Conservative Party (New Jersey)

The Conservative Party(New Jersey){a.k.a the NJ Conservative Party} is looking for people willing to volunteer to be County Chapter leaders for 20 of the 21 counties(the only exception is Middlesex County, where Reverend Steven Maness is doing an exceptional job).

According to the by-laws & structure laid down by our original founder, the late Tom Blomquist, the County chapters are truly the backbone of our party. Once each chapter holds an organizational meeting, where officers are elected, and a bank account & treasurer are set up(and the proper paperwork is filed with NJELEC), The county chapters can vote to either nominate candidates for office to run under our banner(and then help them collect enough petition signatures to get them on the ballot) or endorse candidates for office from the two established parties that are willing to support our state and national platforms & principles. The county chapters can also meet as many times as they need to in order to assign workers to specific candidates,etc. Since it is too late for this election cycle to get candidates on the ballot(unless we have people willing to run as write-in candidates), the focus would be on endorsements for the General Election this fall.

I invite all New Jerseyans who read this message to consider becoming a County Chapter leader. As part of our ongoing efforts to expand our structure, It is our intention to move up some of the current county chapter leaders(once replacements have been found for them) to the “Conservative Advisory Team”. Anyone wishing to become a CPNJ County Chapter Leader please contact me or Mike Illions at our email addresses listed on the “Contact Us” page. For more information on our County Chapters please visit www.njcp.org  Thanks and we hope to hear from you soon!!!

TO THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEW JERSEY/OUR INVITATION TO YOU
     The New Jersey Conservative Party, now known as the Conservative Party(New Jersey), an offical affiliate of the Conservative Party of the United States of America, is a grass-roots citizens political organization. Our by-laws(currently availible at our old website, www.njcp.org ) establish a decision-making process that is devastatingly simple. Each member has a vote on our platform positions, whether we field candidates for public office or endorse conservative-minded candidates from other parties. These decisions are made on the basis of : ONE MAN, ONE WOMAN, ONE VOTE. We are the ONLY political party in New Jersey which is ruled by the members and NOT political bosses!!! We believe that ideas are important and have consquences. Whether it is fighting to make government spending details accessible to the public or placing a limit on political terms, We are interested in getting the job. It doesn’t matter who gets the credit for it. Our message to the people of New Jersey is: YOU can join with other like-minded citizens and with the strength of numbers, offer the voters a real alternative to the status quo.

There is a phrase that supports personal activism, “Lead, Follow, or get out of the way!” It has application today regarding this new website and political movement
It is time to shed the “I’m a Conservative-Republican or Conservative-Democrat” label because it just positions the conservative within a sub-group of the party. A conservative hyphenated Republican or Democrat is not participating in a true Conservative movement. We need to face up to the reality that we conservatives are being used because we have no opportunity to “Lead” from the sub-group. And today’s political results of either major party has resulted in many conservatives deciding to no longer “Follow.”

We conservatives must now “Lead.” It is time to return to core conservative values – Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness. It is time that we embrace these core values within a formal Conservative Party structure. Some way, somehow, we, together, can achieve that end in your state. This new conservative party movement is also igniting in all 50 states.

So we invite you to join in the formation of a party that is built for “true” conservatives. It is a movement that is predicated upon the founding events and documents of this great nation. We understand fully that you may be reluctant to leave your present political party affiliation. Many voters, after years as members of other parties, made a decision to leave the party, which was a wrenching event. Our party membership provides for supporting members. Members that will help today, but leaves the decision to change party registration to another day. If you choose that course, I assure you, you are still most welcome to join in our effort to return our country to a constitutional principled government.
