You link to a blog that continually impersonates people, including a Catholic priest, and makes pedophilic attacks at him. You link to a blogger whose antics have led to a conviction for criminal harassment. How can you link to these sources of intolerance and hate? <br /><br />Do the right thing and remove the link to a media source that promotes hate.Bernie O'Harehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13756311150988957401noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3544796841305338513.post-90348819988313297612009-05-08T19:04:00.000-04:002009-05-08T19:04:00.000-04:00Not a great time of day!Not a great time of day!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16410832475919247800noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3544796841305338513.post-79773038367994206422009-04-25T21:36:00.000-04:002009-04-25T21:36:00.000-04:00I called Bob Freeman's office a couple of years ag...I called Bob Freeman's office a couple of years ago and asked what I could do as a private citizen to help secure rail service to the Valley and never heard back from him.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16410832475919247800noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3544796841305338513.post-87002363166539219072009-03-22T14:57:00.000-04:002009-03-22T14:57:00.000-04:00just found the site, but completely support the id...just found the site, but completely support the ideas... rail is much needed in the LV, especially to NYC...

I am hoping that this will be the same for us PA folks if it gets approved. We are in desperate need of another option to get to/from NYC from the Valley. I definitely do not want to drive to work, and personally, although the bus is very convenient and reliable, I am ready to make the switch to a rail line. If not for me, then for the future generation.<BR/><BR/>Joe RappaAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02415623169198487257noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3544796841305338513.post-72281729451211256562008-08-19T09:31:00.000-04:002008-08-19T09:31:00.000-04:00I have known Paul Marin for over 30 years, but hav...I have known Paul Marin for over 30 years, but have not seen him in more than 20. While growing up together, he was the one guy that always had this passion for business and getting things done. This LV to NYC Commuter rail line that he is pushing for is something that I look forward to as well, and has reunited us once again.<BR/><BR/>I will also be attending this meeting on 8/28/08 @7pm at the Lehigh Valley Planning Commission with Marcel, and several other fellow commuters to back him on this project. I am sure Paul Marin, Bill Green and their team will succeed and wish them the very best of luck.
