Tell NJ Governor Christie: Hold a "Town Hall" Event During Evening or Weekend Hours!

The Issue

New Jersey Governor Chris Christie has hosted over 30 so-called “town hall” meetings during his administration – but not a single one has been during evening or weekend hours, when most working people can attend.


At one recent “town hall” event in Cherry Hill, New Jersey, Governor Christie said, “It’s so important to show up and express your opinion.” Yet every single one of these taxpayer-funded political rallies has been stacked with disproportionately friendly audiences – a result of careful planning behind each event,excluding the vast majority of middle class taxpayers.


Governor Christie’s so-called “town halls” are anything but the open, inclusive opportunity for dialog that he says they are. Demand that he meet the working people of New Jersey during evening or weekend hours.
