Take Action Now to Stop the RGGI Counter-Attack!
[img_assist|nid=23676|title=No NJ Cap & Trade|desc=|link=url|url=http://www.kintera.org/c.aiIKI3NPKgKYF/b.6645855/k.8C45/Action_Center/siteapps/advocacy/ActionItem.aspx?c=aiIKI3NPKgKYF&b=6645855&aid=517207|align=left|width=300|height=300]
Last week, AFP alerted you about the RGGI counter-attack.
Now, its time to take action!
On Thursday, the Assembly will vote on Bill A1998, an attempt to force New Jersey back into the job-destroying RGGI Cap & Trade scheme!
You and I did not come this far to allow liberals in Trenton, beholden to far left environmental special interests groups, to push their radical agenda unopposed.

Lonegan Urges Senators Not to Sign Off on Christie Supreme Court Picks Unless Nominees Reject Judicial Activism
BOGOTA, NJ Steve Lonegan, Americans for Prosperity State Director, today urged seven State Senators whose sign off is required for two State Supreme Court nominees to have hearings, not to give their approval unless the two nominees reject the concept of judicial activism that has been the Courts hallmark.
The seven state Senators include four from Bergen County who must sign off on Phillip Kwons nomination, two from Morris County who must sign off on Mayor Bruce Harriss nomination, and Senator Tom Kean (R-21) from Union County whose district includes Harriss home town of Chatham Borough.
No hearings can occur on the nominees until the Senators all sign off on the nominations. They are the first line of review here, and were urging them to take their responsibility seriously, he added.

For Immediate Release January 23, 2011
AFPs Lonegan Open but Skeptical of Christie Supreme Court Nominees
BOGOTA, NJ Americans for Prosperity state director Steve Lonegan has issued the following statement regarding Gov. Chris Christies proposed nominees to the state Supreme Court.
With two vacancies to fill on the state Supreme Court, Gov. Christie has an historic opportunity to steer the court in a new direction and restore the proper balance of powers to state government. Four decades of unrestrained judicial activism and social engineering from the states high court has done untold damage to the states fiscal condition, resulted in an ever-escalating tax burden, and undermined the very fabric of communities across the state.

Last week, AFP alerted our activists about a pending 50% toll increase on the Garden State Parkway and New Jersey Turnpike.
Embedded in the body of the e-mail was the following statement:
New Jersey taxpayers, the most over-burdened in the nation, will now face the highest tolls in the country with no noticeable improvement in service.
(Note: See below for the full text of the e-mail alert.)
The purpose of this statement was to convey generally that New Jersey motorists are subject to a bevy of high tolls. This includes not just on the Parkway and Turnpike, but other tolls across the state including those at Hudson River crossings, or upon entering Pennsylvania or Delaware.
