There is Hope for New Jersey and America

With the highest property taxes in the nation, one of the highest per capita total tax burdens in the nation, an overpriced school system, an inability to balance government budgets, a massive loss of job opportunities, and a sliding loss of personal freedoms, this year’s legislative election will be extremely important to the future of NJ.   

In many ways, it will be more important than the NJ Gubernatorial race because the most likely gubernatorial winners and their ties to the status quo will prevent them from salvaging New Jersey from an inevitable collapse. In another words, only a vocal and responsible legislature can reverse the awful trends that are killing New Jersey.   

Like many fellow Citizens, I thought that the results of past legislative elections were so bad for NJ that we would automatically see viable challengers this year. As the NJ primary election began to unfold in late 2008, however, it began to appear like another “me too” event. It didn’t take long to realize that NJ was not going to have the type of legislative leadership that will be needed to reverse its slide to oblivion.   

Although I was a volunteer in various elections since the 1960’s, I never had any intention or interest of being THE candidate. But when it became clear that voters would be denied the choices needed to effectively address the increasing problems that continue to destroy our standard of living and freedoms, I made a last minute decision to run for NJ Assembly.  

When it comes to products or ideas, I can spend hours preaching selling points and bending the ears of anyone who will listen. But when I am the subject of the sale, I do not like to talk about my own merits. Consequently, I had never told anyone that I was the best in any endeavor. I did not even like to permit anyone to take my picture.  

The Changes That I Had to Make    

I can now proclaim, without a doubt, that I am the best candidate in the upcoming New Jersey 14^th District election. No one else has the combination of life experience, leadership in citizen issues, willingness to expose the truth, investigative ability to get to the bottom of issues, and media communications understanding needed to get out the message. And, when it comes to properly representing the real needs of Citizens, there is no match in the other 14^th District candidates.  

And here is the greatest qualification of all.  I will now allow my picture to be taken.  

Every worker in the Modern Whig Party and every announced Modern Whig Candidate is a volunteer. None of us has time to throw away but we all love a Constitutional America.  We are sacrificing our own time and money because of a strong belief that there is a dire need to establish a Party for the rest of us.  

Whether you live in the 14^th District or not, I encourage everyone to participate in this years historic Modern Whig election.  A Modern Whig win in NJ-14 this year would reverberate throughout the nation as we prepare for next year’s Congressional elections. 

Thank You,     

Gene L. Baldassari

Candidate for NJ 14 Assembly

Where is the Choice?

Political power parties work together and things get worse.

Political power parties work together to increase taxes.

When political power parties work together, they destroy quality job opportunities.

Political power parties work together to assure that Government spends more and more, even as Citizens are required to reduce their own personal budgets.

Political power parties work together and freedoms are destroyed.

Political power parties work together and private property rights are attacked.

Legislators are unresponsive to Citizens needs, regardless of political power party.

Americans continue to lose their great Country, regardless of political power party.

In short, voting is meaningless and Citizen lobbying is a waste of time.

How does it happen?

In most cases, it is impossible for a candidate to be nominated by a political power party unless he or she takes an unwritten pledge to support actions that almost guarantee a sinking ship.

Their left/right paradigm forces voters to accept two bad choices. Voting for the better of two devils always results in the wrong selection.

The Modern Whig Party offers a viable alternative to the current voter dilemma. This new movement will select only quality candidates to run under their banner. Modern Whig candidates understand their Constitutional requirement to act in the best interests of Citizens.  As a result, Modern Whig candidates are the only real choices.

Even if there is no Modern Whig candidate in a District, voters will be able to participate and benefit, because good officials ultimately benefit everyone.

And, because of its non-partisan nature, the Modern Whig Party will also consider endorsing extraordinary candidates from “other” Parties, just as it has currently endorsed a Republican Congressional Candidate in New Mexico.

This site is designed to report news and information about the Modern Whig Party and its New Jersey Assembly candidate, Gene Baldassari.  As you look through this site, you will experience a breath of fresh air. You’ll notice a Citizen feedback system that can be implemented at no extra cost to taxpayers, term limits to prevent political dynasties from emerging, non-partisan decisions to eliminate the bad effects of meaningless Power Party bickering, and a platform that is based on the needs of Citizens.
