Joe Kyrillos is a peoples person, when you call his office for help , he will answer and help. This is what we need , not the Menendez type, when you write to him about an issue, he has his STAFF answer ,with a very evasive sort of push you off. Vote out his type.

Yeah, I'm sure Kyrillos kisses babies and helps dogs give birth to puppies in his free time too. Any politician (especially a GOP member) who is critical of an opponent getting donations from oil, banks, and Wall Street seems pretty hypocritical. There was just a recent article about Goldman Sachs spending insane amounts on another one of Christie's cronies....Romney. So, spare me because I'm sure Joe the GOP faithful isn't getting a single penny himself from any oil, bank, or Wall Street in the millions he's already had donated and had his governor pass around the donation basket for. I'm looking for somebody good to vote for each year and we seem to just keep getting lower and lower in our candidates. Just let Kyrillos keep making stupid statements like this and he will be making Mendez's campaign even easier. Between Christie and his "Corzine Democrats" title, and now this guy referring to Corzine again, it's a pretty big weakness to focus on other previous politicians who were pathetic just to make yourself look better. Corzine was a sucky, pathetic loser of a governor...that doesn't mean any politician, GOP or Democrat is actually any good just because they're using Corzine litmus. If this is the way Kyrillos' campaign is going to go you might as well just take those millions of dollars (that don't come from oil, banks, or Wall St.) and donate them to a good charitable cause, because he seems like a typical clown politician.

I meant CAN

Mr. Kyrillos,

I hardly know thee. I know you have been around a while, but I was just brought into your district this last election and never really got to know much about you then and I still don't know much about you now.

Rather than put down the incumbent for his accomplishments (or lack thereof), why don't you tell us what you would do differently to effect needed change? I realize you are just one person, but don't reiterate the political spin that's going on and come up with much needed independent thought. THAT'S why I need to convince me to vote for you (or anyone else, for that matter).

Thank you,
A newly added constituent

Is there a real difference between Kyrillos and Menendez other than their party affiliation? Menendez is the American patron saint of illegals in the Senate of the USA. Even Menendez boasts that no other American senator has done more for the illegals than himself. I tried to find Kyrillos stance on illegal immigrants but he has not said one word. Why is he avoiding the question? What is he hiding?

Things are so bad that our government (USDA) is running commercials in Spanish urging illegal immigrants to apply for food stamps. They do not run any commercials in ENGLISH URGING CITIZENS to apply for food stamps. I am positive if I illegally immigrated (or even legally) to Mexico the Mexican government would not be giving me food stamps. Why are we giving food stamps to illegals?

http://dailycaller.com/2012/07/12/usda-uses-spanish-soap-operas-to-push-food-stamp-participation-among-non-citizens-citizens/

Folks, American citizens are almost second class in our own country. I am tired of hearing the old nonsense that all illegals only contribute to this country. I will not even go into the drug trafficking and gang violence by illegals.

If Kyrillos says he is the alternative to Menendez, what is his position on illegals?

Chapin, pound the airwaves radio and tv with ads, ESP short and to the point liners. Kyrillos can win this!

Joe Kyrillos accepted money from convicted fraudster Salomon Dwek. I like to know what was the quid pro quo??? Joe Kyrillos, also remained silent on the below pension fraud that took place here in Monmouth County ( see hyperlink below)---not a damn peep out of him. Why?? Because it was his friend Kim Guadagno??? Shame on you Joe; however, you did vote against public workers (cops, fireman, teachers, etc) by having them pay more towards their pensions and healthcare. Do you pay more for your state provided healthcare??

Your morals and ethics are non-existent!!! We don't need you to represent the state. Matter of fact, I don't want you to represent my district anymore. Joe must go!!!

The funny thing is I will not vote for Menendez or Kyrillos .......None of the above on this race .

For the second time I e mailed the Senator and he has not e mailed me back, even though I have received confirmation that the message was read. So how will he do if elected to the Senate of the U.S., if he cannot respond to a local question that was asked of him.

Ric,
I am not a Menendez supporter. I am one disgusted Republican---I am disgusted at those who failed to say something in there own county when it was wrong. If Kyrillos can't say or do something thats in his own home county, how can I or you expect to Joe to do the right thing on the state level in Washington. I am not blind--I see quite a bit! As for being ashamed...I'm ashamed at the Republicans right here in Monmouth County. This is the county (Monmouth) that brought you Operation Bid Rig (parts 1,2,3); Corruption at Brookdale CC and of course the pension fraud at the Monmouth County Sheriff's Department---again, what did Joe say??? Thats all I ask. I was brought up when you see something (wrong), you say or do something about it. Like previously said, his ethics and morals truly trouble me.

But thanks for being concerned.

Kyrillos is quite simply a puppet of the Rove / Koch Bros machine. He has supported every policy that got this country in the mess it's in today. If you really believe in a two class system where 1% control 90% of the wealth than vote for Joe. If you're hanging by your finger tips to cling to the American middle class dream than don't. It's pretty simple.

Google Bob Menendez Voting Record. Take ten minutes to see how he voted on issues important to you.

Robert Menendez is the poster boy for the sleazy, dirtbag, pay to play politics that has NJ with the most corrupt state government and highest taxes in the nation. I would vote for anyone other than that creep or his buddy, the cadaver, Frank Loutenberg. Can someone please give us a break from these two sleazeoids. I guess it could have been worse, Torricelli could have been re-elected...

Kyrillos has no shot. Once the unions put out their decree to the membership Menendez wins hands down. Look what they did when Torricelli was losing his race they switched in the walking dead Lautenberg and then re-elected him. We are stuck with this hand picked Corzine replacement because the electorate in this state are lambs being lead by their union bosses.

@So Much to Say

You must not have read anything because there's at least a hundred important votes dealing with education, crime, the economy etc.

You are obviously fearful of non-whites. I pity your kind. Either join the planet or move to a bunker in Montana. This is America, and when my Italian ancestors arrived your ancestors probably spit on them.

I have no time for your hate. I'm about progress.

To the fear mongers:

John Smith started the first flood of "illegal" immigration in 1607. Not everybody came through Ellis Island and if you read your history, most of the southwest was Mexican.

When my family came to America most, but not all, were legal. Some young italians jumped ship before landing in Ellis Island. They were called WOP (with out papers).

I do not support illegal immigration. I am merely pointing out facts to ease the hateful, fear mongers that thrive on this site.

Another lie by this guy: http://www.politifact.com/new-jersey/statements/2012/jul/15/joseph-kyrillos/joe-kyrillos-claims-united-states-not-producing-jo/

The Party of No nominated Joe, and millionaires donate dough.
The 99% and common sense will prevail.

A total waste of money. Campaign funds are donated, but as the saying goes, nothing is free, and those who donate expect favors in return, from jobs to contracts to passing laws. From the President, to the Governors, right on down to our locals. It's crazy, but it's the only way for a politician to rise to the top these days. Strict Campaign contributions laws need to be passed. All contributions should go into one fund and be divided equally between all registered candidates. As far as illegal immigrants, I agree with Ric 100% on every single word he posted on that topic. We must fix ourselves before we can help others.

Let's give Christie a Legislature he can work with. Vote to improve New Jersey.

To ALL of you that posted..& even ones that didn't ..ANY opinions that you may have, especially ones that want "Progress" You really Should base your opinions on this :
