Straight Guys weigh in on Gay Marriage

by: Jay Lassiter

Thu Feb 18, 2010 at 11:08:56 AM EST

Gosh darn it, sometimes I just love me some straight men. - - promoted by Rosi

It appears that straight guys who don't run the Democratic Party are losing patience with the straight dudes who do.

Medical Marijuana in New Jersey. Finally.

by: Jay Lassiter

Tue Jan 12, 2010 at 02:30:40 PM EST

When the NJ Senate and Assembly overwhelmingly passed a medical marijuana bill yesterday it put the Garden State in line to be the 14th state in the union to decriminalize cannabis for sick people.

Assemblyman Michael Patrick Carroll has the QOTD in this one for sure.

I've posted so many videos on this site and elsewhere I can't hardly remember them all, but this issue is possibly the most satisfying day I've has as an activist since the Obama/Alder double victory.  

So take a minute to meet the heros of this battle.

Will Senator Beach Abstain on all the Tough Choices?

by: Jay Lassiter

Sat Jan 09, 2010 at 12:29:43 PM EST

Senator Jim Beach should know that hell hath no fury like a (scornful) bunch of angry queens (who've been midled.)

(Honestly, this video was just testing some new audio gear)

One Hurdle Down, Three to Go: a schizophrenic day for Marriage

by: Jay Lassiter

Mon Dec 07, 2009 at 11:09:33 PM EST

Jay Lassiter planned all along to go down to the statehouse yesterday and blog for us. But then, something happened in his hometown, that made him stay there, to capture for you today what the people of Cherry Hill did when the fools came to town. Great job, Jay - promoted by Rosi

Today the NJ Senate Judiciary voted on gay marriage equality.   And what a long strange trip it's been clearing the first hurdle.

Marriage Equality, the Highlight reel

by: Jay Lassiter

Mon Nov 23, 2009 at 06:25:28 PM EST

Promoted by Jason Springer: Jay gives us more of the view from Trenton, this time in Video. Thanks for being there to tell the story for us.

There's too much work to be done to WIN marriage equality that I don't have the time to polish off the perfect video.  It's a rush job.

But it's only 2m20 you totally get the message.

Honoring Senator Kennedy

Jay .... this is lovely. -- promoted by Rosi

One of the best things about spending the last four years following politicians around with a video camera is the tons of file footage I've acquired.  It's an especially useful tool for expressing one's self when words are hard to find.  Like now.

"Cherry Hill will be Christie Country!!!"

by: Jay Lassiter

Tue Jul 21, 2009 at 01:59:15 PM EDT

Promoted by Jason Springer: Chris Christie was in Cherry Hill today and Jay Lassiter, who dubbed himself the official welcome wagon head cheerleader was there to say hello.

Chris Christie and I crossed paths today at my local Jersey diner.  Thankfully the encounter did not happen in the men's room.

P.S.  Kim Guadagno was there too.  She was pretty smooth with the crowd and and came off appealing.  (just saying......)

Medical Marijuana and why we need access NOW

by: Jay Lassiter

Tue Feb 24, 2009 at 12:52:49 PM EST

Chances are there is someone in your life who might benefit from a Compassionate Marijuana Law in New Jersey.  A bill that would allow terminally ill New Jerseyans access to cannibis passed the Senate yesterday and is now headed to the Assembly.  So make sure to call your reps today.

NJ's NO NO NO Clowncar, a creationist myth

by: Jay Lassiter

Fri Feb 20, 2009 at 08:20:14 PM EST

With the GOP Congressional caucus in full-on goosestep mode, it's entirely possible you've wondered what led to all this chronic naysaying?  I've been curious about that myself, and came up with this hypothesis.

Gatekeepers to Marriage Equality for all New Jerseyans

by: Jay Lassiter

Fri Jan 16, 2009 at 12:00:11 PM EST

Promoted: From Jay's vision, to reality. (Let's hope.) -JG

Old b-roll footage can be intriguing to watch, including this clip with Senator Barbara Buono from last summer's paid family leave bill signing.   She praises the leadership skills of Sen. Steve Sweeney -- who's since become Senate majority leader.  It kinda got me thinking about what's possible for GLBT rights in New Jersey.

It's all anyone's talking blogging about these days (all across the political spectrum.)   At least we can agree on one thing:  Iraq = expensive.

Blue Jersey interviews Speaker Roberts

by: Jay Lassiter

Fri Jun 13, 2008 at 12:59:05 PM EDT

When Assembly Speaker Joe Roberts reached out to Blue Jersey to help get the word out about his fair housing initiative, he did so because some problems require progressive solutions.  And New Jersey's housing policy is way up on the list.

It's not the sexiest topic in the world, but the alternative is nothing short of racial segregation in this state.  So have a peek and please call your reps and weigh in on bill A-500.

Gettin' Bloggy w/ Gov. Florio

In the effort to keep our partisan messages cheerful, I offer up this vlog nugget with Governor Florio.   There are very few people out there who can offer advise about winning a Garden State-wide race, so it was hard to resist the opportunity.

Universal Health Care in New Jersey

by: Jay Lassiter

Tue Mar 18, 2008 at 09:25:52 AM EDT

Stop whatever you're doing, and kindly watch this vlog which lays out the first steps of Senator Vitale's plan to provide all New Jersey'ans access to affordable healthcare.

This press conference + QnA went two hours, so mashing up this vlog was ambitious.  If this video provokes any curiosities, please comment on them.  I might be able to field any question based on the notes I took.  But at this point the heft of the subject matter clearly far outstrips my editing skills.
