The following letter to the editor was written by Livingston resident Mark Dunec. A few weeks ago, I wrote to express frustration with Congress’s failure to enact common sense gun control measures to prevent the senseless violence that plagues our nation. I particularly singled out Congressman Rodney Frelinghuysen for once again failing to represent this District. Since that time, the Senate failed to pass a simple background check law and instead moved on to other business. Like other tragedies before it, Sandy Hook will pass from our collective memories and our government will have failed to act.

Frelinghuysen serves the newly-redistricted eleventh district, which includes 54 municipalities including communities in Morris, Sussex, Passaic, and Essex counties — including Montclair. Frelinghuysen told students that he spends weeks in Washington D.C., and weekends in New Jersey, traveling throughout his district. One of his goals, said Frelinghuysen, is "to put a human face on Congress." He noted that many citizens speak of Congress as a body, without knowing their representatives and how their interests are served. Students …

Thank you for addressing this issue. I too am curious and no response is..... A response. Many years from now we will look back at this point in history and ask, who could have possibly been against gay rights? Similar to slavery. Frelinghuysen, where do you stand? more ›
