I recently sent an email through NRA/ILA to The Governor. This is what I received back:

GOVERNOR CHRIS CHRISTIE ELECTRONIC RESPONSE

 

 

 

April 8, 2013

 

 

 

 

Dear Friend:

 

Thank you for writing to express your support for new laws regarding gun control. 

I appreciate hearing from you on this important issue.

 

Acting on my commitment to take a full and comprehensive look at the intersection of gun control, addiction, mental health and school safety in New Jersey, I have created the NJ SAFE Task Force.  The Task Force is chaired by two former attorneys general of New Jersey and members who have expertise in the fields of mental health diagnosis and treatment, addiction services and treatment, law enforcement and school safety. 

 

Violence in our society has never been solely about firearms, and we would miss an opportunity to better prevent the roots of violence if we didn't look at the complete picture.   If we are truly going to take an honest and candid assessment of violence and public safety, we have to look more deeply at the underlying causes of many acts of violence. That means removing the stigma and evaluating issues of mental health, addiction, prevention and treatment services alongside the effectiveness of our firearms laws, enforcement mechanisms and our school safety measures. 

 

My commitment has always been to evaluate public safety, criminal policy and behavioral science with an approach that recognizes that these issues cannot be separated from one another. The SAFE Task Force will further my commitment in that regard as we look at how we can better guarantee violence control. 

 

I hope you find this information helpful. Thank you again for writing.

 

 

Sincerely,

 

 

Chris Christie

Governor

I called the office of the Governor this morning to discuss this issue. At first the lady told me it must have been my fault. After going back and forth with her about wether or not someone could have sent an email in my stead, she finally was able to pull my email up and see that the mistake was theirs. Clearly I was not pro new gun laws. She promised to fix the error pertaining to my email but would not state that they would look to see if this has happened previously.

 

I notified NRA/ILA about this mistake; they promised to look into it.

 

I think it would be prudent for anyone using an email sending site to check the response thoroughly to avoid having their voice being heard for the opposition.

 

 

 

oh dam mine came back the same way!

Well, at least we know that the "other side" isn't getting a response that's much different than ours.

oh dam mine came back the same way!

Here is the number.

 

609-292-6000

I just called and asked to be changed and she took my name and said someone would change it, I doubt it will be....

 

I have a feeling someone has gotten to these folks and is rigging the voting, reminds me of the last election. no wonder they say 89% agree with new laws

 

I wonder how many of my other emails have gotten filed incorrectly with other politicians, I have gotten back a few automated reponses, but christies is the only one that states anythin about my position

I'm pretty sure Gov. Christie announced the formation of his SAFE Task Force back in mid-January, with a commitment to produce findings and/or recommendations within "60 days" of its creation. Wonder what they'll have to say?

You think the news stations would jump on this and investigate people's wishes being hijacked like this?

 

Sorry, was just dreaming...

I called as well, just to be sure.

I posted about this a couple of weeks back, I got a message out of the blue with the "anti" template even though I hadn't sent a message to them lately.

well i sent the one from the NRA-ILA email I got this weekend and thats what came back......

So, who represents US, the people on nj task force?

So, who represents US, the people on nj task force?

What makes you think you should be represented by our representatives?
