Chris Smith's Words Have Consequences
For Immediate Release:
1/27/16
WHY IS CONGRESSMAN CHRIS SMITH NJ (D4 - R) STILL TALKING ABOUT BODY PARTS?
D4CC calls for Chris Smith to cease using the fraudulent smear videos and hateful lies to spread his EXTREME agenda.
Eleven states have found no evidence of wrongdoing by Planned Parenthood and eight states declined to investigate. The only people who engaged in wrongdoing are the criminals behind the fraudulent videos.
We are glad they are being held accountable but Congressman Chris Smith NJ (R), Chair of the Congressional Pro Life Caucus, continues to use the videos as justification for pushing his anti-abortion agenda.
Smith's words have consequences.The rhetoric comparing Planned Parenthood to "baby killers" and murderers is what provoked the Planned Parenthood shooting in Colorado where three innocent people died and left six children without a parent.
As Chair of the Congressional Pro Life Caucus and an elected member of Congress, Smith has a responsibility to rule with integrity and honesty.
Chris Smith Speech on Roe v Wade Anniversary - 1/22/16
Recent undercover videos by Center for Medical Progress have exposed in numbing candor several high level Planned Parenthood leaders gleefully talking about procuring children’s organs for a price, all while altering gruesome dismemberment procedures to preserve “intact” livers, hearts and lungs from freshly killed babies.
Watch the videos yourself at centerformedicalprogress.org.

Smith's Anti Choice Legislation written into Permanent Law?
Smith Introduces and co-sponsors one of the largest Pro - Life efforts in Congress.
In a letter to his colleagues asking them to become an original co-sponsor of the legislation, Congressman Smith writes:“For over 30 years, a patchwork of policies has regulated federal funding for abortion. Together these various policies ensure that the American taxpayer is not involved in funding the destruction of innocent human life through abortion on demand.”
Smith's No Taxpayer Funding for Abortion Act attempts to write anti choice legislation into permanent law
The reason this legislation is needed goes beyond the recent health care law. As Congressman Smith states:
“Most of the existing federal policies are limitation amendments attached to annual appropriations bills (sometimes referred to as riders), which have to be reapproved every year. This ‘as needed’ approach usually results in a debate over abortion funding anytime Congress considers health-related legislation.”
This new legislation establishes a consistent government-wide prohibition on abortion funding. Under current law, funding for abortion and abortion coverage is prohibited through a patchwork of policies, most of which must be annually reapproved in Appropriations bills. The “No Taxpayer Funding for Abortion Act” will reduce the need for numerous separate abortion funding policies and ensure that no program or agency is exempt.
Policies that would be made permanent under Congressman Smith’s legislation include:
- Hyde amendment (related to programs funded through the annual Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) appropriations)
- Helms amendment (concerning overseas programs)
- Smith FEHBP amendment (concerning coverage for federal employees)
- Dornan amendment (regarding funding in Washington DC)
- Other policies governing programs such as the Peace Corp and federal prisons.
- Codifies the conscience clause known as Hyde-Weldon.
http://www.catholicadvocate.com/2010/08/seeking-to-settle-taxpayer-funded-abortion-
once-and-for-all/
Last January 2014, Congress passed Smith's Bill The No Taxpayer Funding for Abortion Act. The Senate would not vote on it.
The New GOP Congress will be voting on the NO TAXPAYER FUNDING FOR ABORTION ACT.
The President should VETO it but... the Veto is the ONLY thing that prevents this Bill from becoming PERMANENT LAW.
Our Congressman, Chris Smith, leads Congress in the most egregious anti woman, anti choice legislation. It is up to us to stop him.

Watch Powerful Video - 2 Years Since Newtown - Nearly 100 School Shootings
District 4 Coalition for Change:
Nearly 100 School Shootings since the two year anniversary of Newtown, December 14, and Congress has done nothing to protect our children.
New Moms Demand Action Video - We Can't Hide from Gun Violence
What are we doing to our kids?
Gun Violence is homegrown terrorism and we do not need to live this way.
It's up to us. District 4 Congressman Chris Smith refuses to support expanded National Universal Background Checks. District 4 overwhelmingly supports UBC. Why won't Smith do his his job and represent this community.
Call Congressman Chris Smith and insist that he support current legislation to expand safe, common sense practices that protect our children.
Smith's office will tell you rhetoric about how he has supported gun reform which dates back 20 years. The things Smith voted for in the past are no longer relevant due to changes in the laws. Don't be fooled and intimidated by his assistant, Kate's attempt to confuse you. Tell Smith you want him to support a National Standard of Expanded Universal Background Checks.

Congressman Chris Smith's Opposition to Birth Control Is A Driving Force Behind “Life Begins At Fertilization” Bills
District 4 Coalition for Change -
We have two years to make sure every single person that cares about Women's Rights and Healthcare in Congressional D4 NJ is aware of Smith's Extremism. We will not lose again!
Chris Smith, Chairman Of The House Pro-Life Caucus, Argued That Common Forms Of Birth Control That Prevent Implantation Result In “Many Abortions.” According to the Congressional Record, Smith stated:
“Mr. Chairman, due to the lateness of the hour, I do not intend on taking the full 5 minutes. Let me make it very clear that part of the problem with the Lowey amendment was that it did not define contraception. Many of us have been concerned that the pro-abortion lobby and the pro-abortion organizations over the years have tried to fudge the line of demarcation between fertilization post- and pre-fertilization. Many of the chemicals, many of the devices that are now employed that are permitted under the Federal Employees Health Benefits Program do indeed result in many abortions, newly created human lives that are not permitted to implant in their mother’s womb. In a nutshell, my amendment is designed to clarify that if we are indeed going to force all of the Federal providers of medical care, the HMOs and all the providers as a condition of receiving reimbursement for all of their prescriptions, whether it be for penicillin or any other drug, that they have, to provide “a provision for contraceptive coverage”, let us at least make it clear that the gentle lady’s language excludes abortion-inducing chemicals. That is what my amendment very simply seeks to do.” [144 Cong Rec H 5951, 7/20/98]

THE Congressman CHRIS SMITH PACKAGE.
By District 4 Coalition for Change
A Republican supporter of our movement to #stopchrissmith told us that her Republican friends were going to vote for the whole package, regarding Chris Smith.
So, we decided to review what is in the Chris Smith Package and here are our TOP TEN reasons to VOTE AGAINST Chris Smith.
1. Voted to close the government - closing parks, impacting veteran benefits and putting people out of work.
2. Voted for the Ryan Budge - cutting benefits for Veterans, the elderly and cuts long term care for the disabled and autistic. Also, reopens the prescription drug "Donut hole" impacting the elderly.
The Consortium for Disabled Persons, the Veterans and the Autistic Society urged Smith to NOT vote YES on the Ryan Budget - but he voted as a GOP block anyway and ignored is constituents.
3. He has not lived in NJ for over 30 years. His children received Virginia In State tuition for college. He was not here for 9/11, Irene or Sandy. Which is probably why he made an oath to NOT support any climate change legislation unless it also provided tax cuts for the biggest polluters, the Koch Brothers who wrote the pledge!
4. He voted Against Wage Fairness in 2014
5. Voted for Personhood over and over again. Personhood gives a fetus the same rights as an adult human. Personhood BANS ALL birth control, stem cell research and in - vitro fertilization.
6. Wrote Bill, HR3, redefining the language of rape to forcible rape. Women would have to be beaten, bloody or worse to prove they were raped based on Smith's definition.
7. Voted to OUTLAW the Birth Control Pill.
8. Smith is Against CHOICE even in cases of RAPE, INCEST and to SAVE THE LIFE OF THE MOTHER.
9. Smith refuses to support common sense expanded Universal Background Checks that keep guns out of the hands of rapists, criminals, domestic abusers and terrorists. Even after 87 school shootings, Smith will not support Gun Reform.
10. Voted Against the VIOLENCE AGAINST WOMEN'S ACT IN 2013.
To boot, Smith will not support Marriage Equality.
Is that the package that the Republican's are voting for?
Who in this District does he actually represent?

Congressman Chris Smith has not Lived in NJ for Over 30 Years!
By District 4 Coalition for Change:
Congress gave themselves the month off to campaign.
http://www.app.com/story/opinion/readers/2014/09/27/letter-congress-campaigning-solving-problems/16287029/
Congressman Smith has not lived in NJ for over 30 years. He raised his family and educated his children in Virginia.
Law requires Congressional Representatives to maintain a domicile in the state they represent. For most of his career, Congressman Smith rented a townhome in Mercer County from a relative and owned a
home in Virginia. It is rumored that due to pressure from previous campaign rivals, Smith recently purchased the townhome. His neighbors have never seen him.
Where does Chris Smith Live?

Savvy Smith Undermines his Own Work for Austism
By District 4 Coalition for Change
Publically Congressman Chris Smith Is a Champion of Autism but behind closed doors he undermines his work and his constituents. Please share this with friends and family that care about Autism.
Smith is savvy. His Newsletter arrived in the mail this week.
What Smith Omits from his Newsletter is what we should be paying attention to.
He left out his Signature Legislation HR7 that blocks private insurance companies and Flexible Spending Accounts from covering women's reproductive care. There was no mention of the Hobby Lobby and Buffer rulings in the Supreme Court in which he advocated for as well as helped architect the legislation and... NO MENTION OF THE RYAN BUDGET in which Smith VOTED YEA.
The Ryan Budget was warned as dangerous by the Autism Society.

Student Debt Ignored By Our Congressman, Chris Smith; Maybe It's Time To Have A Congressman That Actually Lives In NJ
by District 4 Coalition for Change
Why has Middletown's Congressman, Chris Smith, ignored the issue of student loan debt ?
One reason is that Congressman Smith does not live among us and has no idea what it is to be a New Jerseyan. He has not lived in NJ for over 30 years. He does not deny it. Smith raised his family and educated them in Virginia. He even received VIRGINIA IN STATE TUITION.
Must be nice.
In Smith's second term as District 4 Congressman, roughly 1984, he moved full time to Virginia. Even though DC is a short drive to NJ, Smith chose to leave our state and live full time in Virginia. In order to represent NJ as our Congressman, Smith is required to maintain a DOMICILE in the state. For much of his 33 years as Congressman, Smith rented a townhome from a family member in Mercer. In recent election cycles, he was tagged for his living arrangements and it is rumored that he has purchased the property. Smith is said to be in NJ roughly 2 dozen days a year.
When Congress goes on recess, other Congressman go to their home states and meet with constituents, Smith goes home to Virginia. He rarely steps foot in the state. District 4 NJ is one of the most under represented districts in the Country. Congressmen represent their districts in DC and collectively Congressman write our laws. We are not being represented properly. Why do we put up with it and how can Smith represent us in Congress when he does not live among us?

I've recently stumbled across a group calling themselves the District 4 Coaltion for Change over on the Patch website. Their main purpose is to enlighten those living in Congressman Chris Smith's 4th Congressional District (which includes most of Monmouth County and a large portion of Middletown) about Chris Smith and his far-right, ultra-conservative beliefs and voting record.Chris Smith's congressional district was redrawn after the 2010 census and many residents in the district are new and have no idea who Smith is or what he stands for even though he was comfortably reelected for the first time in his newly redrawn district in 2012.
I don't know who started the group District 4 Coalition for Change or who belongs to it (I'm trying to find out, I've recently reached out to them, I found them on Facebook) but I like that they are attempting to educate district residents on Smith's congressional record. In the future I will be posting their material here on the blog. In the mean time why not take a look and and check them out yourself.
Below is the Mission and Purpose Statement for District 4 Coalition for Change:
On behalf of all residents of New Jersey’s 4th Congressional District, local members of issue advocacy groups are mobilizing together with a common goal: Get Congressman Chris Smith to become responsive to all his constituents so he can better act on our behalf in Washington. Experience has shown that Congressman Smith fails to engage with NJ4 Citizens and other public interest groups on the issues that matter. Examples include:
Failure to hold Town Hall meetings
Refusal to debate his opponents
"Wait listing" individuals and groups that request meetings with him
Often not responding to press requests for statements on current issues.
We demand an active, frequent, ongoing dialogue. Starting today, we request that Congressman Smith:
Hold local Town Hall meetings
Participate in public debates with other Congressional candidates
Move faster through the “wait list” of individuals and groups that request to meet with him
Increase communication with local press
Congressman Smith is positioned to speak for us, yet he doesn't speak with us. We deserve a congressman who talks with residents and uses his status to advance policies that are aligned with our interests. Residents of NJ-4 will no longer accept a congressperson who fails to interact with those people he is sworn to represent. We deserve better. We deserve our voices be heard and accurately represented on the federal level.
