THE BATTLE OF THE CENTURYBy Barbara Davis, CHATP Co-Chair | April 9, 2011 The noisy, ugly demonstrations which occurred in State capitols across our country last month graphically illustrate the ‘Battle of the Twenty-First Century.’ This battle is not about mean governors and selfish tea party members versus teachers or firefighters or policemen, as portrayed by the media. It is really not even about collective bargaining or workers’ rights. Rather it is the life-and-death struggle between the hard-working, hard-pressed citizen-taxpayer pitted against powerful union bosses engaged in pay-to-play politics with liberal/progressive legislators. The ultimate agenda of such union bosses is the redistribution of wealth in America though continuing control of our government. Play-to-play is an insidious and cynical system of moneyed forces out-spending opponents in elections so they will receive favors and lucrative contracts from the elected officials. Those recipients then support the politicians in re-election and so on. With each cycle this partnership accumulates more power and more money (i.e., our money, in the form of higher taxes and other costs) and is therefore more and more difficult to defeat. Miraculously, in recent elections many of these high-spenders — governors as well as legislators-- were ousted by informed voters. Now, in places such as Madison, WI, Columbus, OH, and Trenton, NJ, voters are having to fight all over again, in a sense, the entrenched losers. With no consideration for nearly bankrupt state governments or financially strapped taxpayers, (which of course include both public and private sector union members), the power combo of union bosses and their politician buddies hurl vitriolic, and often false, rhetoric at the challengers. In New Jersey Governor Christie has brilliantly re-framed the whole public workers’ pension/benefits argument by pointing out that he is not targeting teachers or any public workers per se, but rather their union bosses, who have become rich and powerful on union dues. With pay-to-play union bosses are able to bargain across the table from the very politicians they put into office. No wonder collective bargaining — which is not intrinsically evil —has become an insupportable ‘right.’ Particularly in our state where binding arbitration generally ends in victory for labor, the taxpayer is effectively left out of the process altogether, and simply stuck with the bill. Now the unions/politicians have cleverly reframed the issue as an effort to remove public sector collective bargaining as a tool in labor disputes, and polls show that many members of the public may be buying that. First of all, I cannot find that ‘right’ anywhere in the Constitution or Bill of Rights, can you? Second, there has been no threat, either in Wisconsin or other states to strip workers of that privilege in salary negotiations, only in the budget-busting retirement and health benefits where public workers’ contributions are far less than those in the private sector. Taxpayers simply cannot support that inflated level of compensation any longer. Contrary to the unions’ claims that they are fighting to preserve the middle class, they are actually hastening its demise. CHATP URGES CAMDEN COUNTY RESIDENTS TO REMAIN VIGILANT REGARDING CONSOLIDATION OF POLICE AND FIRE FORCESBy CHATP Staff | March 23, 2011Cherry Hill, New Jersey (March 23, 2011) -- The Cherry Hill Area Tea party (CHATP) urges Camden County residents to remain vigilant regarding possible consolidation of the Countys municipal police and fire forces. CHATPs call comes ahead of a meeting scheduled for Wednesday, March 23, at Camden County College in Blackwood, New Jersey. The meeting between New Jersey Governor Chris Christie and State Senate President Stephen M. Sweeney, together with other state, county, and local leaders, is expected to examine potential approaches to consolidation of municipal police and fire service into a Camden County-wide system. If consolidation is not structured equitably, or if it is not contingent upon a vote of affected residents, it poses real risks for taxpayers, said CHATP Co-Chairwoman Barb Davis. Middle class taxpayers face the prospect of having to fund a disproportionate share of the costs of consolidation, while at the same time receiving a disproportionate share of the benefits. Underlying CHATPs concern is the current environment in which many taxpayers in Camden County receive relatively little for their contributions to State and County government. For example, middle class communities such as Cherry Hill currently receive back from Trenton only eight cents of every dollar their residents pay in state income tax, or a return of -92%. By contrast, the City of Camden receives back from Trenton $48.33 of every dollar its residents pay in state income tax, or a return of 4833%. As a result of perennially poor leadership and a lack of fiscal accountability in cities such as Camden, those cities have been unable to fund their public safety operations fully and have been forced to trim those operations, said Angela Pizzo, CHATPs Co-Chairwoman. We are concerned that the Camden County Board of Chosen Freeholders, rather than addressing this leadership gap, proposes instead to have middle class taxpayers bail out those cities by redistributing their police and fire services to a common pool. CHATP also calls upon Governor Christie, Senate President Sweeney, and county and local leaders to pledge that any consolidation plan will be put to the vote of affected residents, for example through a ballot measure. According to Barbara Davis: We will of course withhold final judgment on any consolidation plan pending its release in draft form. That being said, our members recently attended a meeting of the Camden County Board of Chosen Freeholders in Cherry Hill in which it was suggested that County and local leaders could consolidate without putting the matter to a vote of affected residents. Police and fire services are too critical to the public safety and finances of our towns to deny local residents the opportunity to vote on any plan. Furthermore, CHATP is concerned that police and fire consolidation could be pushed through without adequate consideration of its complexities. As everyone knows, the devil is in the details, said Barbara Davis. An issue often overlooked or downplayed in consolidation efforts is how the combined system will deal with preexisting contractual obligations and debt of each merging force. For example, when the Township of Cherry Hill consolidated its fire operations in the early 1990s, it failed to consider fully the preexisting lease obligations and debt of the fire companies it acquired, and it subsequently lost a court case in which it tried to wash its hands of some of those obligations. At this point we have no concept of the size and scope of the preexisting, liabilities, debt, and lawsuits carried by some of the municipalities that would be consolidated, raising the real specter that middle class taxpayers could be called upon to shoulder both substantial preexisting costs as well as future costs. Despite the challenges, CHATPs Angela Pizzo notes that the current examination of consolidation has the potential to be positive and that Governor Christie and others should be commended for at least weighing the options. Tea parties are not opposed to police and fire consolidation in all shapes and forms, especially if the consolidation plan includes specific, demonstrable, and long-term tax cuts, she said. In fact, certain aspects of our police and fire, such as Camden Countys county-wide dispatch system, are already consolidated today. That being said, consolidation must not be undertaken lightly, must be subject to the consent and the vote of residents, and must be structured in a way that mitigates the potential for political and financial abuses.CHATP and Other Local Tea Parties Call On New Jersey Residents to Reject Outside Union Interference In State AffairsBy CHATP Staff | February 24, 2011 Cherry Hill, New Jersey (February 24, 2011) -- Local tea parties today called on New Jersey residents to reject attempts by the Washington, D.C.-based AFL-CIO to perpetuate an unsustainable public sector benefits and and pension system in their state. The Cherry Hill Area Tea Party, along with the Greenwich Tea Party Patriots of South Jersey, Independence Hall Tea Party Association, Tea Party Patriots of Southern New Jersey, and West Jersey Tea Party, put out the call in response to a rally planned by the AFL-CIO and other unions on Friday, February 25th, in Trenton. The AFL-CIO is busing into New Jersey its national leadership, including AFL-CIO national president Richard L. Trumka, as well as members from Wisconsin and other states, in an effort to dictate to those of us who live and pay taxes in New Jersey how our state should spend its revenue, said Barbara Davis, co-chair of the Cherry Hill Area Tea Party. Clearly this smacks of outside interference in New Jersey affairs from a union more interested in dues than the financial survival of our state. The public employee pension system in New Jersey is currently underfunded by more than $53 billion, with that number expected to grow to more than $180 billion over the next three decades if no immediate action is taken, said Teri Adams, president of the Independence Hall Tea Party Association. Additionally, the healthcare benefits system covering public employees is underfunded by more than $67 billion. Yet union bosses out of Washington want New Jersey taxpayers to continue to suck it up as they drive our state into bankruptcy, she added. According to Susan Lord, founder and president of Tea Party Patriots of Southern New Jersey: New Jersey tea parties respect the contributions of our public sector employees to the health and welfare of our state, including the contributions of our police, fire, teachers, and other public workers. However state residents believe strongly in a meaningful balance between public sector benefits and fiscal responsibility, particularly at a time when New Jersey continues to suffer the effects of a deep recession, one of the highest tax burdens in the U.S, and an underemployment rate exceeding 15% . A keynote speaker at this coming Fridays AFL-CIO event will be national AFL-CIO president Richard L. Trumka, who also serves on the board of directors of the Economic Policy Institute an organization managed by members of the Democratic Socialists of America and others. The National Right to Work Legal Defense Foundation has cited Mr. Trumka for past union-related activities that allegedly included militancy, disregard for the rule of law, and condoning of violence by union operatives. New Jersey tea party members are sick and tired of out-of-state government and union bureaucrats telling us how to run our state," said Barbara Davis. "We saw the same strong-arm tactics used recently in Wisconsin, where the White House and unions from outside Wisconsin bused their supporters to the state capitol at Madison in an effort to attempt to overcome overwhelming support for Governor Scott Walkers overhaul of the Wisconsin public workers' pension and healthcare benefit system. Clearly such groups primary interest is preserving the dues from their membership and their voter base, regardless of the financial wreck such tactics leave in their wake at the state level.The Cherry Hill Area Tea Party (www.chatp.org), Greenwich Tea Party Patriots of South Jersey (www.greenwichteaparty.com), Independence Hall Tea Party Association (www.independencehalltpa.com), Tea Party Patriots of Southern New Jersey (www.tppsnj.com), and West Jersey Tea Party (www.bctp.webs.com) are independent, grassroots organizations that share a commitment to limited government, fiscal responsibility, and lower taxes. Your NJ Taxes: 5 Top Issues For 2011By CHATP Staff | February 20, 2011 CHATP's agenda in the coming months will address five top issues that will profoundly impact our members and other state taxpayers in 2011. 1.Police/Fire Consolidation: Will Camden County's fire and police be combined into a county-wide system? How will such governmental redistribution of wealth impact Camden County taxpayers?2.Obamacare: Will NJ follow the expected action of the PA State Legislature in opting out of Obamacare? Or will NJ continue to sit on its hands and allow Obamacare to impact adversely taxpayers' pocketbooks and their healthcare?3.Redistricting: The NJ Apportionment Commission will redraw state legislative and federal congressional districts in the coming weeks and months. How can we help prevent liberals from stacking the deck of future elections against fiscal conservatives and other NJ taxpayers?4.Public Pension/Health Benefits: Time is running out on Governor Christie's efforts to stop NJ's economic freefall which is the result of tens of billions of dollars in unfunded public pension and health benefits. How can taxpayers assist the Governor in reforming the public pension/health benefits system?5.NJ Supreme Court: Liberals are blocking Governor Christie's efforts appoint more conservative justices to the left-leaning NJ Supreme Court. How can we support the Governor at a time when the Court is revisiting matters impacting taxpayers' pocketbooks including Abbott school district fuding and COAH (affordable housing).NJ Governor Chris Christie Added to Our Links and DocumentsBy Jack Sullivan | January 15, 2011Follow Governor Christie online by connecting to the Governor's Twitter blog, which islisted under "Blogs" on our Links page.

The plot tells of capitalism's struggle against Big Government – a theme that resonates with American conservatives today, particularly in an age of Occupy Wall Street. The movie's box office success earlier this year took liberal Hollywood insiders by surprise. Mr. Aglialoro will explain how he will build upon that success and discuss whether there will be an “Atlas Shrugged, Part II.”Mr. Aglialoro – CEO of a highly successful U.S. corporation, one of Forbes's capitalists to watch for 2011, and a champion poker player – is a Camden County native.LOCATION: Open Door Alliance Church, 904 Cooper Road, Voorhees, NJ In conjunction with other local tea partiesALL ARE WELCOME.
