Use vote to get rid of power brokers, take back gov't

We have the power to fix New Jersey. Our problem is that there is a handful of people elected over and over who control the entire Legislature and government of New Jersey. They filter money to district elections to ensure that their candidate gets elected and will not vote against them.

This absolute power corrupts absolutely and is responsible for the current sorry state of affairs.

But do not despair; there is a solution - your vote. You want to see change and reform? Go to the polls this Election Day and pull the lever for whoever is not currently in office. While this will not get rid of the power brokers, it will reduce their power.

In one or two election cycles, here is what would happen. Elected officials would be in danger of losing their jobs no matter how much money is funded by the power brokers. They could then vote for what is best for New Jersey instead of what is best for the power broker. Eliminate this destructive cycle, and we will take back government.

Copy this, paste it on your refrigerator, send it to everyone you know and mark your calendar so you remember to vote for anyone not in office.
