Governor Murphy finally lost his grip on our legislative process and the emergency power extension failed. Our representatives are finally being forced to do their actual jobs instead of hiding behind executive orders. Stay vigilant because we have to make sure they never let him steal that authority again.

You were elected to represent us as legislators under Article IV of the New Jersey Constitution. Since March 9, 2020, Governor Murphy has ruled by executive order. While it is debatable whether his emergency powers have ever been necessary, it strains reason to believe the Constitutional authority granted to the legislature should continue to be undercut by the Governor after 672 days.

We respectfully request you reject Governor Murphy’s request to extend his authority to govern Covid related issues by executive order. For 672 days, we have had no voice in the legislature regarding Covid related issues. We ask that you, as our elected legislators, retake the authority we elected you to have and govern as the State of New Jersey should be governed. With checks and balances. We may not agree with your legislative decisions; we simply ask that you accept the opportunity – and obligation - to represent us.

The momentum behind this push is proof that people are fed up with Murphy ruling by decree and ignoring our constitutional process. Our legislators are out of excuses for hiding behind these executive orders while our rights remain sidelined. It is time for them to stop acting like spectators and actually do the job they were elected to do.

This has gone on way to long. We have a legislature for a reason, stop letting him rule like a king.

Time for the checks and balances to actually matter again. No more extensions.

The people of NJ deserve to be heard by the representatives they actually voted for not just one man making all the rules.

Phil Murphy abused his power, and has failed NJ. Let’s not allow him to make it worse.

There is no reason for this extension. Policy is not going to “fix” anything. It’s time to give the people back their freedom and let our kids be kids instead of hampering their education and social development.
