McGreevey wants state to become breeding ground of Life Sciences

Once a bastion of fertile farmland, the Garden State aims to become a verdant `pharmland' of drug development, life-science research and biotechnology-based industry.

Gov. James E. McGreevey's plan to restructure New Jersey's public research universities is part of a broader vision of creating a super-cluster of pharmaceutical and biotechnology-based entrepreneurship that could give the state economy a new vitality and focus.

[Coleus]

Now we know why there was this big push to get the fetal stem cell/cloning bill passed.

I think it's a desperate attempt to prolong Frank Lautenberg's (D-AARP) Senate term.

[Coleus]

Yea, he wants to keep Lousneberg around as long as possible.

New Jersey -- the state for ^)_%&*$*$*)__^%$#!!

8 weeks and I'm leaving this state for Maryland.
Can't wait.
Auto insurance going down 48%.
Property taxes going down 45%.

BTW, anyone think it curious that McGreevey announced this after Rendell announced a similar initiative last month?

[Coleus]

What are you going to do with all that extra money?

Why the move?

[dyed_in_the_wool]

What are you going to do with all that extra money?

Buy a house on the French Riviera, that's how much less it'll cost to insure the cars. Seriously, when I got a quote from the broker, he actually gasped when he saw the drop in premium.

Why the move?

New Jersey elected Frank Lautenberg as Senator. With all of the talk of 'fairness' for the democrats, nobody ever asked if it was fair for Doug Forrestor to have to run TWO campaigns.
I was embarassed by the actions of the state officials, from the Governor to the Supreme Court.
Taxes and insurance are not going down and, quite frankly, the idiot to smart person ratio has probably hit the breaking point.
There are too many nearby states willing to grab business from New Jersey and there are other options for commuters to the big cities.
Sorry to bail, but in the last 4 years our town committee and my state reps have all gone from Republican to democrat. And I can't stand democrats. As soon as Lautenberg won, I turned to my wife and we both said, at the same time, we've got to move.
Good luck.

[Coleus]

Good luck to you.

McGreevey Considers Pro-Abortion Activist Attorney Zulima Farber for NJ Supreme Court Vacancy

"Will the same scrutiny used against Miguel Estrada be applied to Zulima Farber?"

February 28, 2003—

For days now, pro-abortion Democrat Senators have filibustered the nomination of Miguel Estrada to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia, including New Jersey’s two U.S. Senators Jon Corzine and Frank Lautenberg. Today’s Bergen Record reports that NJ Governor McGreevey favors nominating Zulima V. Farber, current state board chairman of NARAL Pro-Choice America, formerly known as the National Abortion and Reproductive Rights Action League.

Marie Tasy, Public & Legislative Affairs Director for New Jersey Right to Life said that the NJ Senate should oppose any such nomination by NJ Governor McGreevey. “This is a case of a well-known, self-avowed pro-abortion extremist sitting on the bench of our Supreme Court. Farber would clearly not be an impartial party on issues overwhelmingly supported by the majority of NJ citizens and the NJ Legislature like parental notification of a minor’s abortion and banning partial birth abortion. The last thing we need on the NJ Supreme Court is another activist judge with a left-wing pro-abortion agenda,” said Tasy.

If McGreevey selects Farber for a seat on the NJ Supreme Court, NJRTL will mount a vigorous campaign to defeat the nomination.

In his book, "Notes on the State of Virginia," Thomas Jefferson said, writing as a lifelong slave owner,

"Indeed I tremble for my country when I reflect that God is just: that his justice cannot sleep for ever."

Imagine what Jefferson would say today, in this ever darkening culture of death.

[MHGinTN]

I think North Carloina's state motto is 'First in Flight'. New Jersey is adopting 'First in Cannibalism' as theirs.

I wonder, but I'm sure he and our fore fathers never intended America to go this route. 9.11 is clear evidence that America lost God's protection.

PRESS RELEASE
New Jersey Right to Life

U. S. Senator Jon Corzine Contributes $10,000 to Pro-Cloning McGreevey Front Group In Support of S1909/A2840, NJ Clone & Kill Bill

Marie Tasy, Director of Public & Legislative Affairs for New Jersey Right to Life, the state’s largest pro-life organization, issued the following statement after learning that New Jersey’s U.S. Senator Jon Corzine donated $10,000 to Right2Hope, a pro-cloning front group for the McGreevey administration to try to resurrect legislative support for S1909/A2840.  S1909/A2840 was pulled from the Assembly Board list on February 10 after the sponsor, Assemblyman Neil Cohen, discovered he did not have enough votes for passage.    The legislation did not gain enough support because the effects included, most notably, the establishment of human embryo and human fetal farms as well as authorizing the birth of cloned human beings in the state of New Jersey.

“Senator Corzine’s contribution serves as an open invitation to groups like Clonaid, the company founded by the leader of the sect, the Raëlians which boasts the birth of the first human cloned baby.  It gives cult groups the green light to establish residence and cloning labs in the Garden State because those are the people who will be attracted to NJ if Senator Corzine, the McGreevey administration and the pro-cloning biotech industry have their way,” said Marie Tasy. 

Tasy noted, bills S1909/A2840 would make New Jersey a haven for macabre science because the bill authorizes the creation of human beings by cloning for the purpose of harvesting “cadaveric” fetal tissue.   Although the legislation purports to ban trafficking in fetal body parts for “valuable consideration,” it permits “reasonable payment” for “removal, processing, disposal, preservation, quality control, storage, transplantation, or implantation of embryonic or fetal cadaveric tissue.”     “This bill authorizes that a human being be brought into existence by cloning, implanted into a womb and permitted to develop to the desired stage for the purpose of being killed for the harvesting of his or her tissues and organs,” said Tasy. 

“This legislation reads like something right out of a science fiction horror novel, only in this case, it is real,” said Tasy.   Tasy noted that this legislation was analyzed and reviewed by the best legal experts in the country as well as by members of the President’s Council on Bioethics who sent Governor McGreevey a January 27 letter outlining grave concerns about the legislation.   “Assembly members read the bill carefully and to their credit, rejected the devastating implications of what this Frankenstein type of science would mean for New Jersey and the future of humanity,” said Tasy. 

“As a U. S. Senator, Senator Corzine has a responsibility to the people of New Jersey and all Americans to make sure that no deadly scientific experimentation is performed on any existing member of the human species and that no human being is ever created for the sole purpose of destructive experimentation and research,” said Tasy. 

Tasy called on Senator Corzine to urge his colleagues in the U. S. Senate to follow the lead of the House of Representatives who voted for a complete ban on human cloning.   “A majority of the NJ Congressional delegation voted for H. R. 534, the Weldon-Stupak bill on February 27, 2003 (Roll call # 39).   The only way Senator Corzine can represent the best interests of NJ citizens and not the special interests of the pharmaceutical industries is to follow his colleagues in the House and support the Senate version, S.245, the Brownback-Landrieu bill when it comes before the U. S. Senate,” asserted Tasy.

“If Senator Corzine really wants to help the millions of people suffering from disease and illness, he should forward his financial contributions to support adult stem cell research because that is where the cures are being found and because adult stem cell research does not involve killing in the cause of healing,” said Tasy.

Do historical enactors ever switch sides? Now that New Jersey's fixing to be a slave state, it seems appropriate somehow.
