Monmouth County, NJ: Lake Assunpink
While Lake Assunpink is a big fishing spot in New Jersey, I believe it is much more than that. I was taken here by a friend and was mesmerized by how beautiful this lake was. At the time, half of the lake was completely frozen, but the sunset reflecting on the water was breathtakingly beautiful. A picture will never do justice to how wonderful this place is, but while I had my phone on me, I figured I would try to capture a piece of this beauty to have with me always.

New Jersey state senator John A. Girgenti, the leading Democratic opponent of marriage equality, lost almost 75% of his town committee members in Tuesday’s election. Gay advocates, stung by the defeat of the marriage equality bill this year, won the seats in the northern part of the state.
According to the Bergen Record, “In the Passaic County borough of Hawthorne, a major coup occurred. Democratic state Sen. John A. Girgenti was walloped in his home town. He was backing a 26-person slate for Hawthorne Democratic Committee; 19 of his people were defeated. The big winner was Jeff Gardner, a vice chairman of Garden State Equality. His slate won the 19 seats.”
Gardner attributed his win not to the marriage equality issue, but to the fact that voters view Girgenti as out of touch. Even so, the veteran politician’s loss could presage an election defeat in 2011, the year that marriage equality advocates pledged to target Girgenti, according to the Record.
