Originally published in 1896 by Frank R. Stockton (1834 - 1902). This was in reference to an event that occurred on December 22nd, 1774 in Greenwich Township, Cumberland County NJ.

At the time when the American colonists began to be restless under the rule of Great Britain, the people of New Jersey showed as strong a desire for independence as those of any other Colony, and they were by no means backward in submitting to any privations which might be necessary in order to assert their principles. As has been said before, the people were prosperous, and accustomed to good living, and it was not likely that there was any part of America in which a cup of well-flavored tea was better appreciated than in New Jersey.

We have cancelled today's Town Hall Meeting with Jason Scheurer at the Long Hill Township Public Library.  We also thank Jason for appearing Saturday at the Morris County Public Library and spending a great deal of time at the Millington Town Fair in Morris County, which went very well.

The Morris County Libertarian Party will continue planning and holding events in Morris County, and we will announce those events at this website.

I would also like to thank Prof. Howard Kupferman for doing most of the work in organizing these events, and Lou Jasikoff for coordinating between the Morris County Libertarians and the Scheurer campaign.

We are holding several events in Morris County.  They are:

• October 11:  Town Hall Meeting with Jason Scheurer, candidate for Senate, at the Morris County Public Library from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m.

• October 12:  Millington Town Fair, Libertarian Booth with Jason Scheurer.  The Fair is from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m.  We will confirm when Jason will be there.

• October 13:  Town Hall Meeting with Jason Scheurer, candidate for Senate, at the Long Hill Township Public Library, beginning at 7 p.m.

If you have any questions about these events, or wish to be involved, please call me (908-453-2147 or 201-892-4316) or email me ( This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it ).

Join us September 20th in South River, NJ for an Octoberfest party at the beautiful Polanca Park as we rally to support Jason Scheurer for U.S. Senate.

Food, beer, pig roast, music, and barbeque as we gather to have an old fashioned picnic, and organize our efforts to make sure our message and Jasons' get heard this election cycle.

Open to everyone, so please bring the family.  There is a great playground for the kids.

Starts at 11am and runs through the night.  Overnight camping available.

The South Jersey Libertarian Party will be meeting on Saturday, September 6th at Grabbe's Seafood Restaraunt at 1pm.  Grabbe's is located at the intersection of Rts 47 and 130 in Westville.  For more information contact either This e-mail address is being protected from spambots.

I'd like to invite you to see IJ in action in a major New Jersey eminent domain case.  The case involves homeowners in Long Branch, NJ, who stand to lose their homes to a private developer seeking to build beachfront condos.  Because New Jersey continues to be one of the worst abusers of eminent domain, this case is being closely watched across the nation.

UPDATE: Read more about it in a Asbury Park Press article. Say a prayer tonight for these homeowners!

This article contains interviews with NJLP members who have visited New Hampshire, the home of the libertarian “Free State Project .” (FSP). The FSP encourages libertarians to emigrate and establish residence in NH with the goal to facilitate libertarian political action and reforms there–or at least by preventing or limiting socialist/statist developments. After all, what libertarian could argue with the state motto: “Live Free or Die”?

New Hampshire has two FSP annual events where visitors and residents can celebrate freedom. From January 3 to Sunday January 6 the 2008 NH Liberty Forum will be held in Nashua, NH. This event is immediately prior to the primary elections on January 8, and the final scheduled speaker is Presidential candidate Ron Paul. The 2008 Porcupine Freedom Festival PorcFest 2008 will take place on June 9 to June 15, 2008 at the Gunstock Mountain Resort in Guilford, NH.
