You can't turn on a television, open a newspaper, or hop on the Internet right now without hearing about Bridge-gate--the political scandal surrounding Governor Chris Christie.
But what you may not be hearing is that Gov. Christie's bullying goes way beyond creating massive traffic problems for a mayor who didn't endorse his re-election. For years, he's been pushing extreme policies that hurt New Jersey women while framing himself as a moderate.
Right now, when he's in the national spotlight, we have a chance to let people everywhere know the truth about his policies. That's why we made this sharable graphic.

The new teachers don't have tenure protection, and can be fired whenever the school board deems them too expensive. No, it's not about quality teachers. They'll fire good teachers and hire new, weaker, less-experienced teachers to save a buck and get the local Boards of Ed re-elected.

Chris Christie is a thug. A bum. Lower than a snake's belly. And that's all I'm going to say about that.
