Bayshore Tea Party Group to Lead Demonstration to End Partisan Gerrymandering
Together with groups and voters from around the State, BTPG will gather in New Brunswick
Middletown, NJ – As reports leak out about the usual “Soprano State” dealings in New Brunswick- incumbents attempting to persuade the Apportionment Commission to protect their jobs and “their” districts-the Bayshore Tea Party Group together with other concerned groups and voters from around the State will gather at Monument Park in New Brunswick to demand an end to partisan Gerrymandering in New Jersey
Where: Monument Square
317 George St.
New Brunswick, NJ
When: 7 PM, Wednesday March 30, 2011
Since having released a map of unimpeachable Constitutionality on March 25, 2011-one wholly devoid of illicit considerations such as the protection of incumbent legislators-“The People’s Map” has received widespread and bipartisan praise from scholars such as Monmouth University’s Patrick Murray as well as from individual Republicans, Democrats and unaffiliated voters. The support from such disparate political viewpoints represents a statewide disgust with the practice of politicians selecting their voters rather than voters electing their representatives.
That practice is Gerrymandering and it must stop.
Members of the Bayshore Tea Party Group and other concerned citizens will hold a constant demonstration from tonight at 7PM until the Commission votes on the map that will bind New Jersey for the next 10 years.
All groups and individuals concerned with the odious process of Gerrymandering and with the intentional dilution of their vote on the altar of protecting incumbent politicians are invited and encouraged to attend.
It’s time the voters of New Jersey stood up and demanded an end to partisan Gerrymandering. That time is now.

In this final installment of my interview with Barbara Gonzales, the founder of the Bayshore Tea Party, we discuss the motivations of the groups members and leadership, the diversity of the members and the truth about who the Tea Party is vs the perception the media is attempting to create about them.
There is now no question that the “Tea Party” is making an impact throughout the nation as they have already here in New Jersey, particularly in the 6th Congressional District.
Who are these people? The mainstream media and the NAACP would have you think that they are crazy radical racists. They are not.
There are those in both the Republican Party and in Tea Party groups that say the Tea Party is pursuing a hostile take over of the GOP. I don’t believe that to be the case either.
I can’t opine on Tea Party groups in NY, NH, Alaska, Utah, Delaware or other places where they have toppled the GOP establishment in primaries. Here in Monmouth County NJ, the Tea Party is comprised of ordinary patriotic citizens who, many after years of complacency, have woken up and are making a difference. Most are political neophytes. They are changing the system as they learn it.
Last month Barbara Sagarese Gonzalez, the founder of the Bayshore Tea Party came to visit MMM. In this first installment of our conversation, Barbara tells us or how and why she started the group and discusses the accomplishments and challenges she and her friends have experienced so far in their quest to elect candidates to say they are for smaller government and mean it.
