Take Action! McGreevey Out NOW! (quick action item)

FR ^

[jmstein7]

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.

Aha! Two, count em, two straight women!!!

McGreevey is a scumbag times two!

[bayourod]

What about Alan Keyes? Can he run two races at once?

[ConservativeMan55]

PING!

[ConservativeMan55]

McGreevy Out Now!!!

If we take action quick! It will work to our advantage!

[proudmilitarymrs]

I agree completely Tacis! A local Philadelphia station led with the story then broke to their "Jersey correspondent" that said, the Governor's announcement was answered by locals with "disbelief and then 'acceptance'." What a crock, he found a few folks that said that and kept the rest of the public off the air!

If McGreedy were a Republican, there would be nationwide outrage at his postponing his exit date until November!

Hey Hey
Ho Ho
Jim Mcgravy's got to go

Don't live there, just thought I'd chime in

The guy was garbage from the get. That was obvious even from this coast.

[bilhosty]

I don't understand how getting mcgreevey out now helps to get a GOP Governor. As I recall the Senate President Pro Tem becomes acting Governor and last year the State Senate went Dem.

[ConservativeMan55]

Mcgreevy Out Now!

Take action now!!!!!

[jmstein7]

Because there would be a special election now if he left now. By staying 'till November, McGreevey allows the Dems to hold Jersey until '06.

[mom-7]

Only in the state of New Jersey. Think that there is a lot more to this than what is being reported.

McGreevey's successor Senate Majority Leader Richard J. Codey (D) Essex:
To the cheers of gay and lesbian couples gathered in the Statehouse, the Senate yesterday passed a landmark bill that would offer financial and legal benefits for same-sex partners.
The bill now goes to Gov. McGreevey, who said he would sign it into law. The Assembly narrowly passed it last month. Yesterday's vote was 23-9, with eight senators recorded as not voting.
"The time has finally come when we can guarantee individuals who have entered into an enduring, committed relationship the basic civil rights they deserve," McGreevey said.
"It's an incredibly historic day," said Steven Goldstein, New Jersey representative for Lambda Legal, which is fighting in court for a right to gay marriage.
"There's still another step to go. We still want full marriage rights," he said. "But this is an incredible step."
Goldstein, who watched from the Senate gallery with dozens of other supporters, called the occasion "the coming of age of the gay community" in New Jersey.
The legislation would provide for hospital-visitation and decision-making rights, an inheritance-tax exemption, and a state income-tax deduction for dependents.
It also would provide partners of state employees with health insurance and pension coverage, and outlaw discrimination against domestic partners.
"It's the right thing to do, and I think a majority of New Jersey residents agree with it," said Senate Copresident Richard J. Codey (D., Essex), who pushed for the legislation.
The bill also calls for the same benefits to be offered to unmarried opposite-sex couples 62 and older. Supporters have said some older couples want domestic-partner benefits but do not want to marry because of potential penalties on pensions and other financial interests.

O'Reilly and the 'Judge' just nailed him; and ALL the creepy, disgusting tactics this Gov managed to pull off. (He should go straight to jail; no pass).

While over at CNN, Paula Zahn was still sympathetically discussing his painfull and 'cathartic' 'coming out'.

Incredible.
