Josh sent you an email this weekend to tell you about the horrific act that happened at my property on Friday.
I want to personally thank you for your kind words and your support.
Unfortunately, however, vandals struck again. Over night, these racists came back to my home, and spray painted large swastikas our walls.
My family and I are okay, and have installed a state of the art security system.
Let there be no mistake, the people who committed this crime did so because they feel comfortable and confident to commit hateful acts due to an ever increasing atmosphere of accepted racism.
We must work harder than ever to ensure that on November 8th, we do not let a man who has called for a ban on an entire religion, someone who has advocated for sexual assault, incest, and an attack on women's rights, in to office. But we cannot stop at the top of the ticket, his supporters, Leonard Lance-who has enthusiastically supported Trump since May, has created a vial atmosphere which fosters hate over love.
We need to end this attitude and show the rest of the world that we are better than that. We must create a government that works of, by, and for the people. We have to work hard to ensure we have a representative that represents all of the constituents in the 7th.
So I thank you for your continued support, and I look forward to seeing you at the NYC fundraiser tonight or out on the campaign trail.
I'm posting this here because as a Group Host missing in action I've been very busy in my district - but know you guys will "get it". It won't sink to the bottom.
We have a young man of Indian descent getting the KKK treatment for having the gall to stand up for the last and the least.
At a Town Hall a few weeks ago where I continued to hammer him on civil rights issues - he jutted out his chin and punched back with: you are right.
Inspired by Obama - he agrees with me . . . The civil rights movement is not in the past. We are just getting started here folks.
This IS America. The North East. New Jersey. This shit is everywhere.
