‘40-IN-40’ TOUR MAKES MOORESTOWN STOP 14 IN ITS CROSS-COUNTY QUEST
By BCDCIronically, for a township that does not allow liquor sales, Moorestown was named for Thomas Moore, a major landowner and operator of a popular hotel and tavern in the early 1700s. Near the end of the American Revolution, Hessian mercenaries tried using that same tavern as a refuge before they were rooted out by local militiamen who returned control of Moorestown to its citizens.
In similar fashion, Kersey and Bernard came to Moorestown as part of their fight to wrest control of the Freeholder Board from the corrupt Republican machine and return it to the working families of Burlington County.
One Moorestown resident who said he had enough of the Republicans was Mark Singer of East Central Avenue.
“I’m upset with one-party rule in Burlington County,” he said. “It has dealt the residents a losing hand with a corrupt and self-serving government. It is time for a change.”
Kersey and Bernard will bring that much-needed change to Burlington County with their “Straight A’s for Change” plan. They went door to door in various parts of the township for nearly five hours as they brought their plan to make county government more accountable, accessible and affordable directly to the people.
You can learn more about the “Straight A’s for Change” and about the “40-in-40: Listen and Learn” Tour by visiting www.ChangeBurlcoNow.com.

Quote of the Day
"Please. I wouldn't have enough paper. So let’s not even bother writing one. This is now about governing. I won. The one thing I could never understand about people in politics was winners who are sore winners." -- Gov.-elect Christopher Christie, on putting together an enemis list.
“He’s a nice man with good intentions, but in the end he’ll be remembered for timidity. Being a business titan and issuing orders from the corner office is a lot different than having to cajole and persuade people in politics and having the toughness and fortitude to see your vision become reality.”-- Ross K. Baker, a political scientist at Rutgers University, on Gov. Jon Corzine.
