Shortchanged
Re: "Error cited in loss of funding" (C-P, Aug. 26).

Preserving rights
Re: "Don't confuse mosque plans with terrorism" (editorial, Aug. 21).

Do job
Police must protect the public and their jobs. Having family and friends on the job, I know writing tickets is low on their priorities as is court, but this is their job.

Exploited
In a recent letter, a candidate for representative of New Jersey's 1st District stated that "many Americans" were "in disbelief" at President Barack Obama's remarks regarding the Park51 Islamic Center in Lower Manhattan.

Give him credit
Re: "Monitor approved for Glouco lawsuit" (C-P, July 28).

Safety measures
I've watched the Baja races on TV and seen spectators close enough to the race course to touch the race vehicles as they go screaming by at high speed.

New Jersey can take steps to encourage job creation
Labor Day is a celebration of working people everywhere. It recognizes what the middle class has built and the power of our shared vision.

Cash cow
Thank you, Assemblyman Domenick DiCicco, for wanting a full audit of the Delaware River Port Authority. The residents that rely on the bridges and PATCO need people like you to uncover the wasteful spending in bureaucracies like this one.

Civil service
Re: "Untie the hands of town managers" (editorial, Aug. 19).

Clean Air Act
Re: "Think this summer is hot? Get used to it" (C-P, Aug. 11).

Social Security
In today's politically correct society, groupthink has become de rigueur. Posit the Social Security dilemma.

Economy has stung working class families in New Jersey
The New Jersey labor movement commemorates Labor Day 2010 with a focus on one of our country's most pressing issues: jobs. Since the recession began, approximately 10 million jobs were lost; New Jersey's unemployment rate was last reported at 9.

Help wanted: new education commissioner
As the dust settles on the tenure of Bret Schundler, Chris Christie should be looking for a replacement with a proven track record in education, rather than a political resume.

Religious freedom must extend to all
President Barack Obama's remarks supporting the right to build a mosque near ground zero reverberated across the country, nationalizing a passionate debate over the project.

Site near attack is simply in poor taste
The proposed building of a mosque/Islamic cultural center near ground zero in Manhattan has engendered vociferous debate from extremists on both sides of the issue.

South Jerseyans can make a difference
Over the past year, a movement has been growing throughout New Jersey -- a movement for civic and fiscal responsibility.

Cut
Re: "Waffler" (letters, Aug. 13)

Only women?
The editorial cartoon from the Aug. 5 Opinion page (shown above) was an interesting comment on Gov. Chris Christie's attitude toward females.

Thanks
On Aug. 22 my car skidded on the wet roadway ramp leading onto Interstate 295. My car was disabled.

Inappropriate
Any person who has been educated past the fifth grade knows Muslims have the constitutional right to build a mosque at ground zero. However, what is legal isn't always what is appropriate.

Location
This is in regards to the dispute over allowing Muslims to build a mosque two blocks from ground zero.

King Christie
As our governor continues his destruction of the public school system and pension system -- that will not be funded again by our elected officials this year -- he has again made his word the law of the land.

St. Anne's
I've been a parishioner of St. Anne's Church in Westville for 47 years. We at St. Anne's do a lot here for the poor. We provided food for the needy families. Our food pantry provides food for the everyday meals as well as the holidays.

No response
I am a senior citizen and had several issues with Medicare. I contacted several members of Congress by fax, phone and e-mail about nine months ago. All were accessible and responded except the office of U.S. Sen. Robert Menendez, D-N.J.

Best person
The banking industry needs government oversight. The Bush administration started us toward recession by its overspending and undertaxing.

Balancing the federal budget means making some cuts
Before you read this I recommend you ingest whatever substance calms you, be it a glass of wine or a mild pharmaceutical. My words will disturb you.

Bad dancing
When did "Dancing with the Stars" become a show about the personal life of its so-called celebrity hosts -- they are vastly overpaid for what they do. The show is supposedly about the performers and their ability on the dance floor.
