Stop the DEP Waiver Rule
Earlier this year, Governor Christie set out to change the rules and allow corporations to end-run long-standing environmental laws. Essentially, this would weaken over 100 necessary protection guidelines. The Christie Administration’s radical, regressive push would put not only New Jersey’s land, air and water in harm’s way, but the health of our families, as well.
This DEP waiver rule is a reckless policy proposal that we must battle back against. In fact, The Star-Ledger calls it “the most dangerous, overreaching and potentially corrupting document in Trenton. It is the nuke that would give the Christie administration near-unlimited power to set aside decades of hard-won environmental protections for ... any reason it wants.”
Please sign the petition below to show your support for New Jersey's environment, and to tell Governor Christie you don't want big polluters ruining our land, air and water.

Gov. Christie's 'Jersey Comeback' Ignores Economic Security for Middle-Class Families
January 25, 2012
Nobody likes to highlight their own failures. So it’s no wonder in his second State of the State Address, Governor Christie did not even touch on the issue of economic security. While most of New Jersey families scrape by paycheck to paycheck, the central message of Chris Christie’s vision for our state is that we’re in “comeback” mode.
Despite the fact that poll after poll still indicates the overriding concern of the public is the economy, the Governor’s message relied heavily on platitudes and empty rhetoric, leaving any reference to bolstering the livelihoods of middle and low income families on the cutting room floor.
