Now he’s sending his right-wing attack dog after us

Now he's sending his right-wing attack dog after us
Friend,

Now he's sending his right-wing attack dog after us.

That's right – Steve Lonegan held a rally Tuesday to support Chris Christie's radical decision to remove Justice John Wallace from the state supreme court.

Never mind that the decision was an unprecedented slap in the face to a Supreme Court with a long recognized national reputation for excellence and independence.

Never mind that the decision will politicize the New Jersey court system and have a chilling effect on the independence of the entire judicial system in New Jersey and the trust and faith that our residents have that judges are appointed on their merits, not their politics.

Never mind that in one fell swoop, Gov. Christie has destroyed the diversity on our court and sent a message that independent thinking is no longer welcome.

By calling on Steve Lonegan for help, Christie made it perfectly clear he will stop at nothing – and will stoop to any level – in his effort to promote his right-wing agenda of tax cuts for millionaires at the expense of everything else including education funding, prescription assistance and property tax relief for seniors, healthcare options for New Jersey families and women's health funding.

Simply stated, they must be stopped.

To that end, we need you to do two things:

Sign the Petition: Go to this link and sign the petition for Justice Wallace, a jurist of impeccable credentials and the only African-American member of the court.

Again, by teaming up with one of the most extreme politicians in America – Christie has demonstrated his desperation as well as determination to politicize our court.

Let's stop them!

Thank you.

Chairman John Wisniewski

P.S. Every one of Governor Christie's major decisions, and his entire budget proposal, so far have brought cheers from right wing Republicans in Washington: Tax cuts for millionaires, demonizing teachers and public employees, abolishing civil service and collective bargaining , decimating state aid for our schools, eliminating all property tax rebates including for seniors and the disabled, allowing the unconstitutional efforts to recall a US Senator to go unchallenged, ending funding for family planning, and increasing prescription co-pays for seniors. Now Governor Christie is really making his conservative backers happy by politicizing New Jersey's proud and independent judiciary. Help us stop his right wing agenda today. Make a Contribution

Talking points vs Real Priorities

Talking points vs Real Priorities
With his poll numbers dropping and editorial pages across the state calling him out on his backward priorities, Governor Christie's administration is doing everything it can to distract New Jersey voters from the middle class crunching cuts and property tax increases he has proposed. No one is disputing that we are in a tough budget situation and action is needed. But the Governor continually tells us his budget imposes shared sacrifice on everyone in New Jersey, yet approximately 42,000 people who make over $400,000 will pay thousands of dollars less in taxes than they did last year. The rest of us are left with crippling property tax increases as a result of the cuts to our local schools and towns. As many as 134,000 low income seniors will have to pay an additional $310 for their prescription drug plans in addition to a doubling of their co-pay.

After a week of legislative hearings where many of these budget fallacies were exposed Christie and his treasurer had a new talking point, that Democrats were trying to make a 'political issue' out of the tax increase. If Chris Christie thinks priorities like protecting poor and disabled seniors, supporting families struggling to pay their property taxes and keeping our class sizes at rational levels is a 'political issue' he couldn't be more wrong.

To make matters worse, at the same time he is taking money out of our pockets, he wants to send tens of millions of dollars back to Washington by refusing federal matching funds for after-school programs, homeland security and library funding amongst others.

This video from my colleague Assemblyman John Burzichelli does a great job of summing up our priorities vs. those of Governor Christie's budget.

Jefferson Jackson Dinner

On April 29th we will be hosting our first Jefferson Jackson dinner in almost twenty years at the Trenton Marriott and I hope you can join us. At our last Jefferson Jackson dinner, we had an up and coming Governor from Arkansas come and address the crowd. A few years later we were all proud to call him President William Jefferson Clinton. Maybe this year's keynote will have as distinguished a career. Please help me make this an unforgettable evening and support the Jefferson Jackson Dinner so we can celebrate our victories in November. We will be honoring all the past chairs of the Democratic State Committee including: Richard Coffee, Raymond Durkin, Raymond Lesniak, Tom Byrne, Thomas Giblin, Joseph Roberts, Bonnie Watson Coleman & Joe Cryan.

You can buy your tickets online by clicking here or by calling 609-392-DEMS.
