Mandating the flu shots for kids as young as 6mons is another frightening example of a colossal Govt overreach. This should be left solely to parents of kids & to individuals to determine their own medical decisions. https://t.co/RbqGjUZ6IX

Here we go again - another mask mandate.
This is exactly the kind of thing that should be left up to the parents & BOE's to decide. If we've learned anything from this lockdown, it's that these type of mandates to way more harm than good.

This is one of the results of inept mayors embracing the defund the police idiocy. Notice there are no protests over the tragic loss of life. It’s way past time that these elected officials stop the anti-police/defund the police rhetoric.

One of the most serious threats to American democracy and our elections is the proposed H.R. 1 bill. This horrendous piece of legislation would obliterate state safeguards to our elections, such as voter I.D. and allow fraud to run rampant. https://t.co/rf3b2B08Gs

This is why all medical decisions should be left to the individual and their doctor, not some government bureaucrat. Only they can weigh the risks versus the benefits to determine what is best for them.

Even the CDC is saying masks are no longer needed. If the governor truly is interested in “following the science” then why are students still required to wear masks? It’s time to stop with this nonsense and unmask these kids! https://t.co/jLFqPiHXug

Just when you think you’ve seen it all, along comes this. Like a farmer dangles a carrot in front of a mule, the governor is using beer to get young people to take the Covid vaccine.Just give people the information and let them decide for themselves without these silly gimmicks.

At what point do New Jersey citizens come first?Any surplus funds should be used to alleviate the suffocating tax burden on homeowners or the coming catastrophe for renters/landlords as a result of the continued hardline lockdown. Citizens first!

Little if anything has been done for the legal citizens forced to sit on folding chairs in long lines for hours at a time just to renew a registration or license. At what point do the residents of New Jersey come first?

Only in the bizarro world of New Jersey government can one of the worst run agencies in the country be further burdened with allowing illegal aliens to actually apply for drivers permits.

This is affordable housing done right, without some clunky expensive government program and with private funds and volunteer labor. Wishing the new homeowners many years of happiness and great memories!

It is always a pleasure to dedicate a new Habitat for Humanity home - this time in Long Branch. Today’s dedication was for the Kennedy/Morales family - a beautiful family whose excitement and enthusiasm was the best part of the day.

This is why decisions to take any vaccine or have any medical procedure for that matter, should be left up to the individual and their doctor. There should never be a mandate, nor a requirement for so-called “vaccine passports” to move freely in society. It’s freedom of choice.

It’s time to end cancel culture and the bullying tactics that eliminate real debate and dialogue on issues.

No American citizen should have to disclose their medical history simply to move about and participate in society!

[Gerry Scharfenberger @GScharfenberger]

As a number of states pass legislation prohibiting the requirement for vaccine passports, New Jersey must do its part to protect the rights of its citizens.

Proposals such as this should frighten every American who values their freedom and privacy. It’s safe to say the lawsuits would be filed before the ink dried on the legislation.https://t.co/p8JxZuC1pu

Another day, another burden on the taxpayers. Bill A 4830, which would create so-called “early voting” is both unnecessary and a waste of taxpayer dollars. First, we already have early voting in New Jersey through the vote by mail system.Second and most important,

[Gerry Scharfenberger @GScharfenberger]

the taxpayers will get slammed with the estimated $80 million price tag to implement this. After three years of massive changes to our voting system and numerous problems identified during that time, the last thing New Jerseyeans need is to und another voting-related boondoggle.
