David Larsen for Congress

It's been said that New Jersey was the crossroads of the American Revolution: here many major battles and skirmishes were waged and here an ocean of patriot blood was shed. It seems these days that history has come full circle and once again New Jersey plays a critical role in the future of America as political contests waged in primaries throughout the state determine the direction we take - locally and nationally. Our nation is at another crossroads and we must decide whether to continue the failed policies of those who believe in bigger government and more regulation or return to the principles of personal liberty and economic freedom that made America the "last, best hope for mankind on earth."

Conservatives from around New Jersey’s Seventh District converged last night to attend a fundraiser at the Basking Ridge Country Club in honor of Congressional Candidate, David Larsen. Mr. Larsen is seeking the Republican nomination for U.S. Congress in New Jersey’s Seventh Congressional District.

Rich Nodine, Executive Director of the Conservative Party of New Jersey, recently notified the Larsen for Congress campaign that his organization has officially endorsed David Larsen in the upcoming June 5 Republican primary.

Earlier today in an exclusive interview with ABC News, President Barack Obama announced that he supports same-sex marriage - a striking reversal in light of his longstanding opposition.

In an interview with ABC News’ Robin Roberts, the president described his thought process as an “evolution” that led him to this place, based on conversations with his own staff members, openly gay and lesbian service members, and conversations with his wife and own daughters.

The Independence Hall Tea Party Political Action Committee - the only Tea Party PAC in the TriState DE-NJ-PA region that is registered with the federal government - announced its endorsements for the June 5 primary:

"With the Primary just four weeks away, we are proud to announce our endorsed candidates for the US House of Representatives from Central and South Jersey," said PAC President, Don Adams.

Three of the candidates are in competitive primary races.

"Our first endorsed candidate, Dave Larsen (NJ-7), is a conservative's conservative," Adams said. "The PAC unanimously voted to support Larsen's primary challenge to unseat Republican incumbent Leonard Lance because Congressman Lance is not a conviction conservative--he's a moderate who votes conservative when it's politically expedient to do so."

"Larsen, a natural conservative, will be a reliable vote in Congress."

The Independence Hall Tea Party Association, the sister organization of the Independence Hall Tea Party PAC, was formed in May, 2009 after two successful Tea Parties held at Independence Mall, Philadelphia--one in February and one in April of that year.

The Association is the largest Tea Party group in the tri-state region with thousands of members and supporters.
