Why We Started 'We Stand With Chris Christie'


Whether you agree with him or not, you must admit that New Jersey Governor Chris Christie's performance yesterday was a tour de force.
For two hours, Governor Christie faced a gaggle of media, many of who were bent on turning him into their latest conquest. From Democrats, liberals, Big Media and even many conservatives, the scent of bloodlust hanged heavy in the air. The headlines had already all but pronounced Christie a political corpse.
But that was before the Big Guy stepped up to the microphone.
And then Chris Christie had his say.
Right from the start, we always told you that Chris Christie was tough but fair; that he prized loyalty and gave loyalty in return; that he took people at his word and kept his own word as well and that far from being a bully, he recognized and helped those in need, cared about the feelings of others and took his job very seriously. We sensed all this in Chris Christie from the very start.
Beneath the tough veneer, we saw a big heart.
We knew that he cared about -- indeed, loved -- his state and the people in it.
What you saw yesterday was the tangible evidence of all that -- and more.
Never has a public figure revealed himself so completely and with such authenticity, sincere remorse and forthrightness. Never.
And so, we want Chris Christie to know that we stand with him during this difficult time -- that we will rally to his side and help give him the support that he needs to carry on.
We hope you'll join us in this endeavor -- and that you'll bring friends and neighbors and co-workers along.
Now, is the time to say We Stand With Chris Christie!
