Dear Friends,

The Seton Hall University College Republicans proudly support Kathleen Donovan in her bid to become the next Executive of Bergen County.

In a time when families throughout Bergen County are suffering from the worst economy in America in decades, taxes are on the rise, burdening Bergen’s tax payers with ever larger bills from municipalities, the county and state. With the Obama Administration and the Pelosi-Reid Congress’ decision to allow the Bush-era tax cuts to expire, the pain of higher taxes will be even greater for everyone.

Elected leaders across the country, from the municipal and county level to the federal government, have been taxing and spending for far too long. Many politicians raise taxes; few cut them.

Kathe Donovan is the one candidate in the race for Bergen County Executive who has proven she can do more with less money. In her twenty-two year tenure as County Clerk, she had found ways to save Bergen taxpayers’ money each and every year. As Executive she will partner with municipalities to eliminate redundant services, saving money and resources.

Dear Friends,

The Seton Hall University College Republicans are proud to announce our support of Roland Straten for Congress in New Jersey’s 8th Congressional District.

With our endorsement of Straten, we join with the New Jersey College Republicans and the College Republican National Committee to demand that the Obama administration and United States Congress end their fiscal irresponsibility. College Republicans nationwide are stepping up, telling Members of Congress, the United States Senate and the Obama White House to stop putting “their debt on our tab.” To Congressman Pascrell, we say “Don’t Your Debt On Our Tab.”

Pascrell has “served” New Jersey’s 8th District since 1996. In that time, he has voted consistently with Democratic leadership to increase the size government, to increase taxes and to increase spending, setting our nation on an unsustainable path. Should Americans continue to send legislators like Bill Pascrell to Washington, D.C., America could very well become the next Greece. America is, in fact, not “too big to fail” as Democratic leaders have told us. continue reading…

Hey everyone, it’s election day. School board and school budgets are up for a vote today.

I urge every one of you to get out and vote “no” on your budget and then push the button for the most fiscally responsible people running for board. I.e. not the incumbents.

This weekend, 14 Seton Hall College Republicans attended the 2010 Conservative Political Action Conference in Washington, D.C. where they heard from conservative leaders, pundits and activists all while having the opportunity to network and meet with members of conservative organizations from around the United States. Here are just a few of some of the speakers the SHUCRs had the opportunity to hear speak.

Today’s quote of the day goes to State Senator Michael Doherty (R- Washington Township), a staunch conservative, who is backing moderate Congressman Leonard Lance for reelection over a more conservative challenger in the primary.

When asked why, Doherty had this to say: “there are better targets to go after. Democrats, for instance.”

Peter Schiff, who is running in the Republican primary for US Senate in Connecticut, just put out a good editorial on the Democrat’s next planned stimulus package “jobs bill.”

Schiff points out the noted “crowd out effect” that you may have learned about if you’ve taken a macroecon course.

Basically, there is only a limited amount of money that people in an economy are putting out to lend (just like there are only so many houses or cars on sale). The more the government runs a deficit, and has to borrow, the less lendable money there is to go around for everyone else.
