My name is Ethel Hermenau, and I am a resident of Galloway NJ, my opinions are as a mother, Grandmother and citizen of the United States of America. I am on the school board in Galloway, but I am not representing them in this article these opinions are mine and do not represent the Galloway school board or Liberty and Prosperity.
The Election is imminent. Many individuals are fervently hoping that Jack Ciattarelli will be elected as Governor for numerous reasons. Naturally, many of us are also participating in this Election to restore New Jersey with common sense and Godly principles. It is challenging for me to understand how anyone could consider voting for a Democrat again after witnessing the lengths to which our Governor Phil Murphy has gone to enforce policies that leave many people in shock, and let us not overlook the fact that during Covid, many were left to die in isolation! This must never be forgotten!
Whether it concerns abortion up to birth, the allocation of taxpayer funds to individuals arriving in New Jersey seeking a free abortion under “The Reproductive Freedom Act,” Sanctuary State Status, the Freedom to Read Act, the use of the Attorney General against pro-life pregnancy centers and school boards, or the advocacy for windmills and electric vehicles, along with increased taxes, school funding formulas that are leading to the bankruptcy of certain schools like Toms River, and job losses for educators, the array of harmful legislation impacting New Jersey residents is unending. The number of bills passed by this Administration is so extensive that it is challenging to keep track.
I am confident that during the lame duck session, once Jack Ciattarelli secures victory, we can expect more alarming bills to be rushed through at the last minute. Governor Murphy has repeatedly demonstrated his desire to govern as a monarch while masquerading it as service to us, his subjects.
One might assume that Governor Murphy has close connections to the CCP. A recent article mentions the CCP donating $45,000 to Rep. Mikie Sherill, and they undoubtedly have numerous connections to the Democratic Party, a party that has compromised America for foreign interests and forgotten their own people.
NJ Democratic nominee took donations from CCP-linked auto executives
One thing we can all do is vote RED all the way down the ballot but there is on group of candidates that no one can tell what side they are on unless you go to school board meetings and read the policies your schools are passing. If you haven’t been paying attention, the Attorney General sued a few different schools over them repealing 5756. “New Jersey Attorney General Matt Platkin sued school districts that wanted to change the state’s policy that schools were not obligated to tell parents if their children had social transitioned at school. It was later revealed that policy, wasn’t mandatory.” Common sense prevails in New Jersey as school districts allowed to drop trans student policy after years-long fight
“This is an overdue victory for parental rights and against government overreach,” Middletown Board of Education Vice President Jacqueline Tobacco told The Post. “It’s been a long drawn out waste of everyone’s time.”
There are so many stories of unjust treatment by this State’s leaders such as one example: NJ parents sued for speaking out against sexualized books for kids
below is the video they made for our Last Stand over 2 years ago.
Roxbury NJ Parents & School Board Members Sued For Questioning Pornography in School Library
New Jersey parents Christina Balestriere and Kristen Cobo discuss being sued by a school librarian for speaking out against ‘inappropriate books’ on ‘Jesse Watters Primetime.’ A pair of New Jersey moms being sued by a school librarian for voicing concerns about sexually explicit books in their school library said they will not succumb to “scare” tactics and encouraged other parents to join them in speaking out.
Kristen Cobo and Christina Balestriere of Roxbury, New Jersey, are among the parents at the center of the defamation suit filed by the school librarian at their children’s high school.
GOOD NEWS on 10/3/25! Judge Tosses Lawsuit Brought by Roxbury High School Librarian Against Parents Over Books | Roxbury, NJ News TAPinto | TAPinto
ROXBURY, NJ – A defamation lawsuit filed by the Roxbury High School librarian against the parents who criticized her inclusion in the library of sexually explicit books was dismissed Friday (Oct. 3) by a judge, according to a lawyer involved in the case. State Superior Court Judge Jonathan Romankow granted summary judgment in favor of the mothers, Kristen Cobo and Christina Balestriere, who were among those sued by librarian Roxana Caivano, said attorney John Coyle, who represents the defendants.
Certainly, that was merely one illustration among numerous others; however, while many school boards choose to ignore the issues at hand, there are individuals who have advocated for righteousness, alongside many others who aspire to do so but are hindered by the majority. Also, there are many school boards that have repealed 5756 and I give them many thanks for their courage and their integrity!
However, there are 21 counties and over 580 school boards and only a small percentage has been bold enough to do the right thing and probably for fear of being sued by the State. I urge you to participate in the voting process for the November 2025 Election! The future generations of children are counting on you.
When you go to cast your vote, seek out school board members who are prepared to address all your inquiries with honesty. You can go right to the schools website and get all their policies in place. If 5756 or other policies you do not like are in effect, you will have your answer. It is difficult to get much accomplished when the marjority votes the way they are told and refuse to fight back.
I have observed that some candidates employ appealing slogans, such as in Galloway, NJ, where their mantra is “Kids, Families, and Communities.” However, voters should be cautious and examine their voting records. When I attempted to have them repeal 5756, these same candidates opposed my motion to REPEAL 5756. If they support keeping secrets from parents, how can they claim to be advocating for families? Oh, that’s right, they are not; it merely sounds appealing, and for those who are unaware—unfortunately, that is most people—they will vote for what appears attractive.
This illustrates how the opposing side has successfully misled numerous individuals in the past until they come to the realization of being deceived. I strongly encourage you to examine the policies that have been implemented and to scrutinize their justification. Attend school board meetings and engage actively.
Furthermore, I have not even addressed the issue that if you express a viewpoint contrary to the opposing side, they are quick to label you as someone who promotes hate speech (simply because you disagree with them). Naturally, if we do not take action to halt this now, that is precisely the direction in which we are heading (consider the situation in the UK and the number of individuals arrested for what is termed hate speech). We must take a stand now to safeguard Freedom of Speech!
Vote for Pastor Gene Wilkins and Reny Fishman for the school board in Galloway if you desire God-fearing parents and grandparents in leadership positions, rather than puppets who consistently vote in accordance with the directives of the NJEA or the State. Naturally, this is merely my perspective—not as a school board member, but as a mother, grandmother, and citizen, which is my right.
Additionally, cast your vote for Liz Nicoletti, Catherine Panico, and Robin Schaffer for the school board in Ocean City.
Its time to protect parents, children and families and that is truly up to YOU!
It is clear that we all desire change, and regardless of its form, we must hold onto the hope that it is achievable and that God is advocating for us in this struggle. I firmly believe that Jack Ciattarelli will be our next Governor, and he will rectify many injustices inflicted upon the citizens of New Jersey by the current administration. Stay engaged in this fight to help Jack and win this fight for the future of NJ.
In his opening address to Congress in January 2021, Senator Raphael Warnock from Georgia said, “We believe democracy is the political enactment of a spiritual idea – that we are all children of God and therefore, we ought all to have a voice in the direction of our country and our destiny within it. Democracy honors the sacred worth of all human beings, the notion that we all have within us a spark of the divine, to participate in the shaping of our own destiny. The right to vote is a sacred right.”
I felt it necessary to include this point as it holds significant importance. The foremost action we ought to undertake is to pray, not only for our families but also for the State of New Jersey and its leadership! The Bible instructs us to pray for our leaders. However, the individuals we choose to vote for reflects our own values just as much as it does theirs. Proverbs 29:2 “When the righteous thrive, the people rejoice; when the wicked rule, the people groan.”
VOTE – NOVEMBER 4TH, 2025 AND GET OTHERS TO VOTE! DON’T STAY HOME OUR GOVERNOR HAS MORE POWER THAN MOST STATES! I pray God will hear our prayers and heal our land and help us elect Jack Ciattarelli. IT’S TIME! #JACK4NJ
