For NJ Republican Primary voters, we urge support for Alter Eliezer Richter, of Lakewood, running for the State Assembly seat of Assemblyman Sean Kean. Much to the chagrin of the informed value-voters of his Lakewood base, Kean has unfortunately frequently voted for pro-LGBT legislation. Some of his worst offenses were voting for indoctrinational pro-LGBT legislation, masquerading as Education bills. Sample offenses include:

° S1569: On May 17, 2018, Kean voted Yes to include LGBT in NJ Public School Education. This law requires the NJ Board of Education to include "instruction" on "the political, economic, and social contributions* of ... and lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender people, in an appropriate place" in the curriculum of middle school and high school.

* [The aforementioned "contributions" apparently do not include the millions of LGBT-identifying people, in addition to countless others, killed by preventable diseases [AIDS et. al] - spread through politically-correct infection tolerance policies of ostensibly pro-LGBT political and activist leaders. Those deadly medical policies stand as diametrically opposed to the current Establishment stance towards the similarly deadly Corona plague.]

° S3067: On June 29, 2017, Kean voted Yes to require the Commissioner of Education "to develop guidelines for school districts regarding transgender students.” This antireligious edict ("Gezaira al HaDas") includes LGBT indoctrinational books in school libraries, transgenders in school bathrooms and locker rooms & LGBT clubs.

° S705: On May 24, 2018, Kean voted Yes to establish a "Transgender Equality Task Force" - to suggest new LGBT laws.

° S478: On May 24, 2018, he voted Yes to allow the incorrect sex on NJ birth certificates (indicating just how ingrained this abject nonsense is, treating human will (or lust) as dominant over undeniable biological reality).

° LGBT Recidivism: After an earlier pro-LGBT vote, Kean promised not to similarly strike against morality again, but indeed did it again, multiple times.

Kean, and his fellow travellers in the GOP, and their "conservative" enablers, need to understand something. The LGBT advocacy movement (the core of which TIME magazine has previously dubbed the "Gay Mafia") poses an existential threat to American society, and to our religious communities in particular. That's because their goal is the eradication of sincere adherents of Torah morality, starting with Leviticus 18:22 and 20:13 (but by no means ending there). If we don't ensure that Republican LGBT collaborationists in government find alternative employment, we lose. When the war is waged against our very existence as religious communities, defeat cannot be an option. If we continue to vote in the lesser evil, we'll secure our ultimate defeat. In that sense, it's often better to allow an anti-morality Democrat to win, if thereby at least we'll retain a fighting chance to elect a pro-morality next candidate next election.

It's important to understand that Mr. Richter is running on morality, period - whatever his views are on other issues. A vote for Richter is a vote for morality, and a vote for Kean is definitively not.

It's crucial that we send the GOP a message, and now: your collaboration with the LGBT agenda is killing us. And, from the perspective of those aware of all of the relevant medical science* regarding the tens of millions worldwide killed by AIDS and similarly preventable diseases, that's not in the slightest an exaggeration.

NJ Republicans can learn lessons from 2017-20.

By Rubashov


Yesterday, NJGOP Chairman Doug Steinhardt put out an email that provided a laundry list of silver linings in the storm clouds that have oppressed New Jersey Republicans under his tenure. As in the aftermath of the 2018 cycle, when the GOP congressional delegation was all but wiped out, the message was to “focus on the positive” – with Steinhardt detailing the reasons why:

Friends,

It is two weeks since Election Day and about a week since my last update on the general election. A lot has happened since November 3, so I want to give you a brief update.

First, the hundreds of thousands of mail in ballots that were uncounted last week are largely counted now and, as expected, were very favorable for Republicans. Our data in the lead up to Election Day indicated a late surge of GOP votes, and that proved to be true. County election boards are now on to counting provisional votes and are required to finish counting and certify the results by this Friday, November 20.

Here are the most notable developments from around the State, in the last week:
Assemblywoman Dunn and Senator Bucco officially won their races. While the President lost LD25, these great candidates prevailed.

Morris County Freeholder Tayfun Selen won re-election.

The Monmouth County team of Christine Hanlon, Lilian Burry, and Ross Licitra won their races.

Ed Ramsey has a strong lead in the Salem County Freeholder race and we expect him to win, expanding the Republican majority to 4-1.

In Atlantic County, John Risley has a strong lead in the Freeholder race and is expected to win.

In NJ07, Senator Tom Kean Jr has cut 90% of Malinowski’s election night lead and is within 1% of pulling ahead. This race is one to closely monitor as the final ballots are counted.

There are still tens of thousands of ballots that will be counted between today and November 20 and we're closely watching county and municipal races across the State as our strong Republican candidates move into the lead.

Additionally, we had a very informative conference call with Bill Stepien and Justin Clark, the President's campaign manager and deputy campaign manager. They let us know that they are fighting hard in courts around the country to make sure every legal vote is counted. They are fighting to protect the rights of, of course, the President, but also candidates around the country in other states who have the right to a free and fair election. We remain thankful for their hard work and that of the President and Vice President.

And finally, as many of you know, the Georgia US Senate races are going to run offs on January 5, 2021. The GOP has 50 of the 100 Senate seats, so holding these two are critical and they need our help. There are two main things you can do to help.

1. The RNC has asked states around the nation to dial into Georgia to turn out conservatives. Sign up to make phone calls into Georgia via Trump Talk by emailing georgiavictory@gop.com

2. Contribute to the Georgia Battleground Fund, which is chaired by Governor Chris Christie and Karl Rove nationally, and our RNC Committeeman Bill Palatucci here in NJ. The below letter from Karl Rove has more information, and you can contribute directly here: https://secure.winred.com/senate-georgia-battleground-fund/joint-cjc_bp

You can reach out to Nicole for more information on the Georgia Battleground Fund at nicole@nicoledavidman.com.

As this unconventional election cycle comes to a close, you can be sure that the NJGOP and our team is going over our plans and activities from the previous year, analyzing the data we have presently, and doing an assessment of what worked and what needs to be reworked for the future. 2021 is right around the corner, and we’re already hard at work identifying vulnerable Democrats to unseat, including Governor Murphy, and building our war chest for the fight to come.

Over the last three years we registered over 200,000 new Republicans in NJ, erasing 23 years of lost registrants. Whole we scored some great wins this year, we still have a long way to go. We won't take our foot off the gas as we continue our fight to turn New Jersey red. Thank you for standing with us and for your continued support.

Thank you,

Chairman Doug Steinhardt

Having expressed his intentions to dozens – perhaps hundreds – of people throughout the state, some may see this missive in the context of Chairman Steinhardt’s all-but-announced gubernatorial campaign. This is natural, as it is natural for Steinhardt to want to put a “best face” on his tenure as NJGOP Chairman, a statewide position, and his most obvious credential for high office.

What concerns us is this paragraph:

As this unconventional election cycle comes to a close, you can be sure that the NJGOP and our team is going over our plans and activities from the previous year, analyzing the data we have presently, and doing an assessment of what worked and what needs to be reworked for the future.

We pose this question: Is the NJGOP “team” best suited to critique itself? And how would such a critique be conducted, in the run-up to a gubernatorial campaign, with the leader of the “team” as a likely candidate, and with many of the team’s members contemplating a departure from the NJGOP “team” in order to constitute a new Steinhardt for Governor team?

Being human, the NJGOP “team” will be hard-pressed not to turn this very necessary critique into a spin operation, ignoring mistakes, highlighting the bright spots. Again, a totally human response to such a situation.

New Jersey Republicans are at a shadow line, a nautical term, warning of a sea change, a departure from one region of the ocean to another. There are great opportunities ahead – in 2021 and beyond – but great trepidations too. The NJGOP could be headed for “sunlit uplands” or could just as well be on a course to “circling the drain”. Now is the time for a broad critique – or critiques – of various perspectives, examining not only tactics, but message as well, because message informs the broader strategy (something generally beyond the scope of tactics).

Chairman Steinhardt’s email references the voter registration success New Jersey Republicans have had, “erasing 23 years of lost registrants”.  Stop for a moment and consider that.  23 years ago was 1997.
 
In 1997, Republicans held the Governor’s office and a majority of the state’s Members of Congress.  The GOP controlled the State Senate with 24 Republicans to 16 Democrats, and the Assembly with 50 Republicans to 30 Democrats.  At the local level, Republicans not only controlled counties like Somerset and Burlington, but Bergen and Passaic too.  Republican County Executives ran Essex and Mercer Counties and Republican Bret Schundler was Mayor of Jersey City.
 
In terms of voter registration, Republicans had 19% of the registered vote to the Democrats’ 25%, the remainder being mainly unaffiliated.  Today, Republicans are at 22% and Democrats at 39%, the remainder being mainly unaffiliated.  Surely Republicans need to ask what it is that they are measuring?

Gottheimer attacks constituents to deflect his failures on COVID

By Sussex Watchdog
 
Yesterday, Congressman Josh Gottheimer posted an attack on social media against a group of his constituents who have criticized him for not holding Governor Phil Murphy to account for sending COVID-19 patients into nursing homes – a move which resulted in the deaths of 7,000 vulnerable residents.  Gottheimer has refused to even mention Murphy’s infamous Executive Order 103, which forced nursing homes to bring in COVID carriers even as they kept out family members – leaving those in nursing homes to die alone.
 
Gottheimer attacked these Sussex County residents, claiming they had used “hurtful language” about members of the LGBT community.  This is a reference to the residents’ opposition to Democrat Freeholder candidate Rob Slockbower and his support for requiring the LGBT “rainbow flag” to fly over all government buildings in Sussex County.  Slockbower, calls himself “non-binary” and posts controversial material on his social media page, side-by-side with political campaign material…
 

While Rob Slockbower has the right to post his views, we find it strange that Congressman Gottheimer has no problem embracing Slockbower's candidacy while he accuses Sussex County residents who disagree with Democrat Slockbower of using “hurtful language”.  It is a very strange double-standard.
 
Even more strange is the fact that in 2006, Josh Gottheimer became the number two executive (Global Vice President) with a public relations/lobbying firm that worked for the President of Uganda, Yoweri Kaguta Museveni.  According to Wikipedia, Museveni attempted to “institute the death penalty for homosexuality” and claimed that "European homosexuals are recruiting in Africa".  Museveni later backed off the death penalty and instead Uganda imposed a potential penalty of life imprisonment for "aggravated homosexuality".
 
How could Josh Gottheimer have taken money from a firm with a record like this, and then attack his own constituents when they disagree with his Democrat allies over the mandatory display of LGBT flags on government buildings?  It is a stunning example of political hypocrisy by Gottheimer.
