Citizens Beware of "NJOA's Citizens Beware safebackyards.com"
Smearing respected humane leaders must be almost as stimulating
as killing a rare nyala, or a 30-ounce duck. And right up there
with abridging private property rights so that hunters may shoot
into our backyards, endangering our families and our companion
animals. Hunting is a privilege, not a "right." And it does not
belong in the suburbs. Only fanatics feel entitled to shoot at
will, amongst houses and families.
For New Jersey Outdoor Alliance's industry-funded, smear group
colleagues who attack Mothers Against Drunk Driving, see "Who's
Behind These Bills." There is no "below the belt" for Anthony
Mauro. He continues to perpetrate lies about Sierra Club, Humane
Society of the United States, and Animal Protection League. The
federal government has apologized for mis-information doubtless
provided by above groups to tarnish opponents, instead of
dealing with facts.
It takes chutzpah for the “chairman” of an astroturf front for
ammo and gun companies to call anyone a “huckster,” let alone
attempt to define a 24-7 pre-occupation with killing and maiming
defenseless wildlife and abridging property rights to do it --as
“sound science, " the latest excuse offered by the
ecologically
illiterate "Chairman" Mauro.
Hooey.

So, meet the Christie environmental transition team – we must note one error: I worked with John Trela while he was at DEP and he was never DEP Commissioner. I worked with John Spinello while he was at DEP (before he went to EPA with Christie Whitman) – he is highly competent, but has been known to be an “environmental hit man“. I worked with Rhea Brekke while she was at DEP and will be kind and just say I am not impressed. Anthony Mauro has right wing tendencies – he accused NJ environmental groups of “providing cover for eco-terrorists“. See this blog post and exchange I had with Mr. Mauro. (November 25, 2009)
Congressional Candidate Links Colts Neck Gun PAC to "Seedy Underside of New Jersey Politics"
Excerpts from a taped phone conversation between New Jersey Outdoor Alliance (NJOA) Chairman, Anthony Mauro, and another individual who taped the conversation, expose the seedy, underside of New Jersey politics, and detail how Senator Adler and Trenton insiders like Speaker Joe Roberts and Senate President Dick Codey traded promises of legislative favors to secure Adler endorsements in the 3rd Congressional District race this year.
Job-creating businessman and decorated combat veteran Chris Myers says the recording “provides a glimpse into how Trenton works when you’re connected, and how the concerns of ordinary taxpayers and citizens get ignored.”
Myers said Adler’s endorsement by the NJOA was particularly puzzling because of Adler’s long history of being anti-hunting and anti-2nd Amendment in Trenton. Adler actually sponsored legislation to ban the black bear hunt, sponsored legislation to ban handgun ownership by everyone other than “authorized persons” like law enforcement and the military, or people who could prove a “justifiable need,” and received an “F” grade from the National Rifle Association in this congressional race. (see proof below)
“One listen to the tape, and it all becomes crystal clear,” said Myers, who pointed out he had publicly suspected Adler and other Trenton insiders of rigging endorsements, but lacked hard proof until now. “Adler and his Trenton pals traded legislative access and action for endorsements and it’s a disgrace. I wonder how the rank and file members of the New Jersey Outdoor Alliance feel knowing they were sold out, and told to vote for someone who has been historically opposed to the issues they hold most dear.”
