NEW JERSEY - GREAT NEWS- ESPECIALLY IF DOJ DOESN'T SUE!

Governor Christie Deals Cap & Trade A Death Blow –
Pulls New Jersey Out Of RGGI Cap & Trade Scheme!

Americans for Prosperity's year-long campaign to kill the RGGI Cap & Trade scheme has resulted in a major victory for New Jersey taxpayers!
Today, Governor Christie dealt Cap & Trade a death blow – one that could well signal not just the end of RGGI but the end to any effort to implement a job-destroying Cap & Trade energy tax in America .
At a press conference today at the statehouse in Trenton , Governor Christie announced his decision to use his executive authority to withdraw New Jersey from the ten-state scheme.

"RGGI is nothing more than a tax on electricity, a tax on our residents and on businesses with no discernible effect on our environment," Christie said. "We remain completely committed to the idea that we have a responsibility to make the environment of our state and world better. We're not going to do it by participating in gimmicky programs that don't work."

Governor Christie deserves enormous credit for taking this stand on behalf of New Jersey. The Governor easily could have succumbed to mounting pressure from the left and its many environmental special interest groups.
Instead, Governor Christie stood tall knowing that this was the right thing to do.
Governor Christie will no doubt come under attack from the left for his decision and you and I need to lend him our support.
I urge you to call Governor Christie now at 609-292-6000 to thank him for taking this stand on behalf of New Jersey !
Additionally, a tremendous debt of gratitude goes out to those New Jersey legislators who have sponsored the repeal effort – in particular, Assemblywoman Alison Littell McHose (R-24), Assemblyman Michael Patrick Carroll (R-25), Senator Mike Doherty (R-23) and Sen. Steve Oroho (R-24), primary sponsors of the repeal bills in the legislature. These legislators were the first to step up and lead the fight against RGGI and they, too, deserve our thanks and appreciation.
Today's victory is also a credit to you, our valued AFP citizen activist. Over the past year, many of you have contacted your legislators, signed petitions, written letters to the editor. Thanks to your dedication, Cap & Trade is one giant step closer to being tossed on the ash heap of history!
Simply put, you are making a difference in the cause of liberty and economic freedom!
Now, you and I need to help put the final nails in the RGGI coffin by supporting legislators in  Maine , New Hampshire, and Delaware that are opposing RGGI legislation and working hard to pull their states out of this Cap & Trade scheme!
