These pictures are way overdue. These were taken in October when me and Ricky traveled to the Bergen County Republican Organization to hear from Kim Guadagno, Jay Webber and RNC Chairman Michael Steele!

Last night, NJGOP Chairman and Assemblyman for the 26th District, Jay Webber came out and spoke at our inaugural meeting of the 09-10 school year.
Jay Webber spoke out about the gubernatorial race in NJ this year, between Republican Chris Christie and incumbent Democrat Jon Corzine. Jay kept his presentation very topical, talking about how he wants to fix the economy of NJ, where Corzine has created a $9 billion dollar deficit. Additionally, Corzine has raised property taxes 17%, making it more and more expensive to live in NJ. Webber envisions lowering the taxes so that NJ student residents can stay in NJ after graduation and find jobs in their home state.
This is a really exciting race for NJ Republicans, who haven’t won a statewide race since 1997. Jay mentioned that the election is a means to an end, not an end in itself and that the work doesn’t end once the race is won…it’s just the beginning.
Dear College Republicans,
I am excited to begin this new year with you as we fight to get Republicans elected all over New Jersey starting first and foremost with ensuring that Chris Christie is our next governor.
As many of you already know, our first meeting is this Wednesday night, September 16, at 8:30pm in Jubilee Hall room 118. If you don’t know how to get there, we will make sure that someone is outside to direct you.
In order to start the year off right, we have invited the Chairman of the New Jersey Republican Party, Jay Webber, to come and speak at our meeting. He will speak about conservative principles, Republican platforms, and tell us why it is imperative to the success of the party that we get involved and are energetic about this campaign.
I look forward to meeting all of you Wednesday night.
Sincerely,
Gary R. La Spisa, II
President, Seton Hall College Republicans
