Bloschak: Education Rally A True Declaration of Independence for New Jersey's Children

Newark-Andrew Bloschak, a lifelong community activist and the Urban Republican choice for Assembly in the 28th District, was pleased at the turnout and unity for change in education at yesterday's rally in the downtown of the state's largest city. Despite inclemement weather conditions, advocates representing a diverse realm of groups assembled for the rally.
"I was excited to see how many people braved the rain for this event to stand up for our kids future," Bloschak said.
Groups and persons in attendance represented both political parties. They included Rev. Reginald Jackson of Orange, the leader of the New Jersey Black Minister's Council and a lead fundraiser for former Presidential Candidate and Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, Dan Gaby, Chair of the Excellence in Education Group and a former Democratic US Senate candidate, WeCare Partnership Chair Herbert Glenn, and School Choice Advocate Rabbi Israel Teitelbaum. Former and current Republican candidates for office in Essex County Barry Funt, Roland Straten and Mark Meyerowitz all attended. The Star-Ledger and several other media outlets covered the rally.
"This July 4th we celebrate how great this nation is and how lucky we are to live in the United States. However, amid all the barbecues and fireworks which all Americans including myself will be enjoying this weekend, we should take a moment to consider how much better we can make our country by giving our least fortunate children a greater choice of where they can go to school. In my campaign and my work as an Assemblyman in the future, I will make a first-class education for every child a top priority." Bloschak proclaimed.
