Stick Together

A "Wireside Chat" from Chairman Adam Puharic
10/8/2006

I heard a great story from Lake Como Mayor Larry Chiaravallo. I thought tonight would be the right time to share it with all of you:

There was a father with eight sons who were always fighting each other. He wanted to teach them a lesson. One day, he called them together. First, he handed eight sticks – one – to each of them. He instructed them to break the sticks over their knee. They promptly complied. Then he handed them eight sticks bound tightly together. “Break them now,” he requested. They could not. “Do you know what the lesson is?” he asked.

Do you?

Today’s Asbury Park Press articles, printed 31 days before the election, and with no “news” that prompted their creation, remind me of this story. If we trust in Republican government, and I do, look for the Freeholders to respond to this in a fair environment. If we trust in our candidates, and the promise of this convention system that brought new faces and fresh ideas forward – stick together. You have 31 days to elect Rosemarie Peters, Andrew Lucas and Freeholder Anna Little. If you are waiting for the Chairman to do this, we will not be successful. If you are waiting for the candidates to do this, they will have a long road ahead of them.

We have one month. The Monmouth County Republican Party is a winning organization, not because of a chairman or any one of our outstanding candidates. We are a winning organization because people like you volunteer, year in and year out, to bring our candidates to victory.

Are you a stick or a bundle?
