Earl Gray for Congress in NJ's 6th District

Earl Gray wants to replace the current Corporate Culture of Greed with a Culture of Justice which will restore our Democracy, put a human face on our economics, and, as our Constitution requires, "bind our nation more closely together... establish justice... and promote the general welfare."  Dr. Gray has a Ph.D. in American and European History of Ideas.  He has earned his living in a variety of positions:  college teaching; technical writing, factory work and truck driving!  

Since his retirement from Concurrent Computer Corporation in 1991, he has spent a decade in volunteer work.  He was Secretary to and a member of the Board of Directors of the Red Bank soup kitchen, "Lunch Break" for several years.  He then became the 2nd President of a spin-off of that organization, Habcore, a non-profit, low-income housing advocacy group, as well as the resident manager of NJ's first non-profit, fully-licensed Boarding House for homeless individuals.  He was a founding member of the Green Party of NJ, and is currently the Secretary for the N.J. Green State Committee.
