Charles Axel Poekel, Jr. (Born 1948) is an American Republican Party politician, author and lawyer. He was the Republican candidate for the U.S. House of Representatives in 1976, but was defeated by the Democratic incumbent, Rep. Joseph Minish.
Poekel is the author of Babe & the Kid (The History Press, 2007), following the story of Johnny Sylvester, the young New Jersey boy who was visited in the hospital by baseball legend Babe Ruth on the eve of the 1926 World Series. Ruth famously promised to hit a home run for Sylvester, who made a miraculous recovery. Poekel's book follows Sylvester's life. Julia Ruth Stevens, Ruth's daughter, wrote the forward.
He is the son of Charles A. Poekel and Alice Lester Poekel, who ran a real estate and travel company in Verona, New Jersey. He became active in politics at a young age, serving as Chairman of the New Jersey Teenage Republican (TAR) Federation and the Essex County Young Republicans. He is a graduate of The George Washington University and American University Law School.
In 1976, at age 28, Poekel ran for Congress in the 11th congressional district of New Jersey. He won the endorsement of the Essex County Republican Committee and was unopposed in the Republican primary.
Poekel mounted an underdog campaign against Minish, an entrenched seven-term incumbent and former labor leader. He criticized Minish for his "lack of leadership" and for his vote on a 1975 bill that gave automatic cost-of-living increases to Congressmen. Poekel spent about $10,000, raised mostly in $5 and $10 contributions from family and friends; Minish spent about $100,000.
In the general election, he was defeated by Minish by a 68%-32% margin, 129,026 to 59,397.
In 1977, incumbent Republican Assemblyman John N. Dennis was giving up his seat to run for the State Senate in the 27th legislative district. Poekel was one of four candidates to seek the two Assembly seats in that district. The Essex County Republican Committee backed incumbent Carl Orechio and attorney Roger Toner to run on an organization ticket headed by Assembly Minority Leader Thomas Kean, who was running for Governor. Poekel ran on a ticket headed by another gubernatorial candidate, State Senator Raymond Bateman. Although Bateman beat Kean in the statewide gubernatorial primary, he carried his home county of Essex; Poekel finished third, and his running mate, Vincent M. Iannuzzelli, finished fourth.
From 1974 to 2000, Poekel ran his own law firm in Verona. He joined the New York District Council of Carpenters Benefit Fund in 2000, and became the Director of the United Service Workers Union (USWU) Local 74 Legal Fund in 2005. Since 2009, he has been the USWU Local 74 Benefit Fund administrator.
In 2009, Poekel was selected to present a paper on Babe Ruth and children at the 2009 Cooperstown Symposium on Baseball and American Culture at the National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum.
Poekel is also the author of West Essex, Essex Fells, Fairfield, North Caldwell and Roseland (Images of New Jersey, 1999). He served as Chairman of the Essex Fells Historical Committee.

Not Just A Bond: A Bond With Israel, published October 18, 2010 by Talpiot Press, is a historical account of the founding, growth and expansion of the Development Corporation for Israel/State of Israel Bonds operation, which today is a global enterprise with cumulative worldwide sales exceeding [http://www.israelbonds.com/israelbonds/getdoc/98aef855-4dd7-447f-8569-2c781d85d2a1/about_us.aspx $32.4 billion].
In his foreword to the book, President Shimon Peres calls the creation of Israel Bonds “a vital chapter in Israel’s history.”
Authors
The book, commemorating the 60th anniversary of the founding of Israel Bonds, was authored by husband and wife writing team Deborah and Gerald Strober. The Strobers, who have collaborated on nine previous occasions, conducted dozens of interviews in preparation for the book.
Subject
Not Just A Bond: A Bond With Israel chronicles the development of the Bonds organization, starting with its uncertain beginnings at a September, 1950 conference convened by Prime Minister David Ben-Gurion at Jerusalem’s King David Hotel. At the time, write the Strobers, there was considerable skepticism regarding the viability of creating an organization to facilitate the sale of Israeli government-issued bonds, noting that “terrible arguments” took place before agreement was ultimately reached.
The book explores the early stages and subsequent growth of the Bonds campaign, detailing how it expanded across the United States and into Canada, Latin America and Europe. It also examines non-Jewish sources of support such as organized labor and states and municipalities, which collectively have invested hundreds of millions of dollars in Israel bonds.
Historic and Notable Personalities
Notable public figures who played a significant role in the development of Israel Bonds are featured throughout the book. Israelis include Ben-Gurion, Golda Meir[http://www.time.com/time/magazine/article/0,9171,865644,00.html%20 ], Yitzhak Rabin, Menachem Begin and Shimon Peres, while Harry Truman, Eleanor Roosevelt and Albert Einstein are among the well-known Americans shown lending support to the Bonds effort in the U.S.
Not Just A Bond: A Bond With Israel highlights the many entertainment luminaries who made appearances on behalf of Israel Bonds. The list encompasses a who’s who of singers, actors and comedians: Frank Sinatra, Tony Bennett, Sammy Davis, Jr., Gene Kelly, Elizabeth Taylor, Edward G. Robinson, Milton Berle and Jerry Lewis and many more.
Also discussed are the many members of the American Jewish community who played an indispensable role in ensuring the success of the new enterprise, together with subsequent generations who built on the organization’s achievements. Prominently featured is Sam Rothberg a legendary leader of the Jewish community who, the Strobers note, was “a titan of Israel Bonds.”
Acclaim for the Bonds Organization
The book states that the Bonds organization has been widely acclaimed for cost-effectiveness and dependability. In particular, it cites a Bank of Israel study: “Israel Bonds is unique to the State of Israel, and no other country has a similar organization. During years when the Israeli government had difficulty borrowing large amounts of money abroad, Israel Bonds proved itself as an organization that reacts rapidly to an increase in the government’s foreign exchange requirements.”
