sided along with vision and cooperation. I implore all to vote and keep our city moving forward. — Rev. David J. Parreott. Jr., Asbury Park [This letter […]
