FORMER HOUSE SPEAKER GINGRICH ENDORSES STRATEN

FORMER HOUSE SPEAKER GINGRICH JOINS NJECPAC & NJ-IEC IN ENDORSING ROLAND STRATEN FOR CONGRESS.

As our readers know the NJECPAC and member organization NJ-IEC have both endorsed Roland Straten for Congress.

Careful consideration was given to the voting record of his opponent, incumbent Congressman Bill Pascrell. Members of the NJECPAC Board of Governors have repeatedly visited the Congressman’s Washington Office to speak to him about the issues that are important to Electrical Contractors and Small Business to no avail.

Roland Straten’s positions are aligned with the positions of NJECPAC on small business issues effecting Electrical Contractors and Small Businesses alike.

We are proud to have former House Speaker Gingrich join us in endorsing Roland Straten for US Congress.

FORMER HOUSE SPEAKER GINGRICH ENDORSES STRATEN

MONTCLAIR – Former Republican Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich, General Chairman of American Solutions for Winning the Future, has announced his endorsement of Roland Straten, Republican candidate for Congress from the 8^th Congressional District.

In an October 5, 2010 letter to Straten, Gingrich said, “Policies you are supporting will not only help transform government but they will also provide lower taxes, less government, and real job creation.  Those policies, not the Democrats’ policies of higher taxes, more government and job killing legislation, are what will finally put America back on the road to recovery.”   Straten’s opponent, career politician Bill Pascrell, is a liberal Democrat who votes consistently for the destructive policies decried by Gingrich: government-controlled health care, massive deficit spending, and burdensome regulations and taxation that are crushing our economy, not encouraging recovery.

“I’m pleased that my candidacy has been endorsed by former Speaker of the House Gingrich,” Straten said.  “Now it’s time to retire Bill Pascrell, who votes for what’s best for Obama and Pelosi, not for the people here in New Jersey’s 8^th District.”

Straten says Race to the Top Controversy

The "Race to the Top" controversy would never have arisen, if eighth district Republican congressional candidate Roland Straten's position was policy.

"The system is broken," comments Straten. "The federal government takes billions from the State and then makes the State plead for some of it back by requiring a 1,000 page application for Race to the Top funding.”

Straten's point is that the federal government is spending too much and is much too intrusive into the States' operations and prerogatives. The State of New Jersey should decide how to spend its money rather than sending it to Washington and have Washington to decide whether or not New Jersey can have it back.

"The money to fund the grant should never have left New Jersey in the first place," Straten emphasizes. "The federal government taxes us, and then requires us to contend for our own money!"

A fiscal conservative, Straten believes that the federal debt and deficit are the most significant domestic threat to the nation. He notes that the federal government has to borrow from the future to fund such programs and the departments that administer them.
