Below is the letter we sent to Governor Christie. We are asking everyone to flood his office with letters, faxes and telephone calls. On Wednesday, our legislators unconstitutionally approved 23 firearms bills to be sent to the Assembly for a vote. Given the liberal and illogical ideologoy of those in charge of our NJ congress, it is likely that all 40+ Bills will make their way to the Governors desk. We need to speak loud, clear and in unison that the Governor should veto these Bills.
The letter posted below is there for your convience. Use whatever parts of it you wish or write a letter that is entirely your own, but write!
February 13, 2013 The Honorable Governor Chris Christie Office of the Governor P.O. Box 001 Trenton, New Jersey 08625-0001
Dear Governor Christie,
As you may know, the NJ Tea Party Caucus is comprised of numerous NJ tea parties and like-minded organizations throughout the State of New Jersey. As a group that believes in the principles of limited government supported in our Constitution, the 43 gun control laws being proposed are very disturbing. We are appealing to you as someone who is known to be a man who does not shy away from making tough decisions and as one of New Jerseys most valiant former Attorney Generals who respects the law. Therefore, we are asking that you consider our arguments when making your decision about whether or not to veto the legislation in question. The Ninth Circuit Court, one of the most notoriously liberal courts in the country, held in Nordyke v. King:
The right to bear arms is a bulwark against external invasion. We should not be overconfident that oceans on out east and west coasts alone can preserve security. We recently saw in the case of the terrorist attack on Mumbai that terrorist may enter a country covertly by ocean routes, landing in small craft and then assembling to wreak havoc. That we have a lawfully armed populace adds a measure of security for all of us and makes less likely that a band of terrorist could make headway in an attack on any community before more professional forces arrived.
The Supreme Court, in its 2008 decision in District of Columbia v Heller, established that the Second Amendment guarantees an individual the right to own guns. In the majority opinion, Justice Anton Scalia wrote: There are many reasons why the militia was thought to be necessary to the security of a free state. See 3 Story 1890. First, of course, it is useful in repelling invasions and suppressing insurrections. Second, it renders large standing armies unnecessaryan argument that Alexander Hamilton made in favor of federal control over the militia. (The Federalist No. 29, pp. 226, 227 (B. Wright ed. 1961) (A. Hamilton).) Third, when the able-bodied men of a nation are trained in arms and organized, they are better able to resist tyranny. Justice Scalia went on to write: It may be objected that if weapons that are most useful in military serviceM-16 rifles and the likemay be banned, then the Second Amendment right is completely detached from the prefatory clause. But as we have said, the conception of the militia at the time of the Second Amendment s ratification was the body of all citizens capable of military service, who would bring the sorts of lawful weapons that they possessed at home to militia duty. It may well be true today that a militia, to be as effective as militias in the 18th century, would require sophisticated arms that are highly unusual in society at large. Indeed, it may be true that no amount of small arms could be useful against modern-day bombers and tanks. But the fact that modern developments have limited the degree of fit between the prefatory clause and the protected right cannot change our interpretation of the right. Lastly, we would like to draw your attention to the word infringed, as written in the Second Amendment: A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.
Obviously, the words shall not are a command not a suggestion but what exactly does the word infringed mean? Modern day dictionaries define the word this way:
Infringe to disobey or disregard something, to fail to obey a law or regulation or observe the terms of an agreement; to encroach upon somebodys rights or property especially in a minor or gradual way.

Supported by Republicans: Democrat Paul Davis is running for governor in Kansas. Photo: Photo: AP
Kansas is not only the geographical heart of the United States, but to many Midwesterners, something like its soul.
It is the home of sturdy conservatism and its champions, men such as the war heroes-come-politicians Bob Dole and Dwight Eisenhower. And of Dorothy and Toto too.
And it has become the battleground of one of the most unlikely of the midterm elections in which traditional Republicans have crossed party lines to back a Democratic challenger, Paul Davis, over the Tea Party-backed governor, Sam Brownback.
Should Governor Brownback lose after a single term, the nationwide consequences could be significant. Brownback was elected in the 2010midterm elections when Tea Party candidates were swept into Congress and into governors' mansions across the nation.

Should he manage to win, Brownback andhis hard-right allies across the nation will claim vindication for his hardline agenda, in particular spectacular cuts in tax and spending and government services. Should he lose, Republican moderates will be emboldened to fight for a more centrist platform before the 2016 presidential elections.
The bitter campaign has also bled into the senatorial election in which the Republican incumbent senator, Pat Roberts, is finding his re-election bid tougher than expected.Should he lose the Republican Party's bid to take over the Senate could be jeopardised.
Back in 2010 the depth of the bitter political divide that still grips America was becoming evident. A backlash against Barack Obama's presidency, and particularly his healthcare reforms, had erupted and was being fanned by private donors backing Tea Party groups.
Those that rode the wave of dissatisfaction into Congress set about seeking the repeal of healthcare legislation and in line with their small-government ideology blocking any other initiatives that crossed their desks. Led by firebrands such as Senator Ted Cruz they not only prevented basic legislating but blocked nominations to key government posts, halted the budget process and even shut down the government.

Tide going out for the Tea Party in US midterms
It took less than 24 hours for conservative media to sound the alarm over tea party leader and Green Tea Coalition founder Debbie Dooley's decision to speak out at Wednesday's "Pitchfork Protest" in St. Petersburg against Duke Energy and its attempts to squelch alternative energy in Florida.
"A divide has begun to unfold in the usually conservative Tea Party movement in Florida and more generally in the Southeast," warned a blog posting Thursday morning on Breitbart.com, the conservative news and opinion website founded by Andrew Breitbart.
Dooley, the post says, "has launched an effort in Florida to push for so-called energy deregulation, but it appears to be yet another avenue for wealthy liberals to advance a radical environmentalist agenda."
Really? Talk about the conservatives eating their own. Dooley, a tea party activist from Georgia, explained quite clearly from Wednesday's protest podium why she was getting involved in the Sunshine State. Monopolies, like Duke Energy's stranglehold on west-central Florida, are bad and stifle competing forms of power production in the state.
"These giant monopolies are trying to protect their profit margin," Dooley told the Tampa Bay Times. "They are no longer looking out for the best interests of their utility customers. They are looking out for the best interest of their stockholders."
But the Breitbart posting smells a conspiracy, noting that Dooley's group, Conservatives for Energy Freedom, recently launched a chapter in Florida. "Their main purpose is to expand solar energy use. Sounds innocent enough until you dig deeper," the Breitbart posting by Javier Manjarres says. "It appears that there are direct links between Dooley and her group and ultra-liberal billionaire Tom Steyer's group, Southern Alliance for Clean Energy. This is Halloween scary."
The bombastic posting warns that the agenda of the Southern Alliance (which says it takes no money from Steyer) promises to "wreck the nation's economy, put our national security at risk, and bankrupt the seniors and small businesses of this state." As for Dooley, the posting complains it's disturbing that she "appears to be in league with an effort by liberals to fund an undermining of our conservative movement."
Is that all? Surely Florida should maintain the status quo in which ratepayers must pay Duke for electricity priced far higher than its peers in the state and remain stymied in seeking other options for power at potentially lower costs.
Dooley, who has aggressive plans to build her antimonopoly Green Tea Party group in Florida, suggests a less onerous reason to get involved. "Being good stewards of our natural resources, and wanting energy freedom and choice are issues that resonate across the political spectrum," she said. "They're not Democrat issues. They're not Republican issues. They are American issues."
