Jessica’s law is named in memory of Jessica Lunsford, a child who was murdered by a repeat sex offender, John Couey. Couey received only a combined 7 years for prior molestations. he had his license revoked for 99 years because he liked to drive drunk but jailed for only 7 years because he raped children, until he murdered Jessica. Jessica’s law would better ensure our children’s safety by establishing harsher laws against vile child sex offenders and preventing them from re-offending. The key provisions to Jessica’s Law would guarantee a mandatory prison sentence for those who commit heinous sex crimes to children under 12 ,with a minimum sentence of 25 years to life and lifetime monitoring of the most sinister of those individuals.
Jessica’s law was brought up in both the State senate and assembly last year, but was never brought out of committee. Once more it has been brought up and this time needs to become law. Rider University College Republicans are asking for you to take a stand and write letters to your state representatives, urging them to pass this bill. Conservative philosopher Edmund Burke once said that “All that is necessary for evil to exist is for good men to do nothing”. Imagine what ills we can overcome if we join hands to finally revive justice in New Jersey.

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!

However, because of the large gap between the delegates, McCain will be the victor.
