New Jersey--- urgent
If you're represented in Trenton by a Democrat, call them today. Currently it stands where the governor is allowed to appoint whoever he/she wants to a Senate vacancy, regardless of the party, and no special election will be held. Senator Frank Lautenberg is 85 years old. Should something happen to him, do we really want Chris Christie to appoint a teabagger type to Lautenberg's seat.
Let your Democratic legislators know that you would like to see the people of New Jersey have a say in a Senate vacancy, not 100% on the governor.
Cross post this everywhere.
Ah yes, "Elections have consequences" is going to bite the StripedCatNumbers Dummie in the butt!! :lmao: I wonder if the same panic would be on display if Corzine had gotten re-elected??

ha ha ha ha ha ha ha
boy you woulda thunk they would have learned their lesson in Taxxachusetts. When Uncle Teddy died they couldn't just throw another lib in his seat. And why was that? Oh that's right they didn't want a repuke to appoint someone if John "I was in Nam" Kerry won.

But would the governor sign it?

Let's see; corruption in NJ politics was one of the main factors in Corzine losing the seat. So what do the primitives recommend he do before leaving office? More corruption.
With liberals, the ends ALWAYS justify the means.

I would just so they would face the consequences of their actions in the future. But, I have a mean streak. :lmao:
