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.
Yep, that's verbatim from the mouth of the Hildabeast herself!
I meant to ping my list to this thread before, but got distracted. Will do so now. This is a must do action item.
Thanks for starting this thread, jmstein7. I just sent my email to Bret Schundler.
Please FReepmail me if you want on or off my infrequent ‘miscellaneous’ ping list.
I thought I heard on Hugh Hewitt tonight that there is a lawsuit being planned.
That is our legacy to future generations. We, the good citizens of this great nation, can make it happen.
Well, "Fleets" for the Fleet Center were discouraged about 3 weeks ago. Calamares for Kerry has yet to take off. Cornholes for McGreevy? Something that would make him a laughing stock is in order. I am not there. Be creative in thought. Insult the whole dem party at the same time. Sleep on it.
BTTT!!!!!!
BTTT!!!!!!!
BTTT!!!!!!
BTTT!!!!!!!
BUMP!
mwl1, that's what I was thinking. I don't know anything about NJ politics but in recent weeks I've read a couple of posts on FR to the effect that one reason the state is in play for the GOP is voter anger at McGreevey. If that's the case, then by all means let him stay.
You would think Sen. Codey would want to be Governor now, wouldn't you? What is his email address? Maybe we can flood his office with demands that he take the office immediately.
pinging self for later read
Thanks for the ping. I must go to bed now, but will start working on it in the a.m.
There has to be hope, even for New Jersey!
