Signature needed: The Christie scandal you don't know about yet
Shame on you for following right-wing politicians in Texas and Arizona by kicking Tesla out of New Jersey.
This regulation change serves no purpose but to help car dealer companies and the fossil fuel industry—who fear the popularity of electric cars like Tesla.
Why is this important?
Gov. Chris Christie has unilaterally passed a regulation that blocks automakers from directly selling to consumers in New Jersey, requiring them to go through third-party car dealers instead.
As a direct result, Tesla—the electric car company that reduces our dependence on fossil fuels—must now close its two dealerships in the state.
New Jersey is the third state to kick out Tesla that way, the other two being Arizona and Texas. It is an intentional move on the part of Republican politicians to kill the electric car.
Sign the petition denouncing Gov. Christie for killing the electric car in New Jersey.
