Yesterday New Jersey Governor Chris Christie conditionally vetoed NJCare’s botched S799/A1399 bill, offering up his own set of recommendations that draw on both the disastrous NJ CARE bill and the NJ ACLU/Catholic Conference/Right to Life alternative bill. (Neither bill stood firm for authentic Bastard rights.) Thus Governor Christie, in attempting to sew together bits and […]

Mourning Dress and Hat – 1870s (Owned by Obscura Antiques & Oddities of New York City) via 19th Century Post Today, I’m feeling very Casandra. I shouldn’t have to blog this, I’ve written it all before, over and over again. Today’s events are everything I’ve continually warned of year in and year out. NJ-CARE’s short […]
New Jersey There is a significant possibility that New Jersey’s botched legislation, SCS1406 (SCS799/1399) has been pulled for this session. But this is no time to become complacent. We must keep the pressure on: keep educating, keep communicating with lawmakers and the Governor, and keep working for nothing short of restored equality. Those advocating in […]
On Monday the New Jersey Assembly’s Human Services Committee heard testimony on A1406 (The Assembly’s version of the New Jersey Senate’s S799.) The bill has become a mangled beyond repair attempt at what was originally intended to be open records legislation. At this point the two bills have been combined and are now known as […]

New Jersey’s horribly botched bill S799, (formerly A752, which I blogged about last December, New Jersey- let A752 die: the conflation of family medical history with authentic restored access, white outs, and preemptive restraining orders among other nightmare senarios) is scheduled to come before the New Jersey Senate on Monday (March 22nd, 2010.) See the […]

I’m still here, still working, and yes, ‘the blogging shall continue until morale improves’.) *** So here’s a brief post I’ve been meaning to write for some time now. Start with this November 21st article out of the Star […]

I haven’t written a post here since Nov of 2011 for a number of reasons. I’ve needed the time. Back on May 10th, 2010, the day before my birthday, I received a copy of my unamended original birth certificate. Even the day prior, I had bemoaned the regressing state of Bastard rights, decried the “Faustian […]
