Join the Rider University College Republicans as we “welcome” Governor Jon Corzine to Mercer County for his Toll Hike Speech!
Let your voice be heard in opposition to more New Jersey voodoo economics! Exercise your First Amendment rights to be heard on the defining issue of New Jersey’s future! What is at stake is the largest toll increases on the NJ Turnpike, Garden State Parkway and Atlantic City Expressway, as well as introducing tolls on Rt. 440 in Middlesex County! Governor Corzine believes in raising tolls drastically instead of reducing spending and government. Join us in telling him he is wrong: IT’S THE SPENDING STUPID!
Date: Saturday February 9, 2008
Time: 1:00 pm
Place: Hightstown High School, 25 Leshin Lane, Hightstown, New Jersey 08520

Here’s a challenge, young Republicans: Instead of going to the meeting with nothing but bile and a lame slogan, go with a list of actual spending cuts you’d like to see the state make as an alternative to Corzine’s toll road plan. Put those college eductations to work. Be better than the numbnuts at 101.5.
According to the first amendment, American citizens have the right to peacefully assemble and petition the government for a redress of grievances. Governor Corzine, as a public official, proposed an extremely controversial program that we are well within our rights to protest and ask him in a reasonable way to reconsider. The Assembly Republican office has proposed Budget Alternatives (http://www.njassemblyrepublicans.com/pages/table/fiscal/budget_alternatives.htm) year after year, places where can save money by cutting wasteful spending rather than raising taxes, selling state assets, or otherwise increase the amount of money the average person in NJ has to spend just to live here. We are not uneducated and we offer an alternative: cut wasteful government spending.
