Positions on Current National and New Jersey Issues:
Ted: Ted Glick takes action
to fight injustice:
As a college student in 1969, Ted Glick left
school after two years to work
full-time against the Vietnam war and the military draft. When President Richard Nixon tried to obstruct
the investigation of the Watergate hotel break-in in 1974, he co-founded and was a National Coordinator of the National Committee
to Impeach Nixon.
As he came to realize the deep-seated problems
with both the Republican and
Democratic parties, he became involved in efforts to form an alternative
to them. 25 years later he is the National Coordinator of the
Independent Progressive Politics Network and a nationally-known third
party proponent.
When a big bucks corporation announced plans for
a huge, big-business-oriented development
close to his home in 1985, he founded and was a co-chair
until 1995 of a community coalition of churches, elected officials,
neighborhood associations and small business owners that brought about
changes in the original plans.
When several young people in his neighborhood
were hit by bullet fragments
fired by a Bloomfield police officer in 1999,
he played and continues to play a leading role in efforts to reform
police training and practices to decrease the chances of this happening
again.
And when neighbors in Bloomfield organized
themselves in 2000 to prevent
the construction of 160 townhouse condominiums on a toxic waste flood
plain close to their homes,
Ted Glick joined in and has been consistently involved ever since.
Ted Glick doesn't believe in griping and
complaining; he believes in joining
together with others to change things for the better.
