Saturday March 26, 2011 at 56 Monroe Street (corner of Observer Highway and Monroe St)
From 1 pm to 3 pm
Dear Neighbor,
I hope you will join us for the Grand Opening of our campaign headquarters at 56 Monroe Street
Saturday, March 26, 1 p.m.
We are excited to get the campaign going and hope you can be there with us as we kick things off.
Five months ago, you helped deliver a stunning victory for the 4th ward. Before that victory, nobody gave us a chance. Well, we not only survived one of the most negative campaigns in the history of the 4th ward, we changed the entire course of the debate.
Before this campaign, nobody in Hoboken was talking about a dangerous gas Pipeline. We brought that issue to the council and got unanimous support to go on record against the gas pipeline.
This campaign made the surplus an issue. While they were trying to keep taxpayer money, I was fighting to give it back. Now, everyone's talking about the surplus.
Before our campaign, hope for a 4th ward park was at an all-time low. Today, a 4th ward park sits at the top of the city's agenda. We said: NO to a $20 million bond ordinance until a 4th ward park became a top priority. And now it is!
We led the charge to get $1.6 million in repairs to the parks we already have, including Mama Johnson Field, the Boys and Girls Club Park and Jackson Street Park, all in the 4th ward. We also got the city and the Housing Authority together for a new playing surface for Mama Johnson Field, so our kids can have a safe and enjoyable place to play.
This campaign brought attention to dangerous traffic conditions in the 4th ward. We promised to get action on these, and we delivered. We got buses rerouted. We got intersections painted. Stop signs installed. We got potholes filled, street lights repaired, and we put community service back in style.
And that's just five months of work. Imagine what we're going to be able to do with four whole years.
We need your help, though. We need volunteers to stuff envelopes, make phone calls, and knock on doors.
Make no mistake. We are in for a fight. Our opponent will follow the same playbook from November's election.
They will be negative. They'll be divisive, and will tell any lie to hide the truth.
We will be positive, We will be inclusive. And we will always put our neighborhood first.
We said the 4th ward needed new energy and a new direction. Well, the energy is you and the direction is forward.
Fourth Ward First!
See you Saturday,
Tim Occhipinti
4th Ward Councilman
