Article IndexThe O’Neills and Zurofsky have put a petition online calling for the public to support its effort to goad Democratic lawmakers in Trenton, if the party retains control of the Legislature in the November election, not to re-elect Sweeney and Oliver (D-Essex) as Senate president and Assembly speaker when both houses reorganize in January.
The second thing on NJ-CAN’s agenda is to challenge the 20 South Jersey, and Essex and Hudson county “Christiecrats” seeking re-election in November with write-in opponents or provide support for independents who are already on the ballot.
“I’m a member of the Progressive Democrats of America New Jersey Chapter,” Tim O’Neill said. “We believe in democratic principles, not what the party adheres too. We believe elected officials should be held accountable for their actions. We feel they betrayed the democratic principle (turning on labor) and gave Christie a total victory. In Wisconsin, it was the Republicans who attacked labor. In New Jersey, it was the people we trusted it who did labor in. When the people you trust stab you in the back, are you going to stand there and take it or are you going to do something?”Besides the recall plan, O’Neill said he hopes to see NJ-CAN become a statewide political organization that would run its own candidates against “Christiecrats” still in office when the Assembly is up for re-election in 2013 and in the Senate election that follow.
“I’m a realist, I’ve done this for years and years,“ O’Neill said. “Basically, this is a win, win strategy for us. Even if we don’t win a write-in campaign, there is a chance if nobody is running against them and the turnout will be low. The message we are sending is a powerful one. They will realize we’ll be back next time (in 2021) and be better funded and better prepared.
“We want them removed,” O‘Neill concluded. “They have to realize that because of how they are aligned with Christie and how far to right they have acted.”
If you throw your name in the mix for president, I will change my party to republican ( democrat since 68). I will campaign NC for you as much as you will allow me.
I have two grandchildren , I value your feelings about for your family, but for every leader that history called, they brought their family into history with them. I hope our God and your family will lead you into our history of America!!
All the best!

1. Right to work laws
2. Ban unions from being involved with employees who are being compensated with tax dollars
Oh I forgot, the unions and people like Soros who back them, want to create a two class system in the US, rich and poor and unless you can afford 2 million dollar ring for a 26 year year old bimbo, you're in the poor category. Right after George croaks, I wonder what the unions and their henchmen bullies are going to do
The LaRouch people have been planted in front of DMV's for years with their name gathering, andconspiracy theorizing. How about lettting some REAL democracy take a shot?
Set up recall petition tables in front of the DMV's.
Pretty much the only people going there are legal residents with or gettting drivers licenses and car registrations so that makes them qualified to sign right off the bat!

A Recall Petition at the statewide level in NJ is nearly impossible, and there's now way they will even get half that many people to sign a petition.
1. our 1st leg of the "DUMP THE CHRISTIE-CRATS" campaign is a petition to the Democratic leadership and the Democratic caucus in Trenton. it demands that Sweeney and Oliver be removed from their leadership positions in the Legislature.
2. the l2nd eg of the "DUMP THE CHRISTIE-CRATS" campaign is the write-in campaign is for the 2011 (Nov) election
3. the message is: "even if we don't unseat you this time, if you continue to put the people of NJ 2nd to the corporate lobby, then WE WILL BE BACK. We will be better organized, better funded, with an even larger force of disenchanted citizens who feel betrayed by those they elected and we will be even more committed to NOT SEEING YOUR NAMES ON THE NEXT NOV BALLOT.
4. the 3rd leg is the "Recall Christie Campaign" which will commence after the 2011 elections.
thank you for calling, it was my first interview.
