Finally, two junior staffers carrying out orders need to exercise sound judgment. But, ultimately, the buck stops with those who sent out a college student and a former Christie aide to do their bidding. Since Christie seems to enjoy the attention he gets when he demands the firing or resignation of those who he holds no influence over, perhaps he should take this opportunity to exert actual leadership and call for the resignation of N.J. GOP State Chair Sam Raia, Spokesman Doug Mayer or whoever was responsible for sending these staffers out with orders to harass people on the street. At the very least, they should be taken to task for the incompetence of not even knowing what the target of their political payback looked like.

It is giving voice to the important issues that affect our daily lives. One New Jersey will closely monitor policy positions and actions of elected officials and expose their records on the issues that matter.
