Gay Daughter of Christie's Challenger Blasts the Gov

In case you missed it, yesterday Democratic gubernatorial candidate state Sen. Barbara Buono's gay daughter, Tessa Bitterman,wrote a letter and posted a Youtube video to Buono supporters discussing governor Christie's opposition to same-sex marriage. In it, Bitterman says she is a "gay American" and Christie is a "giant roadblock to New Jersey achieving equality for all.", and asks for our help to support  her mother's campaign.

Here's the full text:

Growing up, my mom was always there for me no matter what. I’m gay and from an early age I felt free to express myself with my mother, knowing she would always support me for who I am.

As a gay American I have a stake in what our governor says about marriage equality. And I have been deeply shocked by Chris Christie. As governor, he has been a giant roadblock to New Jersey achieving equality for all. By failing to support marriage equality, Christie is blatantly delegitimizing an entire group of people.

I have also seen Chris Christie misrepresent himself as a moderate to New Jersey – that’s why it’s even more important to stop him before he takes his radical show on the road when he goes national after this election.

My mom is facing a huge deadline on June 30th at midnight. If we want to stop Christie – if we want to keep his politics of polarizing and dividing people from spreading beyond New Jersey – we’ve got to click here and donate to my mom’s campaign before the big deadline on Sunday.

Now that Christie is running for re-election, he is more than happy to try and portray himself as a moderate. But the truth is – his record scares me. It scares me because if he takes his brand of deception national, all Americans are in for a rude awakening.
