New Jersey was once a great place to live

We the people of New Jersey can no longer afford the debts one politician owes another politician. The time for change is now! Politicians must reckon with the fact that they, as chosen representatives, are elected "to do the will of the people." The voters must reckon with the fact that they can begin to master their own fate by exercising their right to vote. To the victor always goes the spoils, and if you don't vote, don't complain. In the current climate and course of political action today, in order to continue to live, work or do business in New Jersey one will have to become a masochist. The issues of failure of government, eminent domain, and corruption - there's little that's not for sale in New Jersey - are destroying from within what was once a beautiful state. The slogan should be "N.J., it once was a great place to live."
