I am deeply concerned about the recent ratification of Assembly Bill 3870 on April 29th, 2013. This passing of this bill abhorrently undermines Olmstead Mandate. Equally, this bill undermines the efforts of Governor Christie’s thorough task force examining state developmental centers. Bill A3870 is a regressive policy. People with disabilities should not continue to receive care in a segregated environment when there are cost-effective and equally matched supports in the community. The representatives who have endorsed this bill have not considered the rights of people with disabilities to have fulfilled lives, including their social and emotional health. Additionally, the Assembly support of this bill embarrasses the reputation of New Jersey and our ability and willingness to fully integrate people with disabilities in our society. With the exception of Texas, New Jersey has the largest institutionalized population of people with disabilities living in developmental centers. This begs the question: When will New Jersey join the other states that have completely eliminated institutionalization as a system of care for the disability community? I acknowledge the concerns of your constituents and the families of individuals living in developmental centers; however, we cannot continue to let the fear of the unknown subject people with disabilities to segregation and unfulfilled lives. Community living is a tested model of supports that has been successful in all states that have transitioned from developmental centers to community supports. Moreover, closing developmental centers will allow the state to reallocate the bloated budgets of these centers to provisions in the community. As a resident of New Jersey, I ask you to negate your support of A3780 and redefine your commitment to providing quality lives to people with disabilities. I urge you to halt the progress of this bill in the Senate and reexamine the conclusions of Christie’s task force. Please consider ways in which you can improve the lives of every citizen, rather than vacillating support of one constituent group over another.

There are no Federal funds in Social Security. Social Security was paid for by my employer and myself and other employer's and employees. This money was to be used so that we would have something to live on when we retired or became unable to work. Since Social Security's inception, the Federal Government has been "Borrowing" from Social Security and continues to "Borrow", but hasn't paid any of it back. Please, I beg of you to stop the President from touching our Social Security which we are legally entitled to. It isn't fair that Congress gets Pensions from their previous jobs before they went into Government and then when they are no longer in office, they continue receiving their pensions, and also receive their Salary for the rest of their lives and it's tax free and they also receive free healthcare at taxpayer expense. So please stop the President from touching our Social Security which we worked most our lives for. It is an insurance we paid for so we are entitled to it. If the President wants to balance the bugdet, why not have Congress pay taxes on their salaries? And when they are no longer in office, stop receiving their salaries tax free for the rest of their lives. It goes against the Constitution that our Forefathers created. Yes, there have been ammendments to it, but the basic principles should still be followed. I don't get anywhere close to what I was making when I was working now that I am disabled. Thank you. Sincerely, Susan Rasmussen.

The bipartisan Sandy Bill of Rights passed with unanimous consent of the NJ Legislature, but Gov. Christie vetoed it anyway. Stand with Sandy victims and override Chris Christie's veto!

Sign this petition to make sure that the New York State DREAM Act is included in the budget. Everybody deserves to dream.

Farriers have a lot of control over the life and comfort of a horse. Just like a vet if they make a mistake they can cost the life of the horse and thousands of dollars to the owner. They should be required to prove they have the correct knowledge to shoe a horse before being able to do it. Lives depend on it.
