I find it Ironic that you think this is Ironic!  These are NJ politicians - this is the norm.

Reponse I received from Assb.Anthony Bucco this morning:

 

Mr. XXXXX,

 

Thank you for your email regarding gun control.

 

As a long time member of the NRA, the Second Amendment Society and the New Jersey Rifle and Pistol Association, I have always been and continue to be a strong supporter of the Second Amendment. I will not support additional restrictions on gun ownership.

 

After a tragedy it is not uncommon for some to call for increased gun regulations, but I assure you that I will continue to support the rights of responsible, legal gun owners.

 

Sincerely,

 

Tony

Just got the EXACT same canned response - at least he is on our side!!!

Garbage In, Garbage out.... Time to cleanup.

I sent emails to everyone on the committee, and only received one response -- a form letter indicating that they would respond.

Same here from Webber

agreed!

Double agreed.  The law was clear and unambiguous at the time.  It said no ballot changes after 60 days prior to the election (I can't recall the exact number of days), period.  No legalese, no potential squirmy outs, just period.

Then the NJ Supremes, and I think it was Poritz at the time, decided the law did not matter because the "people need a choice" after the Torch dropped out less than 60 days prior.

I too got this same form letter. 

 

I also got a form e-mail from Assemblyman Jay Webber(R-26) thanking me for contacting his office, and that my e-mail is important and will be reviewed in the order it is received. 

I sent emails to everyone on the committee, and only received one response -- a form letter indicating that they would respond.

Yes, they'll respond after the vote on Monday. Once again, the committees are screwing with us by announcing their agenda right before the actual meeting.

that's the same email i got. apparently it's a canned response....but at least there was some effort put into it........

well hopefully bucco has some influence on his fellow committee members, and can convince them of the err of this bill.....

This blogger, apparently with legislative/legal experience, agrees that rules were broken by transferring this bill to a different committee:

I think it is kind of Ironic that they have to break their own laws to pass a bill, but expect common criminals to obey the laws.

These low-lifes are no better, no different then the "common criminals" walking the streets. They have no more respect for the laws then the criminals.

Sent my emails this morning.

He said that political games have started, about 50 college kids just piled into the room- apparently they are waiting to start the meeting until after they arrived.

The kids are probably there for A4225, which gives undocumented kids in-state tuition rates.

Any updates? I've been formulating and sending letters/emails to Christie and the assembly, although I'm sure those will fall on deaf ears. Are they screwing us again?

They're still dicking around with giving away the store to illegal aliens.

Likely they won't get to our stuff until after midnight, but that was probably the game plan to begin with.

Just moved onto The Higher Education Citizenship Equality Act.  The illegals are causing a commotion. 

They are still busy giving in state tuition to illegal aliens.

Just a back door way to buy votes for the Democrats.
