Meiswinkle Calls for Congressional Accountability in State Job Loss

TRENTON — Independent candidate David Meiswinkle, running on a ticket of Middle Class Empowerment has stated in a release that if elected Governor, he would hold all New Jersey Congressmen and United States Senators accountable for federal legislation and trade policies they supported which have contributed to massive job drain and higher taxes in New Jersey.
Meiswinkle asserts that much of the increased taxes in New Jersey are the result of the loss of manufacturing and industrial sector jobs. Most have gone to Mexico and overseas to countries where United States corporations are making huge profits utilizing cheap labor at the expense of the economic health of the United States, their country of origin.
Meiswinkle stated that he would call Congressmen as well the United States Senators to Trenton on an emergent basis. They would be requested to come to the State House and address the New Jersey State Assembly and the Senate to explain why federal legislation has been crafted to make the United States a country of services at the expense of manufacturing and industry, and what policies they can propose to reverse the loss of manufacturing and industry from our state.
If the Congressmen are not receptive to changing the federal trade policies, Meiswinkle made clear that he supports, initiative, referendum and recall; and he will move to implement it. Meiswinkle explained, “We will apply recall to Federal officials elected by New Jersey residents. If they do not change these trade policies to favor our States, and bring our jobs back home, they will be dismissed through a recall petition of the citizens and replaced by more patriotic representatives.” Meiswinkle stated, “The Congress is supposed to represent their constituents, New Jersey citizens, not special corporate interests or Wall Street banking interests”. “New Jersey citizens want and deserve jobs,”
In addition, Meiswinkle said that he would host a Governor’s conference and invite to New Jersey all United States Governors to discuss the federal trade policies that have so disastrously altered the United States economic landscape. Meiswinkle asserted, “Federal policies have affected the State economies. Washington D.C. remains aloof and removed from the States and with its thousand of bureaucrats does not feel the sting of these policies, as we on the State level do.” Meiswinkle stated that, “economic wellbeing of New Jersey has become a States rights issue which he intends to defend.”
