Worthwhile Endeavor

Jerry Cave — Thu, 04 Nov 2010 17:22:35 +0100

Dear Supporters,

Yesterday, an eighty-year old woman emerged from a voting booth at the Little Flower Parish Hall. She looked at me, as she struggled with her walker, and said, “I came out and voted because of you.”

At that moment I knew we had won something very important. She did not come out to vote for me. She came out to vote for the ideas all of us worked so hard to make a part of this campaign. The effort for her to cast her vote was not insignificant, given her...

I’m Marc Klaas an advocate for Jessica’s Law and father of a victim. I understand Brian Frosh is telling you that he supported Jessica’s Law. That’s simply not true. Frosh has been the biggest opponent. He treated the victims in a demeaning manner. Everything you read in Remember in November magazine is true. Re-electing Frosh is unthinkable. Please vote for Jerry Cave.

Response to an email that said they thought my magazine was too negative.

Jerry Cave — Thu, 28 Oct 2010 07:54:34 +0100

Informative is not negative. Did you read it? ( Click here to Read )

Ask yourself these questions.

Why would advocates (victims and victims families) who have turned their anguish into a passion for protecting other people's children, people who should be treated with the most consideration not the least, why would they lie about Brian Frosh's opposition to Jessica's Law and why would they ...

Fair Funding

Montgomery County does not get a fair share of state funding and simply can not afford to have this continue.

What's Fair

Jerry Cave — Fri, 01 Oct 2010 05:00:00 +0100

What's Fair

I had breakfast this morning with a democrat who was concerned that my platform is not fair to the rest of the state. We agreed that the concept was proportion. We send 1/3rd more taxes to Maryland and receive back 1/3rd less allocation from the the state. I think is unfair and causes the traffic nightmare and trailer nightmare and the taxes defect nightmare. She was not comfortable with my position in spite of the fact that that she felt I was as right. It just comes down ...

CASH REGISTER - Property taxes

CASH REGISTER - Property taxes

THINGS ARE NOT ALWAYS AS THEY APPEAR.
THIS IS NOT REALLY A SPEED TRAP, THIS IS NOT REALLY A PARKING METER AND THIS IS NOT REALLY A HOUSE. TO THE INCUMBENTS WHO HAVE CREATED AN HIGH TAXES, AND HIGH DEFICITS - THESE THINGS ARE CASH REGISTERS. THEY USE THEM TO GET MORE OF YOUR MONEY - WITHOUT LOOKING LIKE THEY ARE GETTING MORE OF YOUR MONEY. AFTER THIS ELECTION IS OVER THEY WILBE FREE TO THEN RAISE TAXES AND FIND STILL MORE CASH REGISTERS...

THE POTOMAC IS THE WIDEST RIVER IN AMERICA

Jerry Cave — Wed, 22 Sep 2010 05:00:00 +0100

THE WIDEST RIVER IN AMERICA

THE POTOMAC IS THE WIDEST RIVER IN AMERICA. IT SEPARATES MARYLAND FROM REALITY.

VIRGINIA HAS A REALISTIC TAX CODE THAT ATTRACTS BUSINESS. MARYLAND HAS AN UNREALISTIC TAX CODE THAT REPELS BUSINESS. VIRGINIA’S LOWER TAXES PRODUCED A 400 MILLION SURPLUS IN FAIRFAX. MARYLAND’S HIGH TAXES PRODUCED A BILLION DEFICIT IN MONTGOMERY. THIS HURTS US THE MOST BECAUSE ANY BUSINESS HERE CAN EASILY BE THERE.
THAT&rsq...

Glen Echo: Who does #2 work for?

Jerry Cave — Mon, 20 Sep 2010 17:05:47 +0100

I LOVE GLEN ECHO. I COME HERE ALL THE TIME WITH FAMILY. I HAVE SPENT MY FUNDS TO PROMOTE GLEN ECHO IN MY MAGAZINE, WASHINGTON HOME AND GARDEN.

MY OPPONENT, BRIAN FROSH, LISTED HIS EFFORT TO GET STATE FUNDS FOR GLEN ECHO AS ONE OF HIS MAJOR ACCOMPLISHMENT IN HIS 23 YEARS IN OFFICE. THAT WOULD BE IMPRESSIVE - EXCEPT, IN THE TIME PERIOD, THE STATE BUILT BALTIMORE A NEW 220 MILLION DOLLAR FOOTBALL STADIUM... LET ME SEE… IN BETHESDA ….BECAUSE THERE&r...

Letter from Angry Democrat

Jerry Cave — Wed, 15 Sep 2010 23:01:57 +0100

Jerry,

After viewing your video from the local elementary school, I wanted to tell you that I am also angry at what's happening to our community. As a lifelong resident of Montgomery County, I have seen the quality of life slip in ways that are to me, very disheartening. While I still think it's the best place to live in our region, I see the potential for further erosion of our schools, our roads, crime rates, and public services resulting from the current County deficit and the bias ...

Maryland's ATM

Jerry Cave — Mon, 13 Sep 2010 05:00:00 +0100

I wanted to see where are money went in Maryland so I went to Annapolis to see one of the big wigs. He said Boy are you from Montgomery County? I said yes indeed I am. So he pulled out his debit card and swiped it between my ear and my temple then punched his pin number in my forehead. I said what the heck are you doing? He said Boy you are from Montgomery County. That’s where we get all our money!” Yes that is ridiculous. We can stop being the ATM machine for the State...

Angry Democrat

Jerry Cave — Thu, 09 Sep 2010 05:00:00 +0100

We were just about finished shooting video at Woodacres school when an angry Democrat came up and proclaimed that any incumbent in Montgomery County should be ashamed to run for re-election. I explained that I was as not an incumbent and that the election of an independent moderate republican on the platform to treat our county fairly would get the money we need to fix this. I asked him could he votes the issues and not just party affiliation and he said yes! Form more ...

Jerry Cave on Education

Jerry Cave — Tue, 07 Sep 2010 16:38:53 +0100

Montgomery county students are underfunded from the state of Maryland by 2200 per student per year! This is causing overcrowding in the classrooms and our students are taking classes in trailers not classrooms. Wood Acres School has 5 trailers and they needed to add 3 more but there was only room for two. The school has capacity for 500 students yet 728 are enrolled. The solution to his problem is simple. We need to be funded at the same rate as every other county in Ma...

ICC - The Intercounty Connector

Jerry Cave — Tue, 07 Sep 2010 16:26:01 +0100

They’re going to start giving cars stopped on the Beltway around Bethesda a $45 parking ticket because you cannot park on an Interstate, even if it’s not your fault. Now they’ve never done this before, but here’s the reason they are doing it now; the Inter County Connector will be finished soon, but the rush hour round trip toll is going to be over $11.00. So someone came up with the idea to first give everyone a ticket for parking on the Beltway so that they would thi...

Glen Echo

Jerry Cave — Tue, 07 Sep 2010 16:14:43 +0100

I love Glen Echo Park! I enjoyed it with my parents and my children. I supported Glen Echo by covering the park’s features in my magazine, Washington Home and Garden. My opponent, the incumbent Brian Frosh, likes and supports it too. He listed his effort to get funding from the state of Maryland for Glen Echo Park as one of his major accomplishment in his 23 years in the Maryland legislature. That might be impressive except that during the same time period Baltimore got state funding fo...

Jerry Cave Maryland Senate District 16

Jerry Cave — Fri, 03 Sep 2010 23:51:48 +0100

Why is the county that finances the rest of state the only one to have a $1 billion deficit? Our tax money goes to Annapolis and then never finds its way back home.
We need a representative in Annapolis who will fight for the interests of Montgomery County and not Baltimore.
These deficits are projected to continue through 2015. The looming Tax Tsunami will be disastrous for Montgomery County’s schools, businesses and our quality of life.
We need new leadership in the Mar...

Jerry Cave's Vision for Maryland

Cave for Senate — Tue, 10 Aug 2010 19:40:13 +0100

My vision includes advocating and funding adequate transportation so that we are not sitting in our cars for hours everyday in the 4th worst traffic (county) in America. My vision includes getting our fair share of state revenue so we can adequately fund our needs without causing a billion dollar deficit. Getting our fair share of state funding is essential to solving the over crowded conditions on our roads and the over crowding in our classrooms. We need to get our children out of tra...

Bethesda Naval 7 months ahead of schedule, Bethesda Traffic not ready!

Jerry Cave — Mon, 26 Jul 2010 21:05:10 +0100

Good news for our Wounded Warriors and bad news for Bethesda Traffic. The good people at Clark Construction appear to be 7 months ahead of schedule towards consolidating Walter Reed wounded veterans into Bethesda Naval. This appears to be more than just a highly efficient effort. It is highly motivating to help our wounded veterans get better digs to recuperate from their wounds. Bravo Boys! Great JOB! Maryland, however, has let down its good citizens in Bethesda yet...

Finally a sensible Energy Solution - www.CaveForSenate.com

Finally a sensible Energy Solution

One of our very own community leaders explained the sensible nature of ethanol vehicles. They cost no more than any other vehicle and use 85%/15% ethanol gas mixture. The ethanol is made right here in the USA with American crops and American labor keeping these energy dollars in our country instead of shipping them oversees. This is a solution that works! Some other solutions that sound great are so ...
