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!
What about Alan Keyes? Can he run two races at once?
PING!
McGreevy Out Now!!!
If we take action quick! It will work to our advantage!
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!
Don't live there, just thought I'd chime in
The guy was garbage from the get. That was obvious even from this coast.
Mcgreevy Out Now!
Take action now!!!!!
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.
Only in the state of New Jersey. Think that there is a lot more to this than what is being reported.
Mcgreevey Out now!
Take action qucikly!
LOL!!!
Who is the person he had the affair with?
Barney Frank?!?!??!?!
bttt
LOLOLOLOL
While over at CNN, Paula Zahn was still sympathetically discussing his painfull and 'cathartic' 'coming out'.
Incredible.
Bump for the morning.
bump back at ya!
