Forrester Statement On New Jersey Supreme Court Decision

(TRENTON, OCTOBER 2) – U.S. Senate candidate Doug Forrester tonight issued the following statement:

“Today, the people of New Jersey lost. The Torricelli-Lautenberg machine’s disregard for the rule of law, fair elections and the people of New Jersey will, once again, make our great state the butt of national jokes.

“The good people of New Jersey understand what has transpired over the past few days. A few powerbrokers read public opinion polls and concluded that I was going to beat Bob Torricelli, and decided to change the rules of the game. The good people of New Jersey will not allow these political games to win the day.

“Today, this election became an election between, on the one hand, those who seek to restore New Jersey’s reputation and, on the other hand, those few powerbrokers who will say anything and do anything to rig the system to their advantage. I will continue my fight to restore dignity and honor the office of the United States Senate. And with the people of New Jersey, we will win this fight.

“Unfortunately, the New Jersey Supreme Court has now decided that New Jersey law, as written, should not apply to this election. Their decision is flawed.

“We will pursue an appeal of this matter to the Supreme Court of the United States, to ensure that the men and women of our military will not be disenfranchised and that the rule of law will be upheld.

“This is a fight that the Torricelli-Lautenberg machine began when it decided it could not win this election within the rules provided by state law.

“Regardless of the outcome in the courts, I will continue my fight to put the interests of the people of New Jersey before politics.

“The Torricelli—Lautenberg machine has failed to fight to strengthen our national security. The Torricelli – Lautenberg machine has consistently voted to cut defense and intelligence spending.

The Torricelli – Lautenberg machine voted against a national missile defense system to protect American families and our allies. The Torricelli—Laugtenberg machine has failed to clean more than 19 of New Jersey’s 132 Superfund toxic waste sites. The Torricelli—Lautenberg machine has consistently voted for higher taxes and against a Balance Budget Amendment. And under the Torricelli – Lautenberg machine, New Jersey has remained dead last among the states in getting a return on the tax dollars we send to Washington meaning our hardworking families continue to bear an enormous tax burden.

“These issues continue to confront us. These are the issues I have been speaking about since I entered this race. Theses are the issues I will continue to speak about until Election Day.

“Enough is enough. I will continue to stand against the Torricelli-Lautenberg machine. Hang on, New Jersey – help is on the way!”

Not bad. But six of the judges were appointed by a Republican.

Great press release. I like the use of Torricelli/Lautenberg's machine in this release. I have started using Clinton DemocRAT Party to describe the RATs as of today. This has all of both clintons fingerprints all over it.

Torch hates Lautenberg and said he would not turn his campaign money over to him but today he has done just that. Would guarantee that the clintons made Torch an offer he couldn't refuse.

Drop the lawsuit part of this speech, and you're on the right track Doug!

Either BEAT the Lautenberg-Torch-Dashle-Xlinton Machine, or shut the hell up!!

The SCONJ are scofflaws, and the Dims are thugs...but buck up and beat them at their own game. Period.

Forrester should immediately demand a debate with Lautenberg. Let's see how prepared he is to represent New Jersey in the Senate.

Wow. If the return for tax dollars in NJ is worse than here in CA, things must be pretty bad. Otherwise, excellent position for Forrester to take. Pursue the remedy and call the Dems for what they are.

I love it. Great theme Forrester is striking. I love the linkage of Torricelli-Lautenburg.

You must be mistaken Whitman for a Republican. Bush was stupid enough to give that idiot an appointment and that has already bitten him twice.

It's a nice press release, but until we start impeaching judges for legislating from the bench, this will continue to happen.

You are absolutely right. He could goad him into it by saying the people of NJ need to know where Loserburg stands on the issues and they're running out of time.
