Jefferson Van Drew - Congressman, NJ 2nd District

Pied Piper or a savior?
Is someone who is a good speaker, or a likable person, the right
criteria for someone to be great for American values in keeping with
the Constitution of the United States? Of course not. Just look at
recent history and current events to see examples of people with those
abilities, but who have proven to be outright liars and even despots.

Here are some quotes of Congressman Jefferson Van Drew:
"I damn well know one thing, I'm a Democrat and I damn well know at
the end of the day I stick with my party."
"I didn't leave the Democrat party, the party left me."
"I vote my conscience."

So, which is it?
If Jeff Van Drew votes his conscience, maybe the best way to see into
his heart is to look at his voting record. Below is one such record and
analysis. Based on this, he scored lower than many of the worst democrats
...e.g.Nancy Pelosi, Diane Feinstein, Nadler, Kamala Harris, Corey Booker!

Once again, voters seem to be given a Hobson's Choice. Why?
Update- 1/28/2020:
There is a possibility that Congressman Van Drew will demonstrate a true change of heart.
If he follows through on something I cannot reveal at this time, it will be a major indication that he does value our Constitution and national sovereignty and is willing to fight for it.
That would make MANY patriots very thankful and supportive...we will see.
Update- 1/29/2020:
Well, either Congressman Van Drew did not communicate the globalist terms included in the USMCA to President Trump or it fell on deaf ears, as President Trump just signed the treaty. People say President Trump would never allow us to become like the European Union, yet that is exactly the direction the USMCA takes us. Heartbreaking.
Update- 1/29/2020:
During his speech last night at the Trump/Van Drew rally in Wildwood, NJ, President Trump said that Jeff Van Drew was a strong supporter of the Second Amendment. Huh? Congressman Van Drew voted for 5 out of 7 gun control bills in New Jersey! Was his NRA rating calculated before or after his votes? Or, was his rating based solely on his response to the NRA's questionnaire (see below)?

Beware of relying too heavily on ratings of politicians by the National Rifle Association
Politicians can claim anything when filling out a questionnaire.
Excerpt from everytown.org:
According to the NRA, The grade of “AQ” is an NRA A-grade based solely on a candidate’s response
to the NRA’s candidate questionnaire, in the absence of gun-related votes.
A grade of “?” indicates that a candidate did not fill out the NRA’s candidate questionnaire.
Everytown.org is for gun control. However, I have heard Constitutional Republican candidates complain about this, as well.

Below is an excerpt with selected members of Congress highlighted for comparison.
Our representatives, Democrat AND Republican, have wandered far from the U.S. Constitution.
We need to hold them accountable.

Recently, an elected official who was aggressively supporting
Congressman Van Drew for his re-election in 2020 on the radio stated:

"It's my job to do as much as I can for (my city)! Period! End of
story...no mater how I have to go about that, no matter what I need to do, that's what I am going to do...and that's what Jeff Van Drew is going to do...his (Congressman Van Drew) main job is to bring things back to Cape May County (his district)...
Once that's the reality, that's what it is and we can't change it."

His statements totally ignore his oath of office to preserve and protect the Constitution of the United States, assuming he pledged such. He probably says the Pledge of Allegiance on a regular basis at meetings and other occasions, too. But, like so many public servants in our government, those are just words, not reality. This perspective and attitude is a primary cause of many of the problems facing our country and why we have strayed so far from the Constitution our founding fathers gave us.
 This elected official (not Van Drew) came across as a bully, with aggressive and loud commentary, trying to intimidate people and who seemed to convey any belief contrary to his was wrong and not worthy of discussion or consideration ...much like what we have seen in Congress recently. When self proclaimed conservatives use Alinsky tactics like demonization of those perceived as not loyal or in agreement with them, or comments like those recounted here, a big red flag should go up in your mind. This is not the way to make America great again. On the other hand, when someone tells you things they know you want to hear, hold on to your wallet and be wary.

So, think for yourself, do your own due diligence and do not be intimidated. There is too much at stake for us and our country. Once they are elected, watch our public officials like an eagle. Then, if they do not stay true to your values and the Constitution, work to pressure them to do so or get them out of office.
"When the people fear government, there is tyranny. When the government fears the people, there is Liberty." -Thomas Jefferson
Motives and intentions are difficult to ascertain, but actions are a leading indicator of what one's motives and intentions may be. However, my experience has shown me that the more informed I become, the more
I realize how much I did not know...which can be very humbling. Then, I need to adjust my opinion about other people and things accordingly.
As a result, certain people/things I once respected and trusted have proved to be unworthy while for others the opposite is true. So, since all
of us "don't know what we don't know," and we are all a work in progress, anyone can change for the better...which I welcome wholeheartedly. That does not mean I trust them...that takes time and effort by both.
“I, (name), do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; that I take this obligation freely, without any mental reservation or purpose of evasion, and that I will well and faithfully discharge the duties of the office on which I am about to enter.
So help me God.”
"A nation can survive its fools, and even the ambitious. But it cannot survive treason from within.
An enemy at the gates is less formidable, for he is known and carries his banner openly.
He rots the soul of a nation, he works secretly and unknown in the night to undermine the pillars of the city,
he infects the body politic so that it can no longer resist.
A murderer is less to fear. The traitor is the plague." -Cicero
