Vassar Democrats invade New Jersey

This weekend, ten Vassar Democrats ventured over to New Jersey to knock on doors, make calls, and get the word out for the Victory 2009 campaign, Corzine for Governor. We dispersed into the neighborhoods to make it known why we support the Governor, then joined the Governor at the NJ Italian-American Festival, where we strove to see that every person there wore a Corzine sticker before the day's end. The most frequently asked question we were asked was: Why should you care when you're not even from New Jersey? While the Governor's immediate responsibilities lie with the needs and concerns of the residents of his State, the Governor is, in fact, a national figure. Yes, he directly represents solely the residents of his state, but the Governor also conveys his views on national issues through his actions and words. We support a Governor who pledges to create new jobs, who has already worked tirelessly to ensure health insurance for all, and who will listen to what his state has to say.
