Jim McGreevey has resigned as Governor of New Jersey... but he is making his resignation effective in NOVEMBER, after the election, for the mere purpose of preventing a Republican from taking over the Governorship and to prevent helping Bush's reelection effort. This man is a disgrace! This is unacceptable, and you can help the effort to get him out NOW! Here are a few small steps that may make a BIG difference:
1. Contact McGreevey's Former Opponent, Bret Schundler (R-NJ)
Here is Bret's email address: bret@schundler.org
Send Bret an email asking him to demand McGreevey's immediate exit. Here is a sample email if you are short on time:
Dear Bret,
Jim McGreevey has disgraced the state of New Jersey, and he has no business remaining in office until November. I hope you will lead the charge to make McGreevey's exite immediate.
This is not about the Governor's sexual orientation -- this is about Jim McGreevey's corruption and unscrupulous behavior. McGreevey did not resign for the good of New Jersey; if he did, he would have, rightly, left immediately. McGreevey left to save himself, dodge a bullet (a civil suit), and save the Democrat Party. This is disgraceful.
Please do the right thing and lead the charge to make McGreevey's resignation immediate!
Sincerely,
2. Contact New Jersey State Senate Republican Leader Leonard Lance
You can call and leave a message here: (908) 788-6900
Or, you can email him by clicking HERE and then clicking the "contact" link. You can send him an email similar to the one you sent to Bret Schundler. E.g.:
Dear Senator Lance,
Jim McGreevey has disgraced the state of New Jersey, and he has no business remaining in office until November. I hope you will lead the charge to make McGreevey's exite immediate.
This is not about the Governor's sexual orientation -- this is about Jim McGreevey's corruption and unscrupulous behavior. McGreevey did not resign for the good of New Jersey; if he did, he would have, rightly, left immediately. McGreevey left to save himself, dodge a bullet (a civil suit), and save the Democrat Party. This is disgraceful.
Please do the right thing and lead the charge to make McGreevey's resignation immediate!
Sincerely,
3. Send a Letter to the Editor
First, open the "Write for W," easy letter-to-the-editor form HERE.
Before you start, be sure to enter your zipcode in the form provided and select "get info" -- the red button.
Check off all the publication names, and then scroll down to write your letter. If you have the time, then click "Show All Newspapers" and check off as many boxes as you can.
Again, based on the sample we've been using, the letter should read something like this:
To The Editor
Jim McGreevey has disgraced the state of New Jersey, and he has no business remaining in office until November. This is not about the Governor's sexual orientation -- this is about Jim McGreevey's corruption and unscrupulous behavior. McGreevey did not resign for the good of New Jersey; if he did, he would have, rightly, left immediately. McGreevey left to save himself, dodge a bullet (a civil suit), and save his party. This is disgraceful and shameful. He must leave office immediately.
Of course, you don't need to use the sample letters I've provided... it's best if you write your own
McGreevey out NOW!
McGreevey out NOW!
McGreevey out NOW!
McGreedy appointed his non-citizen boy-toy to head homeland security for NJ, even though he had no experience and couldn't find Newark on a map.
Another example (remember Sandy Berger) of why democrats cannot be trusted with national security!
The longer I think about this the louder it screams "SMOKESCREEN".
McGreevey out NOW!
Any gay man who marries a straight woman without first confessing his proclivities should be horsewhipped in a public square. What a sh*tty thing to do to a woman.
Chill. Outta respect for the wife and kids.
In 3 days, McGreevy will have to figure out how he wraps the American Flag around his hiney-hijinks, whilst sparing the familiy he used in the most harshest definition of the word "used."
Wouldn't want to be him.
The FBI wouldn't even give McGreedy's boyfriend security clearance!
No way... this has nothing to do with being gay. As another poster said, that's a smokescreen.
I *know* - I interned for the government of New Jersey this summmer in Trenton. I know how he operates. He has to be hit immediately before he can control the issue.
Done!
Schundler was on with Hannity this afternoon. He's not sure he'd be ready to run this Nov. Also said he didn't think that there's anything anyone could do to get McGreevy out by 9/15.
nice!
A groundswell of support might encourage him. It can only help.
Again, think like a shifty, devious, criminal dem. Today's announcement was a preemptive diversion. It surfaced an issue. How many crapweasel dems have you seen that have resigned in the face of prove of filth, corruption or dishonesty? IIRC, two other dem governors (West Virginia & ?) have admitted committing adultry with a state employee in the past year. They (with the "help and support of thier wives") have been able to put the unfortunate incident behind them and move on.
By the end of next week, this will become a fairy issue. All the left-wing crapweasels in the media and Hollywood will say how brave he was for "coming out" and that the nation should not lose such a fine public servant just because he plays for the other team.
By raising the issue at this time, he hopes to exhaust opposition in the near term so he can respond to the "public outcry" of "folks who are not mean-spirited" and announce, maybe, mid-September that he has changed his mind and decided not to submit a letter of resignation to the state legislature.
Never be surprised by the blatant dishonesty of a dem politican or spokesman!
WHAT???? STAY AWAY FROM TRENTON jstein7!!!
I know! Thank goodness that's over.
You're probably thinking of former Gov. Paul Patton (D-KY)
