Eagle Forum PAC Endorses Lonegan for Governor of New Jersey

For Immediate Release: Thursday, May 28, 2009

"Steve Lonegan is the only candidate for Governor of New Jersey who is going to cut taxes, save traditional marriage, and protect the sanctity of life," Phyllis Schlafly observed. "Eagle Forum PAC enthusiastically endorses his Republican candidacy for Governor."

In the first five months of this year, we have seen same-sex marriage sweep other states in the Northeast, and Governor Jon Corzine has announced his plan to impose same-sex marriage on New Jersey after the election. Only Steve Lonegan will stand up effectively for traditional marriage and save it in New Jersey.

"The recent court victory for traditional marriage in California demonstrates that traditional marriage can be saved even in the most liberal states. But we have to support principled candidates like Steve Lonegan to protect our most sacred institution: marriage," Phyllis Schlafly stated. "Lonegan is the only true pro-life candidate in the race and he will not back down from his principles."

Like Ronald Reagan, Steve Lonegan is the only candidate who attracts support from Democratic voters. Lonegan has consistently won elections in the overwhelmingly Democratic town of Bogota by winning over Democrats. Winning Democratic votes in November is essential for a Republican to defeat Jon Corzine, and only Steve Lonegan has proved he can do that.

Only Steve Lonegan has a track record of cutting government spending. Only Steve Lonegan has a specific plan for "Putting Taxpayers First," the title of his recent book that spells out the details.

These difficult times require electing strong and principled leaders like Steve Lonegan. "A vote for Steve Lonegan is a vote for the future of New Jersey and our country," Phyllis Schlafly added.
