We have a website, we have emails that reach about 5,000 people each week, we have Facebook and X, and of course we have our talks on the radio.
Of course, if you have some personal grievance like your neighbor is making too much noise or they didn't pick up your trash on time, you have to deal with that on your own. But if you have an issue that affects the liberty and prosperity of everybody, we want to hear about it and we want to help you.
FAKE RECYCLING IS A TYPICAL LIBERTY ISSUE FOR BREAKFAST DISCUSSIONS:
Fake recycling is a typical liberty issue. The government forces all of us to sort out our garbage. Then we waste time and fossil fuel washing the plastic and the cans so we don't attract bugs. We waste salaries and gas having it picked up on different days by different crews with different sets of trucks. And it's all fake. It's all a total scam. They hardly recycle anything. They put your plastic on trucks and take it to ships in Bayonne. From there it goes to some third world country in Asia or Africa. There it gets dumped near a river and ends up polluting our oceans. So, if you have an issue like that, and think you are the only person bothered by it, you should come to our Saturday breakfast and talk about it. You may find a lot of folks who agree with you. We also invite everyone to visit our website at libertyandprosperity.com a few times a week. And please subscribe to our free weekly email updates.

4 BIG LIES IN 30 SECOND MIKIE SHERRILL TV AD.
But to go back to, Mikie Sherrill. She's the Democrat who's running for, Governor against Republican Jack Ciattarelli. It is absolutely infuriating to watch her 30 second TV spots spouting one blatant lie after another. And, of course, anyone who listens to this program or comes to our breakfasts or website, or gets our emails recognize those lies. However, most people don't. That is why is is the job of everybody listening to this program, and everybody who follows us to talk to our spouses, our kids, and grandkids and everyone we know to tell them the truth.
These lies are more serious than whether she helped cover up cheating at the Naval Academy years ago. Mikie Sherrill did not graduate in June with the rest of her class. She had to stay at the Naval Academy for an extra eight months. She says she didn't cheat, but that she would not cooperate with the investigation to say who did. That's part of the issue. a bigger part was the Democrat agenda of so-called "diversity, equity and inclusion". Democratic Presidents like Clinton, Obama and Biden forced the service academies to take in a lot of people who were just not qualified to be there in the first place. So, of course, they created a culture of cheating to get people to graduate. And it looks like one of the people who was cheating was Mikey Sherrill's husband, who was also in the academy. So you have that whole mess.
But to me, the biggest lies are in the Mikie Sherrill TV commercials. I've never before seen so many lies packed into one 30 second spot like that before. They start by pretending that Mikie Sherrill was a heroic combat helicopter pilot. They don't tell you that Mikie Sherrill spent most of her time in the military behind a desk, working on some headquarters on land. Her main achievement was being an expert on Russian policy for the admiral in Naples, Italy.
Then Mikie Sherrill says, "On day one, I'm going to declare a state of emergency to freeze all electric bills for one year. Now how can she possibly do it. First, she can't claim there is an emergency. We have a shortage of electricity because Governor Murphy shut down six productive electric power plants during the past eight years and never replaced them. We all know that one of them, was by the big Garden State Parkway bridge near Ocean City Bridge at Mile Post 30 at Beesley's Point. Mikie Sherrill never called that an emergency. She said this was good. She we should pay "an arm and a leg" for clean energy. Of course, there's nothing clean at all about solar panels and wind turbines. They don't work because you can't power an electric grid that with energy that shuts down every time a cloud goes by or every time the wind changes speed. You have to have back-up plants burning coal, gas or oil. And since we don't have those plants in New Jersey anymore, we have to buy that electricity from hundreds of miles away.
Second, Mike Sherrill can't use a so-called state-of emergency to freeze electric rates. She ought to know that we have something called a Constitution. That Constitution says that the government can't take private property without "just compensation". The government can't force a private business to sell something for less than it costs to make it or less than it costs to buy it.
But let's go along and say Mikie Sherrill does have the power to declare a State of Emergency. Suppose Governor Sherrill says that Atlantic City Electric can't charge customers extra to buy expensive electricity out of state. What happens then? How are we going to get electricity if New Jersey is now producing only half of the electricity we use each day. Do you think those power plants hundreds of miles away are going to lose money selling electricity to New Jersey? Where's the money going to come from? Higher taxes?
The bottom line is that Mikie Sherrill is lying through her teeth. She knows that he so-called "state of emergency" would get thrown out by the courts in less than an hour. So this part of Mikie Sherrill's TV ad is ridiculous. The only one who makes any sense is Republican Jack Ciattarelli. He has been telling us for years that the only way to bring down electric rates is to reopen, rebuild or replace the six power plants that, Governor Murphy shut down. Some of them you could re-open by clicking a switch. You could quickly re-open the closed nuclear power plant at Oyster Creek in Lacey Township. The power plant at Beesley's Point is a bigger problem. The Democrats couldn't just put that power plant in mothballs to see if the wind turbines worked. They demolished the whole plant, the smokestack and the cooling tower. But you can even rebuild that quickly. There are natural gas pipelines nearby. The electric transmission lines are still in place. So is the zoning and permits. You can do fast track construction there and get something with natural gas open pretty quickly.
So everything in that Mikie Sherrill TV ad is total lie. I have to admire how Democrats can pack so many lies into just 30 seconds!
And I forgot to mention one more big lie. She claims she was a tough prosecutor. No, Mikie Sherill was not a prosecutor. That is a lie! If you look at her resume, you see she spent four years with a woke law firm that sued big companies to promote all sorts of woke causes. Then she worked at the U.S. Attorney's office in Newark for five years. But she wasn't a prosecutor. Her title was "outreach and re-entry coordinator". Her job was to get criminals counseling, housing and jobs when they got out of prison. In her last year, they made Mikie Sherrill a prosecutor to fluff up her resume. However, she quit before she did any real prosecuting. They had her plea bargain about two dozen marijuana possession cases during her last few months. Then she looked for a job in what she called the field of criminal justice reform, whatever that is. But she never found a job. After a year, she started running for Congress.
Then in 2017, somebody gave Mikie Sherrill $2.7 million to win the Democratic Primary Election for the House of Representatives. And in 2018, Mike Sherrill won the Democratic nomination. Then she defeated the Republican Jay Weber during the Nancy Pelosi Blue Wave of 2018. By the way, I won the Republican Primary election that same year with only $30,000.
So now you see all the lies in Mikie Sherrill's 30 second TV ad. She pretends that she was a combat helicopter pilot, but she spent most of her time in the navy on land behind a desk. She says she's going to freeze electric bills, but she knows she can't. She calls herself a prosecutor, but all she did was help criminals.
And then she has another ad where she claims she's going to cut property taxes. But she can't do that either. That is because New Jersey has a state income tax that is supposed to be dedicated to property tax relief. However, the Democrats have misused that income tax for the past 40 years. Instead of using that money to cut everybody's property taxes, Democrats use 80% of that money to cut property taxes in just a handful of Democrats run cities. Everyone in suburban Republican towns pays more. There's no way a Democrat like Mikie Shirrell is going to take income tax money away from corrupt, mismanaged Democrat cities to cut property taxes in well-run Republican suburbs.
By the way, this is why you have such low property taxes in towns like Atlantic City, Pleasantville, Bridgeton , Camden and Newark even though you have so much waste, fraud and corruption there. Meanwhile, all the suburbs that vote Republican get clobbered with high property taxes. This is what Democrat Governor Corzine did, this is what Murphy did and Democrat Mikie Sherrill will do the same thing if she's elected.
